Love how you refer to publix subs! I was an Air Force wife from.lakeland florida. We traveled to several states through our career and I never wanted to come back toFlorida. My husbands parents were still here and our son and hos family. We did end up having to relocate back to florida but we retored in tallahassee. I was only happy with one thing and that was publix supermarkets.
used to deliver food really late at night in pine hills, of course i was strapped but nothing really happened. Maybe i was really lucky. I wouldn't recommend it. But if you stay in your lane you should be alright.
There is no cheap hotels there. I visited Florida twice last summer and went to Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and Miami. Everything there was about twice more expensive than things at hime
Daytona is trash. I lived in Florida for many years and went to beaches all over the state. Why Daytona is a popular destination is beyond me. Like a trailer park on the beach.
For someone like me, that has travelled the world, and lived in war torn countries and high crime counties amongst others.. these dangerous cities are quite tame to me
Sure, I get it. But did you try to raise a family or have an actual home in those places? No? Riiiiight. You can travel to all kinds of hellholes, but LIVING in them is the hard part.
Perfectly stated my friend and by the way Florida is an open carry state now. If your looking for trouble you can find it anywhere not just the cities mentioned.
I lived in Denver, Colorado for many years and I've been mugged on the street in broad daylight, my apartment was broken into and ransacked, and I witnessed a shooting. I've now lived in Miami for 15 years and (knock on wood) not one problem.
FL native and lifelong resident. I was surprised to see my home town on the list (Lake City). What Nick didn't make clear is that the overwhelming majority of reported crimes in our town are of the non-violent type. Our murder rate is about one every three or four years. Sexual assault is higher with an average of six to eight per year.
@@stevenhenry4127 Hi Steven, typical N FL mild. So far we've only had a handful of cool mornings, I believe the lowest was one or two days of around 48, quickly followed by zooming back up to 80s. Wrap and peel as the usual FL winter weather!😀
We are in Lake City right now trying to find a home to buy. We came from MS and we are amazed at how many sirens run up and down Hwy 90 every day. I mean a lot of sirens. And the homeless population is surprisingly higher than we imagined. Columbia county better step up its game before Lake City becomes another leftist city.
@@deborahsimpson2732 , well Miami just topped his list, a staunch Republican population. Colombia county is very poor. Try Alachua, wait don't - full of highly educated pinko's. The uneducated & poor, all go to Columbia county. Bonus, lower taxes too.
Orange BLOSSOM Trail!! It's always been nasty... grew up in Orlando 1983-1996. I live in Naples FL now. Btw I think its pronounced Oh-pah-lock-ah and I've never been more paranoid in my life than the many days and nights I've spent in Florida City!. Lol, great content! Thanks👍👍
I live in central Florida and I can’t wait to leave. Had my car broken into twice and my wife’s car got stolen. Drivers are terrible and people out here always looking for trouble. Tourists and snow birds moving here not to mention cost of living is crazy. Rent at a halfway decent place is around 1800-2000$ a month. Buying a house? A fixer upper could cost you high 200k.
@@alluringbliss4165 You look for the signs: Pawn shops, payday loans, pay by the minute cell phone shops (Cricket?), bars on the windows of houses and stores, general run down appearance, shitty cars, loud music coming from shitty cars. General malaise--homeless, hookers, drug dealers.
Family member has lived in Miami for some 40yrs. Not one single incident. Not one. They have no dogs, no cameras, none. Avg neighborhoods in these 40yrs. This video is a little misleading; stay away from seedy areas, drugs, etc. You will be fine.
Having lived in S. Florida, none of these surprise me. My wife had a facility in North Miami Beach that she had to go to fairly often. The problem is you have to drive through one of the worst areas in Miami to get to North Miami Beach. Anytime I took her to this facility, I was carrying my 1911, my CZ83 backup, two loaded magazines for both, a box of extra ammo for each pistol and a fighting knife in my belt. You can never be too careful.
@@AmericanaGardens No, but it was somewhere you locked your doors and made sure you had a round chambered before entering. What was crazy is 1.5 miles in you ran into a neighborhood with $1 million + houses.
@@damndisplace07 WHEN was the last time you attempted to drive to North Miami Beach? I doubt a keyboard warrior from one of the gated communities through out S. FL ventures into areas like I described; aren’t many Publix or Starbucks there. One of the policies for this facility was no visitations at night. The building was “locked down” at sunset for the protection of the residents and staff. Sound like a place you and your buddies would “hang out” at with your ridiculously raise pickups that have never seen mud?
Fascist Governor Ron DeSantis is preoccupied with banning speech, banning books, banning history, banning education. That is NOT freedom! That is FASCISM! Florida is being transformed into goose-stepping, right-wing dictatorship! Thank goodness I chose to get out of there this year!
@@scotta4620Hmm, that’s funny. There aren’t any maps of where shit has been found in the street for Florida cities. Yet San Francisco is literally one giant shit stain on the map.
No matter what you have to admit Florida is much nicer than a lot of other states the roads are so nice most of the cities are so clean and so many great natural things to see and beautiful beaches everywhere.
I live in Santa Rosa County! It’s safe unless your daughter goes for a walk in your safe neighborhood, and a bear chases her! Happened the other day! Santa Rosa has an issue right now of overbuilding, and taking the bears habitats. There used to be nothing but woods behind us, and now it’s all turning into new subdivisions. Our beaches are nice though!
When I was a kid, Orlando was a beautiful city and, we went there without any concerns about crime. We lived about 50 miles away out on a barrier Island, our doors were never locked and the car keys hung in the ignition. Now,, Orlando and Orange County are run by Democrat Administrations who also are not very supportive of their law enforcement agencies and have enacted numerous policies over the years that either drove away good police officers, or prevented the hiring of good police officers. It seems like there there has been a serious spike in crime since sheriff Berry left there about 15 years ago.. Couple this with other Democrat policies such as being soft on crime, legalizing drugs, and sweeping problems under the rug so they can hide them from tourists rather than deal with them. Then add in skyrocketing population growth, much of it coming from big crime ridden northern cities and a large illegal immigrant population. The employment base is heavy in construction, hospitality, and other service industries.. Its the perfect recipe for a new Detroit with a warm climate!
I live in Central Florida for over 40 years and it's freaking dangerous on the roads more than anything else with all these damn fools moving down here and the old folks
I got run off the road by some lunatic tailgater on 19 going through the Ocala Forest. What the heck? There was no one coming from the other direction, and I scooted over so they could pass.

