  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
  • We are visiting Brownsville, Brooklyn.... a place with a dizzying reputation of crime and violence. Historically known for being the worst neighborhood in Brooklyn with violence levels almost on par with its nasty neighbor, the ill-reputed East New York... but with gentrification encroaching this section's rugged outskirts is this the same Brownsville? Or has this neighborhood made a change for the better? Please watch and let us know what you think in the comments. Please like and subscribe! Enjoy!

    2:00 I used to live on this block for 20 years. Moved there when I was 7 and got out at 27 through hard work and determination, havent looked back since. The amount of shootings and people that died while I was there is truly staggering

      Was any of the shootings a family member or close friend?

      ​@@sportsfix6975Yep, Someone I went to Elementary with got shot a few years after we graduated. P.S.284 which appears in the video at 6:33.
      Happened when I was coming home from High School that day he died on the spot. When I was going to school over there it was many days when I had to run home cause they were outside shooting as well..

    My home town, Born in 56' Grew up in the 60/70's before going to the US Navy in 76'... Lived on Dumont Ave directly across from Besty Head Park/Pool use to play there and walk through it going to the P.S. 182? LOL!! Then we moved to ENY on Pennsylvania/Blake Ave and my last house my father bought was on Pine St / Pitkin Ave. Use go all time to Euclid Park to play Baseball/fast pitch softball, pickup tackle Football and also Stick Ball with a chalked strike zone off the concrete walls hitting towards the projects and a counted homeruns was the third floor above...

We are leaving for good in June.. this is the life from hell. Even the once nice areas are decaying quickly. Blame it on the NYC democrats.. NYC was great until democrat DeBlasio took over 89 years ago.. now Eric Adams is an other democrat hack. one party system in NY state now.. so there is no hope for the state of the city, just like Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Detroit, Atlanta,Portland, Seattle, All of NJ, CT, NY, VT, DC, IL, CA, WA, OR, PA, DE, all done. all democrat.
