- East Cleveland, Ohio is one of the poorest, most abandoned, and dilapidated cities in the United States. It is UNBELIEVABLE how bad it looks. With a poverty level of over 40%, and unemployment at 175% higher than the national average, things are not looking good. These hoods are rough, with violent crime and thefts being higher than the national average as well. EC has a crime index of 14, which means 86% of cities in America are safer. This Rust Belt City has seen industrial decline since the 1950's causing the population to go from over 40,000 people to down to 13,586 in 2023 with no end in sight. This is a documentary on some of the worst areas in East Cleveland, let's check some of it out!

I May be an oddball, but when I see old homes I try to imagine how they were in their prime. The people that lived in them etc.
I do too. So sad to see such formerly beautiful architecture in such ruin.
I imagine the tenants and their families. How the lived and what was the circumstances for the final tenants.
You're not alone
John D. Rockefeller used to live in E. Cleveland around the year 1900 to give you an idea of what it was like in its prime (though in 1900 is was more rural).
I believe it was General Electric that was the main employer there and they moved their operation overseas...thus pulling the rug out from under the city.
It’s all about the $$$.
GE was located in Euclid, OH up the road.
That building @2:05, I used to live there when I was around 4/5 years old. The right side.
Then moved to the corner of Beresford and Euclid. There was a corner store called Michael's. That was early 80's.
I think I saw my old place on passed Hayden. It was hidden behind some jungle. You briefly touched Holyoke and Euclid towards the end. I used to work at the Wendy's at the top of the street in 94.
Interesting fact...
J D Rockefeller Sr owned a lot of property in that area. And he's buried at the Lakeview Cemetery.
All of that wealth surrounded by deep poverty.
My grandma lives in cleveland, we accidentally took a wrong turn from little italy into East Cleveland… and my grandma said “TURN AROUND”
I literally lived one block from East Cleveland along with several relatives that lived there.spent many summers at my grandmother’s at 131 and Shaw. Used to by my clothes and food there. I even wanted to get an apartment there once. But now it’s in such complete shambles I don’t stop to get gas there anymore. ITS A GD SHAME and so sad.
it's a shame all these towns are just left to rot when there's so many homeless people.
I don't think moving the homeless in will improve things.
This is what a third of the country looks like today, and it's only getting worse.
Imagine if they only tried a little bit to upkeep this place.
Agreed!!
The same thing that’s happened to all of the rust belt. The industries/manufacturing left. No blue collar jobs. We’re a nation of warehouses selling overseas manufactured goods.
Looks worse than Detroit. The dilapidated, crumbling, weather-worn houses all have one thing in common-Satelite dishes. Entertainment, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes...they're all that people have left for comfort. These "luxuries" are like bandages that cover the suppurating wounds of depression and despair...and most of the time, crime helps pay for these bandaids. Thanks.
I wouldn't live there if the rent was free.
It is sad but also weird, that there is still beauty in the dilapidated condition of such magnificent structures. Thanks for taking me on a ride through devastation that I would not have otherwise seen or been aware of.
This was once Rockefeller's city and he built homes for all his employees here. The homes have very good bones
East Cleveland is so bad even the stray cats stay away. 🐈
I immigrated to the US from the UK into the Euclid Ohio region. At the time Cleveland was a major industrial area, sadly it has deteriorated. Looks as if many of those properties were once upscale.
They were upscale! The richest people in the world used to live in East Cleveland. Cleveland was once a major petroleum center.
They once belonged to Rockefeller. Upscale is an understatement
what people dont understand, theres tha east side of cleveland...than there is east cleveland. it is its own city or boro or what ever
What is the mayor doing with his life besides filling his pockets? Does he even live in East Cleveland himself?
even warzones.... at least get repaired.. but this is just gutted and given up on..
I live in a city in Canada that experienced deindustrialization but you don’t see anything like this in fact there are no abandon buildings anywhere just some sort of rough areas. House prices are now rising rapidly too.
The apocalyptical landscape is unreal.😢
Nature slowly taking it all back
Your not in a dream it s real!!😂
Wish we could somehow get photos of same area say 100 years ago.
Your silence is golden, no words are needed to be said.
thanks so much for watching!
