In the mid 90s in Toronto a friend who was from Philly had family come up from there. They worked in social services and asked us to drive them through Toronto’s ‘bad’ neighborhoods. When they saw them they laughed and laughed and laughed.
Thank you CharlieBo, I could watch your videos for hours (and sometimes do). I'm from the UK, lived in Germany as a child and then Paris and London later in life; now in rural England. I drove (with my then boyfriend) across the US for three months back in the summer of 2006. I never intended to drive through dangerous areas but I did sometimes get lost (and stayed in some very unsavoury motels - we were in our early 20s and on a tight budget!). Memphis and Detroit definitely felt like the most dangerous cities to me then. New Orleans was still largely devastated by Katrina, one year on.
Hey pearl that’s quite a cool story. Can I ask where in the uk you now live after such eventful and memorable travels? I only ask as I’m in the uk too and would like to explore America some day 😊
You are not kidding. Detroit and especially Memphis are some of the top most dangerous cities here. Haven’t been to Detroit, but I have been to Memphis. Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Philadelphia are nearly as bad and I’m sure you’ve also been through these places.
At this point Memphis is on another level. Hearing multiple murders and drive-by is just a regular daily thing. Also when they block the freeway to do donuts, police don't show up. You just wait until they're done with their donuts. Horrible place to live. I feel sorry for people who are trying to have a normal, decent, quiet life in Memphis.
I recall hearing a researcher say that some kids in LA are so affected by gang affiliation and territory that they had lived there their whole lives and had never been to the beaches. Just stayed in their own neighborhoods.
@@cesarleeroy5418 You're killin' me man. I grew up in Canada and we this never even entered our minds. We hunted and fished and rode dirt bikes and drove cars into the ditch. 40 years later, just nicer boats and trucks.
It's sad, but true. Gangs are the elephant in the room, and American media stopped talking about gangs after the "Progressive" movement decided that the only lives that matter are those that are taken by police.
If you say that about la idk what you think of Mexico or Haiti, Somalia, Syria or Pakistan smh do you know how much more dangerous the world is outside of America
@@monte2487I understand your point of showing there are more dangerous countries (when we are comparing cities) however our topic its mostly based on the U.S, so we are only comparing cities But if we ignore that, then Mexico and Haiti are worse, but it really depends which place in Mexico to.
I made a ghetto pride comment on this vid to the nigs that want to argue that their HOOD IS MORE DANGEROUS!!! OOOhhhhHH! Look it up and comment in the correct comment section please.
Tractors are scourge🤣Especially on those tight, narrow roads of rural England. Urban legend has it that the tightness of the rural roads was seriously considered as an advantage against possible German invasion in WW2🤣
I'm actually quite surprised that NJ didn't make your list once. I'm in Atlantic City, NJ. There's been 3 full blown shoot outs across the street from my house. I saw a pretty young guy waiting for police/EMTs after he was stabbed across the street over $9. He sadly didn't make it. All within a little over a week. Gun shots are basically a nightly occurrence. I trip over belligerent, aggressive, destructive, disgusting, drug addicted, mentally ill/unstable trespassers every time I leave my apartment. Regularly harassed for money. Drugs are sold openly without concern. Police turn a blind eye due to laziness, corruption, &/or what I presume is disenchantment with lack of accountability for the criminals they arrest. Why bother wasting their time & energy when they're right back on the block within 24hrs? Passive, that's the exact vibe within the legal system. The responsibility for escalating crime is left to the local residents to manage themselves. Police will do absolutely nothing. Even when it's directly in their faces! Not unless they're called to the scene by dispatch. What do police do when they see an active stabbing, shooting, a person being violently beating with a weapon? They nope right outta there. They'll speed away & wait for a call from dispatch before they return like nobody noticed. It's crazy to see with your own eyes! The violence has become terrible & it's sad to see the community like this. If you stick to the tourist approved areas you'll most likely be just fine. Stray from the designated path, especially at night, you might get into a situation you won't soon forget.
I'm in North Seattle, and I'm hearing shootings almost every night now. Last weekend, two cars a block from me shot each other up. I heard the Seattle rapper who was shot and killed. That was right next to me. I was in my room when that shooting happened and it was loud. I'd feel safer back in Iraq at this point. America is turning into a 3rd world country fast.
@@mattobrien3210 Just be careful you don't stray too far from the boardwalk if you're out at night. Especially between Boardwalk Hall & Tropicana casino. That's where I live. The drugs & addiction is crazy bad. People are outta their mind at night. Between that & Drug dealer/Gang fighting it's pretty freaking wild. I mean, honestly, you'll most likely be just fine. However, I wouldn't suggest taking to many risks after midnight by wandering into the non tourist areas off the Boardwalk. I live here & I don't go out after midnight most of the time. Not even directly across the street to the store. It's like those 24hr convince stores attract this criminal nut jobs. Anyway, update me after your trip & let me know how things went. Best of luck. You'll have tons of fun casino hopping tbh. The casino nightlife is great. The boardwalk is great during the day for activities. Have fun & stay safe!
