You back at this "hole" again. I just re saw the video of when you went there originally. Nothing changed, Lol!! I always said you must have strong legs b/c of all the walking & riding you do. Now I think your arms are strong too. Carrying your bike down the stairs of subway is no easy task. 😁🏋🏽♂️🚶🏽♂️🚴🏽♂️😉
Hi from Ozone Park! Nice to see the hole being featured. It’s sad how neglected it is, I wish the city would do something about it. I see it every day and it saddens me to see how neglected it is.
Wow Action Kid you were in my neck of the wood I live on Drew st in the apartment complex there I been in the Hole back in the day 😊...anyway thanks for this it was cool seeing you ride in my hood lol be safe out there.
You CAN'T do anything about the flooding. It's called "the hole" because its LITERALLY 30 feet below grade. And it sits right on top of the water table. This is why it isn't and cannot be connected to the city sewer system. The only way to remediate it would be to level everything and fill in those 5 blocks with soil or something. But do you have any idea what that would cost??? Pigs will fly over City Hall before they do anything about that area! Especially since its not exactly the Rockefeller's living there!
Wow I just saw this video I’m fairly new and have been going through old videos when I have time. This was a big shock to my system. I never expected to see conditions like this. May I ask what area this is in? I’m not from the NYC area.
@@paulabarton9493 Welcome! I remember when I first started with TH-cam back in 2005! And I've seen a LOT if changes since, none for the better! To answer your question, "the hole" is in East New York. It literally straddles itself between two boroughs, Brooklyn and Queens. New York City is made up of 5 boroughs. Could you ever imagine parts of the United States let alone New York City looking like that? This kind of area is more common in American cities than people realize.
@@retroguy9494 yes I was just so shocked at how run down the area was. I thank god that I have never seen that type of devastation before. But on the same hand it’s very sad to see. Thanks again for the reply I am very thankful for ken and his Chanel.
Are people in NYC pretty cool about you taking your bike onto the subway? I know in Michigan our bus system allows us to put them on a rack on the front of the bus. Just curious how welcoming they are out east. thanks for the video!
This looks like the poor rurar sides of Europe, but still cool to see. Human beings live there and we must not look away. And who says they are not happy there? Simple life is the most honored kind of living. Stay well!
@@arany_alexander7130 I didn't noticed so I'm not willingly ignoring. But it is what it is in some places in the world. Any country has this kind of living unfortunately.
Always passed by there when I used to live there always wondered if people lived in those hose down by the end of the road right where the dirty puddle of water collects
It’s a strange area, some nice homes and apartments but lots of litter and land where nothing has been built on, presumably after there was a lot of demolition.
Have you thought about making a video about what gear you recommend for those wishing to ride bicycles through city locations? In your longer video from Astoria to The Hole posted last week you mentioned having a rearview mirror, two horns and lights you can turn on. Beside the bike, what's your list of items every city biker should own?
@@eddiew2325 I said “much *like* the *poverty* in the Skid Row area.” SR is only used as a reference for comparison to “The Hole.” But then, no area in the US could have compared to the “Beirut” war-like conditions of some areas in the Bronx, when I drove through (for the first time) in 1986. And I was in Guatemala during the early 80s. But, the Bronx had it beat
There is no sewer PERIOD! That's because its 30 feet below grade and just slightly above the water table. A lot of that water you see is NOT rainwater if you know what I mean!
I'm sorry this video is not fair. You literally rode through maybe a block of "the hole". If you stopped to actually speak to anyone you would realize it's a very quiet area and the residents are on the whole friendly. They have a lot to deal with. The city has been promising to fix this for years and hasn't.
I accidentally drove through here attempting to get to a Howard Beach address via my GPS 😑. I was thankful my car made it through what looked like lakes of water lol. In the end, I had to abort the whole mission and never found the address...
LA has palm trees and sunny beaches hollywood. New York has sewer rats projects graffiti everywhere LA is where the stars go thats the ritz carlton LONG LIVE NEW YORK 💪🗽🗽🗽
@@rbu500 Strawman argument. Being born into poverty in the United States does not guarantee you'll be living in poverty later on in life. I'm talking about choices like substance abuse, being a criminal, not managing money well, dropping out of school, spending all your income, not exercising common sense, being lazy, choosing not to work, having children before you're married, having children when you can't afford them, always adopting a victim mentality, or any combination of those factors. Things like those are the leading causes of poverty in this nation.
I remember this walk back in August last year ak ....thanks again for the Excellent ride back in time

