Brownsville, Brooklyn is the equivalent of The South Bronx….same buildings….same Bodegas….same train stations running on the top…same air of uncertainty. Dangerous!!!
@@rugerrell8871 It may look run-down, dirty and gritty, rough and rugged, but there’s also plenty of small businesses, shops and stores, and people carrying their groceries, everyone doing normal stuff
I drive around this area for work, it’s definitely not the best but thankfully I never felt like my life was in danger. I go into the NYCHA buildings and everything else, most ppl are fine as long as you mind your business, just keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings, I’m also a White guy in case that matters. Stay safe out there!
Its very dangerous in the morning its safer but nighttime it’s crazier. I know a woman that lived over there she was leaving for work at 6am her and her neighbor it was still dark out and she heard 40 shots . She said they were scared to walk to the train. Its no different then Chicago. Broad daylight shootings .

@@blossywossy100 I’m a Londoner and have an honest question- would I as a white person be in danger if I walked around Brownsville? What would be likely to happen? I grew up in a roughish neighbourhood in London but it’s absolutely nothing compared to the crime levels in the poorest districts of NYC. I’ve walked home blind drunk through the most “dangerous” places in London all my life and literally nothing happens because gangs aren’t remotely interested in people like me- they only target their opponents. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on how safe I would be in a place like Brownsville- day or night. Thanks.
@TodayFreedom I had to get a motel room one night, right across the street from Brownsville houses, which is a big project complex in Brownsville. I walked all through Brownsville and bedstuy around midnight on a Friday, then eventually called an uber to finish my trip to downtoen brooklyn. I did the same thing the next morning. I didn't have any issues, but I was certainly aware of my surroundings. It's DEFINITELY the hood. But there are lots of people that have to travel through there all the time. There are so many people in New York. I don't think you'd have an issue as long as you didn't act like an idiot. I've done some pretty abnoxious shit in different well known hoods all over the east coast from miami to boston and everywhere in between, and never had an issue. But I'm kinda racially ambiguous. I'm southern Italian. I'm kinda the only one who knows I'm officially white. I'm not sure how that would go for you. I think you'd be fine, but you'd feel a stark difference from London. It's not as rundown as philly or baltimore tho. Even there, they'd probably iust think you're looking for drugs. Brownsville is the way it is because nyc put A TON of big project complexes real close to each other in Brownsville. I think the majority of people that live there, live in the projects. It is possible tho, that someone who has an issue with white people and knows you're not from there because they know everyone there, might start shit with you. You also, might have someone try and fool you into a deal, then rob you. I've actually had that happen myself. I have a few different friends who have been robbed at gunpoint. I typically don't keep my wallet on me, and I don't go to atms in the hood. All my white friends got robbed after leaving atms in the hood. 🤣
East New York has been one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in NYC for a very long time. There is never a reason to go there which is kind of the reason it's so fucked up in the first place. Brownsville. Canarsie. East Harlem in the 130's. Jamaica Queens. South Bronx. Ocean Hill. In NY a general rule is: If there are check cashing places, liquor stores, bodegas, hardly any banks, then you're not in a good area. There are parts of Brooklyn with nice homes and relative safety, while other areas are full of drugs and as a full grown man I wouldn't even walk the street at any time of the day. These days a person should expect to get mugged or robbed anywhere. Even in a quiet small town. If you visit NYC, you should always be aware of your surroundings, avoid unsafe areas especially during off hours, don't display money or jewelry, common sense goes a long way.
@@YesIamMichelleC Canarsie is wild, I had to protect a young lady walking by herself at night from an older creep following behind her. She was so into her music and destination; she didn’t know she was being followed. I asked that weirdo what the duck are you doing and he disappeared into the closest corner. This summer I had on a black bandana as a mask, and another weirdo with a chick by his side, asked me about some gang shit, pressing me over a damn bandana and told me don’t wear it out there anymore... 🤣🤣🤣 Canarsie ain’t all good either.