You definitely do a good job with your videos, no narration, just the experience of being there. I used to repair hospital x ray equipment. I've seen some of those neighborhoods
A lot of closed stores, boarded up apartments, people doing absolutely nothing. Crazy thing about this, the majority of Americans in the inner cities live like this. 😢
I live in New Orleans and you didn’t even go to really crazy side which is the East. I’m glad somebody else thought LA was crazy as hellll. The rest of the cities you expect to be crazy because it’s already known but LA shocked me.. it was all types of weird crazy shit going on EVERYWHERE.
@@JesusChrist-qs8sx his videos don’t have narration, they just kinda speak for themselves; but it would be great to get a caption like “this guy flashed his gun at me”, or “this is where I got scared” or something like that. A lot of times I think I see something or hear something as he passes by off camera, and wonder.
@@kd8opi 23:08 you can see the dude on the left reach inside his pocket for a gun, it definitely would've escalated if Charlie was going any slower ofc at 25:20 the white car narrowly avoids getting carjacked, interesting that he didn't care about Charlie once the other car pulled away 26:30 one of the men on the right says "Yeah, you better be movin'!" I don't think Charlie anything in his car that would attract a thief beyond a phone/camera. You can see lots of ogling as he passes by, and the guns would start getting pulled if there was anything worth stealing. Having police cruisers nearby definitely keeps the confrontations to a minimum as well.
@@jessetruck903I spent a few years living in housing projects in Richmond VA. The poor don’t get taken advantage of, we don’t have anything to take. We are given just enough, and the most destructive things are made available to us, so we can motivate you. Public housing, the drugs, the guns its all in effort to scare the shit out of the working and middle class so they keep showing up to work. People keeping going to jobs they hate, and expect less pay then their work is worth because they will do anything to not end up living like this. As an outsider looking in you only get to see the bad stuff. I’m a white guy raised in suburbia and I never felt a level of community like I did in the projects. One night I was propositioned by a male prostitute while walking to the 7-11, it freaked me out and I said as much at the store. This sweet old man who used a walker walked me home to give me support and confidence. There is so much beautiful stuff happening within these places. You gotta see it from the inside out.
@@carstarsarstenstesennin Philly plenty of streets in South and North Philly people have to parallel park ON THE CURB, just so an average car car can pass by safely. Some blocks people parallel park on the actual sidewalk. It's a colonial city. Not built for cars. Especially in the very dense sections of North and South Philly.
I live in what’s the cheapest (i.e. worst) part of Melbourne, Australia. Other Melbournians look down their nose at Melton, but it’s absolutely clean, safe and tranquil compared to some of these places Charlie goes.
It comes down to how you are brought up. As kids we didnt have a lot of money, but my parents kept a nice house. My parents also supervised us. We had rules and cerfews. People in the neighborhood kept there blocks clean and orderly. As my mother always said, “soap and water are cheap”. You look at the neighborhoods in this video, its nasty. Garbage all over. Way overgrown lawns. Cars parked on lawns. No supervision of kids. They are out all hours of the night and up to mischief. These people do not giving a flying Fk about anything. Zero self-respect or respect for others. And thanks to the corrupt bozo in the white house, all of this has gotten worse. His democrat buddies who are prosecutors and judges, offer zero consequences to criminals. So now crime DOES pay. You get a slap on the wrist, if even that. Its beyond ridiculous at this point. This’ll only get worse, unless we rid democrat politicians out of office.
As a fellow Australia, I'd argue some of the indigenous outback communities are probably as bad as what is depicted here. Also i think Melbourne is a bit weird as the most grimy parts of the city e.g. Richmond are actually really expensive
@@Jamcad01Agreed. If you want to see Australia at its worst you don’t go to the big cities. Sections of Alice Springs, Dubbo and Townsville have levels of deprivation unknown to most Australians.
I don’t know if anyone else heard the comments from the the ppl in L.A. as Charlie drove by, some one yelled: “Yeah, you better be UBER”. That’s all you needed to know😉😂
i think they were waiting for an uber or something lol. I get how it might sound like they're saying "Get off my block!" , but it's a big apartment complex where they damn sure don't know every resident that lives there so that seems less plausible
i've lived in LA before been through the bad parts plenty never heard the lingo "U better be uber" plus charlie is an old black dude driving through an apartment complex what does u better be uber even mean😂@@realtalk37851
I have to agree with the no#. 1 spot….I’m from Harlem…I felt very on edge when I was in LA..it seem like there were potential active shooters everywhere in the hood….sheessh!!