It looked more flooded on this visit than last time!
Great video. I've lived on the upper east side of Manhattan for most of my life. I didn't even know these neighbors existed.
The Action Kid going where the tourists don't. Keeping an eye out for wild dogs.
😂😂
Waiting for Brad Pitt to pop out if the caravan saying “d’ya like dagsssss?”
Thanks!
Wow..you explore it all!! Thanks AK❣️
Very nice episode , thanks for sharing! Greetings from Sweden
What a Brilliant View of NYC Thanks and Keep safe, 👍😊
I clicked on exploring the hole and found myself here. I expected more beads or something. Action Kid nailed it. He nailed "the hole" 👍
That's what she said 😏

Hello, AK, thank you for exploring this quiet neighborhood.
Howdy
You're welcome!
Thanks. I wish NYC would get in there and clean it up and fix the flooding situation. No one should have to live like that.
I wish the flooding issues are resolved soon too!

Thank you
Good work kid New Yorkers are watching
Wow, ActionK, your camera is so clear! Thank you for taking us.
Are people in NYC pretty cool about you taking your bike onto the subway? I know in Michigan our bus system allows us to put them on a rack on the front of the bus. Just curious how welcoming they are out east. thanks for the video!
"BE the Hole" (ala Fort Lee, NJ's slogan) LOL! LOL!
Thanks ActionKid very interesting video 🙏
Hey Kenneth welcome back.. Lol 😂
Reminds Me of some rundown Southern Cities/Towns except for HUGE Brooklyn Housing Projects Nearby!

Let’s just ignore the fact that there was a playground on top of a mafia graveyards

These aren’t neighborhoods, these are car graveyards. Nobody lives there
@@mml1426 OK
@@mml1426 Are you KIDDING me dude!????? You bet your sweet bippy people live there! As hard as that is to believe.
Looks like the city looks the other way. They have newer cars than mine. And a far cry from the cities in Florida you visited!

Was actually thinking of this area during yesterday's storm
Aaaay Dios mio! Please ActionKid and safety! Keep watch safe and be careful! 😑😮😨😲👍
They should have regular tours of THE HOLE for out of towners right after they tour TIMES SQUARE , This place is the real NYC .
No they shouldn’t tourists and people from out of town ruin the whole nyc culture
It really is the real NYC, this is the place they talk about if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere . . .
I like your bike!
I hope they add the streetcar there. It would be a great boost for those neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens
the streetcar? neither brooklyn or queens have streetcars
@@lorenzojoneson they will be adding the IBX there
@@dannyboy34677 nice. that's still not what a streetcar is though.

Action kid in the hole again you got to love it!!
Here in The RGV, TX we don’t have that much trash. We try to keep it clean if you have a lot of trash in your house the city will give you a ticket.
Here in El Paso , Tx...our town is infested with litter.
Problem is New York is an island and so trying to get rid of trash can be a bit of a problem.
AK, maybe you could take a walk with Louis Rossman?
:)))
I like these kinda videos
Great video
Are you on a Segway with a helmet cam? What a great idea!!
Ah, it’s a bike. Still very cool.
I was holding my breath. Scary.
Woow nice biking..
Hey, not fair. You mention all other places. Where is this? I found it, Brooklyn.
The hole is on the border between brooklyn and queens..
And Staten island
@@eddiew2325 No lol
@@therealworld7351 how u kno
@@eddiew2325 I live in Staten Island lol
@@therealworld7351 lol
Parts of it kinda reminds me of the area that had been White Sands in Brooklyn by Coney Island. Much of it gone after Home Depot came in
Much like the poverty in the Skid Row area in LA. But SR is more industrial.
Lol no
It's nowhere close to being as bad as skid row

