People need to take responsibility for themselves too. I’m a Hispanic immigrant who was under daca for majority of my life and still managed to succeed. It took me 8 years to graduate college while working but never gave up or acted like a victim
People are quick to pity themselves and turn to drugs at any obstacle. My parents never had a lot of money but gave everything to make sure I came to a land of opportunities. I made sure not to let them down
how about the u.s government take responsibility for their complete neglect of their own people, the complete indifference to growing poverty and homelessness, while allocating money towards corporate bailouts and imperialist wars.. poverty is a policy choice.
@@eternaldrunk If you depend on the government to take action then this problem will never stop. In a perfect world it would work this way but we know this will never change, not with Trump and not with Biden. If an ex illegal immigrant can do it then so can US citizens and residents. Having lived in impoverished environments a lot of my lifetime, I’ve seen first hand people milk the system to avoid having to find work. There’s people that do need that help but if you’re a healthy person then there’s really no excuse. Unless you enjoy the victim mentality and being poor.
This is the best comment I’ve ever seen on this channel. I wish more people shared your perspective and outlook. The victim mentality is absolutely pathetic and weak.
Heroin was bad in the seventies. Then it went out of fashion. It will probably go out of fashion again.
Rents are going up and people on SS cannot afford apartments or even a mobile home! That's probably why you see a lot of women. 😢
No politician is gonna fix these problems were facing. you would be a fool to think they would. @@songbird6362
@@songbird6362we need 10 more years of Biden. America is better than ever.
and daycare is $1000 a month and only moms are responsible for the kids. being a dad is optional in america
Haha you don't know what you're talking about, just riding around speculating about things and making up stuff. And judging by the comments people are just eating it up which is quite sad honestly. Just another TH-cam hack 😂😂
Jose have you heard about the weather predictions for hurricane season? They saying because the ocean is hotter than normal and other conditions that Florida will be in danger of many powerful hurricanes this season.
I saw a weather report that said this year is going to be one of the worst hurricane seasons for the United States. Mainly because of how warm the waters are like you said and also because of the change to La Nina.
Life in the south is hard. They do not have a lot of social programs like other states. You are pretty much on your own.
I know one girl who went to Florida with her dog so she can camp out. She has ssi but likes to sleep outside. She sleeps on n the woods not in town. She is not a substance abuser is educated. She dresses well. She just likes to camp out with n the woods with her dog.
Heck i hv perimeter alarms & booby traps set up around my ⛺ & sleep with my gun in hand & 1 eye open,, and I'm in a 💩 hole of a swamp & still on high alert 24/7..
That girl is living dangerously, 🙏 for her safety 🙏
If ypu think things are bad in FL you should check CA. I'll take Florida anytime
I have been out there, loved it. turn off fox news and travel more
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS it's gradually getting worse, so is denver now and everywhere
One homeless person on the corner...you are really trying to get utube $...Arcadia has no problems of any major concern
No, we saw dozens of homeless get the crap outta here you saw the video
Great video, there is plenty to think about. With all these references to dud and weird countries, I was wondering if Jose is interviewing for a job at some niche cable outlets.
You have picked one place and using it to mark all of Arcadia. I’m been there and you are sorta fabricating your story. And why are you only saying Haitians. You are just making your own story.
pretty sure thats every small town at this point and yes small towns have gangs
Hey, I like this direction. Looking at Who is in the area and the tags. Very good awareness. Keep it up Jose.
Have you ever thought of working in mental health? I think you would be an amazing outreach leader and advocate. You have the eyes, insight and extensive research to back up your experience. I really think you could be an asset in the field of social work and social justice. Finish your schooling. Get that basic done. You literally would be an asset of knowledge and should be on a committee or board. 👍🏼
I’d be happy to provide you with direction on where to apply and some direction.
The Confederate type people left alone can stop that gang painting.
The gangs exist BECAUSE of them. the more opreesed a community is the more gangs you have. look inot the history of how gangs start, its ALWAYS because of oprresion. If you didnt know THE BIGGEST GANG is always immune..
Jose, you want gang graffiti. Just got to your local convenience store bathroom. You’ll see it in the wall.