@@407to618 I was born and raised in St.Louis. - have been living in Jacksonville Florida for the past 15 + years. Lived in Orlando area for a time. [ also Lake City, and a long time in Ft. Meyers Florida.]
I grew up in miami during the 70's, 80's and 90's. The best thing I ever did in my life was to say goodbye to my friends and tell my wife and boys that I love them and we are moving. We are now in North Dakota and it is cold as hell up here and we miss the beaches. Especially Naples and Ft. Myers, this is our frozen ocean of safety and even though my family is safer i still have my weapons.. These people are great up here and my kids and grandkids are safer up here. They also love the snow!
@@jean6178 we love it here. We've had to get used to the cold and snow. Serious crime is almost unheard of. Well worth us changing our lives for the safety of my grandkids. Pretty nice people for the most part. Not much to do in Grand Forks though, you have to travel a little bit.
But 500 move out and most move out after 5 years. Father was born there it is really bad. They dress it up with tourist areas. Most of the riftraft from other states go there for "freedom". Other states have bad areas but are good..Florida is bad with good areas.
I was born in Pine Hills (on Mercy Drive which they also call “Pine Kills” in addition to “Crime Hills”)…we got out fairly quick in the 80s. It’s gotten slightly better now, as well as the Parramore district, but I still wouldn’t go there at night! (Also, it’s Orange Blossom Trail, not Orange Beach Trail…I know I’m splitting hairs there). Lived in Volusia County most of my life, and even worked in an inner city school in Daytona. You’re 100 percent right, Daytona (or “Dirt-tona as a lot of people call it) can get pretty crazy after dark!
I live in Tampa now. Ive lived in Florida for 31 years but mainly on the beach. There are good areas in Tampa and bad but its getting a LOT better. Downtown has a lot of new construction and trendy condos and apartments. Has a college vibe with a lot to do. Channelside is the cruiseport area. Hockey arena is there as well as trolley cars and Ybor City. Suburb areas are incredible here like Carrollwood and Citrus Park, Westchase and Northdale, Lutz and Land O Lakes. Traffic is bad during morning and rush hours.
Levy county isn’t bad it’s where I’m from. It’s just farming. Most of north Florida is just like being in Mississippi.Perry county doesn’t exist you are pointing to Dixie county. The city of Perry is the forestry capitol of the south and is in Taylor county. Also while Jacksonville is the largest city it is because the entirety of duval county besides Baldwin and a couple other towns. Where are Belle glade and pahokee on this
I've lived in Daytona since i was 11 and I'm now 39. I've stayed in their cheap motels, I live in and have walked home from work at night, in a part of town you showed in this video, raised my kids here..and I cam honestly say I've never been a victim of a violent crime. Yes, I know a ton of people who have, but wether or nor u become a victim all depends on how you carry yourself really. Financially, this place sucks, but I can honestly say I don't live in fear...at all. When I'm in the other cities surrounding Daytona, that are not poverty stricken, that's when I get harassed, by its residents and their law enforcement...I was 2 towns over and got pulled over for a "rolling stop" and was asked by the cop over 5 times "why are you in Port orange" and my response of "I'm driving through to take my daughter and my grandson home" wasn't good enough." However, I've never had any issues here in Daytona 🤷♀️
You dared to be"poor in public"! You feind,you.kidding...Sorry you were treated that way.personally,I think it's due to the older midwesterners with thier mean spirited,"I. Got mine so fk you" attitudes.Hang in there.
Nick, I think you're confusing Panama City and Panama City Beach. They're two different cities with two different personalities. I'm not saying it makes much of a difference danger-wise. However, there are no pretty beaches in Panama City nor fancy shopping. Panama City is a paper mill town supported by an Air Force Base, Tyndall. Panama City Beach has the pretty beaches and fancy shopping. No one comes to Panama City unless it's work related or for fishing. The tourists all go to Panama City Beach. The best we have to offer in PC is Target and Uncle Ernies.
after hurricane Michael, out of state people have moved in and they're the real reasons why our crime rate moved up (I've unfortunately met a lot of these people as well as loca news).
@Steven W I totally agree. We’ve lived in Wash DC, San Antonio, Cheyenne, Japan, and Dayton, OH. Each had bad spots. In fact DC, San Antonio, and Dayton have much, much worse (and dramatically larger) bad parts of town. Places you shouldn’t/couldn’t drive in at night. I don’t believe PC is that dangerous at all. The fact there is confusion between PC and PCB in this video, really makes me skeptical of the “danger” metrics and comparisons to begin with.
Both Panama City and Panama city beach are tourists destinations. When people's talking about Panama City, they are referring to the Panama City metro area, consisting of gulf and Bay counties
I moved from Pennsylvania to Tampa in 2000. It was great! All of Tampa had a small, community oriented feel, not much traffic, easy to make friends, etc. Then in 2003 I moved to Miami to go to college, and ended up living there until 2016 when I couldn't take it any longer. I could write a book, but congestion, traffic, lack of the English language, bad drivers.... I know Opa Locka, Florida City, etc. very well, too well, yes very, very dangerous. I moved back to my old area of Tampa (Riverview) and to my surprise, the population boomed in that short time, and traffic and congestion now are just as bad as Miami. Don't get me wrong, Tampa is 100% better than Miami, but damn.... Apartments went up in every single farm and free square inch of land. I can't even leave the house for a good three hours in the morning and afternoon because you ain't getting anywhere fast. Florida is full.
you should have seen Tampa in the 80's . I remember riding in my dad's station wagon as a kid ,an hour of the drive to get there from Jacksonville, back when the 32208 zip code was a great place to live ,was just passing groves of orange trees, all shopping malls and houses now .
I used to live in Pine Hills. I went to elementary school at Mollie Ray. Back then, it was an F school. Now it's apparently an A. From what I've been told, they're really putting a lot of resources into trying to fix up the area. Paramore near downtown is way worse than a lot of parts in Pine Hills nowadays. I still wouldn't want to live there now, though, to be honest. We used to call it Grime Hills, not Crime Hills, like they do now.
I live in Ormond-by-the-Sea, just north beachside of Daytona Beach. Like any other place there are good and bad areas. I've lived here 53 years and I know which areas are dangerous. You're right, we are a tourist town and the locals dread certain times of the year when the crazies from other states flood the beach. But all in all it's pretty safe here and a lovely place to live. In Daytona Beach discretion is the better part of valor.
Same here. Lived 14 years in Hollywood Beach and now living in Miami Beach. Both beautiful beach cities. I've walked around both all hours of the day and night - safely.
Sarasota is pretty safe but even here you can find yourself in a dangerous neighborhood as a tourist. A few years ago a couple tourists took a late night walk home through a bad area and were murdered. Pretty much all the cities have some dangerous areas - Tampa, St. Pete, Bradenton, Lakeland, as so on.
Every state has violent areas. If you go to Miami, Orlando, or Daytona Beach. Just stay in the tourist areas if you dont know the neighbors and you will be safe. This is the case in most cities.
I have been living in Jacksonville for the past three years now and I feel fairly safe. Most of the time, the gun violence is between gangs. Also, a lot of the violence is in the projects on the west side of town so it’s localized.
You know what they say ? : " nice place to visit ; hate to live there, though"! (I've been there ,& had a blast : a bunch a times ! Was always glad when I got home,& back to relax ; away from the madness !
Bet Gov. DeSantis is watching this, and is like, "This is why I will not defund the police! I will take all the police officers that left agencies with mandates, and militarize them, so that they can put those criminals in their rightful place...IN HELL!!!"
It's nice to think anyone can get a handle on America's problems, but I think we're headed 3rd World--think Sao Paulo, Favelas, that kind of thing. It's a slide that you don't pull out of.
As some that is born and raised in Opa-Locka and Miami Ngl the way you talked about everyone and especially the poor (including Florida city) rubbed me the wrong way. Saying people in poverty are unintelligent is hella disrespectful.
Native Miamian here. Good video. If you visit Miami, just stay in the tourist areas, and even then, there really has been a surge in crime in South Beach at night. Most of the crime over there is committed by tourists. Locals don't linger around South Beach much. It's overrated. Opa-Locka definitely seems more calm these days, but don't let your guard down. It's definitely the place where your car will get broken into. I'm always around the inner city Miami areas, and never had a problem. Just mind your business, and you'll be good. Btw, Hialeah is pronounced *Hi-Uh-Lee-Uh*. 😂