I used to work in Brownsville and there were times I used to travel at night through Brownsville and East New York. These neighborhoods are not safe but I never had a problem. As long as you mind your own business, stay out of trouble, be nice to other people and don't look for or take part in a confrontation, you won't have any problems. Also, some of these areas are becoming gentrified, parts of Brownsville, Crown Heights, Bed Stuy and Fort Greene. Obviously, Brownsville still has a long way to go to become as safe as let's say Fort Greene or Bushwick, since Brownsville is still known for its high crime rate, unemployment, poverty and homelessness, however, I find Brownsville for its arts, entertainment, reconstruction/building renovations, and the location (Brownsville is surprisingly a very green neighborhood that has lots of parks), to be promising.
That's the word for any place you go! I have lived in Brownsville practically all my childhood! And was able to move through every area up and down Rockaway Ave! And never any problem!
@@BigMonDem0821 That's great! When I worked in Brownsville, I found people to be surprisingly very nice, chill and laid back. They have a lot of culture, good food and great taste in music. You will always find nasty people no matter where you go, but most people are nice rather than mean. Brownsville is no exception. And as you said, that's anywhere you go. I wouldn't want to live in Brownsville because this is not my jam, I prefer the vibrant city nightlife similar to that of Greenpoint and East Village, and Brownsville still has a long way to go in terms of building restaurants, shops, bars, nightclubs, gyms, community centers, movie theaters, concert halls, etc, but visiting Brownsville, I am totally cool with that. I don't go to Brownsville anymore because of my busy work schedule.
Nah, you can mind your business here and still get got over nothing,great for you that nothing has happened, but when you have to worry about people you love walk out the door and will make it back by the end of the day
@@andremiller9919 I agree with you, cause when I worked in the Bronx (Mott Haven) for a few weeks, on my way home from Mott Haven, I was cursed at and almost got brutally beaten because I accidentally touched somebody with my bag, and they made a huge fuss about it and threatened to beat me up if I don't get out of the train, even after I apologized since it was an accident as the train was very crowded, and the wonderful New Yorkers, no one wanted to help me even after the lady who I accidentally hit with my bag threatened me. Nasty people. That's why I avoid working or going to the Bronx altogether. And the cops said they couldn't press charges since I wasn't physically hurt, thank God. They were nice and understanding when I complained but they said that no matter what a person tells me, it's legal as long as I am not physically assaulted, but they get threatened there by locals every day and they told me that it's normal for them in that area. I don't feel safe going there. I almost got hit by a car there too because a driver made an illegal U turn and crossed the sidewalk while listening to loud music, I am not kidding. Cops told me to avoid that area like a plague.
I don't get how people can sleep in a noisy city. If it's not people opening and closing doors, its the train. If it's not a train, it's a kid being stupid. If it's not a kid being stupid, it's sirens. If it's not sirens, it's gunshots. That's how it is in some other cities. I can not sleep in Congress Heights in DC. Too much people & lots of shooting going on. Forgot to mention the crime. I've been robbed in broad daylight on my own block.
If your born there that’s what you know… that’s with everything in life not that hard to understand I’m from there and moved to Connecticut and couldn’t sleep was to quiet
@ 2:55 after he drove under the L train he crossed into East New York Brooklyn for a few blocks (Another Dangerous Area)... The video cuts back to Brownsville @ 3:16.
My old neighborhood I see nothing has changed. I definitely don’t miss it had some fun times tho but New York as a whole is definitely changing for the worst glade I got out when I did. Be safe out there Brownsville is no joke 💪🏼💪🏼
@@julienbee3467 of course it is most things that has been happening recently has been done to innocent bystanders. You have to always be aware of your surroundings day or night. I was never out on the streets nor getting in trouble went to work everyday I was just fortunate nothing bad happened

On man I miss Brooklyn, I’m from NJ but had cousins in Brownsville on Rockaway Ave and also Linden Blvd!!! So much fun in the 80’s hearing all of the loud hip hop music and the rap battles in the projects!!!