Rural alabama sounds like a horrible place to live. Poor people who like to hold on to old racist ways of yesterday I feel nothing for, so they get what they deserve. Thank you for another perspective on the old south. I suspect that in the coming years those areas will look like ghost towns of a forgotten era never to return. You have a new subscriber....
Jose..have you ever checked out Deland?..Very cool little city..Stetson University is there..downtown is nice..hope you go there..be safe..
Sad to see that beautiful state too going to crap 💩
It is it really is. Tampa Florida to Latin Kings arrested last year. This is a big town Tampa Florida so please be careful they're spread everywhere. God bless everyone and God bless the USA
The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. It is the strategy of forcing political change to societal collapse through orchestrated crises. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, amassing massive unpayable national debt, and other methods such as unfettered immigration, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
I would approach these homeless camps with caution, you have the right to film in public but only a matter of time before you come across some lunatic that disagrees
driving on hwy 70 with road raging idiots was more dangerous than walking into these camps
Dover Florida homeless rates high I carry wasp spray eyes because I don't have it in me to carry a gun. God bless you, please everybody stays safe
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSjust be safe please because I walk into it and my little town Dover Florida. Spray good for the eyes but if you're outnumbered be I don't know what to tell you
Greed is what I think and just the lack of people that don't agree
Wait for it..The collapse of Haiti will bring thousands more immigrants..It happened in the late 70's, I remember as a kid seeing multiple boats unloading at N. Miami Beach. We are entering into a complete nightmare.
And among those Haitians thousands of africans pretending to be Haitian
FYI: Obummer flew daily plane loads of Haitian refugees into Florida after the Port Au Prince earthquake disaster.
So wrong, so sad!!!!!!!!! I will add this to my prayer list!! Just so you know my prayers have produced blessings!!! Every day is a blessing. We do get low. My husband and I have health issues but I tell him to go sitting in a parking lot. You will realize how blessed we really are. Just so you know my prayers answered have been quite remarkable. One took 50 years to happen with a lot of scary moments. One prayer rejoicing moment occurred about 3 years. Then a lot were answered in a week. One was answered but my dad had already began his journey to Heaven. However, it sort of ok really. One prayer I have been praying is that our future leaders will keep seeking the Truth!!! ❤️🙏🇺🇸❤️
I'm praying for everyone, I call everyone my brothers and sisters. I made my personal mission to feed the homeless as most have no transportation to get to food banks. I have found so many beautiful people, most are young and they're homeless because their parents lost their home, people say it's drugs. Well for one of my little homeless friends it was drugs, cartels Fentanyl. Mikayla Redmond, she was layed down dead, railroad track. All they say is that she was hit by a train Seffner Florida 26 years old. Sometimes you got to go through a whole lot and stand up. God bless this country.
glad I moved out back to CT for me-FL used to be so cheap
Great coverage of the scene there in Arcadia, it's been about 15 years since I left Florida and it was NEVER that bad, especially in the smaller towns. This is a HUGE change in the years I have been gone from my home state. It's sad to see it going downhill, thank you Jose for showing us what is going on in the state 🙂
Those roads, first off, make me want to know what their local government is doing with the funding?
I haven't been in Arcadia since i was 19! There was a major mental hospital there then so there were more jobs. It was very pretty downtown. We used to go to the rodeo there. Now it looks awful.
Its beat up now. Very impoverished and crime ridden. Some areas are very dangerous too
Next time when you come to Arcadia, you should really try Magnolia Street seafood and grill, located in the pink building. Their food is very good.
The sunshine is Florida makes the most desolate places look wonderful😍 . Thanks for sharing the wonderful sites and sounds of my beautiful state.
Rather be homeless in Florida than in a mansion in some other state
I haven't been to Arcadia compared to the other heartland towns yet but it looks rough. The area doesn't have any good paying jobs, and little to no protections, which is what's forcing people out of those towns. You got bravery recording some of these places. I got too scared just being around Sebring/Avon Park after dark. One of the first times in Florida I ever felt nervous traveling through.
@@wesley7234 I am talking about the Florida Heartland. Highlands, Okeechobee, Polk, Glades, Osceola, DeSoto, Hardee, Hendry, and parts of Palm Beach and Collier counties. The area south of Orlando and in between the coasts. That's the Florida Heartland. Rural and isolated from the bigger areas of Florida.