@@clockwork365 the relaxed parts of LA these days in terms of set tripping are more in west LA. Some parts of the San Fernando Valley like west valley/calabasas are chill but even the valley can be tricky af. Mid city can be chill too, fairfax district, park la brea. Silverlake is chill but super hipster boujee. North East LA has pockets of pretty cool & laid back places & also pockets of hood too.
I know that feeling. I visit family there and the atmosphere gives you a calm before the storm. Which is hidden from view in the day. At night is when the blinds and uncovered and you see the real dark demon of LA. The reported murder statistics are very downplayed. Many murders are unreported. LA reports one of the highest for peoples missing. Many of those are murders as well. Gang have gotten smart and learned to kidnap rivals and bury them out in the desert or dismember and dissolve their bodies. This is based on accounts of ex gangsters from LA
I live in DC. I've been to every city on this list except Birmingham. There's a good part of every city and a bad. Generally,. if you aren't into the streets like the people are, hanging out, drinking, doing nothing, and not productive you wont have as much of an issue. You can easily avoid rough neighborhoods. I was in the rough areas and people spoke to me like any other person. If you're respectful and up to something positive they can tell. If you're up to foolishness they can tell. I never needed a gun or a knife in DC and people looked up to me for keeping people out of trouble growing up.
100% but it can still happen. You can get your place or your car robbed. Crime is a problem, but it's not like the wild west where you walk outisde and there's an automatic shootout.
I think race plays a big part, if you're black and walk through a black neighborhood that is rough its unlikely you will have any issue, you will blend in . May still get looks and stares if your face is not familiar but you just don't look back and keep walking
I grew up in a rougher part of Boston but when I went to DC for the first time to grab a bottle I was a little intimidated by the environment. I was like at least I blend in lol. DC definitely makes rougher parts of Boston feel safe.
@@blackcherry6877 Then come on down to Mattapan and keep that same energy. Tell the people in that area that their hood ain’t rough and they all soft. I didn’t say it’s murder capital of the world but ain’t no suburban town that little Johnny grew up in. Tf
@@Str8OuttaBostonTK Dude, I'm from Chicago, I'm not afraid of Boston😂 And I grew up on the rich side of Chicago and still have been to the rough sides of my city and I'll say this again, I'm not afraid of Boston. I've been there many times, its a beautiful city. Quit trying to be tough sir.

I've lived in a couple rough areas and there seems to be a misconception about what's a "bad area". People think they're going to go there and hear gunshots 24/7; get carjacked, robbed, see fights breaking out, etc. While that stuff does happen, it usually just happens to the people already doing illegal shit. If you're working a 9-5; use common sense, be aware of where you're going and what you're doing, you'll mostly be okay as far as violent crime goes. There's way more people just trying to get by in these neighborhoods than there are criminals. The tourists and out of town people who get victimized in these areas get the news coverage because it's abnormal. It's usually just the low life dealers/gang bangers who get involved and victimized by the violent crime.
Fr bro. Raised in south side chicago and while the wrong people do get hurt sometimes, 98% of the time if you mind your business nobody will go out of their way to fuck with you
😢 15 different versions of Niggaville 😢 Metro ATL is so spread out with the foolishness now, tearing down the projects and giving them vouchers to go to North South East and West has ruined many nice neighborhoods.
Lol facts all version u can say that we your from Atlanta like myself I'm the east side and crime has taken over everything outside of Atlanta city limits
I’ve visited Third World countries. I’ve also been through the rough neighborhoods in those countries. In all honesty, I feel safer in those Third World countries than I do in those US neighborhoods. Why? Those folks who live there don’t have a chip on their shoulders,. Never demanding a hand out and are deeply respectful of themselves and their neighbors. The hospitality of those people would warm the coldest hearts. And would give you their only meal of the day to make sure you were comfortable.
I feel safer walking in these grimmy neighborhoods then in any suburb. I know who to watch out for in the hood but in these suburbs??? It be the nicest folks looking for an excuse to shoot you.
Thanks CharlieBo !! Grew up in Chester, Philly‘s my ole stomping grounds, so to me it all looked fine- then I moved to Utah, Little cottonwood canyon, Completely different. Apparently gunshots all the time is NOT NORMAL. but I knew no different then.
Been living in the Salt Lake Metro area for almost 6 years and something you might have noticed as much as I have is that the 2 most common state plates from the northeast I see here are Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
Went to Baltimore recently...garbage and graffitti everywhere...people standing on the sidewalks not working....yelling at each other in traffic.....sidewalks full of grass and weeds....what a place.
No need to wake up, just to avoid making the same mistakes, encourage young folks to go to school, get a nice job, work for your community. That is the recipe to get a nice community. Besides that avoid the family destruction, don't listen to rap/hip hop music, only encourages criminal behavior.