@@misterclownface TH-cam search bar: “Brownsville Brooklyn Shootings”. You’re misinformed & completely out of touch on a neighborhood you never been to & know nothing about. Brownsville literally has the highest crime rate in NYC.
Actually those streets are way safer and the slum and tenements and burned out buildings of the 70s and 80s are all gone. It's a whole new looking area compared to when. Mike Tyson grew up.
I think I went here by accident once back in the later 00's. I was staying in a motel at 39th and 4th and forgot to change subway lines and realised that something was up when I became the only white person on the train and people were looking at me like I was nuts. I got off at one of the elevated stations like the one in this video and asked the woman at the ticket booth and she told me that I should have changed lines fourteen stops ago and to go back up and go fourteen stops back the way I came and under no circumstances to leave the station and I took her advice. Only other city I had that was DC, asked another kind black lady for directions back to my hotel at a bus stop and she told me to take a taxi which was waiting at the lights and I said I was ok to walk and she replied that she lived there and would not walk that route and I took her advice and got the taxi. I miss USA, haven't visited in fourteen years. I enjoy your videos, Charlie, keep up the good work.
Man this is just my bike ride home lol you were like two blocks from my building at one point. I’ve lived in Brownsville all my life so when I hear how dangerous the neighborhood is most of the time I’m like “ you mean Mother Gaston is dangerous, the rest of Brownsville isnt really dangerous, just unsafe”.
If you on a bike dressed in all black, aint no one gon bother you. Problem is my bike is rather expensive lookin. Nice lights and everything. Also i mostly ride at night
I live right over there in van dyke and it's actually not that bad . Plenty times I've come from the club with no problem or late at night from work or w.e.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO COME OUT HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF I TRIPLE DARE YOU AND TALK THAT SHIT! I BET YOU WONT MAKE IT BACK HOME. I PROMISE YOU WONT. AND THIS AINT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE 80S/90S IT WAS 1000X WORSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Not sure why they always say Brownsville East NY so dangerous. Not as bad as other cities outside of NY. Don't get me wrong..can be a rough neighborhood but I dont think it's as bad as some people think
One thing that always stands out on CharlieBoi313's videos is the amount of trash on the streets and sidewalks he captures on film. Although there was quite a bit of garbage in this video, there wasn't those huge volumes of, "straight outta Mogadishu" some of his other videos have....
Charlie one of these days you should do some more northwest hoods like Yakima WA, Toppenish WA, Sunnyside WA, Aberdeen WA, Lakewood WA, SeaTac WA, Gresham OR, and Ontario OR You should also revisit Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland and drive around their actual worst areas for a better look into the real shit of the NW
@@evanharkey7100 yeah, all Yakima county is like that, especially Toppenish and Sunnyside, they are actual ganglands. Aberdeen also got a lot Sureños 13 and nazi/peckerwood gangs heavily feuding with each other. WA got some dirt on it that no one realizes
@@aaronconstantine1292 nah cause holly park and rainier vista aren't really ghetto. yeah they're housing projects but they're all super redeveloped into nice ass houses and if anyone outside of Seattle saw either of them without knowing any better they'd assume it was a typical suburbia. He should really go through Chinatown and Pioneer Square and 3rd Ave Downtown for the real grimey shit but if he just wants the hood then he should do Rainier Beach, Brighton, Hillman City, Mt. Baker on Rainier Ave, and Aurora Ave in Northgate/Bitter Lake
Brownsville is bigger than what you just show. You forgot Union Street, Howard Ave, Sutter Ave, Tapscott, Sally's, Amboy, the entire Pitkin Ave district, and the pool area.
I’m from the south side of Chicago. I live in Brooklyn now. I’ve been in the “roughest” hoods in NYC and didn’t feel the same way I feel when I’m in Chicago. I feel relatively safe in NY compared to Chicago. I’m not ignorant to the fact that NYC is much safer now. The only encounter that really made me nervous was being stopped and frisked randomly by NYPD on a dark block at 1am in Bed Stuy when I first moved here 8 years ago.