I have lived in Florida for ten years now and never knew that. It seems you learn something new everyday.
@@wesley7234 Osceola South of Kissimmee and Polk along highway 60 and below is also part of the Florida heartland in my opinion.
I live in Arcadia and I can tell you there's like a butt load of gangs at my school. Some of them wanted me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
Don’t ever join them! It might seam cool now but all those guys RUINED their life’s. Growing up (which feels like yesterday to me time will fly) there were southern, blood, G D, vatos, brown, and a few more. Those kids taught they were the coolest thing ever. Today, ALL of them got years in prison, some are dead.. i was out here with girls, cars and eating and traveling. Trust me, i came from nothing and its SAD how those peoples lifes turn out. Eventually they can’t even go back to their hoods because of opps or cops. I can still go hang out where i grew up those guys are all gone forever from the place they grew up in. They became nobodies bro.
Tomorrow you will be out here with cars and jewelry and food, and those gang members will be locked away in a cold prison crying in the dark. Stay away from them, they will all eat dirt for trusting in gangs. Oh and by the way, the first thing that happened to people is your friends snitch. Hands down. Get caught they snitch. Nothing like watching someone who swore to do anything for you, pointing at your moms house from a police car
That's insane, don't join a gang you will be sorry, it's not glamorous and it's not fun it's dangerous and it's stupid.
Not surprised about small town Florida.😂😂😂... Thankfully we don't live in Florida, NYC and CA...... Child FREE here
0:24 😢😢 that looked good as hell😅
Why are you surprised 😢 with open border. We have some very dangerous people coming into the country. And lots of lay offs, and rent so high. Florida has a high homeless population. It's not going to get better for many years to come. Wait till the government stops giving illegal immigrants money.
I am sure the native americans can agree that dangerous people came
I am sure that’s what the natives of Cuba said also when the Spanish came to their shores.
not good, im looking to move to arcadia FL because I can get a large lot of land. Hopefully the gangs dont bother me. my hands are rated E for everyone. I don't discriminate
Dover FL. I do the same, the untold truth is now my story to tell
Jose..i never saw Arcadia looking this bad..they wii never bring Arcadia back..RIP
A neighborhood or town can deteriorate very fast. I have been making request with my County and CDD for landscape maintenance and removal of litter. Etc. Most have been resolve still waiting for some. You would think you buy into a new construction neighborhood it would be nice 😅
I havent heard the name Hobo in along time.
I'll tell you why this is happening
❤🎉😊 Thanks for a great video bro. Your awesome.😊❤❤
Most of Fla is overpriced!!! Salaries truly suck!!! So it's time to leave " paradise!"😢
Hmmm, i went there to see people who are retired there. Because its cheep compared to other areas. Some are snow birds others full time. Not many gas stations. Always a crowd at them. East side theres Walmart. Prices will continue to go up everywhere. Working people and poor not subsidized will be homless if their not already. One other question, who are the local officials ??
What about you look up the fact that two Latin Kings that I mean Latin Kings be worse, arrested in Tampa Florida last year. How about look up Seffner Florida 26 year old woman killed by train. R.I.P. sweet baby, Mikayla Redman was my friend
The weather is also created by the govt. Prepare yourself for worse to come.
Like your shows but you repeat yourself way too many times. Just some constructive criticism
1:32😮,damnnn
The homeless population has gotten worse here in houston smdh...😢.
dont hate on squatted trucks. im planning to move to arcadia, and have a squatted truck and a donk with huge wheels. those houses look too high class for most migrant field workers to live in. so idk where they actually live at
In reviewing the City business they seem to have their priorities in order. Last City Council Meeting they reviewed and voted on Golf Course Irrigation, Mayor and Council-members pay raises - 30% for the Mayor and 60% for the Council-members, they discussed throwing out a hard-drive and some computer towers and long term FEMA recovery. Seen the Confederate flags you kept pointing out, but didn't see any Trump flags unless your were referring to the American Flag. President Trump sure does loves American and the American Flag.
