@Frank White: I know exactly what you mean. I’m from Philly. I live in California now. Every time I think about going back to be near my family, which I would really love, I just can’t seem to do it. The thought of living there makes me very sad. But what scares me is The thought of getting used to it
I lived in Jamaica Queens close to brick town. Anyone from Queens knows that's a rough area. Every morning I grabbed my sidewalk broom and swept the gutters. Nobody paid me. After 3 months , other streets followed suit and cleaned their block. People behave differently when someone else shows everyone they give a damn about where they live.
When you are poor, you have less of everything in life, including money and everything that makes people humans. You don't have to agree, just live with the truth.
You would be surprised. I have been in that neighborhood, don't let the outside fool you. Some of those houses are laid out inside, you would never believe you were in the middle of all that trash.
Interesting the mix of well kept houses and decay. It’s too bad the city didn’t acquire some of them before they got so bad, fix them up and rent or sell them.
In North Philly we always got fiends digging thru the trash, big ass raccoons, and the wind itself is enough to blow trash everywhere. There's also no public trash cans up here but the city has been gradually cleaning it up.
@@gannon3816 Damn I visited Philly alone 3 weeks ago and my base was in N. Philly. I didn't realize there were no trash cans and saw the trash everywhere. The state or city or whatever needs to try harder on helping these areas.
@@gannon3816 Question, what is your experience living in North Philly? Rent is cheap there, apartments on the inside look just fine usually, but out in the street is concerning. I didn't run into issues while visiting.
I love Philly and you get much of the thrill and excitement of NYC here for half the cost. The culture and food here is amazing too. It's a tough city but it's a city of tough love. Things are rapidly changing with gentrification around Temple University and Kensington and the clash of rich people with the drug dealers and dopeheads is interesting.
Just a few observations after watching quite a few of your videos. 1 - Don't litter 2 - Clean your own sidewalk, because some scumbags always litter. 3 - Not everybody wants to hear YOUR music all day long. 4 - Have some common courtesy and get out of the street so cars can go through. 5 - Teach your children some respect, and tell them what morals are. Great vids Chuck!
They got grown men walking around all over the place that aren't even attempting to clean up the trash off the streets . Maybe black men are sorry because they're a literally just standing on the corner like statues .
Alll that is useful....when you are not mentally drained figuring out how you are going to keep the lights on or pay a doctor bill. Once the stress is erased other things tend to fall in place.
I got the Hell out of that place. Lived in Philly and hung out close to where you were and seeing that every day was very depressing. That was 23 years ago. My grandfather owned a corporation in North Philly and you could not leave an empty bag in your car because someone would assume it had something in it and they would bust the windows within minutes. That was in the 70s. Worse now.
@@The_Mavs_Are_Bums He's likely talking about two separate events, one that he himself experienced (23 years ago) and one that his grandfather did (in the 70s).
Yup! It's still terrible in Philly. I now live in a clean & safe subsidized unit down south... & I truly feel blessed to be out of all that crazy mess.
I like all of the porches, stoops and the corner buildings with the doorways on the diagonal. So much character jammed into one neighborhood. Pretty brick, interesting windows and fabric canopies. I like the variety in colors too. These driving videos are the best
Crazy how most of the areas you have shown are prime property now. You can’t help the way other live around you . You can clean up the block and people will just throw trash around again . 🤷🏾♀️
They didn't care as much as they did for wealthy areas, thats true but also there is no tax base to pay for stuff like potholes, streetlights, etc. After years and years can you blame people for giving up? They're already living in survival mode
@Argot May it simply starts with each person. Each one of them can do their part and walk out side , pick up some trash. Feel a little better about themselves and their existence.
@@anonymous0s0egion they can be picking up the trash around them, while talking and be called a respectable, clean tight knit community. Self respect goes a long way. Just simply ignoring the litter and expecting others(government) to do it is just lazy.
As long as mind your business in Philly You’ll be ok the dealers that control their block hear about a someone robbin or ripping people off they could get killed. A lot of them sketchy side streets pullin in big money everyday and they usually stay open 24 hrs like Walmart
As a Canadian I really don't know who's to blame there. Beautiful buildings disrespected abandoned, garbage everywhere. I guess Politians are too busy to remedy these problems. American Politicians and the Rich have created this problem.