I'm from brooklyn and lived in chicago for 4 years and definitely felt way more unsafe in chi. Even in the hood in ny you get foot traffic, local businesses, and way less violent crime. In Chicago you get stretches of empty dark places with slow moving cars with tinted windows. Not to mention hearing gun shots and the occasional shooting less that a block away.
@@Southpaw128 Also more gangways, alleys, and a handful of abandoned buildings on every block in the hood in Chi. It can go from completely quiet and desolate to shit popping off out of nowhere. Your description summed it up accurately 💯
Feeling safe in nyc is cool but that's the crazy shit about it. You can be in areas where you feel safe and boom out of nowhere you got little kids getting hit by random bullets. In NY even in the safest neighborhood mfs will pop off on some dumbshit. But trust me the hoods he showed on this video. You walk alone at night and you take the wrong turn and and up in some projects where you're not known forget about it. You might not get killed but you will definitely feel the aura of just being watched and potentially robbed or set up. But chicago with those empty streets and Allys and all that yeah that's a diff level.
@@piiikabooicu How you described it is how I felt in Chicago. A lot of areas feel safe on the surface but would pop off. Not the englewoods or lawndales, those are obvious but parts of rogers park, humbolt park, etc you'll think you're in a safe middle class neighborhood and then a random persons car will get lit up or random drive bys. You have to keep your head on a swivel in chicago anywhere you go. In brooklyn too I guess but I dont have that pressure on my chest when I walk through brooklyn. Maybe just cause im from here.
@@piiikabooicu I keep my head on a swivel just about everywhere I go. That’s how Chicago trained me. I know shit ain’t sweet in NY. Please believe. I’ve walked thru Brownsville/East NY after dark and I was fully aware of where I was at. I stayed in the projects in Canarsie for a little bit and I still felt way safer than being in the roughest hoods in Chi. And I’m not trying to glorify or even compare who has the toughest hoods. It really hurts my heart to see what’s happening in my home city. I just knew I had to get the fuck up out of there. I have a seed now, and I couldn’t imagine trying to raise him there. That’s one of the main reasons why I left. I knew I didn’t want to start a family there.
Brownsville is a lot safer than it used to be but anytime I think of da ville I think of " Brownsville... niggaz do kill .. tuck ya shines in my niggaz do steal... I'm from rock.....away... where niggaz who got beef ... even if dat ass live a block away.... I'm from Blake and powellll.... the same niggaz that robbed you see you next day and scream HOW YOU???!!! BROWNSVILLE KILLA KILLA VILLE BROOKLYN SHIT FORREAL I SPELL IT OUT LIKE...." lol
Who told u that lol I’m in my late 30s been in the streets since 10 moved away came back to deal with family an this shit burnt out its shit that happen that don’t hit the news i personally kno what’s goin on my nephew’s outside an i see lil mfs doin drive byes and shit with 30s and 50 round drums u just gotta move tactic and mind ya business or keep a pole if u kno u kno
@@rugerrell8871 dude believe me I'm older than you I'm in my mid to late 40s and even though social media was non existent brooklyn as a whole was way worst than it is now and you know the leaders in damn near all crime categories came from the 75th and 73rd the Brownsville and east New York area drove most of the crime stats back in the early to mid 90s... nyc was off the fuckin hook back then especially brooklyn... I know social media and the way we can witness shit makes it seem worst than it used to be .. Brownsville will always have a name but with gentrification trying to move in its only a matter of time just like the Bronx
@@lifeisagambletv i digg what u saying but i been out side since the corny blood an crip shit popped off and u get what i mean tho most of my ppls ya age or older i grew up around real Og’s

I live in Bushwick and today I almost got stab doing delivery in Brownsville. People hate for no reason. No education. Nothing. Just people angry with the world cursing and acting aggressive all the time. Don't go there.
@@learner5090 I love that song from Brooklyn dodgers crazy ass crooklyn kids represent the Brooklyn all night I’m from the Midwest and I love the hell out of New York culture but you definitely gotta watch yo back because then cats that’s gangbanging is attacking random innocent people
I heard this was where ActionKid was from. That's why no one messed with him and he has never been mugged in his many hours of walking videos. He was just like the "nigga" from down the street to them.