@@andrehoffmann2931exactly, I’m married to a decent black man, thank God he grew up in suburbs, but had family in the hood, so he listen to rap , I already told him if I ever have a child I don’t want to hear him playing rap around that child.
Everytime I see one of the houses in Detroit, I think to myself, "Damn, there has to be one that I can salvage." Of course, I would need a job lined up before I move to another state. I've had a few pop up on my radar here in Boston, but everytime I try for it, somebody that's loaded bulldozes it and puts overpriced condos or apartments there instead.
You definitely have a lot more luck in Detroit than in Boston. Detroit is actually improving a lot near the city center so if you're actually considering it, look around anywhere within a mile of downtown because it'll be likely to gentrify in coming years. The worst parts of Detroit are further away from downtown so definitely do your research. Boston's housing market is 100x more competitive than Detroit
often think that too, weve got citizens living in tents in so many american cities , instead of sending billions to foreign wars ,,,why cant the govt rehab all these empty houses and get the homeless into these homes and off the streets
@@carstarsarstenstesennman cut the bs I live here and I’ve traveled a lot too Detroit as a whole city is not all the way bad there are many nice neighborhoods that are still beautiful with nice big houses I never grew up in a bad neighborhood a the area I lived in had 4-5 bedroom houses in the city Everything on tv or clips is not a full representation Never had my car stolen never been robbed never had that problem ever
This might be a bit of an ignorant question from someone who isn't from the city, but why do most of these people hang around outside in groups like this? I always assumed drugs was the main answer, or is there more to it? And why outside rather than indoors somewhere? Is this due to many of them being homeless or are there other factors? Not at all trying to be rude or condescending , just want to understand.
Easy access to dealers if they gotta use multiple times a day and/or they're selling themselves so they leave themselves open to people trying to buy (especially around gas and train stations)
Mostly just nothing else to do. There aren't a lot of spaces for them to go. The alternative is sitting inside a house all day and some people just don't want to do that. At least like this they can be out with their friends. I'm not saying it's usually the best idea, or that they're up to anything good, but that's the answer to your question. "Where else are they gonna go?"
Your question wasnt ignorant but the replies were, has nothing to do with the bs these weird people are talking about 😂😂. Honestly we ask ourselves the same question like why do white people jog & enjoy being outside at festivals in 2 degree weather?? To popular belief from movies & rap music videos, drugs, homeless, & the comment section’s opinions are not the main reasons we’re outside like that. Those reasons don’t hold enough weight as to those being why “we be out” like that. We receive health benefits from the sun for our skin & hair (prejudice thinkers please don’t get upset🤦🏾♂️). Sun on our skin feels amazing, as if like we’re charging or this slight small electric feeling (maybe y’all do to, I don’t know). Vitamin D deficiency is false because our bioavailable levels are on point. We enjoy Mother Nature & we definitely don’t see a crime in enjoying the existence of Earth instead of being in brick buildings all day. We’re outside with our family & friends, enjoying life connecting with Earth getting in tune positively. People going to always promote the negative especially the ones that receive every info about these topics from news channels. Being indoors all of time is depressing to us but I guess some are made to withstand being indoors like being on lockdown in jail.
Wow 700 k subs dude! I was watching your videos years ago when u started. Crazy how many ppl watching. Maybe I should also start driving around and filming but I live in Austria there are no „Ghettos“. Peace
I was stationed in West Germany in the Army back in the 70s. We were sitting around and the "why did you join the Army" thing came up. Everybody had some bs "patriotic duty" story except one young private. He said, "I joined to get the f##k out of Baltimore or I'm gonna die there! I'd rather take my chances on the E German/ Czech borders"!
Common threads in this countdown: The neighborhoods are predominantly black; gang and grafitti infused; garbage riddled, overwhelming deterioration and a sense of hopelessness permeating the air...and an absence of pride in their environment and self...
@@sharpdressedvan Crazy how powerful music can be on people. Rap and rock music have been shown to deteriorate plants, while classical music helped them grow. There's a video on my channel of Tupac being interviewed when he was 17 years old. He was clearly not hetero. Which means he was paid handsomely to destabilize and socially engineer his own people. Beyond evil.
11:40 getting trapped in like that, very uncomfortable. Mad props for you having the balls to go riding around in these shit holes. Man I’m so glad I live out in the country. Nebraska is such a beautiful place and there’s practically no crime where I live.
I'm a veteran both enlisted and after college ROTC I was commissioned as an officer and served on active duty. I've seen some deplorable places outside of the US, real poverty and these hoods remind me of those places, but they are right here in American. These "hoods" are almost identical to some third world country. The mayors and politicians responsible for these cities should be ashamed of themselves.