It's actually very quiet and the people that live over there are friendly. I live down the block.
Looks so naughty. I'd have probably browned out walking down those subway steps🚶♀️
I bet all that standing water smells great
Kid puts the action in Action Kid 🌃
For some reason, this area never had city streets with storm water sewer installed
There is no sewer PERIOD! That's because its 30 feet below grade and just slightly above the water table. A lot of that water you see is NOT rainwater if you know what I mean!
I wish you had a better camera, but all in all thanks for the tour. Love NEW YORK CITY.
New York has one of everything.
You know how many people been taken to the hole ?
A lota guys been down there and never come back
I Like Your Channel 🤗
Kenneth i want to buy e scooter,what kind do you have? Any information ,about ,brand ,cost ?

why is there water in that street like all the time. its on google maps to!
Are people living in those trailers ?

Kinda kick-ass subway station in this place?
Damn where is that?
This place is still stuck in the 90’s, no progress, just poverty
1990's?????? Try the 1970's......when the city went bankrupt and President Ford refused to help.
Is this an actual neighbourhood
You should go to Hunt's Point.
How much is the rent there?
My family has lived here from 1901 to 1995
Careful out there these days
Compared to L.A., this looks like the Ritz-Carlton.
LA has palm trees and sunny beaches hollywood.
New York has sewer rats projects graffiti everywhere LA is where the stars go thats the ritz carlton
LONG LIVE NEW YORK 💪🗽🗽🗽
Kid’s real quiet in this video
You should get a Kaabo Wolf King.
Looks unsafe, you're brave
Good sir 😃
Be careful
Calling this a neighbourhood is being very generous!
ActionKid, are you capable of defending yourself? I'm worried for my NYC asian brothers and sisters.
bro now is not the time to be in rough areas be carful bro please
When exactly IS the time to be in rough areas?????
@@retroguy9494 about 3-7 on alternate weekdays
@@macktasticification 😂🤣😁😜👍✔
Is this around the area where there are no subway stations around?
No subways, just the bus.
This is similar to the channel Charliebo313. He dose only rundown looking hoods
Ideal mosquito breeding ground. ouch!
Every town and city has a junk corner/side. Just be safe of biting junkyard dog’s
I beg your pardon????? MINE does NOT!
New york need a clean up
Asian man alone in NYC bad neighborhood = scary situation
That is why video is 11 minutes long He shit himself
I live there
Sorta clickbait, didn't really explore the hole. More like spent about a minute driving about it and then beat it the hell out of there.
A "hole" 'nother world hidden in a small section of the Queens-Brooklyn border.
oh I live here
I wouldn’t even go near there and I live near there
Not a good idea to ride a scooter in The Hole do to a lot of Holes in the road in the Hole 🤣 my bad he he you were on your Bike 😅
Where is everyone? It is so dirty and unclean why dont the authorities clean it up. Not the USA i know.
Жесть, ну, и дыра.)) С другой стороны, в России, за пределами крупных городов, все примерно так и выглядит.)
Please take good care! Anti-asian-american racism seems to be spreading in the US! Stay safe ✊
This kid a lot braver than I am. There ain't an Asian within a mile of that place. He must have stuck out like a fly on a white wall.
AK good reporting but no name of places we are watching, thank you bsafe
I can see why NY has a chronic rodent problems, there's trash everywhere. smh
I bet it's interesting at night. Yikes.
Looks like very unsafe neighbourhood.
It is. I use to work one block from there.
Well, NYC has a lot of trash all over the place, but yes, this is pretty run down.
Do ya like daaaaags
Just don't fall in it...
Geez there are third world countries that look better than this hole! So hard to believe this is New York City in the United States!
As of today
This has to be the crapiest looking
Negiborhood in all NY🤷🏿
Correct me if I’m wrong
You are correct.
@@blacktigeress6035 I kinda figured that!
They even got the worst of the worst in the BX beat
More trash on the streets than here in LA!
???
So sad to see. The majority of poverty in the US can be traced back to poor life choices.
Poor life choices like who birthed me?

So sorry you see it this way. Many employed Americans are one illness or accident away from homelessness and poverty.