That's the average including the good areas in a very large city. That means nothing if you're in Brownsville at night. Brownsville's crime rate is very high.

If your born there that’s what you know… that’s with everything in life not that hard to understand I’m from there and moved to Connecticut and couldn’t sleep was to quiet
@@sherrisherlockholmes9602 I don't think I have ever heard of "I can't sleep here, too quiet" in my life.
I'm joked 💀
@ 2:55 after he drove under the L train he crossed into East New York Brooklyn for a few blocks (Another Dangerous Area)... The video cuts back to Brownsville @ 3:16.
They neck in neck in dangerous category
I move to BROOKLYN i in. 1976 at age 17 an I move to PITKING AVE and Wiona ave and back then was not too bad but in the mid 80 s and 90 got worse.
I use to walk through those desserted blocks late at night to go home from the L train on sutter ave .. Lookin back now I was buggin
If I had to walk 2 blocks to get to the grocery store at that time of night, I think I'd call a taxi.
My old neighborhood I see nothing has changed. I definitely don’t miss it had some fun times tho but New York as a whole is definitely changing for the worst glade I got out when I did. Be safe out there Brownsville is no joke 💪🏼💪🏼
Is it dangerous even if you don't search for trouble ?
@@julienbee3467 Absolutely
@@julienbee3467 of course it is most things that has been happening recently has been done to innocent bystanders. You have to always be aware of your surroundings day or night. I was never out on the streets nor getting in trouble went to work everyday I was just fortunate nothing bad happened
Where you at now
@@guiltyuntilproveninnocent. Danger is my middle name. In all honesty I'd only be nervous of cops they are the real criminals.
NYC slums always look 100% better than those in Philly, Chicago, Baltimore etc.
That's because they cleaned them up. It was a wasteland in the 70s and 80s
Why are we comparing poverty you people are
so weird we’re having a competition about which city is the shittiest?
@@unrulytdott2824 all he said is New York hoods look nicer. Get your panties out of a bunch.
New york South Bronx in the 80s no hood never looked worst than that
Real talk....you should do a video on Coney island and Bed-Sty
New York gets too much attention he needs go some place else moe
@@CharlotteDrillsAndBeefs jus what type of attention because I don't see it as you say fam...shine light on ALL the dark. It's needed to show people that don't know exactly what we go thru here. All his hood videos help inform the world of our suffering.

a hail from Brazil that accompanies your channel always 🇧🇷
To see raw footage of one of the most talked about American cities… 😍😍
Compared to your other videos, looks like this place is fine. You still can see a lot or small businesses open.
That's one thing about Brownsville it has a lot of businesses, compare to other cities like Baltimore &Detroit within it's urban area
Businesses? You mean all the chicken spots and Deli stores🤣🤣 there ain't no fucking businesses that are worth a shit out here.
@@piiikabooicu Pitkin ave. Is a whole shopping area .. hair salons ,barber shops ,nail salons
@@piiikabooicu still better than nothing but overgrown lots and woodland areas
Luv my city Brooklyn stand up
Charlie you should’ve stopped and got you one of those Brooklyn style pizzas 😅
I stayed in Brownsville for a weekend for an event. And it’s the real deal. Cops on even corner during the night on foot patrol
One of the last neighborhoods in brooklyn that haven’t been invaded by pilgrims
Oh its INVADED ALL RIGHT.......VIDEO SARATOGA, HOWARD, PARK PLACE, PROSPECT PLACE, ST MARKS, BERGEN........AS USUAL THE FORGOTTEN AREAS OF BROWNSVILLE🧐🧐🧐
Amen
@@blackmm623 I live up the hill and trust me they are here lol
Love and thoroughly enjoy your videos!! Keep up the awesome work 👍
On man I miss Brooklyn, I’m from NJ but had cousins in Brownsville on Rockaway Ave and also Linden Blvd!!! So much fun in the 80’s hearing all of the loud hip hop music and the rap battles in the projects!!!