I don't get how they got brand new cars sitting on houses 130 years old. I would get in it and drive away. How does that all add up.
I'll never understand why people have to further vandalize and pollute dilapidated properties.
Me either. Just leave it alone.
FUN. They have nothing better to do. Sad
It's called the hood😅
It goes hand in hand with poverty. Not hard to contemplate at all.
I bet there is no copper left in these buildings!
It looks as if an earthquake or tornado has occurred.
Or a war!
Why is building new allowed rather than restoring old buildings and neighborhoods? It’s a waste of land and buildings. These should be renovated and reused.
Broken dreams is right. How sad. Some of those buildings must have beautiful in the day. Love your channel, great footage!!!👍
Thank you so much Susan!
They were. At least in the 70's and 80's. I left in 95.
These are really beautiful houses in Germany, such a house would be priceless. The gardens in particular are huge and beautiful.
What is the situation in what was East Germany today? Has the gov't invested to bring up their standard of living?
It's simple, this what happens when people produce less than they consume.
I am not surprised, this is the way the american society works.
Now this is my favorite city. It is like Detroit, once grand. Now other abandoned OH and PA cities are interesting but they were pretty cheap to start.
.
It is PC to blame it all on deindustrialization. Oh look. Dud you see those city leaders with their new cars? Why clean up the yard and paint the house? You won't be able to afford deluxe rims.
I did see a lot of nice cars in the streets. We traded industrial pollution and good jobs for rampant urban decay and poverty. Who's better off now?
@@1940limited Not only did the jobs leave, the good people did too., They are happy and productive elsewhere.
It's unbelievable that such beautiful buildings are allowed to deteriorate
All the empty lots you see are where homes used to be but we’re burned down during the riots of 1968. In the 50s East Cleveland was a very prominent wealthy community.
Yes it was
I could tell. What happened between the 1950s and 1968? Brookline Mass. was wealthy in the 1950s and still is. Apartments like those abandoned blocks are now high-priced condos.
Very different from Detroit and not in a good way. These houses are huge, it isn't going to be easy to fix them up, too much investment, whereas in detroit they are small houses and have a chance to get fixed up to restore the area slowly. I see no way for this place to recover.
I agree. But, the greater cleveland area does bear this distinction going forward: it rests on a backbone of a public transit system built to handle a much larger city. Individual neighborhoods and suburbs are revitalizing along nodes. If neighborhoods could be redirected along the intact lines... It's also cool to see both Detroit and Cleveland metro taking advantage of access to waterways and lakes.
Wow. The sheer number and size of these homes is jaw dropping. I would LOVE to see these myself, in person, but I think I’d be too afraid to even attempt it. Thanks for taking one for the team! 👍😊
Really tragic! All those once beautuful homes left to rot. Wow, so sad to see another town dying this way.
Drove through there back in 05 . Right by Rockefeller park and MLK boulevard. Never seen anything like this except on tv . But seeing it live , its surreal. Looks like a warzone.
Martin Lurher King doesn't go into East Cleveland
You can tell a lot of those houses were very impressive in their heyday in the 20s-40s.
East Cleveland. Come for the payphones, stay because you got carjacked.
😂😂
Looks like Detroit.
Slap a "Google Maps" placard on your car and you'll be safe.. lol
I bet the residents are so proud of their city's leadership rn 😢
GYM Jordan ? whats he doing
Hey, thanks again for showing us what’s going on out there 😐✌️
Thanks for watching Gabe!
Some would have us believe this is only in the South. So now you know and see. It’s in every state.
5:51 great car!
I noticed that, too. The impoverished can still afford that. Early 70s Monte Carlo. They're petty collectible now.
I see a lot of things that can be recycled for money.
This is where My stolen car was found
The problem is to demolish is more expensive so let the decay continue
Why can't homeless ppl move in
And what's sad is this city was once thriving 25+ years ago it has alot of potential but the city/state doesn't want to make the investment smh
You invest for return but if expenditure is far higher than income this is what happens will happen right across America as time goes by
I don't wonder about why there is more crime at those places. you could deal with it different but people are frustrated and don't care anymore.