Camden is getting better. The main issue is continuous drug selling without consequence & drug use. In my opinion, Camden will continue to improve as long as these abandoned houses keep getting fixed and rent increases. Camden is surrounded by beautiful suburban neighborhoods a couple of miles away and is close to a lot of businesses & malls, my guess is eventually the drug dealers/users migrate to philly.
First thing I said watching...Camden finally didn't make a top hell hole list. lol. Been a hot minute since living there though. I did hear that nightmare of a city chilled out a bit since covid. idk if thats true.
The entirety of the LA clip is from Watts, specifically around the Imperial Courts housing. That area is probably the most ghetto spot I've seen in all of California. LA as a whole is so massive, you can't really judge it by it's individual parts. But when you are in a sketch place like Watts, you might as well be in the most dangerous place in the country.
@@johnbx2795 Watts and Imp. Courts are a consistent ghetto, anytime you end up in those areas, you know to keep your head on a swivel. South Central and East LA are a lot more difficult to gauge because they look relatively normal.
@@scholageemusic9373 Great point.. I was saying when he was standing on the block with the dudes and he was like did ya'll know them and the cops showed up and etc..
I scrolled through the video. I don’t see any danger, just block parties and people hanging outside. Cause you’re driving through areas where there’s nothing else better to do. Now you slowly creeping past people who’ve never seen you before is really dumb. Sidenote…. LA is sketchy as fuck. If anybody thinks they from the hood.. go to LA 😅 them palm trees would fool anybody. You don’t know who to trust or where to trust lol
All I can say is, it's bad enough that many areas of the country are in the shape that they're in. The only benefit of cruising around these areas while recording is to spread awareness. However, the feedback is disturbing; folks are making snide, judgmental remarks in regards to people living in these areas such as "interesting that these places involve the same culture; Idaho is not blaq; work and stop making pregnancies; Democrats this and that, etc." Many of the people actually do work whether in or outside of their dwellings (self-employed). Many of them are also either working on moving to more sustainable areas, or most importantly improving the areas by utilizing their own effort (mindsets and hard-earned $$). They have the potential to provide positive tangible results to benefit their communities just like everywhere else in the world. Case in point, we're all human beings meaning we all have choices to make in our lives, and none of us are perfect irregardless of location. If any one of on here were to ask yourselves if you are a good person, would you say yes? If any one of you were to ask yourselves how perfect you are, would you say I'm perfectly perfect? There's only one answer to each question. Bottom line, the sun shines and sets and the rain falls and stops on ALL OF US! Your life is what only you make of it. Be well, folks!
I'd say most likely the people in the video don't got much going on in life. But this isn't even close to the majority. This is more akin to rednecks and the such. Every group got them
99.99% of the people in this comment section simply use these videos to feel superior to others and/or have a safe space to spout ignorant racist stuff whilst being too cowardly to admit they're racist.
They have no idea what it's really like. One of the most liked comments on this video is "it's like going to a zoo" which is insane because it means they see the every day people in this video as subhuman just because of the environment they live in. It's crazy how judgmental people can be of people they see for only a few frames in a TH-cam video
@@dagreazy3815 No clearly his favorite city to record is 1 Chicago 2 Juarez 3 Detroit 4 Philly 5 la 6 Tijuana 7 Baltimore 8 Miami 10 Atlanta unthank yourself.
Los Angles and New Orleans had the most dangerous vibes to it. At any second, some fool thinks you are a rival gang member then shots can start firing off in your direction.
This is just a suggestion , now that all of these cities are on this platform for being the toughest cities to live ,now that we got that out the way now ,could we please stop the killing of one another we have nothing to prove let’s end the violence.

I'm actually quite surprised that NJ didn't make your list once. I'm in Atlantic City, NJ. There's been 3 full blown shoot outs across the street from my house. I saw a pretty young guy waiting for police/EMTs after he was stabbed across the street over $9. He sadly didn't make it. All within a little over a week. Gun shots are basically a nightly occurrence. I trip over belligerent, aggressive, destructive, disgusting, drug addicted, mentally ill/unstable trespassers every time I leave my apartment. Regularly harassed for money. Drugs are sold openly without concern. Police turn a blind eye due to laziness, corruption, &/or what I presume is disenchantment with lack of accountability for the criminals they arrest. Why bother wasting their time & energy when they're right back on the block within 24hrs? Passive, that's the exact vibe within the legal system. The responsibility for escalating crime is left to the local residents to manage themselves. Police will do absolutely nothing. Even when it's directly in their faces! Not unless they're called to the scene by dispatch. What do police do when they see an active stabbing, shooting, a person being violently beating with a weapon? They nope right outta there. They'll speed away & wait for a call from dispatch before they return like nobody noticed. It's crazy to see with your own eyes! The violence has become terrible & it's sad to see the community like this. If you stick to the tourist approved areas you'll most likely be just fine. Stray from the designated path, especially at night, you might get into a situation you won't soon forget.