Some are run-down but many houses are well-kept, freshly painted and clean. I feel sorry for those who have to live among people who choose to live in squalor. What is the answer?
@Mike Smith people take it as an insult when I say that. But it's the truth. If u want something,u have to bust your balls to get it. They just want it made easier,but it's not practical. Easier to get out of the hood would mean taking from others to do it

You make a very good point although the outside of the neighborhood looks dirty when you go inside most of these home they look like paradise. kind of strange don't you think?
This reminds me of what the Bronx looked like back in the 80's when I was a kid. When visiting family in Philadelphia as a child, I loved walking down the quiet streets and seeing these homes; My paternal grandmother had a detached home and had beautiful grape vines growing all around the top heading of her house. It is so very sad to see this blithe. Why can't the state sell these homes for like $1 and offer grants to home owners to revitalize these neighborhoods? I'm also upset to see the few people who live in the community allow garbage and filth to just sit on the streets making it a breeding ground for vermin. Pick up a damn broom and sweep your sidewalk!! A neighborhood can't run itself down only the people who live in it do. Thanks for sharing the video. Peace and love~~!!
Pizza Man why did we even need section 8? We were poor, but my father worked hard at 3 jobs to support my mom and 5 kids. (They didn't get out much) , but we never need assistance other than reduced bus tokens in order for all of us to FINISH SCHOOL.
sheacole2 I grew up poor and we had no assistance. Just had the basics and a one income family. The area was safe too. My parents had enough to flee Detroit during the riots luckily.
I grew up in Philadelphia. It was dirty just like this. It's amazing how clearly I can see why I shouldn't go back to the hood, since Daddy's dead now. I take my kind of low income housing situation down here in the South anyday over Philly. I'm poor but feeling blessed living in this old fashion, clean, safe, tiny southern town.
Hello Charlie. I live in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. Pop. of 100 thou. Your vids are a real eye opener to me. Until I came across your channel, I had no idea just how derelict a lot of US cities are. All those jobs lost, people having to move out. I hold the global scum accountable. They want the rest of the world to be poor so they can be rich.
The streets are so narrow that they have to park halfway on the curb. I felt like I was riding on the hood of your car. Felt the breeze in my hair and everything lol. Nah it's freezing in my house!!! 😰
I used to live in the Johnson Homes, What most people don't understand is most of the communities are tight knit, the neighborhood might look bad, decayed, ect... but when I lived there, when something went wrong or people needed help, the entire neighborhood was together for once.
I'll never understand why they have such horrible houses and nice cars. Like the money the spend on cars can be used to fix their homes. Guess that's why they live like that.
How about there are no jobs here, they have to travel farther out for work. Don't be so quick to judge what you don't know. Cars are very important, they are not suped up and got trims shining etc, they probably own their homes and have to have a car.
Angela Perez I live in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Most people afford living in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco and come to work to Guadalajara, all because the affordable houses are in there (Tlajomulco). They don’t spend a lot of money in cars, they take a bus and come to the city. My nieces live in Tlajomulco and study in front of my house that is the closest Guadalajara can be of Tlajomulco and it takes them one hour and a half when there’s no traffic and it can take more in mornings and nights with traffic. Now imagine someone who works or studies even farer. So don’t come and tell me I don’t know how it is because I see it everyday with family members and coworkers. They are spending money in a stupid way, that’s why they are like that.
W P I’m not white, I’m not a boy and I’m not rich, asshole. I live in other country and have to take a bus to my job everyday that takes between 60-90 minutes and I’m a lucky one, there are people who live so far away that have to take a bus for 2 hours or more because people here prefer having a nice house and fix it before having a car that you can buy later. But your stupidity makes you think everything that is against your dumb beliefs is because people are white.
Chris Bennett that’s only one part though. south philadelphia seems to be blossoming with the ole gentrification. SOME parts of west philadelphia even. it’s not that bad in those areas, but north philadelphia seems to be less taken care of.
i’ve lived in this city for 18 years (i am 18), and as i’ve grown up, i started to see a change in the different parts of philly. there are good parts, and there are bad parts.
the video is hilighting the "bad" areas of the city. There are many very nice areas in Center City and surrounding neighborhoods. However, there ARE alot of very decaying and filthy areas as well. Open air drug sales are rampant and largely contribute to the filth
Y'all are lucky. I'm a 25 minute walk from a subway station so I'm pretty much trapped in this godforsaken hellhole. I can wait for the 60 bus but that's iffy.
