I live in Minnesota and I am seeing more and more people standing at intersections with signs asking for money, even in the suburbs. I live a very nice development in the city of Ramsey with a 2 1/2 acre wooded lot and my daughter found a tent in the woods on our property. The police told us it was a homeless tent. This isn't just Florida, it's happening everywhere.
Everywhere in the world* Europe's fucked too. Shit has gone way too expensive when a shitty 100 year old flat is going for 1 million + euros outside city.. Prices of everything is up 50% than what it was pre-covid while wages are barely up 5% lmao
My great grandfather use to breed racehorses in Ocala. He owned Forty Oaks Farm back in the day. I have a beautiful painting of Beaver Street who was bred with the famous Native Dancer, producing Native Street.
No the homeless get help In Gainesville they are allowed up town They get bus passes. Alachua county is a good place to live an great law abiding citizen ds who work for a living.
Jose. Love your videos. But you need to know the difference between a homeless person and bum!! A homeless person is someone that is going through some hard difficult time and lost his home. A bum is a lazy person that chooses to be lazy and beg for money. Lots of them on the side of the road. Florida is more and more full of them. My wife is from Ocala and I’ve been going there for the past 20yrs and yes it gone shit!
Meanwhile Governor DeSantis has taken jabs at San Francisco, Portland and Seattle with their homeless problems. Florida has a big homeless problem, but like you said Jose, it's hidden because they live in the woods, not so much on the streets where everyone can see. 😞
Florida may have a lot of homeless but if any Floridian sees anybody taking an actual **** on the sidewalk you're gonna get a beat down There may be a boat ride
Yes it's going to shit fast! Still 900 transplants moving here a day for the last 15years and that includes the homeless..57year born and Raised Central Floridian here. I don't even like to drive anymore.
The homeless women in the red tank top at 2:14 used to beg for quite awhile at an intersection in Miami a few years ago. I recognized her immediately. Her signs never said anything about children back then. This was around the time of the pandemic. I live in a wealthy area in a miami suburb and I assure you that many people here would get very involved seeing a homeless woman on the side of the road mentioning children in need, which is probably why she never said that here because people would have questions and start offering professional help/resources. So either she’s lying or she decided to go and have three children as an already homeless women in a time span of a few years. I always help homeless people, but I never trusted this women. I think it’s a drug/ or pimp situation going on. Very sad to see she hasn’t gotten out of that situation.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS we don’t have as much as a homeless problem but there are definitely other issues here. I would recommend tampa over here if you can swing it.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS its actually quite haunting to see her on a video. She didn’t have shoes back when she begged here, and she lost a very noticeable amount of weight before she left. She was actually on the heavier side when I first saw her. She always was wearing the workout clothes. I think it could potentially be a pimp situation. There was another women here that actually was pregnant as she would show her stomach with the shirt tied up. She had two pregnancies. I used to give her money and then one day I saw her taking the money to a man at a gas station. He counted it and it was hundreds of dollars (like over $500). I think people caught on to her gig as well and she left town.
Long time no watch or comment Jose! Great to see you a little there anyway...those Gypsies still doing that same crap there. Using their whole families to bait or ""GUILT" you into giving them money or selling crap like quick fixes to your cars dents, etc.. so sad! This is how they live because it makes them more money than having a real job or business and then they don't have to pay any taxes. Most are probably not even here legally. Living in Warner Robins now almost a year. Love it here, there are issues like any place but its a heck of a lot better than Lehigh. Sending out love and great vibes to you, Katie, and your parents.
We were just at the buc”ees in macon! 🫤 wish i had known! Off to canada. We hung out there like half an hour. Glad its worked out, lehigh worst than ever. Shootings and hate as usual. Houses being built on every block.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Buc-ees is 15 minutes from my house. They have the best BBQ in town I've found. Their Tex Mex Brisket sandwiches fly off the shelfs like crazy. Went there a couple of Sundays ago for my birthday on May 7th and had to go back in for a 2nd one LOL the bbq in this town otherwise sucks! Safe travels to Canada Eh! LOL
My wife and I have so much mental health issues in our family's, and both of us, and some our family, would be on the streets, for sure, if we didn't get help from our therapists and doctors. But we're doing okay right now. Mental health is so important and it is so easy for people to decline and not get help, or even know they need help, or where to go for help.
My family too. My three adult children are on SS disability. When their father died and the benefits changed to survivor's benefits, we were given Medicare, that has basically no mental health options other than a counselor. They are far over the capabilities of a counselor. I need help, but could train the counselors myself. I wish we had support, it's getting too hard.
