- Central Santa Ana, California, is considered one of the hardest places to live in the United States. This is the story of the people who call Santa Ana their home, and the non-profit organization Kidworks, which is devoted to nurturing the youth of Santa Ana.

I used to live in LA for 17 years, I then moved to Compton for 1 year. And now I'm currently living in Santa Ana, I love this city! 100 Xs better than the other cities I lived in before!
I'm a Santa Ana,CA native rises on 3rd street . I'm 57 years old I am so thankful my mom rises us there . Living in Santa Ana was both good and bad I lost a lot of friends through drugs and gang violence. And I'm talking back in the 1970's !!!! Graduated from Santa Ana High . I don't live in Santana anymore but I do have family there .... I do and don't miss my city ..why ? Cuz the more things change the more they stay the same or Worse!!! I appreciate and applaud those that work so hard to keep the peace and help La Raza in Santana !!! God bless you!! 🙏
Santa Ana for life, from waving at Cheerios with his flashlight on the corner to cruising Bristol on Easter Sunday or just chilling at Centennial Park on 4th of July and watching the fireworks.....what can I say when I think of home it think of Santa Ana!
Lol, I remember Cheerios.
This is exactly how Santa Ana is and this describes my childhood. I think that it doesn't seem depressing to live here because im so used to it and ive put up with the troubles and i have just made the best of it. Even though it was tough here, its made me a better person, I think.
Santa Ana good food good people great weather I used to love there like 15 years ago and I still miss it since then
I love Santa Ana. Beautiful city
santa ana !! I live in san fran now but I just to live here in santa ana, back in the 90s love it , good memories!!!!
Ah this takes me back, and these kids remind me of my childhood. I went to school in Santa Ana for a while
And the kids in the video are around my age now, early 20s
wow... i am 21 years of age, i joined the army to escape, i deployed to afghanistan, left my family and friends behind, got station in germany and did not remember the pain of growing up in that city untill i saw this video. thank you for posting this because i realize that i can still do more than just settle in the military.
Damn the memories of my broken city
I love my town of Santa Ana Ca. I miss my gente.
I live in mesa Arizona now for almost a year. I moved here from Santa Ana and i miss it dearly. I work in a group home over here and i love it but i hope to return to Santa Ana and help my old community there.
Santa Ana, a beautiful yet broken city. God bless everyone there. The city needs a solution for the poverty issue. Nobody should be living this lifestyle. Drugs, gangs, violence that's now way to live.
Im santa ana as well too. Im glad the city is improving slowly. Santa Ana Blvd here.
Originally from Garden Grove until I finished my elementary Education but proud to call Santana my home town. I think part of this is filmed in Minnie St. LPS. I recognize it, and enjoyed driving thru SA OCcasionally.
I lived in Santa Ana before moving to Colorado and I've seen change just before I left, around the neighborhood I grew up in just blocks from El Salvador park.
If it wasn’t for kid works I wouldn’t be alive right now thank you for saving me
My city my town Santa Ana Ca. Los Grandes taqueria. I love my city
Back in the day Bristol st crusing
I live in Santana and I'm proud to be here. You can say its hard to live here but is it stopping us? NO. I can proudly say us Mexicans will be the last ones begging for money. Selling oranges? yes! but at least we're working hard for our money, to make it. In my point of view there's people out there worse. And that's why I can say I'm proud to be from Santa Ana. Even more proud that my father came from mexico worked in the fields with his father and now owns his own house with a nice paying career where he can retire in a couple of years. Just because bad things happen somewhere doesn't make it a bad place. SA ALL DAY!!!
I was born and raised in Santa Ana currently live in Mexico but man seeing this video has defiantly brought back many memories.
Downtown Santa Ana was voted Best Downtown 2012 by OC Weekly's readers poll! We are in the lead again for 2013! Downtown rocks! East End and the Artist Village! I live in a great neighborhood north of 17th and I love my house and love my neighborhood. So much has changed! For the better!!
Downtown Santa Ana is a great place to hang out. Gypse Den, Chapter One, and many other places.
Santa Ana is not that bad. I have been living in Santa Ana for 19 years. This is dramatized.
Agreed. We've been in Santa Ana for 15 years now. Have a business close to downtown and we take walks downtown every evening. Never felt threatened and have always enjoyed it here.
This video touched me so much because it's true. There is a few areas in Santa Ana that still hasn't gotten any better and how there are two to three family's living together because you cant make ends meet. But we gotta do what we gotta do to keep moving foward.