Show it like it is Jose!! The proof is in the pudding!!
in massachusetts is different landlords are selling the property off many companies and private owners are buying up property and putting money into it. some of the old dilapidated properties are cleaned up some get turned down and replaced with new buildings and houses. the suburban town I live in was industrial over half the factories are gone neighborhoods are looking better. the cost is increasing. I know about supplement security income and section 8 vouture there are a handful people on those and they use money to buy alcohol or street drugs. they have nothing going in their life. they talk trash they are physically sick off and on. I been watching world events.
What happened? Hurricane Ian.
Checkout Otter Creek
another crap hole of a small town. i did videos there many years back
Horrible
Why aren't the officials paid to enforce code and employees paid to clean up, doing their jobs? send your videos to the governor
COME ON MAN how can you tell if they are hatians are they darker then american made or what
Easy, they speak Haitian Creole… 🤦🤷♂️ how much easier is it to identify a country than by the fact they speak their own language moron
actually most Haitians are very dark, their language is different and their posture, body language,preferred clothing makes it easy to distinguish them.
If they speak French? That’s rich.
This channel is 95% BS.
2:46,your eyes are beautiful ❤
Looks like a really nice place to live hey brother please do us all a great service and get right with the Lord 🙏 Jesus loves you more than you realize ✝️
Yet desantis touts not being like San Francisco. Give me a break.
Florida is a good place for "duds"
Lauren perhaps when duty calls, and your an American Soldier stationed to Florida, I'm one and I can't believe how low one can be to disrespect Anyone
i hv been homeless for over 2 years now & couldn't B happier..
I'm 68 & no drug alcohol or mental disorder, not on any meds either.
2 happy years of enjoying my ss chek & not having to give the biggest part of it to a greedy control freak landlord 🙂⛺🌴🐊
Anyone can just drive around and comment and film other people's lives and towns. You just find the worst locations to film. Get a life
I subscribe and like your channel; but your fear of the Confederate Battle Flag TODAY is unwarranted. I have one in my truck, and I’m from Vero Beach, FL. Those gangs you’re talking about, who live there, aren’t white supremacists. How could they thrive with the klan around? I consider myself a southern Confederate, and I’d treat you as friendly as anyone. You want to see real racism, go somewhere Yankee! Whites and browns have been living together in the south for centuries! No way can you tell me wounds haven’t been healed down there, to a large degree. You’re seeing Confederate flags in protest of those state flags being taken down, Confederate Monuments being taken down, and military bases being renamed from Confederate Generals. It’s passive aggressiveness you’re looking at, and nothing else. You ain’t gonna get lynched, bro. Still a fan of your page, and will keep supporting you.
That place has been hit hard from hurricanes.
Well why don't you come here and see how hard it's hit with the homeless the cartels and the Latin Kings and I can tell you where to find it Tampa two Kings arrested last year. And they're spread out everywhere don't be a smart one, be safe
@SoldiersNRprayers I grew up in punta gorda fl graduated from Charlotte high school. Lived in Charlotte County for a long time.there has always been a homeless population there.im surecits gotten worse over the years.
@@justindanley6817 in my small town called Plant City Florida, I got you a little town called Dover I have for years. I go there to buy my horse feed. I have a high passion for the homeless people and I do feed them. It's gotten 10 times worse.
@SoldiersNRprayers I have a couple of places in fl.one in polk County and the other in Citrus County. My mother side of the family is from Florida.i have seen many changes in fl.none of it has been for the good.i know some people from plant city they are good folks.i still enjoy the strawberry festival.

Rednecks can be a lot of fun to hang out with thank you
Haitians are hard workers also Jose
They are. But the US is offering them nothing right now. And many are coming here to be homeless which is pointless. Haitians used to come here to be successful. These new arrivals seam to be okay being homeless. Thats not exactly what we or they need. Canada on the other hand offers legal status if you speak french.
I worked with and for Haitians in naples. Beautiful people but these new arrivals are not prepared to succeed
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS no they are not okay with being homeless their waiting for opportunities, trust me
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSthe same can be said about the Cubans that come now vs the ones from my dad’s generation.
You can thank all the immigrants for what's happening.
You could thank all the wealthy people from other states ruining Florida
The United States is in decline, homelessness is only going to get worse.
All part of the plan