Larry 306 i was born in the place on the video and mail carriers have no problem in fact we know them and everyone is cool with them. It’s a post office right up the street on a block he turned on. What ppl like u fail to understand is just cuz it look bad don’t mean the ppl bad.
Morbid611 yeah, i understand. Im from the California and have never been to the north east but all the historic buildings back there appeal to me. That doesnt exist out here
This clip showcases the extent of illegal dumping in an urban area, and how the debris can persist when it is not put out properly for pick up and disposal (4:26). Yet, it also highlights how dwellers can keep their frontage remarkably clean and tidy looking (7:57) by putting in a little effort. This might be the "extremes" that your title alludes to. I very much see the decay in the neglected areas, but I also see a little rejuvenation, if not persistence, in an otherwise difficult living situation. Thanks Charlie, for the clip.
Fred Gardner philly been Democrat for 70 years....I'm was born and raised here and live still here and I'm Puerto Rican...I try to tell them about the wrong people the vote for but and they still bitch about the system they want....they are ignorant of the politics...USA was never ment to be a democracy the word is not even in the US Constitution...
The US is a republic actually. Coleman Young was one of the worst foul mouthed greedy mayors of Detroit. A big help in destroying a once beautiful city. Can see so much potential in a lot of homes. Some beautiful architecture destroyed.
Go to Camden New Jersey if you think this area is bad, just a short trip over a bridge from there. I made the mistake of going over a bridge from Phili and ending in Camden. It is real sad to see so many cities in America looking like this.
@peter papers Puerto Ricans Albanians Colimbians Whites , North Philly just like that . Of course you have areas. But people tend too themselves out here . I'm personally from Kn A area Fishtown
I got lost on foot about 15 years ago in some place just off Fairmont Park. I believe it was Strawberry Mansion -- one of the scariest moments of my life. Some guy dressed just like a pimp (maybe he was one) was following me, asking questions. Some of the downtrodden areas have gentrified. Others, like Strawberry Mansion, are apparently at the early stages of gentrification and reinvestment. The houses might be beat up, but the location is good in a lot of these areas.
how can ppl NOT care how their neighborhood looks? or the health problems associated with filth? I live in N Philly ghetto, but we try to stay on point, ya know?
Just curious.I know several people that need rides to the store because they are too far away and it is hard to carry a weeks worth of groceries on the bus.
norton wayne when you say “Americans” you mean ALL those who live in the US. Not just the whites but other ethnic groups, old people, LITTLE CHILDREN. Nice, innocent(for the most part) people who didn’t do shit to you. Please watch what you say. Maybe it’s you who needs to be washed away from this earth.
Notice even in the worst shythole parts of the cities, most of the cars are nice, newer models. Priorities. They'd rather live in a dump and have their kids live there too, but they got to have that ride. Amazing.
I noticed that too. Plus I also own a nice car yet live in the ghetto in my area lol. But in all honesty, a majority of the cars parked on the sides are priced well below $5k retail, most below $3k private party value. Easily affordable to anyone who receives government benefits, child support, yearly child income tax credits, etc. Rent and drugs being cheap and easily obtained is the icing on the cake to these people. Its all one gigantic financial game going on back and forth between the poor and the government.
Only thermonuclear annihilation, Then complete reconstruction can correct this. When folks in philly chant how great their first world shit hole is, refer them to this vid.

10:20 is the (new) Laundromat I used to go to when our washer broke. This was my block - to the right on 18th st. It totally breaks my heart to see what the neighborhood has become. Totally different from when I was a child growing up. Things had just started getting bad before I left almost 40 years ago, as home owners died and their children move away. HUD took over and everything went downhill. If people can't find decent jobs, they don't make money to put into the neighborhood - and the city couldn't care less.
Servile sodomite Kattan, no comparison to a US-bombed and US-invaded city, Baghdad. Baghdad was a well functioning city under S. Hussein, until Pentagon beasts bombed and invaded it, to destroy people and property. It has nothing to do with US ghettos! If Russia had bombed Washington, the US capital would have been worse than Baghdad has been after US bombings and destruction!
I showed your videos to my "Maidan friends" from Ukraine. They do not believe. They say it's rigged. They say that in the United States all people are very rich.