@@thedirtybubble9613 The key word to Miami is "NW"...Stay away from the "NW" part and you are pretty safe...Until you start hitting "Perrine" and east of the freeway as you get further south...
I've lived in Florida my entire life, I live in a nice area, and my car has been stolen in my apartment has been broken into, and I've been held at gunpoint. But I still didn't appreciate the way you talked about the poor communities, not everyone who is poor is a criminal or a bad person. Crime can happen anywhere, by anyone. You should always be aware of your surroundings no matter if you are in the ghetto or in a five-star hotel
I agree. I'm born and raised in Miami and he really made this sound so black and white. Like, the reason that there are so many poor areas is because the crazy wealth gap that's only getting worse.
I’m sure this is likely true about any city, but Jacksonville is truly a tale of vastly different neighborhoods. I moved my family here about a year ago and we live in a very quiet and friendly part of town, apparently. I have no complaints about our immediate area. That said, downtown, Arlington and Northside aren’t places I care to go unless I absolutely have to.
came to jax from Chicago. lived in muray hill/riverside area most of my stay. in 8 years living in chicago in various neighborhoods....never got messed with once. in two years of Jax living, been shot at by a guy who tried to break in to my bedroom at 5am, almost got killed by a crackhead who was trying to beat a woman to outside of my apartment, and almost got robbed in broad day light right outside of a publix.
We live just south of Jacksonville and my husband works in the northwest part of the city, and its exactly how you mentioned it…. Its BAD!!!! its the kind of place that if you got a flat tire… you would just keep driving
I passed through Florida many years ago. It was all new and strange to me at the time. It seems that the suburbs worked when people had their income worked out, had their head together, and had their life together. Commuting, even for employment, seems to be failing as more ideal. Thank you for sharing helpful videos!
Serious injury, murderers, death due to Negligence, human suffering, and animal suffering means something needs to be done despite few options. It seems agriculture gets ruled out due to certain political reasons and reasoning. Since public schools are funded by tax payers there is the possibility of political duress influencing the study plan. Not all students know a full appreciation for a career as a high tech wizard. Poor grades and dropping out can be disastrous for most. It is only the few self taught and drop outs who have been successful. How much does this relate to crime in these areas?
Don’t leave out Fort Lauderdale, Fl. There’s a very big surge in crime here every single day and I don’t know how this information is being hidden from the public. But it’s bad here.
Apollo Beach isn't too bad. The People are crass, the drivers are worthy of front row parking by federal mandate. But it has beaches, access to I75, and a weed dispensary.
Not sure how this video ended up on my feed but I'm glad it did. Informative and overall very entertaining. My brother lived in Florida until he passed away a decade ago. I visited a bunch of times but never really cared for the state overall. I had to subscribe if only to see what you have to offer next.
He says opa-locka so funny it gave me the giggles.. lol but I’m from Miami.. it calmed down a lot compared to back in the day.. I lived in Miami Gardens and opa-locka never had any problems.. then again my whole family is all over Miami and it’s a bunch of us.. maybe I’m just blessed. But in my opinion it was worse back in the day & Most of them people causing trouble is dead or in jail.
I did about a two month TDY stint at Ft. Rucker once. I thought, "Cool, I'll hang out at Panama City' beach on the weekends!" It took only about two hours at Panama City to decide, "I'll think I'll drive slightly further away to Destin on the weekends."