Charlie thinks camden is worst than detroit balimore is way more unsafe than los angeles smh idk what yaw be thinking smh
Damn I’m going to AC on a bus trip 3 days two nights. I love the boardwalk. Guess I shouldn’t be out too late
I'm in North Seattle, and I'm hearing shootings almost every night now. Last weekend, two cars a block from me shot each other up. I heard the Seattle rapper who was shot and killed. That was right next to me. I was in my room when that shooting happened and it was loud. I'd feel safer back in Iraq at this point. America is turning into a 3rd world country fast.
@@mattobrien3210 Just be careful you don't stray too far from the boardwalk if you're out at night. Especially between Boardwalk Hall & Tropicana casino. That's where I live. The drugs & addiction is crazy bad. People are outta their mind at night. Between that & Drug dealer/Gang fighting it's pretty freaking wild. I mean, honestly, you'll most likely be just fine. However, I wouldn't suggest taking to many risks after midnight by wandering into the non tourist areas off the Boardwalk. I live here & I don't go out after midnight most of the time. Not even directly across the street to the store. It's like those 24hr convince stores attract this criminal nut jobs. Anyway, update me after your trip & let me know how things went. Best of luck. You'll have tons of fun casino hopping tbh. The casino nightlife is great. The boardwalk is great during the day for activities. Have fun & stay safe!

26:30 one of the men on the right says "Yeah, you better be movin'!"
I don't think Charlie anything in his car that would attract a thief beyond a phone/camera. You can see lots of ogling as he passes by, and the guns would start getting pulled if there was anything worth stealing.

@@jessetruck903I spent a few years living in housing projects in Richmond VA. The poor don’t get taken advantage of, we don’t have anything to take. We are given just enough, and the most destructive things are made available to us, so we can motivate you. Public housing, the drugs, the guns its all in effort to scare the shit out of the working and middle class so they keep showing up to work. People keeping going to jobs they hate, and expect less pay then their work is worth because they will do anything to not end up living like this. As an outsider looking in you only get to see the bad stuff. I’m a white guy raised in suburbia and I never felt a level of community like I did in the projects. One night I was propositioned by a male prostitute while walking to the 7-11, it freaked me out and I said as much at the store. This sweet old man who used a walker walked me home to give me support and confidence. There is so much beautiful stuff happening within these places. You gotta see it from the inside out.
They take advantage and disregard each other so why would “people in power” to anything different for people who don’t want better for themselves

I live in what’s the cheapest (i.e. worst) part of Melbourne, Australia. Other Melbournians look down their nose at Melton, but it’s absolutely clean, safe and tranquil compared to some of these places Charlie goes.
It comes down to how you are brought up. As kids we didnt have a lot of money, but my parents kept a nice house. My parents also supervised us. We had rules and cerfews. People in the neighborhood kept there blocks clean and orderly. As my mother always said, “soap and water are cheap”. You look at the neighborhoods in this video, its nasty. Garbage all over. Way overgrown lawns. Cars parked on lawns. No supervision of kids. They are out all hours of the night and up to mischief.
These people do not giving a flying Fk about anything. Zero self-respect or respect for others.
And thanks to the corrupt bozo in the white house, all of this has gotten worse. His democrat buddies who are prosecutors and judges, offer zero consequences to criminals. So now crime DOES pay. You get a slap on the wrist, if even that. Its beyond ridiculous at this point. This’ll only get worse, unless we rid democrat politicians out of office.
there's also like 100 people that live in the whole continent of Australia
Thank the lord Australia didn't import African slaves.

Silverlake is chill but super hipster boujee. North East LA has pockets of pretty cool & laid back places & also pockets of hood too.
I know that feeling. I visit family there and the atmosphere gives you a calm before the storm. Which is hidden from view in the day. At night is when the blinds and uncovered and you see the real dark demon of LA. The reported murder statistics are very downplayed. Many murders are unreported. LA reports one of the highest for peoples missing. Many of those are murders as well.

There's something in common with the areas of each video clip here...
I've lived in a couple rough areas and there seems to be a misconception about what's a "bad area". People think they're going to go there and hear gunshots 24/7; get carjacked, robbed, see fights breaking out, etc. While that stuff does happen, it usually just happens to the people already doing illegal shit. If you're working a 9-5; use common sense, be aware of where you're going and what you're doing, you'll mostly be okay as far as violent crime goes. There's way more people just trying to get by in these neighborhoods than there are criminals. The tourists and out of town people who get victimized in these areas get the news coverage because it's abnormal. It's usually just the low life dealers/gang bangers who get involved and victimized by the violent crime.

Everytime I see one of the houses in Detroit, I think to myself, "Damn, there has to be one that I can salvage." Of course, I would need a job lined up before I move to another state. I've had a few pop up on my radar here in Boston, but everytime I try for it, somebody that's loaded bulldozes it and puts overpriced condos or apartments there instead.