I really don't understand why the government do nothing to help those village and city's and all the people who lives in the community to have a better life, like we have in Belgium Europe
because $
Once upon a time they were beautiful homes
Slavic village is just as bad
10:35 Wow what a beautiful place! That place must have been the jewel in the crown of that neighborhood once upon a time. With the housing crisis, it's too bad some of these places couldn't be renovated, and lived in.
What a shame.
If you start seeing empty houses you’ve already gone too far. And bless your heart if you go out there at night
Unreal - a movie set
A catastrophic level of abandonment
Even the main street looks...terrible
How can someone still live there ?
What will be of cities like this one ?
It's impossible to foresee
These houses would still go for half a mil minimum in canada lol
This should be a COD map no lie
So much abandonment and dereliction! Very sad.
no surprise since the midwest used to be the industrial center of the USA, and once all the factries left so did the good jobs
At one time, this area must have had thriving industries for locals. So sad
Yes economy was thriving but then everyone wanted bigger piece of the pie but in the end pie wasn't big enough
Glad to see they've cleaned it up
Drove around there many years ago and looked pretty much the same. Didn't see so many people on the street on my trip. I did not know that a section of any American city could get this bad. 😟
It used to be one of the richest. J.D. Rockefeller lived here.
Poverty! Greed!
We see this in alot of U.S. City's where large Industry's closed up and left towns reelin'
The working people left too.
I wonder how they police this part of the city?
They dont...
The silence in this video scratches the good part of my brain, thank you
It's so bad that places that were beautiful growing up 25-30 years ago like Maple Heights, Bedford, Fairview, Brookpark all look like trash now.
This city is about 15/20 minutes from my home .. we are still controlling our city … BUT IT IS AN ONGOING FIGHT !!!!!
Please be safe HOLA!
Thank you SO much Deborah!! HOLA!!
WTG DEBORAH!
Fifty bucks in Canada is $37 in USD?
Many large, multi unit family homes. There used to be wealth in this town.
I really love your videos. An eye opener to what so many do not see.😢
Thank you so much for watching!
😢 A horror movie 🎬 simply horrible
In cuba, beachfront property is worthless.
get a last of us Vibe
I don’t know how to explain myself, it’s kinda sad to watch that, but at the same time extremely relaxing
E 55th and Woodland Ave you can get a damn good Corned Beef Sandwich...
Still some amazing people living in East Cleveland and some good properties beyond the video. Sadly much of the decay is real and the loss of industry really crushed the economy there.
I hope you keep your windows up and your doors locked while driving thru those places. Such a sad place. It seems like such a waste of land and good buildings. Thank you. You never let us down.
Thanks so much Donna for watching!
Do the same ANYWHERE!!
I see an opportunity. Like turn this into a ECO village, and go Electric solar, and light farming.
The city needs to condemn those old properties, tear down the dilapidated buildings, and start over with tax incentives for businesses and new people to buy property. Hell, give them away to people who cna maintain them and you'll build a tax base.
Wow 😮 holy hell dead city looks bad awesome thanks biggie fan of your channel
Next on The Walking Dead.
luxury cars....deteriorated community? wonder what they do for a living?
My dad was a Hungarian immigrant that grew up on the east side of Cleveland.
Its like Detroit but on a much smaller scale
This same thing happened to East St. Louis, IL, but also many other cities. Just don't have the answer or cure to fix this situation.
Ghost town
. It reminds me of where I got my start in life, North Pontiac Michigan . Man, that was tough on me . I Remember . ~ hard life (MULDEW)
Fun fact, Eact Cleveland in particular Euclid was known as the worlds richest neighborhood, John D. Rockefeller lived here (Earths wealthiest human)
The former home of at the time earths richest human, John D.Rockefeller.
So depressing, but still, I could not stop watching.
the poor can still afford dish tv. god bless amerika.
A millionaires row before....
Not something proud to see. No jobs mean dilapidation.
А если пешком пройтись по этому маршруту? Где люди?
I know you was down on Euclid ave and Hayden ave. Next time go to Nelacrest rd too..
Stuck is a state of mind.
The Main St is heartbreaking to see, all of these buildings are beautiful in their decay. If I had billions of dollars I would choose this city to rebuild. What is sad is, our gov has the billions to rebuild...but it is never for Americans.
Those were once beautiful brick homes and buildings. What the heck happened.