This is my hometown … thank you but in eyes it will never be dangerous
Why are all kcalB saerA suoregnaD?
@@CreatorOfWhites Ew lla wonk yhw!
Doesn't look dangerous at all. It's just clickbate.
@@misterclownface
TH-cam search bar: “Brownsville Brooklyn Shootings”. You’re misinformed & completely out of touch on a neighborhood you never been to & know nothing about. Brownsville literally has the highest crime rate in NYC.
@@CreatorOfWhitestaht ton eurt!
Can't wait to see another Baltimore clip here soon enough. You should tour the Cherry Hill /Brooklyn area of Baltimore next time you visit
Being born and raised in East New York I can honestly say Brownsville is literally no man’s land dangerous during the day and night
With a lil cameo by ENY lol Once you cross Van Sinderen you in the East! Dope video!
Seen alot of your vids. What was the craziest city you been too so far?
Who's the cute girl at 2:33 💘 ? I enjoy watching your videos because it's probably the only way I'll ever get see these cities in real time.
My childhood neighborhood. Sutter Ave and Rockaway. 🗽💪🏾🙏🏾
Brooklyn Go Hard Never Ran Never Will
Even in dangerous cities, life is mostly normal.
Do oceanhill browsnville/bedstuy broadway junction, fulton ave and broadway ave
Back in the day Harry's and Simon's on Belmont Ave is where Brownsville and East New York would get all the fly gear!
Home of Mike Tyson
Came here after watching him talk about it.
@@TLllllll so its dangerous?
if i was living there i would drive pass every stop sign to get the hell out of there
Actually those streets are way safer and the slum and tenements and burned out buildings of the 70s and 80s are all gone. It's a whole new looking area compared to when. Mike Tyson grew up.
I think I went here by accident once back in the later 00's. I was staying in a motel at 39th and 4th and forgot to change subway lines and realised that something was up when I became the only white person on the train and people were looking at me like I was nuts. I got off at one of the elevated stations like the one in this video and asked the woman at the ticket booth and she told me that I should have changed lines fourteen stops ago and to go back up and go fourteen stops back the way I came and under no circumstances to leave the station and I took her advice. Only other city I had that was DC, asked another kind black lady for directions back to my hotel at a bus stop and she told me to take a taxi which was waiting at the lights and I said I was ok to walk and she replied that she lived there and would not walk that route and I took her advice and got the taxi. I miss USA, haven't visited in fourteen years. I enjoy your videos, Charlie, keep up the good work.
You should come back and visit some republican areas. Your experience will be much different and much more enjoyable.
@@06TLforlife republicans?
39th and 4th ain’t Brownsville
@@Grundig305 I never said that it was. Read my comment again.
@@06TLforlife West Virginia metheads? Wtf is a Republican area?
Surprised we didn't see a car jacking or a drive-by? It's like nobody has to get up early for work in the morning or something?
First crazy because i was born in Flatbush but then i moved to Brownsville for a minute before i moved to Yonkers then high ridge then fordham
@Clayton Phillips yea i recently relocated to Georgia😂😂
@Clayton Phillips east and i got another house in griffin
@Clayton Phillips thanks
Man this is just my bike ride home lol you were like two blocks from my building at one point. I’ve lived in Brownsville all my life so when I hear how dangerous the neighborhood is most of the time I’m like “ you mean Mother Gaston is dangerous, the rest of Brownsville isnt really dangerous, just unsafe”.
If you on a bike dressed in all black, aint no one gon bother you. Problem is my bike is rather expensive lookin. Nice lights and everything. Also i mostly ride at night
I lived by Livonia Ave
Nah wrd u mean mother Gaston and Blake?😂
I live right over there in van dyke and it's actually not that bad . Plenty times I've come from the club with no problem or late at night from work or w.e.