True not all areas in Santa Ana are bad, the point is that there are some really bad areas in Santa Ana, other cities in O.C Dont have bad areas. Instead of being satisfied with not all areas being bad, lets make an effort to improve the ones that are and not be satisfied with what we currently have.
I know I'm 8 years late but thank you for writing this. People shouldn't be complacent with gang violence and rampant drug dealing
There are videos posted that are from 2012 of Santa Ana. The city is beautiful.
Honestly everyone is eligible for school now, there is fafsa, scholarships and the dream act, cmon latinos let's step it up! let's give back to our parents. If you have to work go part time, going to school will ultimately pay more.
I WAS BORN IN GARDEN GROVE HOSPITAL AND RAISE IN THOSE STREETS OF TOWNSEND I WENT TO LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SECOND BUT MONTA VISTA FIRST BUT GOT KICK OUT CAUSE I WAS WILD IT WILL AND ALWAYS BE MY HOME
damn this shit brings back memories
i love my home town SANTA ANA
So true man...even the roads in santa ana (in general) look a lot better than most in LA
mimimi cry me a river. I used to live in sa right in the heart of it. off main. yes it's not a nice city to live in but Jesus Christ give me a break. there is millions of places that I rather stay away from in this world than Santa Ana. people cry too much these days.
This Video Makes Santa Ana look "SO" Hard to live in , Santa Ana Rifa
Good movie :')
its sad to live here, to see how corrupt it is and then i turn to see the related stuff. it makes me ashamed to say how much i love this place.
I use to live in Townsend in the 80's a lot of black and hispanic my dad was Grinch from CT
fuck u u much love....im Gadget from Townsend street...
I knew el viejo food truck seller he’s cool as fuck
Townsend was damm near all black in the 70s crazy how shit change
Great Video!
I'll always love where I come from, Hell I was bron here! But times are rough, and it's nice to see an "Invisable" part of Orange County being thrown into the light.
"orange sky" by alexi murdoch. glad you liked the video!
I'm sorry but i call BULLSHIT! Santa Ana is NOT the toughest city to live in!! I have seen far worse ghettos all over LA...Let's not forget the ghettos of New York...Chicago...Detroit...ect
Mr. Synths how would you know?you lived here?!im a 6th generation living in the city...every city has its times and ghetto
Mr.Synths they are not saying it's the toughest as in "Craziest"in the Us,they are saying if u average the cost of living,average education,economics ot the people that live there it's tough to like live there pay rent and survive,
I've lived in Santa Ana all my life and it aint that bad. The sections you guys focused on is the ghetto. There is more to Santa Ana than this.
True. That has to do a lot with how they are raised and their culture in general. Asian parents tend to be very strict and put a huge emphasis in family honor. While mexican parents in Santa Ana (not all) are like: "Your failing math class son? --- Okay, remind me to sign you up for summer school?"
Try walking around Compton at night and you'll see just how much more dangerous it is there compared to SA...The struggle is hard not just in SA sorry
@@xolotltownsend7058 for reaaaaaal
I grew up there but had to move to Oregon cause of some bullshit. Been in Oregon 10-11 years . I want to go back there omg.
what kind of bullshit
+audi G 🐀🐀😂😂😂😂
chill you make it look like if its bad,i go to segerstrom and theres alot of graduates
The ghettos of Detroit,Chicago,Houston,Baton Rouge,San Antonio make this place look like a paradise...defiantly not one of the hardest places to live.
In terms of crime, you are correct. However, the focal point is the cost of living. The cost of living in the places you mentioned, pales compare to what it is in Santa Ana, CA. This is why it is one of the most densely populated city in the entire country. With it, obviously like any other major/densely populated city, comes crime, gangs, etc..
Yea southern California's cities are organized....other cities outside of California arent as organized like us thats why...you guys just shoot innocent people,kids,mothers,elderly people...Rob people as well..you rob someone here and they find out who you robbed in the outs and you are dealt with
Santa ana is sure no paradise I stay in the city of Compton and it's active out here in L.A.
south central la makes Texas and new York weak
Wow! This video is really depressing and does not represent Santa Ana. There are some very bad areas but most cities with the population size and the high percentage of minorities living legally or illegally will have bad areas.
something is wrong with us mexicans...Look at asians that come here illegally end up owning businesses and theyre neighborhoods don't look poor! That says alot about us
Not all of Santa Ana is what is represented in this video. There are a ton of areas in the city that are fantastic places to be. I dislike the fact that they portray the city as a whole as a wasteland. That is not true.