You definitely have a lot more luck in Detroit than in Boston. Detroit is actually improving a lot near the city center so if you're actually considering it, look around anywhere within a mile of downtown because it'll be likely to gentrify in coming years. The worst parts of Detroit are further away from downtown so definitely do your research. Boston's housing market is 100x more competitive than Detroit

This might be a bit of an ignorant question from someone who isn't from the city, but why do most of these people hang around outside in groups like this? I always assumed drugs was the main answer, or is there more to it? And why outside rather than indoors somewhere? Is this due to many of them being homeless or are there other factors? Not at all trying to be rude or condescending , just want to understand.
Easy access to dealers if they gotta use multiple times a day and/or they're selling themselves so they leave themselves open to people trying to buy (especially around gas and train stations)
Mostly just nothing else to do. There aren't a lot of spaces for them to go. The alternative is sitting inside a house all day and some people just don't want to do that. At least like this they can be out with their friends. I'm not saying it's usually the best idea, or that they're up to anything good, but that's the answer to your question. "Where else are they gonna go?"
They have nothing to do. No drive, no motivation, nothing. Same shit I see all the time near me in NY
Cockroaches doing what cockroaches do, not very hard to understand
Your question wasnt ignorant but the replies were, has nothing to do with the bs these weird people are talking about 😂😂. Honestly we ask ourselves the same question like why do white people jog & enjoy being outside at festivals in 2 degree weather?? To popular belief from movies & rap music videos, drugs, homeless, & the comment section’s opinions are not the main reasons we’re outside like that. Those reasons don’t hold enough weight as to those being why “we be out” like that.
We receive health benefits from the sun for our skin & hair (prejudice thinkers please don’t get upset🤦🏾♂️). Sun on our skin feels amazing, as if like we’re charging or this slight small electric feeling (maybe y’all do to, I don’t know). Vitamin D deficiency is false because our bioavailable levels are on point. We enjoy Mother Nature & we definitely don’t see a crime in enjoying the existence of Earth instead of being in brick buildings all day. We’re outside with our family & friends, enjoying life connecting with Earth getting in tune positively. People going to always promote the negative especially the ones that receive every info about these topics from news channels.
Being indoors all of time is depressing to us but I guess some are made to withstand being indoors like being on lockdown in jail.

it definitely gets overshadowed by Philly
Camden is getting better. The main issue is continuous drug selling without consequence & drug use.
In my opinion, Camden will continue to improve as long as these abandoned houses keep getting fixed and rent increases. Camden is surrounded by beautiful suburban neighborhoods a couple of miles away and is close to a lot of businesses & malls, my guess is eventually the drug dealers/users migrate to philly.

The entirety of the LA clip is from Watts, specifically around the Imperial Courts housing. That area is probably the most ghetto spot I've seen in all of California. LA as a whole is so massive, you can't really judge it by it's individual parts. But when you are in a sketch place like Watts, you might as well be in the most dangerous place in the country.
I’ve encountered no problems in Watts, during the day. Palmdale felt more intimidating and I’ve been told East Los should be avoided altogether.
Evil Ass Eastside
@@johnbx2795 Watts and Imp. Courts are a consistent ghetto, anytime you end up in those areas, you know to keep your head on a swivel. South Central and East LA are a lot more difficult to gauge because they look relatively normal.
@@johnbx2795 East LA is basically a mexican city
East Los is just very territorial. You'll get hit up a lot if you look active @@johnbx2795
Farm living is the life for me…
Blaq ppl too but everytime a blaq family invest toma farm whyte supremist infiltrate and sabotage like they did blaq wall street
Klan land?
@@Thomao Guess you never watched Green Acres…
@dennistyler9852 It was syndicated in the 1980s so I know what that is. Now, my reply was in the form of a question. Got an answer to that question?
@@dennistyler9852
Land spreading out so far and wide, keep Manhattan just give me that countryside 😁
Could you imagine being so selfish that you would have and raise children while living in these environments?
Better that than no children.
@@ThisIsEddieBear Would you rather die in prison or not be born at all?
@ThisIsEddieBear How so?
There's a common denominator in those places
Yea, they got destroyed by wyte supremacist red lining policies and the government putting drugs and guns in neighborhoods
Yeah. Poverty
At 23:07 the guy with the green shirt clutching his strap, be aware of your surroundings he on point 💯
Charlie must got that Utah carry permit 😂
HOw is Chi-town not number one when they started shooting when you were filming?
The same happened in Detroit. I believe the difference is no one directly threatened him.
@@scholageemusic9373 Great point.. I was saying when he was standing on the block with the dudes and he was like did ya'll know them and the cops showed up and etc..