That's because you haven't run into me, sweetie
Nah j/k... take care ✌️
BABE CAN ITAKE U OUT ON ADATE WIT ME PRETTY PLEASE MY GODDESS❤💋❤💋👅💋❤💗👅👅👅❤❤💗

Wow !!! Very beautiful neighborhood!!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO COME OUT HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF I TRIPLE DARE YOU AND TALK THAT SHIT! I BET YOU WONT MAKE IT BACK HOME. I PROMISE YOU WONT. AND THIS AINT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE 80S/90S IT WAS 1000X WORSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

NGL if this is considered dangerous, speaks volumes to how much NYC has improved
Not sure why they always say Brownsville East NY so dangerous. Not as bad as other cities outside of NY. Don't get me wrong..can be a rough neighborhood but I dont think it's as bad as some people think
Always show the streets 💯 names in readable manner
Thanks.
shout out to my barber show right there on the corner when the video starts! lol,
God bless the hood keep everyone safe Lord Jesus
Niggah welcome to Brooklyn. Home of my favorite rappers. M.O.P. Being one of my favorite groups. Next stop Queens and Harlem.
Remind me of here up north in the chi…Rogers park, Uptown, The Pole
One thing that always stands out on CharlieBoi313's videos is the amount of trash on the streets and sidewalks he captures on film. Although there was quite a bit of garbage in this video, there wasn't those huge volumes of, "straight outta Mogadishu" some of his other videos have....
Streets sweeper come through
If the family dollar store and the nail salon was open bro it wasn’t that late.
❤💋❤💋
Charlie one of these days you should do some more northwest hoods like Yakima WA, Toppenish WA, Sunnyside WA, Aberdeen WA, Lakewood WA, SeaTac WA, Gresham OR, and Ontario OR
You should also revisit Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland and drive around their actual worst areas for a better look into the real shit of the NW
Yakima definitely gets active for a small town its size...Nortenos and Surenos are DEEP out there and at war with each other
@@evanharkey7100 yeah, all Yakima county is like that, especially Toppenish and Sunnyside, they are actual ganglands. Aberdeen also got a lot Sureños 13 and nazi/peckerwood gangs heavily feuding with each other. WA got some dirt on it that no one realizes
Ya Seattle where I'm from too, he should come to Holly Park or Rainier vista.
@@aaronconstantine1292 nah cause holly park and rainier vista aren't really ghetto. yeah they're housing projects but they're all super redeveloped into nice ass houses and if anyone outside of Seattle saw either of them without knowing any better they'd assume it was a typical suburbia. He should really go through Chinatown and Pioneer Square and 3rd Ave Downtown for the real grimey shit but if he just wants the hood then he should do Rainier Beach, Brighton, Hillman City, Mt. Baker on Rainier Ave, and Aurora Ave in Northgate/Bitter Lake
@@aaronconstantine1292 Holly park and Rainier Vista are all gentrified now lol but ya shit still goes down over there
I thought that the Upper Westside was sketchy this looks more dangerous
Brownsville is bigger than what you just show. You forgot Union Street, Howard Ave, Sutter Ave, Tapscott, Sally's, Amboy, the entire Pitkin Ave district, and the pool area.
I’m from the south side of Chicago. I live in Brooklyn now. I’ve been in the “roughest” hoods in NYC and didn’t feel the same way I feel when I’m in Chicago. I feel relatively safe in NY compared to Chicago. I’m not ignorant to the fact that NYC is much safer now. The only encounter that really made me nervous was being stopped and frisked randomly by NYPD on a dark block at 1am in Bed Stuy when I first moved here 8 years ago.
I'm from brooklyn and lived in chicago for 4 years and definitely felt way more unsafe in chi. Even in the hood in ny you get foot traffic, local businesses, and way less violent crime. In Chicago you get stretches of empty dark places with slow moving cars with tinted windows. Not to mention hearing gun shots and the occasional shooting less that a block away.
