Im from this city born and raised. My grandmother told me during the 50s it was a great city with New York likeness to it and once drugs and uprise of violence came in the 60s,70s and 80s especially .. The city hasnt recovered much like any other big city with its crime. Some ppl in the comments say it doesn't look so bad, yeah neither does Compton with it's nice looking cookie cut neighborhoods with palm trees but go to Compton and find out then 💯 .. Same thing with Bridgeport .. Come visit and find out 🗣
The other problem is the registered voters of Bridgeport, who, election year after election year, continued to vote Democrat. Over and Over. Two former Mayors were sentenced to jail. When the people vote in corrupt politicians into office in city council, they attack big business (manufacturing). So the factories slowly close up, lay off their employees and pack up and move down South or Overseas. Then hundreds even thousands of people go on unemployment insurance for 26 weeks, and when that runs out, they sell Crack and other illegal narcotics. The problem just snowballs from there. Bridgeport was the manufacturing capital of New England several decades ago. Now that is forever gone.
I used to live in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Despite being ghetto, it defiantly was better than any of the worst hoods like Philadelphia, St Louis, south side Chicago, Detriot, and so on. It is typical major CT city that is past its glory days.
the only nice area of Bridgeport is in the black rock section as you gradually get closer to the coast. it takes millions of dollars and interested developers to clean that up. Boston as whole looks better.
Absolutely NOTHING compared to 80's. Those 1st pj's is called "The Greens" I used to hang out there sometimes. I hung out in Father Panik, "the Vil," hung out in Marina village, hung out in PT Barnum pj's, State St. w Mariano from #1 Family. Hung out in East main st. I was all over Bpt. Everywhere you went there were multitudes of people hanging out. It was alive but at the same time violent. Thank God I left that lifestyle. Not gonna lie it was fun, exciting but heartless & uncaring.
So glad I got out of this shit hole...the literal arm pit of the North East or as Family Guy roasted saying “I’ll have you know that Bridgeport is among the world leaders in abandoned buildings, shattered glass, boarded up windows, wild dogs and gas stations without pumps.”
it's actually strange Bridgeport is in the wealthiest County in Connecticut. nice towns west of there.I live in the neighboring state of Massachusetts worcester ended looking pretty rough as well as some others.
the east side of providence actually looks nice compared to other areas. it's getting expensive to buy or rent.I visit that area at times some nice restaurants mixed in. very walkable.
a lot of industrialized towns and cities in America ended up looking pretty rough. in massachusetts especially in Middlesex County it's going in the opposite direction you have earn enough to buy or rent and the renovated apartment buildings so far look nice. average $2,000 -$3,000 a month for rent. keeping the trouble out.
I hate Waterbury, living in Bridgeport was not great for 31 years but I still respect it because it helped built character, but Waterbury sucks and I hated doing jobs down there.
I remember a friend taking me through some of those Connecticut hoods. I was like "This is the hood"?? She said "Yeah, this is Connecticut, they're not going to allow our hoods to look like hoods in other states". I said "oh".
I haven’t watched yet but the “Father Panic Village” projects was wild in the 80’s I was young but watched tie news when my parents did. Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford, New Haven (my city) Ct. all have trenches believe that
Charlie Bo you be careful out there. Thanks for showing us the real world. I was born Oct 04 1963 in Saint Petersburg Florida. The addresses that end with a S or South are Ghetto. My Uncle visited here in 1992 and stated " That the South side looks like it did in the 1950's." I believe that it will look like the 1950's 50 years from now.

Most of those cars have been abandoned over a decade ago and have hobos an prostitutes living and, "working," out of about half of them. The city can not afford to get these derelict cars towed and as scrapped. Thus, the prostitutes use the old vans as, "honeymoon suites," and the hobos use some as toilets and others as motel rooms.
A lot of those neighborhoods used to be European immigrant neighborhoods many years ago. Where my father grew up in the North End, it was all Italian and is still populated by many Italians, although our numbers are waning. You should do a tour of New London, CT, around Frontage Rd / Vauxhall Rd, or Crystal Ave. Those are some rough areas.

@@travelandeats8518 first of all africa is definitely still poor. obviously there are hoods in every state with any substantial population... like I said it just feels weird. at odds with the stereotypical view of connecticut, which, yes, is extremely wealthy. I've visited connecticut before.
This part of Connecticut is even if you live in a nice neighborhood in Bridgeport you are really not that far from the hood, my parents moved us to the suburbs of Bridgeport and yet everyday I still had to go through the hood because we still weren’t far from it, I live in Ontario, California now and I haven’t seen the ghetto in this city and even if there is one it’s really far from where I live.
By population, Bridgeport's the biggest, followed by Stamford, New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury. (Though, I do predict that by the 2030 census, Stamford will be bigger just because of the massive influx of NY'rs moving into Southern CT in 2020 and 2021. And Stamford is basically on the NY border.)