Born and raised in Miami and its really not that bad. Key tips, don’t smile, don’t laugh, don’t look as if you’re happy as these are a sign of weakness. Keep your doors locked, carry a conceal weapon at all times, and again don’t look happy or anything pertaining to you enjoying life! Oh and when commuting make sure your windows are tinted, don’t I repeat don’t do the speed limit, doing the speed limit tends to upset people. When making right turns, make it quick bc making a right turn at a safe speed also tends to upset people. Hopefully this helps
I've lived in Jacksonville, Florida for the past 14 1/2 years, lived in the Tampa - Lakeland area for about 2 years and did 7 months TDY in the Pensacola area. Out if the three, Jacksonville is the worst. From my visits to Orlando I would say it is second. I've been to every state in the continental u.s more than three times and every major metropolitan area and it's largest cities so I'm going to say it's not a Florida crime problem, it's a whole United States problem... Ever heard of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The whole county probably has less than 75,000 population and the crime is off the chain. East Cleveland, Ohio.,,, Looks like Bearuit, Lebanon, back in the early eighties. Detroit's Cass Corridor, horrible. Moreno Valley, California.,,, matter of fact, the whole inland empire of Riverside & San Bernardino counties, protect ya neck fa sho. I don't mention the obvious areas because most people already know and or at least heard of them. DAmerikkkah is delusional and illusional yet you have to travel outside this country in order to observe this and innerstand this. The so called countries the u.s. calls third world and uncivilized have far less crime and immorality in preportion to their perspective populations than the u.s and theirs, but you can't see nor comphrend this because the u.s is a master of lies and deception.
I live in North Lakeland in that quadruple homicide was less than a mile from me it was actually my best friend's brother that was killed in his family
You are correct. The problem is that the entire USA is rife with idiots who commit crimes because there aren't strong enough measures in place to deter them. If we brought back public executions, the kind that were VERY PUBLIC, we might get back to some kind of sanity. But of course the liberals will hemm and haww and blame the victims and generally advocate for their criminal base and each year we slide a little further towards the day when a true reckoning will take place. It all could have been avoided had people just stuck to a few basic morals, but no, we had to be like animals with no restraint.

@@Rhtjr-je2li No sir I was raised and went to school in East Cleveland... Rozelle Elementary, Kirk Jr High and Shaw High School. And yes of course it was nice when we moved there from Cleveland in around 1969-70. East Cleveland was John D Rockefellers home and playground back in the early 20th century. I left to go n the service in early to mid 81 and it was still nice yet most of Cleveland was pretty nice prior to the the steel, auto, and heavy industry vacating the Northern industrial States. That started around the late 60's to early 70's and snowballed into the mid eighties when by that time people were losing homes due to banks repossessing them from underemployed people because the jobs left. By the mid to late eighties the the crack epidemic had all but consumed E.C., along with some very corrupt city commissioners, mayor's and police chiefs.

being 21st puts us more into the middle. And yes. all states have their "interesting" places. I remember wonderful days on Daytona Beach before I moved to FL. I have been there twice since and had no trouble. However, it is, like many places, going downhill fast.
It is a prison world we're living in. I always said to myself, I always lived in little towns in my time. But living in these big cities regardless of what state you live in, they're not safe. But in these little towns, there less crime. But in these big cities, there's high crime. Be careful.