@@Southpaw128 Also more gangways, alleys, and a handful of abandoned buildings on every block in the hood in Chi. It can go from completely quiet and desolate to shit popping off out of nowhere. Your description summed it up accurately 💯
Feeling safe in nyc is cool but that's the crazy shit about it. You can be in areas where you feel safe and boom out of nowhere you got little kids getting hit by random bullets. In NY even in the safest neighborhood mfs will pop off on some dumbshit. But trust me the hoods he showed on this video. You walk alone at night and you take the wrong turn and and up in some projects where you're not known forget about it. You might not get killed but you will definitely feel the aura of just being watched and potentially robbed or set up. But chicago with those empty streets and Allys and all that yeah that's a diff level.
@@piiikabooicu How you described it is how I felt in Chicago. A lot of areas feel safe on the surface but would pop off. Not the englewoods or lawndales, those are obvious but parts of rogers park, humbolt park, etc you'll think you're in a safe middle class neighborhood and then a random persons car will get lit up or random drive bys. You have to keep your head on a swivel in chicago anywhere you go. In brooklyn too I guess but I dont have that pressure on my chest when I walk through brooklyn. Maybe just cause im from here.
@@piiikabooicu I keep my head on a swivel just about everywhere I go. That’s how Chicago trained me. I know shit ain’t sweet in NY. Please believe. I’ve walked thru Brownsville/East NY after dark and I was fully aware of where I was at. I stayed in the projects in Canarsie for a little bit and I still felt way safer than being in the roughest hoods in Chi. And I’m not trying to glorify or even compare who has the toughest hoods. It really hurts my heart to see what’s happening in my home city. I just knew I had to get the fuck up out of there. I have a seed now, and I couldn’t imagine trying to raise him there. That’s one of the main reasons why I left. I knew I didn’t want to start a family there.
Brownsville, Brooklyn looks like South-side of Chicago.
That’s my buy Damon talking on the first corner. Much love!
IS THAT THE WEED SPOT...YUPPPP...y'all keep going in circles 🤣💯
Fake, this is clearly a GTA4 playthrough.
Brownsville is a lot safer than it used to be but anytime I think of da ville I think of " Brownsville... niggaz do kill .. tuck ya shines in my niggaz do steal... I'm from rock.....away... where niggaz who got beef ... even if dat ass live a block away.... I'm from Blake and powellll.... the same niggaz that robbed you see you next day and scream HOW YOU???!!!

@@rugerrell8871 dude believe me I'm older than you I'm in my mid to late 40s and even though social media was non existent brooklyn as a whole was way worst than it is now and you know the leaders in damn near all crime categories came from the 75th and 73rd the Brownsville and east New York area drove most of the crime stats back in the early to mid 90s... nyc was off the fuckin hook back then especially brooklyn... I know social media and the way we can witness shit makes it seem worst than it used to be .. Brownsville will always have a name but with gentrification trying to move in its only a matter of time just like the Bronx

Is this neighbourhood a “might get robbed” place or a “definitely get robbed” place?
Definitely
If you look scary or something you might. If your a woman it’s a low chance but still a chance.
Only definite in life is DEATH.........Anything is possible........PRAY......BE AWARE......STAY AWARE.....MIND YOUR BUSINESS....ENJOY LIFE💜💜💜💜
Brooklyn we go Hard we go hard
Play video of gun shots in ur speakers real loud with the windows down and see people’s reactions
Mfs fuck around and start booming at the v thinking it’s oops u burnt this my hood an most of these lil mfs b having 30s and b on 30s if u kno u kno
Easy way to get shot
Dude's "BITCH!" at :28 had me laughing. That's one unhappy customer.
Bo always in these traps love it
If I was white....and walked those streets...would I be safe?
Niggaz might press u but u should be chilling since your white the police might get their quicker

Nice cars in the hood, lots of wealth there.

I heard this was where ActionKid was from. That's why no one messed with him and he has never been mugged in his many hours of walking videos. He was just like the "nigga" from down the street to them.

U know this is so ridiculous, what danger is it there to see ? It's no more than Detroit Chicago or Atlanta
Instead of driving....next time walk through the neighborhoods at night
no
I love my city , we New York are the safest city in the USA peace ❤
That's the average including the good areas in a very large city. That means nothing if you're in Brownsville at night. Brownsville's crime rate is very high.