I was raised in Santa Ana in the early 90's.
Growing up I saw a lot of corruption/gangs/chaos in my neighborhood. It was like 'a way of life'. The worst thing I've seen (even to this day) is a guy (who ironically enough was a neighbor of mine) getting stabbed near an alley in Downtown. When I was a preteen however, I moved in to a small city in LA with my father. It was there where I saw real poverty/hardships.. not so much in the city I lived, but the city next door, which was Compton -- you literally can't walk down any block without seeing bars on windows, and I doubt they were for decoration.
Santa Ana has now definitely changed for the better,
and Downtown SA looks much more refreshing (:
Hello Im in the CSULB MA anthro program, where did you get the SA hardest place to grow up info?
Jerome park where I used to play ball with my family orale
Fuck I remember Mrs benavide n her husband..she was my teacher for 4grade
My father was born and raised in Santa Ana. I always felt Stockton was one of the worst places to live.
i
Tacos Mexico!!
i used to get my tacos there sometimes..lol
Does anyone know were they sell music audio cassettes (tapes) in santa ana ?English or Spanish music.
instead of teaching si se pueda, why don't they teach English. Teach folks that it's cool to have a better life than it is to tag shit on walls, or be in a gang. I was born and raised in Santa Ana in the 50's and 60's. I always felt Santa Ana was the best place to grow up as a kid, but that all changed when people started voting for the welfare check, and not what was best for the people. Today I would not spend 5 min. there.
SANTANERA 4 LYFE!!!!!!!!!
Oakland is way worst than Santa Ana ...
If you have 2 major races in a city of course!compton,south central,Oakland other cities of course....but in santa ana which us 96.7% so called latino\Hispanic but i call them indigenous....of course is not as worse....
Xolotl Townsend Santa Ana is like 75 Hispanic
i keep hearing the people in the video pronounce the city's name as "santana", last time i checked it was "santa ana", get it right!!!!
IT SHOWS TOWNSEND
Santa Ana born and raised
no one to blame but themselves.
*system
+Buridoughboy yep
I grow up on Townsend ..st back in the 90s
i used to live in those apartments
Awwww my little sister and dad _
There's no hood in square county point blank period
Jake White oh yea well go check it out theres over 90 gangs in Santa Ana,old hoods as well
I live right by townend it isnt bad only the street itself is toward carr it gets safer and safer
A bit pointless without sound. Can you reload or remove.
Don't matter puro SANTA ANA CALLE STANDARD IS THE BEST TO LIVE AND DIE IN S.A
Interesting how some people in this video seemingly try to blame the problems of Santa Ana on the county lol.
chunti town represent!!!
JoE FunKZ chunti town??man are you of mexican descent?porfavor have some respect
so true
im only 16
17 years later n townsend still gutter asf lol
lol omg this is only the bad part of santa ana how come they dont show the good sides too lmao...haha santa ana is pretty kool to live...
Get palido and his henchmen out of there and this city would have more $. Instead he filters money to major business men whom are connected and back by cartels in Mexico. Men who own seafood places I will not mention to no effect how did he get to be mayor for ten long years? With all these findings still he is allowed to roam the streets with greed.
He's been mayor for 23 years
it was my impression that all mexicans loved tamales
i live in santa ana lol it's not that bad
I'm sorry but santa ana is not what this video makes out to be.
i live in santa ana
Raitt St!! =]
SA is not the worst place to live in CA that is over dramatic. sure the poverty level is high, thats a struggle many hispanics, blacks n asians face. its more of like the worst plae to live in OC. cuz everywhere else to live in OC is either nice or kinda bad. compare SA to LA. i was raised in south central n compton. n honestly ive seen many people murdered for race, clothing n color apparel, especially friends of mine. people get killed for a piece of jewelry or a pair of shoes. on a day to day basis. the phrase around here is " u aint a real one till u kill one". so this city is about gangs n theres thousands of em trust. money is a factor but in all honesty. the parts of LA, SCLA,CPT, WATTS, EAST LA are about one rule. kill as many as u can, its all about killing. SA has high poverty level but LA has an intense crime and murder rate. especially in summer people just shoot others for no reason sometimes (kids,elders, parents, anyone). sad but very true. i hope this helps some people understand the difference rather than having greedy pride in where their from.
me- from LA N CPT
granma n mom- from SA(bad part)
=understanding of both places.
shits worse now actually.
Santa ana ain't hard🤭
LA IS THE SHIT! What the hell you talking about?