I always found Florida...and especially Miami.... such a wonderful and fun place to visit, especially if you come from the north in canada like me where its cold lol. But Ive always sensed its a place thats meant to just be visited and not somewhere to live or raise a family. Ive even seen residents beg people to stop moving there so maybe ill try and convince my mom to not retire there like she wanted😅
I have lived in Miami for over 50 years & there are crimes like there are in all big cities and even small ones but I have never had any problems. I was brought up here and my kids too, and I still love Miami. I have been in Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, S. & N. Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Utah, California and Oregon, have found just as much crimes if not more in some of those states (not all), where I have been scared of even sightseeing. So I would say right now crimes have increased heavily are happening everywhere and just depends what areas you go to.
Most Residents aren’t actually born in Florida, a lot of us are from somewhere else! We can’t really complain if people move here. But Florida is the fastest growing State in America. Tell your mother to come on down, if she wants! Just research the area before moving.

For those of you who did not grow up in Florida there's and important piece of missing information. A lot of "hardcore" Floridians hate newcomers coming to Florida. They don't like people who are liberal and well you know. They will go to any extent to "keep their Florida pure " including making people fear moving to Florida. Also, even though this guy did not "say" poor or black communities, those of us who live in Florida know the neighborhoods and those are the neighborhoods he has in this video. This video is the classic passive macro aggression that non-white people deal with. He makes it sounds like people are just running around committing crimes. FALSE. If the law enforcement agencies did better with cleaning up gangs, drugs and gun trafficking the crime rates wouldn't be so high. Most crimes happens within a bubble. You stay out of the bubble you don't deal with the crime. I was born and raised in Florida and I have never been robbed, held at gun point attacked or any of those things AND I have lived in the so called "not safe neighborhoods " so this video is horrible and not an accurate reflection of Florida.

Orlando..right now is dealing with a kidnapping crisis..
@@rash15 wait what?
Orlando has a couple nice areas like winter park, maitland etc but overall not a fan.
When I was a kid, Orlando was a beautiful city and, we went there without any concerns about crime. We lived about 50 miles away out on a barrier Island, our doors were never locked and the car keys hung in the ignition. Now,, Orlando and Orange County are run by Democrat Administrations who also are not very supportive of their law enforcement agencies and have enacted numerous policies over the years that either drove away good police officers, or prevented the hiring of good police officers. It seems like there there has been a serious spike in crime since sheriff Berry left there about 15 years ago.. Couple this with other Democrat policies such as being soft on crime, legalizing drugs, and sweeping problems under the rug so they can hide them from tourists rather than deal with them. Then add in skyrocketing population growth, much of it coming from big crime ridden northern cities and a large illegal immigrant population. The employment base is heavy in construction, hospitality, and other service industries.. Its the perfect recipe for a new Detroit with a warm climate!
Orlando was always a crazy place after dark back when I was a kid.
Pine Hills was pretty wild too.

Ah, another video on Florida. This'll be interesting to see what cities are on here.
One must consider Florida has about about 1,000 people moving into the state everyday. No telling what we are getting from other States.
Great point! Florida is very diverse, people love calling FL crazy but like you said, it could be coming from the transplants..
But 500 move out and most move out after 5 years. Father was born there it is really bad. They dress it up with tourist areas. Most of the riftraft from other states go there for "freedom". Other states have bad areas but are good..Florida is bad with good areas.
Obiden is flying in illegals by the planeload.
I was born in Pine Hills (on Mercy Drive which they also call “Pine Kills” in addition to “Crime Hills”)…we got out fairly quick in the 80s. It’s gotten slightly better now, as well as the Parramore district, but I still wouldn’t go there at night! (Also, it’s Orange Blossom Trail, not Orange Beach Trail…I know I’m splitting hairs there). Lived in Volusia County most of my life, and even worked in an inner city school in Daytona. You’re 100 percent right, Daytona (or “Dirt-tona as a lot of people call it) can get pretty crazy after dark!
I live in Miami, and I assure you those neighborhoods get bad on the night, but during the day is quite alright.
I agree with you about Miami because I was born and raised in Little Haiti it good during the day but during the night it be shooting alot.

I've stayed in their cheap motels, I live in and have walked home from work at night, in a part of town you showed in this video, raised my kids here..and I cam honestly say I've never been a victim of a violent crime. Yes, I know a ton of people who have, but wether or nor u become a victim all depends on how you carry yourself really.
Financially, this place sucks, but I can honestly say I don't live in fear...at all. When I'm in the other cities surrounding Daytona, that are not poverty stricken, that's when I get harassed, by its residents and their law enforcement...I was 2 towns over and got pulled over for a "rolling stop" and was asked by the cop over 5 times "why are you in Port orange" and my response of "I'm driving through to take my daughter and my grandson home" wasn't good enough." However, I've never had any issues here in Daytona 🤷♀️