Look at all those hard working Americans who have time to stand on sidewalks every day for 10 hours
Why are you so racist
unemployment bruh you think theres jobs for everyone out there? lmao
@@Rosterizedthose who aren't working don't want to work.
@@xxsayabetoxx thats just a lie and you know it too
@@Rosterized there are always dish washing jobs or janitorial jobs. Quit finding excuses for everything. Get to work
I noticed that a lot of these streets in these cities are very narrow
Most of those places look like a super sized version of barber shop.
I scrolled through the video. I don’t see any danger, just block parties and people hanging outside. Cause you’re driving through areas where there’s nothing else better to do. Now you slowly creeping past people who’ve never seen you before is really dumb. Sidenote…. LA is sketchy as fuck. If anybody thinks they from the hood.. go to LA 😅 them palm trees would fool anybody. You don’t know who to trust or where to trust lol
There seems to be one common denominator in all these dangerous neighbourhoods.
Yep
Yea places you wouldn’t say what you say online, to the people in person
@@Phillyvahnso, you agree then.
@@Phillyvahn they don't even have the *alls to say it online, just insinuate.. must be an odd life on watch lists
😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 facts you can't relax and chill when your in n%$#@÷×ville
Common denominator?
Can you please list the admission price for each of these drive thru safaris?
$13.50
@26:33 LA. Was that “you better be movin” directed at Charlie. 😨
All I can say is, it's bad enough that many areas of the country are in the shape that they're in. The only benefit of cruising around these areas while recording is to spread awareness. However, the feedback is disturbing; folks are making snide, judgmental remarks in regards to people living in these areas such as "interesting that these places involve the same culture; Idaho is not blaq; work and stop making pregnancies; Democrats this and that, etc." Many of the people actually do work whether in or outside of their dwellings (self-employed). Many of them are also either working on moving to more sustainable areas, or most importantly improving the areas by utilizing their own effort (mindsets and hard-earned $$). They have the potential to provide positive tangible results to benefit their communities just like everywhere else in the world. Case in point, we're all human beings meaning we all have choices to make in our lives, and none of us are perfect irregardless of location. If any one of on here were to ask yourselves if you are a good person, would you say yes? If any one of you were to ask yourselves how perfect you are, would you say I'm perfectly perfect? There's only one answer to each question.
Bottom line, the sun shines and sets and the rain falls and stops on ALL OF US! Your life is what only you make of it. Be well, folks!
I'd say most likely the people in the video don't got much going on in life. But this isn't even close to the majority. This is more akin to rednecks and the such. Every group got them
@@bully61 Stay in the kitchen, girl.
You dont know What you are talking about
99.99% of the people in this comment section simply use these videos to feel superior to others and/or have a safe space to spout ignorant racist stuff whilst being too cowardly to admit they're racist.
They have no idea what it's really like. One of the most liked comments on this video is "it's like going to a zoo" which is insane because it means they see the every day people in this video as subhuman just because of the environment they live in. It's crazy how judgmental people can be of people they see for only a few frames in a TH-cam video
Facts don’t care about your feelings, @henrygeter1744
Should do favorite cities to record
Philly camden chicago Atlanta and baltimore his top five u 😊 happy now thank me later
@@dagreazy3815 No clearly his favorite city to record is 1 Chicago 2 Juarez 3 Detroit 4 Philly 5 la 6 Tijuana 7 Baltimore 8 Miami
10 Atlanta unthank yourself.
It's like they all have a common denominator.
All poor neighborhoods
Kind of like serial killers and school shooters, huh?
@@n1ckred B-on-W violent crime is higher than W-on-B violent crime.
@@kdyy3 Poor Caucasian neighborhoods are much safer than these ghettos. Poverty isn't an excuse.
Very very good video, thanks 👍
My Man! Nuthin beats Philly for sleazy looking streets. Filthydelphia.
Sometimes I be like "wtf is he going" this road looks like it leads to No Mans Land
What's the common denominator?
I knew LA would be number one. I can't believe how much crime I've witnessed first hand in the month that I've been here in this shit hole.
In Memphis at the beginning they were filming the music video for 'Double' by NLE Choppa and Smokepurpp
Los Angles and New Orleans had the most dangerous vibes to it. At any second, some fool thinks you are a rival gang member then shots can start firing off in your direction.
This is just a suggestion , now that all of these cities are on this platform for being the toughest cities to live ,now that we got that out the way now ,could we please stop the killing of one another we have nothing to prove let’s end the violence.
I get what you're saying but at the same time i have to say good luck with that, as long as envy, hate and jealousy towards each other exists that will sadly never happen.
@@themrworldwide preach my friend and I thank you so much for your take but what you just stated truly is the problem hands down.
@@themrworldwide As long as they keep embracing liberal core values the ghettos will never stop being ghettos.