That's interesting the same looking guy here in New York City but with a brand new 2022 Cadillac Escalade tried to sell me a fake gold ring for gas money ridiculous smh
I'm gonna go by that Ocala BP in two weeks when I get vacation time(work in Ocala daily) I bet that dude is still there and I'm gonna call out his line of BS😂. You are correct about the homeless being out of sight, out of mind. There is a camp close by my house, the locals all know it exists. I barely can foot my own gasoline expenses living an hour away so I just work harder and get that overtime!
I always knew Florida had a lot of homeless people because you see them beg, but I never knew they’re all hidden away in the woods. :o and you’d never know unless you know the signs
Ocala forest is full of tent cities as well. It is hard to stop it as they just move a bit and set up again. I don't think they can police it enough to stop it, many are nutjobs as well. That is a big reason why they don't have a job and live on the streets. Been that way since they closed the insane asylums years and years ago. Our government doesn't give a crap and is importing more daily.
Humble yourself my frd hard times happens no matter what they do with it u still get your blessing...and just so u know nobody can make nobody else look bad but person themselves, every one represents themselves.
I grew up in North Florida and moved to South Florida in 2015, and I really enjoyed growing up there in Citrus Springs, I was up there recently visited my dad and I went to local park and I couldn't believe what I saw, completely different scene then the one I remember, ghetto as hell, people asking me if I wanna buy drugs, and lots of homeless
Though it's probably because of the nuclear power plant that went out of business, that took away a lot of the high-paying jobs that made Citrus County more "upper-class" back in the day. Nowdays, it seems like Ocala is taking over Citrus County and making it old-folks home glorie. Really sad to see coming from growing up there
We spent a week in Gainesville..I absolutely hated it. I don’t even stop there anymore. Over by the mall and the hotels the homeless is really bad in Gainesville.
I love Florida. I moved to Tampa six years ago and really love it. I moved for the weather. Right now as I’m typing this on December 1st it’s a lovely 75° and sunny. In my former hometown in Ohio it’s a measly 43° and cloudy. There are homeless people all over the United States. As I’m watching this video I’m thinking to myself “who gives a crap?” Enjoy the day. Go to the beach, visit a restaurant or go for a jog in a nice park. How could someone be so miserable when there’s so much sunshine and warmth? Move to Chicago and freeze for 8 months since Florida is so “horrible”.

I don't believe what you are saying about Gainesville Florida. Not sure why you are making it sound like Gainesville Florida is like California. Maybe people are living in the woods. But not on the sidewalks at all. No homeless person i have ever seen living on a tent shooting up on a sidewalk in Alachua County. Shooting up and feces on city sidewalks is absolutely not tolerated. The people in Gainesville are liberal people, but they are not corrupt and they do not tolerate people using drugs and living on a sidewalk. They would be arrested for drugs. Or whatever you call using the bathroom on the sidewalk. No tent is allowed to be setup near a sidewalk or park area. As well, people in Gainesville Florida are very highly intelligent and resourceful people. They help each other, and they do not tolerate sex offenders. I am commenting this at 6:39 on this post video, so i have not watched the rest to see if what you are saying is visually documented. I have not been to Gainesville in a year. There used to be homeless people near the Courthouse because there is a homeless shelter and services there, but there was never any open drug use ever that i saw since 1988.
I live in Polk County and let me assure you over the past even 5 years the homeless population has absolutely EXPLODED, and so has the meth abuse. The roads are congested all the time. I hate Florida. It is too overpopulated; along with it the homeless and is a meth-addict magnet. It is seriously bad in Central Florida.
this dude😂😂 “gainesvilles ruined” proceeds to go to the eastside of gainesville and bring you to a literal homeless shelter.. there are people all around bc they are waiting to be housed.. homeless people are not the issue my friend. ive been homeless. it happens to a lot of people. theyre not all on drugs and just bumming around.. although obviously there are a lot that do.. but this video is sad man. so fuckin judgy😂
I like the weather in Gainesville and the restaurants are good in the tricks that are dropped out of college that are walking up and down the street Need our help
What good restaurants? Please tell me.. because we have not found em. I remember a good bbq place off 24 but thats was so long ago not even sure if they still around
Homeless people LIVE at the exit of Walmart on Six Mile Cypress and Colonial at 5pm playing acoustic guitar with their dog! I don't hear the music at all though.
That's sad,the beggers,we got them here in nj too,they get dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon and they have the little kids along looking sad....crazy
I fell for the 24k Necklace & Watch for gas money hustle at a Loves truck stop in Little Rock. When I saw kids in the back seat of the SUV I thought they were legit. Cost me $500.