Nick, I think you're confusing Panama City and Panama City Beach. They're two different cities with two different personalities. I'm not saying it makes much of a difference danger-wise. However, there are no pretty beaches in Panama City nor fancy shopping. Panama City is a paper mill town supported by an Air Force Base, Tyndall. Panama City Beach has the pretty beaches and fancy shopping. No one comes to Panama City unless it's work related or for fishing. The tourists all go to Panama City Beach. The best we have to offer in PC is Target and Uncle Ernies.
Lived in PC long time ago when it was safe & beautiful..never going back
after hurricane Michael, out of state people have moved in and they're the real reasons why our crime rate moved up (I've unfortunately met a lot of these people as well as loca news).
@Steven W I totally agree. We’ve lived in Wash DC, San Antonio, Cheyenne, Japan, and Dayton, OH. Each had bad spots. In fact DC, San Antonio, and Dayton have much, much worse (and dramatically larger) bad parts of town. Places you shouldn’t/couldn’t drive in at night. I don’t believe PC is that dangerous at all. The fact there is confusion between PC and PCB in this video, really makes me skeptical of the “danger” metrics and comparisons to begin with.
Both Panama City and Panama city beach are tourists destinations. When people's talking about Panama City, they are referring to the Panama City metro area, consisting of gulf and Bay counties
True. Panama city beach is beautiful BUT it's an overcrowded, overpriced RIP off. I will NEVER go back there again. The traffic is maddening.
When it comes to Miami, anywhere east of Miami International Airport, you should keep your guard up.
Don’t forget about Goulds.
I moved from Pennsylvania to Tampa in 2000. It was great! All of Tampa had a small, community oriented feel, not much traffic, easy to make friends, etc. Then in 2003 I moved to Miami to go to college, and ended up living there until 2016 when I couldn't take it any longer. I could write a book, but congestion, traffic, lack of the English language, bad drivers.... I know Opa Locka, Florida City, etc. very well, too well, yes very, very dangerous. I moved back to my old area of Tampa (Riverview) and to my surprise, the population boomed in that short time, and traffic and congestion now are just as bad as Miami. Don't get me wrong, Tampa is 100% better than Miami, but damn.... Apartments went up in every single farm and free square inch of land. I can't even leave the house for a good three hours in the morning and afternoon because you ain't getting anywhere fast. Florida is full.
Sad right smh
I just did the Same thing! Moved from Northeast PA to Tampa. Definitely would rather be in Tampa than a lot of other places i've seen down here.
you should have seen Tampa in the 80's . I remember riding in my dad's station wagon as a kid ,an hour of the drive to get there from Jacksonville, back when the 32208 zip code was a great place to live ,was just passing groves of orange trees, all shopping malls and houses now .
Florida definitely needs to build up more.
Yeah hanging out in Florida City and Opa Locka menas either you are black or a drug addict. Thanks God you left Miami.
I used to live in Pine Hills. I went to elementary school at Mollie Ray. Back then, it was an F school. Now it's apparently an A. From what I've been told, they're really putting a lot of resources into trying to fix up the area. Paramore near downtown is way worse than a lot of parts in Pine Hills nowadays. I still wouldn't want to live there now, though, to be honest. We used to call it Grime Hills, not Crime Hills, like they do now.

I live in Ormond-by-the-Sea, just north beachside of Daytona Beach. Like any other place there are good and bad areas. I've lived here 53 years and I know which areas are dangerous. You're right, we are a tourist town and the locals dread certain times of the year when the crazies from other states flood the beach. But all in all it's pretty safe here and a lovely place to live. In Daytona Beach discretion is the better part of valor.

The West Side of Pensacola (Pensakilla) is also a pretty crazy place due to poverty and crime. Fun times.
Sarasota is pretty safe but even here you can find yourself in a dangerous neighborhood as a tourist. A few years ago a couple tourists took a late night walk home through a bad area and were murdered. Pretty much all the cities have some dangerous areas - Tampa, St. Pete, Bradenton, Lakeland, as so on.
Yikes! Where was that
I am not privileged to say but it was very late night on the north side.

Since public schools are funded by tax payers there is the possibility of political duress influencing the study plan. Not all students know a full appreciation for a career as a high tech wizard. Poor grades and dropping out can be disastrous for most. It is only the few self taught and drop outs who have been successful.
How much does this relate to crime in these areas?
Where exactly did you pass through to? Florida is a peninsula at the bottom of the country.

I have visited Miami, Alachua County and Gainesville. The Fountain of Youth was revealed to me.
@@dandavatsdasa8345 great.
Thanks for the update. Keep making videos.
Don’t leave out Fort Lauderdale, Fl. There’s a very big surge in crime here every single day and I don’t know how this information is being hidden from the public. But it’s bad here.
Which parts ? I’m moving to Lauderdale next month i have been looking at places just need a good area there
criminals seem to follow them...same with Palm Springs CA
I’m on a flight to Florida right now lol
😂😂😂
Bring back Cops
Apollo Beach isn't too bad. The People are crass, the drivers are worthy of front row parking by federal mandate. But it has beaches, access to I75, and a weed dispensary.
dispensaries saved my life!
@@lorelailaval7676 Mine too.
Not sure how this video ended up on my feed but I'm glad it did. Informative and overall very entertaining. My brother lived in Florida until he passed away a decade ago. I visited a bunch of times but never really cared for the state overall. I had to subscribe if only to see what you have to offer next.
Oh there's a lot more where that came from I tell ya
Thats funny, cause Florida does not care about you.
In breeders stay away
He says opa-locka so funny it gave me the giggles.. lol but I’m from Miami.. it calmed down a lot compared to back in the day.. I lived in Miami Gardens and opa-locka never had any problems.. then again my whole family is all over Miami and it’s a bunch of us.. maybe I’m just blessed. But in my opinion it was worse back in the day & Most of them people causing trouble is dead or in jail.
I agree...
Soo funny how he says Opa-locka ..he's saying it incorrectly. The narrator doesn't know.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL 🏆
I did about a two month TDY stint at Ft. Rucker once. I thought, "Cool, I'll hang out at Panama City' beach on the weekends!" It took only about two hours at Panama City to decide, "I'll think I'll drive slightly further away to Destin on the weekends."
@@Panduhmoniam I very much agree. I visited Destin almost every weekend after my experience at Panama City.
What kind of punishment were you serving to get stationed at Fort Rucker? Haha. Been there done that.
@@elliebellie7816 TDY for the flight surgeon's course. I have to say, it was one of the more enjoyable TDY assignments I ever had. The course was interesting, and I was able to spend weekends on the beach.
I m glad you feel that way .Keep on trucking .
I was TDY at Tyndall in 82. We went into Panama City and had a ball. I guess times have changed. It's sad, really.
I'm a 6th generation born central Floridian. I've lived from Daytona- Orlando. I just bought a home in Michigan & got out. Ppl ask why I left paradise & I reply it's not paradise. I went from living in a city of 90k to 30k. Now that's my paradise.
Born and raised in Miami and its really not that bad. Key tips, don’t smile, don’t laugh, don’t look as if you’re happy as these are a sign of weakness. Keep your doors locked, carry a conceal weapon at all times, and again don’t look happy or anything pertaining to you enjoying life! Oh and when commuting make sure your windows are tinted, don’t I repeat don’t do the speed limit, doing the speed limit tends to upset people. When making right turns, make it quick bc making a right turn at a safe speed also tends to upset people. Hopefully this helps
We need a Nick Johnson/ World According to Briggs collab video!!
I agree
yes it’s crazy dangerous here! don’t move here! stay safe in your own state! beware!!
😁I see what you did there!🤣
I agree lol 😆
Especially if they're coming from Cali or New York 🤷🏾♀️
Agreed.
hahahaha Good one!!! YES STAY AWAY
Spring break in Miami Beach looks like Juneteenth with all the homies. Crime has skyrocketed since they've taken over the place in recent years.
I've lived in Jacksonville, Florida for the past 14 1/2 years, lived in the Tampa - Lakeland area for about 2 years and did 7 months TDY in the Pensacola area. Out if the three, Jacksonville is the worst. From my visits to Orlando I would say it is second. I've been to every state in the continental u.s more than three times and every major metropolitan area and it's largest cities so I'm going to say it's not a Florida crime problem, it's a whole United States problem... Ever heard of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The whole county probably has less than 75,000 population and the crime is off the chain. East Cleveland, Ohio.,,, Looks like Bearuit, Lebanon, back in the early eighties. Detroit's Cass Corridor, horrible. Moreno Valley, California.,,, matter of fact, the whole inland empire of Riverside & San Bernardino counties, protect ya neck fa sho. I don't mention the obvious areas because most people already know and or at least heard of them. DAmerikkkah is delusional and illusional yet you have to travel outside this country in order to observe this and innerstand this. The so called countries the u.s. calls third world and uncivilized have far less crime and immorality in preportion to their perspective populations than the u.s and theirs, but you can't see nor comphrend this because the u.s is a master of lies and deception.
I live in North Lakeland in that quadruple homicide was less than a mile from me it was actually my best friend's brother that was killed in his family
You are correct. The problem is that the entire USA is rife with idiots who commit crimes because there aren't strong enough measures in place to deter them. If we brought back public executions, the kind that were VERY PUBLIC, we might get back to some kind of sanity. But of course the liberals will hemm and haww and blame the victims and generally advocate for their criminal base and each year we slide a little further towards the day when a true reckoning will take place. It all could have been avoided had people just stuck to a few basic morals, but no, we had to be like animals with no restraint.
Mind blowing someone knows about Pinebluff Arkansas my home state nobody has no idea about that place
@@tae.freshy4637 yep use to play pool and down a few beers after work at White's west side pool hall back a while, Basco' liquor store, p.j.'s club heard they been closed though.
@@Rhtjr-je2li No sir I was raised and went to school in East Cleveland... Rozelle Elementary, Kirk Jr High and Shaw High School. And yes of course it was nice when we moved there from Cleveland in around 1969-70. East Cleveland was John D Rockefellers home and playground back in the early 20th century. I left to go n the service in early to mid 81 and it was still nice yet most of Cleveland was pretty nice prior to the the steel, auto, and heavy industry vacating the Northern industrial States. That started around the late 60's to early 70's and snowballed into the mid eighties when by that time people were losing homes due to banks repossessing them from underemployed people because the jobs left. By the mid to late eighties the the crack epidemic had all but consumed E.C., along with some very corrupt city commissioners, mayor's and police chiefs. I was raised with and went to school with some of the officials, and some were the parents of classmates, but this problem wasn't and isn't exclusive to any one particular area yet permeates the lower 48 states.
@7:04-@7:08.. that "woman" looks awefully a lot like a man 😱
That’s what I was thinking!
@@PETER394100 same here!
being 21st puts us more into the middle. And yes. all states have their "interesting" places. I remember wonderful days on Daytona Beach before I moved to FL. I have been there twice since and had no trouble. However, it is, like many places, going downhill fast.
This is what happens when you hate, harass and punish the police for doing their jobs and being sweet and cozy and loving to the criminals.
Demographics will tell you the most dangerous cities
This video should just be called "hey we hate poor people"
The way you pronounced some of these cities irked my nerves as a native Floridian 😭
That Oppa Locka did it.. im from broward lol
😁Vero !
Like when tourists visit Maine and mispronounce Bangor. It’s Bang - gore
“Danger Tour” hilarious. I was screaming!
KT 💙
Hello Katie how’s the weather over there
It is a prison world we're living in. I always said to myself, I always lived in little towns in my time. But living in these big cities regardless of what state you live in, they're not safe. But in these little towns, there less crime. But in these big cities, there's high crime. Be careful.
I think he meant, orange blossom trial, not orange beach... we call it obt
Stay away from the cities and your good!
What do you suggest we stay in ?
@@TheOnlyOneStanding8079 in rural areas. Like Vermont, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas, or New Mexico. Your likely to stay alive in those places
@@Bobby.samuel You see you know what I'm talking about. Thank you ...Some people are Axxhxxxs
Also, Nick, are you the new Miami Vice?? Is the Special Police a new unit? lol loved it!
I am not BUT I could have been a Crockett or a Tubbs :)
The Publix sub was a nice touch.
I always found Florida...and especially Miami.... such a wonderful and fun place to visit, especially if you come from the north in canada like me where its cold lol. But Ive always sensed its a place thats meant to just be visited and not somewhere to live or raise a family. Ive even seen residents beg people to stop moving there so maybe ill try and convince my mom to not retire there like she wanted😅
I have lived in Miami for over 50 years & there are crimes like there are in all big cities and even small ones but I have never had any problems. I was brought up here and my kids too, and I still love Miami. I have been in Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, S. & N. Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Utah, California and Oregon, have found just as much crimes if not more in some of those states (not all), where I have been scared of even sightseeing. So I would say right now crimes have increased heavily are happening everywhere and just depends what areas you go to.
Retire elsewhere and pray!
There are safe places to retire in Florida, just do your research first!
Most Residents aren’t actually born in Florida, a lot of us are from somewhere else! We can’t really complain if people move here. But Florida is the fastest growing State in America. Tell your mother to come on down, if she wants! Just research the area before moving.
Can’t wait to see you do Atlanta. Certain parts of my city are a warzone lol
Really ? I thought Atlanta Georgia was a good city and state
@@TheOnlyOneStanding8079 every city has it's good and bad sides never been to the atl but the city is growing overall I think it's great place to live.
@@demarcobennett9694 but what part of Atlanta is good ? And dont mention the rich nieghborhoods because I know that already
@@TheOnlyOneStanding8079 Atlanta is a terrifying place. What dream are you in mate?
@@roarshaktcg what dream you say? I'm California dreaming like the song...Lol ...We live well in California
I live in Ocala it's mostly quiet and I like it. Not too much crime. It could be because there are several large correctional facilities here. I keep meeting retired prison guards.
Same to both of those
Just bought a place in Ocala.
@@Jmack1lla Only those who want trouble. That's why it's nice here.
Am looking for another place to stay in Florida i need another place to live
@@Jmack1lla I agree. It's hard for younger people. It was impossible where I came from, across the river from D.C. That's why I came down here.
But it's changing now.
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and Pine Hills is sad it’s teenagers killing each other because they have no hope and nothing to live for
I think they make that area this way so the big industry cats can buy it up. Just sayen.
Downtown Orlando is sooo bad. My home. My old stomping grounds.I will not live in my favorite place . Downtown Orlando. Because of crime. Going to the laundry matt is scary
Hello Nancy how’s the weather over there