I left Florida due to the rise in rent costs and was telling a guy where I live now how bad the homeless and housing situation was and he said that couldn’t be true because we have DeSantis I was like bro your insane he could care less about working class people
Darnit Jose if i had known you were going to do a Gainsville drive through i would have asked you to do s drive bye of one of my most beloved musicians and artists Tom Petty homestead.
i remember 2 years ago every time i go into a Walmart in Ocala and come out people asking me for 5 10 bucks for gas i just say get a job i seen them drive off later on if not they going around asking other people
Homelessness and poverty have numerous causes and they all require a nuanced approach. Many of the homeless have mental health issues that need to be addressed by both society and the individual who has to want the help and cannot be forced. Poverty in general has to be done with a nuanced approach and that includes the people living in poverty to take ownership of their problems so they can begin to fix them. Government assistance on its own will not help if people do not take ownership over tghe problems even if they did not cause them.
what do u mean overdose rates are mostly rural? is that overdose deaths, or something because more i would expect more overdoses in urban areas, do you have some breadcrums i can search for source
Wrong. The urban areas are unaffordable because no affordable housing is allowed. That pushes the poverty to the outskirts. People can’t make a living out there, or won’t work the jobs that illegals will take, so they go on public assistance. That is the REPUBLICAN way.
it is not rural it is the cities and I know that for a fact. I don't even stop for gas in the big towns anymore, I fuel up in the sticks and go back to the sticks. I will live in my own cardboard box before I would move to any of the cities here in Florida with a large population, It aint safe anymore. They have lost their frigging minds in the cities. ALL over the US.
I just moved from San Diego to Tampa and it’s not remotely close. Florida may have horrible weather compared to California but homelessness is California’s thing here in Florida it is way less out of control.
0:59 From a self preservation tactical position don't tell someone you're armed. If you need to create distance and draw your weapon than do it but don't tell a potential bad guy that you are armed. At least that's what I think. *YMMV*
Listen I had been homeless before I had no place to live I lost everything and I'll tell you what when I pan handled I got off the street I got me a place to live and I have not been homeless since so please do not down the panhandlers or the homeless because one day you will be in that situation to God bless you❤
When they are sporting more gold baubles on the ears and necks it is hard to believe they really have a need, Pawn that shit first and then beg for more, Maybe then I will believe them, till l see that they are con artists.
Good documentary but you need to slow your panning way down...Pan the camera too fast and it makes it hard to watch because it is blurry...Otherwise it is excellent..
They assume they can play the “bad thing happened” and use their appearance of wealth as a cover for not looking like a bum. This is the second time this happens to us in this area. They are like from eastern Europe i think
Old trick in Europe, they do this all over Europe, they are gypsies from east Europe, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary etc, they travel to all countries, they can get aggressive, best is to call police to check them up, for sure everything is illegal about them even the car stolen. I'm amazed they started to appear in US, is long way, i heard they get in like Mexicans because they look alike too .....I saw them in other US video they appear more and more, finally they choose other destination far from Europe, i hope they take all family members with them...there in desert somewhere
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS what person with a car like that does that? Where did they even get the money to get that car anyway? I can tell you this. That tells me the car was stolen.
5/29/23...Nice video. I moved from Atlanta, GA to Lake Co, Central FL when I retired 10 yrs ago. My rescue 🐕 has loved her big fenced yard in a nice HOA run 53 home 55+ community near The Villages.... Times have changed in the 10 yrs we've been here so HOPE we can continue to live here before too many border crossers "invade" + make this area less safe. I guess drugs are everywhere but I DON'T like the new FL pot dispenseries b/c they are a "draw" for crime/criminals/bad ppl with bad intentions + NO work ethics. NICE VIDEO...
I could live with that, LOL, Native here. We sure are not asking them to move here, they just drink our water and over fish the oceans and leave us with crap to clean up when they go back home cuz it aint like it is where they come from, Yep go back home works for me.
Your right , Jose , I had the exact same thing happen too me , this man was driving a nice car using his family as bait , and his little baby , I had too get in his face , about it , and when , I yelled at him about the insane nerve , of him using his family , his kids , that looked well fed , driving a nice car , and he stopped, and in his car and yelled out his car window , with his baby in his hands , yelling , I have a baby , as he was yelling , I even got , even more furious , because he felt he was with in his right, obviously where they come from , they are tought too think that Americans are stupid , infidel's; that are easy target's , they are finding out the hard was , when they come from , whatever country they come from , that people here in the United States are not as , stupid as the politicians, are in power running this country into the ground.Jesus saves sinners , even crazy people that use their kids as bait.
I swear that looks just like the same dude same nice car with a baby n wife trying to sell me gold jewelry similar story about gas in Ocala last summer

Florida is one of the worst places I've ever been to.