Another great video Nick, stay safe while making your videos out there in the trenches😜
I love the costume!! I had a good chuckle! Awesome! Yes, I have heard intense stories from Florida! Good Times for sure. :)
Costume?? That's my work shit
@@NickJohnson Hi, Nick! You may want to report, Governor of Florida, de Santis, is offering 5K to police willing to relocate in Florida! Isnt it nice?

spewing lies!!
Boo Hoo 😭

This video was so true especially about Miami I was born and raised in Miami FL and it was horrible grow, up in this state I finished Jr College and moved to Atlanta GA the mentality of FL is by far horrible I don’t miss that place at all!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who did not grow up in Florida there's and important piece of missing information. A lot of "hardcore" Floridians hate newcomers coming to Florida. They don't like people who are liberal and well you know. They will go to any extent to "keep their Florida pure " including making people fear moving to Florida. Also, even though this guy did not "say" poor or black communities, those of us who live in Florida know the neighborhoods and those are the neighborhoods he has in this video. This video is the classic passive macro aggression that non-white people deal with. He makes it sounds like people are just running around committing crimes. FALSE. If the law enforcement agencies did better with cleaning up gangs, drugs and gun trafficking the crime rates wouldn't be so high. Most crimes happens within a bubble. You stay out of the bubble you don't deal with the crime. I was born and raised in Florida and I have never been robbed, held at gun point attacked or any of those things AND I have lived in the so called "not safe neighborhoods " so this video is horrible and not an accurate reflection of Florida.
you must be live in Pine Hill ( Orlando ) ?
THANK YOU!!!! I AM A LIFE LONG FLORIDA RESIDENT ALSO!
@@Art_thecl0wn Hell yeah!!!