Good - stay where you are.
I left Florida due to the rise in rent costs and was telling a guy where I live now how bad the homeless and housing situation was and he said that couldn’t be true because we have DeSantis I was like bro your insane he could care less about working class people
Decent working class people aren't homeless.
@@overundersidewaysdown again, WRONG. Republicans are destroying this state.
That man got nicer clothes and watch and car than me sitting out there asking for money.
Homelessness is not “well hidden” in Gainesville. It’s evident downtown too. They can’t hide a problem that massive
Darnit Jose if i had known you were going to do a Gainsville drive through i would have asked you to do s drive bye of one of my most beloved musicians and artists Tom Petty homestead.
🤣✌️
Dude, ny tons of homeless.
Boston is crazy with homeless
i remember 2 years ago every time i go into a Walmart in Ocala and come out people asking me for 5 10 bucks for gas i just say get a job i seen them drive off later on if not they going around asking other people
Had a gypsy in my apartment building asking me for cash last month, then I seen him drive off in a new Rav4.
Homelessness and poverty have numerous causes and they all require a nuanced approach. Many of the homeless have mental health issues that need to be addressed by both society and the individual who has to want the help and cannot be forced.
Poverty in general has to be done with a nuanced approach and that includes the people living in poverty to take ownership of their problems so they can begin to fix them. Government assistance on its own will not help if people do not take ownership over tghe problems even if they did not cause them.
what do u mean overdose rates are mostly rural? is that overdose deaths, or something because more i would expect more overdoses in urban areas, do you have some breadcrums i can search for source
Wrong. The urban areas are unaffordable because no affordable housing is allowed. That pushes the poverty to the outskirts. People can’t make a living out there, or won’t work the jobs that illegals will take, so they go on public assistance. That is the REPUBLICAN way.
it is not rural it is the cities and I know that for a fact. I don't even stop for gas in the big towns anymore, I fuel up in the sticks and go back to the sticks. I will live in my own cardboard box before I would move to any of the cities here in Florida with a large population, It aint safe anymore. They have lost their frigging minds in the cities. ALL over the US.
Fl and Cali, both well on there way to becoming just a giant homeless camp.
FL is nowhere nearly as bad as CA or even Seattle.
Only in the big cities full of suckers and locos. The rest of us sing that song, Try that in a small town, LOL. Thank you Oliver Anthony !!
I just moved from San Diego to Tampa and it’s not remotely close. Florida may have horrible weather compared to California but homelessness is California’s thing here in Florida it is way less out of control.
0:59 From a self preservation tactical position don't tell someone you're armed. If you need to create distance and draw your weapon than do it but don't tell a potential bad guy that you are armed. At least that's what I think. *YMMV*
Listen I had been homeless before I had no place to live I lost everything and I'll tell you what when I pan handled I got off the street I got me a place to live and I have not been homeless since so please do not down the panhandlers or the homeless because one day you will be in that situation to God bless you❤
When they are sporting more gold baubles on the ears and necks it is hard to believe they really have a need, Pawn that shit first and then beg for more, Maybe then I will believe them, till l see that they are con artists.
Good documentary but you need to slow your panning way down...Pan the camera too fast and it makes it hard to watch because it is blurry...Otherwise it is excellent..
I was thinking of moving to Ocala I'm sad.
My best friend and his familly moved to Ocala 2-years ago (from Calif.) and love it...
DON'T DO IT! 😂
Ur proficiency is pretty good for only grade 12.
Grade 9
He’s driving a brand new Nissan Armada.
They assume they can play the “bad thing happened” and use their appearance of wealth as a cover for not looking like a bum. This is the second time this happens to us in this area. They are like from eastern Europe i think
Me in a Toyota 😐
Surprised it wasn’t a Mercedes
Old trick in Europe, they do this all over Europe, they are gypsies from east Europe, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary etc, they travel to all countries, they can get aggressive, best is to call police to check them up, for sure everything is illegal about them even the car stolen. I'm amazed they started to appear in US, is long way, i heard they get in like Mexicans because they look alike too .....I saw them in other US video they appear more and more, finally they choose other destination far from Europe, i hope they take all family members with them...there in desert somewhere
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS what person with a car like that does that? Where did they even get the money to get that car anyway? I can tell you this. That tells me the car was stolen.
Don’t have the money to put the gas in your can , hmm time to sell the car..
Anywhere you have a low property taxes you will have undesirables. People don’t understand that
Get ill, go bankrupt, You could be “UNDESIRABLE”.
Give him 40$ for that GOLD chain
Its fake not worth $4
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS well if the GOLD chain does not say 14k or 18k give him 40 bucks for his fake chain and his rims and tires lol 😆 😂 🤣
5/29/23...Nice video. I moved from Atlanta, GA to Lake Co, Central FL when I retired 10 yrs ago.
My rescue 🐕 has loved her big fenced yard in a nice HOA run 53 home 55+ community near The Villages....
Times have changed in the 10 yrs we've been here so HOPE we can continue to live here before too many border crossers "invade" + make this area less safe.
I guess drugs are everywhere but I DON'T like the new FL pot dispenseries b/c they are a "draw" for crime/criminals/bad ppl with bad intentions + NO work ethics.
NICE VIDEO...
I see your journey up into Georgia. Am thinking of going up to the area by the Air Force base to leave Florida. I look forward to your findings
Everybody got their Hustle I get out there on a corner with a drum set and a gas can and my dog and it's totally legal
I like the woods, but not a single hill, let alone any Mountain, I'd could not breath.
Yeah I have seen many times the entire family on the corner begging. Crazy
That guy asking for money at the gas station is what my Puerto Rican mom used to say about those dudes back in the day...eres un gypsy 🤣 🤣
i like how you threatened him with a gun at 0:56
For some reason, the people that are down here are from someplace else. Maybe you should take them out of Florida. In other words, leave.
I could live with that, LOL, Native here. We sure are not asking them to move here, they just drink our water and over fish the oceans and leave us with crap to clean up when they go back home cuz it aint like it is where they come from, Yep go back home works for me.
South Florida is more communal. North Florida is isolated.
Florida has a big homeless problem
Your right , Jose , I had the exact same thing happen too me , this man was driving a nice car using his family as bait , and his little baby , I had too get in his face , about it , and when , I yelled at him about the insane nerve , of him using his family , his kids , that looked well fed , driving a nice car , and he stopped, and in his car and yelled out his car window , with his baby in his hands , yelling , I have a baby , as he was yelling , I even got , even more furious , because he felt he was with in his right, obviously where they come from , they are tought too think that Americans are stupid , infidel's; that are easy target's , they are finding out the hard was , when they come from , whatever country they come from , that people here in the United States are not as , stupid as the politicians, are in power running this country into the ground.Jesus saves sinners , even crazy people that use their kids as bait.
HOMELESSNESS IS ALL OVER THE WORLD...NOT ONLY FLORIDA SONNY
They should sell thier tattoos for something to eat.
I swear that looks just like the same dude same nice car with a baby n wife trying to sell me gold jewelry similar story about gas in Ocala last summer
People go for that because help is every where, so no need to work or worry someone will take care of me
Why are you parked in a handicap spot fighting with Infinite owner? LOL!
Does anyone here know how Clearwater Florida is???
Nice. Specially around Dunedin. Has bad spots. Traffic along 19 is unbearable.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS and full of gayness
@@Floridawoodsbanshee But it is Trendy, apparently. Is there something in the water?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Agree. Dunedin is very nice. I used to get panic attacks on Hwy. 19. Definitely a death trap!
Worse that you will be happy to hear. I am from that area 40 years ago and it was getting crappy to live there then.
JUST TO HELP YOU OUT YOU SHOULD NAME YOUR CHANNEL BUSINESS TO THE FLORIDIAN HOMELESS N DRUG CHANNEL ,,,
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Desperation and lying
Everywhere is the same not just there
Um. Florida is FAR from as bad as Washington state and Washington DC and California or Kentucky or West Virginia. Pick a state...it's everywhere
I guess you don't understand the game being played right now.
Yes out of sight out of mind
Sad
They deleted my last message btw
Too honest
Population is getting too dense.
Eastern Europeans.
way to many people
Most came here homeless
Wrong. Anyone can become homeless at any time. That’s how the U.S. operates.
@@dahe8883 then get out of Florida I don't mind
So they put people on then
So.
Where ya gonna move too????
Go
Florida has always sucked.
No it has not but you do you and stay in the sucky place you are already in since it is so swell.
This TH-cam channel just goes around to different towns and makes Florida look bad. I wonder if he has his house in order lol ?
You don't go around telling strangers you have a CCW...no one in Florida needs it anymore,so anyone can carry a gun..This guy is an Indian con man,you should have taken his Lic plate number and report him,since a minor is involved..
I don’t care what the law says, I don’t show my gun unless its last resort. I live in America not in iraq.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS read it again, he did not say show your gun he said TELLING someone you have a concealed weapon , you are a fool to tell someone that in the first place dude.
Good that you think that way…don’t come back thanks
hear hear, agreed.
Make it illegal to live on the streets problem solved