Caio Marcos: Time to start your Brazilian dream and build your own hoods. Old day American Dream now is a thing you can see only in dream, I some places people have full time jobs but still live on streets.
Thank you Pam Hunsinger! Philadelphia really isn’t a bad place. We left NYC , I was about five and then taken away in 1972 to Oregon I was only 17. You can only imagine. Like your comment
Charlie, you're in Philly, Chicago, Detroit, all over.. Do you sell real-estate or do you travel to these places for videos? You know your way around too well to be a stranger. This looks like west Philly too
There you go, Philadelphia and all it's glory. I have been called a lot of names on this channel. But everyone wants proof, everyone wants video, well there it is. I would never live in the shit hole of a city again. I grew up in West Philadelphia, left and never looked back. Keep voting for those Democrats, they will always make things better. I can see by these videos, the proof, ain't happenin'.
Thank you very much. I actually appreciate that. I do not miss it Philly and I surely do not miss dumbass, ignorant people like you. Sorry ass attitude. Why don't you go help people clean up their neighborhoods? Why don't you try to make a difference? No, just the same old, EBT cards accepted here mentality, then blame it on somebody else because the situation is messed up. Good Luck.
luxx_interior You funny guy. No man, I lived that life. I grew up in West Philly so you can talk that yang to someone else G, not over here. I do not live in the country now, but better than where I grew up. Right Wing? Well whatever you say. Say what you want, but the videos do not lie. Have a good one. LMAO. #lifeinthehood. Sorry to deliver more bad news, but alot of Black people vote Republican. I guess they are all Uncle Tom's, 'sell outs' and 'Oreos'. Yeah right
Douglas Fisher glad you got out as well. That place is a shit hole. The people who live there make it worse. They refuse to even clean up their own neighborhoods. Everyone wants a video now days. Well there it is.
Wow. All of these beautiful old buildings -- have so much potential! And, if only the people in these neighborhoods cared enough to clean up the trash -- and keep it clean -- it would make such a difference! I can only speculate that all of these places were built during the 'heyday' of Detroit's Booming Automotive Industry -- for all of the Auto Plant workers with their families needing a place to live? But, yeah, If they would only clean up the outside of the properties -- literally get out there with trash bags and brooms -- they would feel so much better about themselves and their community! It cost 'zero' dollars to clean up trash if a community comes together and does it collectively. It's sad to see the potential that's there -- and yet, nobody cares. TO: CharlieBo313 ------ >>> I just discovered your videos and I love all of them so far !! You're giving us an opportunity to see how other people live in areas that we would otherwise never see! Everyone always promotes the beautiful side of their cities -- the commercials on TV, the sitcoms and the internet never show the side that you're capturing in your videos! And, I think that you're highly intelligent and brave to go into these neighborhoods to film as you do! It is something that not many people would think to do -- except you. You're brilliant! You're an out-of-the-box thinker! I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, CA, and you would think that if you were to cruz Compton, CA, and Ingelwood, CA, that you would find it to be mostly inhabited by African-Americans -- but that's not true anymore -- not today -- not in 2018! Compton is slowly being taken over by Illegals from Mexico -- Compton is probably about 85% Hispanic now -- hardly any African-Americans reside there anymore. And, that's just so amazing to me -- WILL ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS in your videos be taken over by them as well? I guess only the time will tell !! And, the sad part is -- the illegals refuse to assimilate -- they don't want anything to do with our American culture. Here in L.A. they drive their cars blasting their Mexican cowboy music as they fly their mini-Mexico flags that they attach to their cars! Love your videos! They are so very interesting to watch! I feel as though I'm riding along with you!
I grew up in my early years in West Oaklane Penfield St . When we go back up home I will drive through Phila and it's sad what it has become. Been in Texas for years but still call Phila home . Was born in 1947 sounds like we may had known the same Phila
Hey Nancy I was.born and raised in the heart ❤️ of north Philly in the 60’s. Every Saturday people were out cleaning steps, sweeping the block down and the sanitation dept would come by and further clean by water spray from the trucks, was a beautiful place to live back then and neighbors cared about one another. I no longer live there as well. Always remember and love ❤️ Philly bc of my roots there.
I might be wrong, but saying such a thing seems to imply that when a neighbourhood is mostly white it's clean and when they all leave and black people come in, it deteriorates... Think about it.
This is around Temple University which has always been a rough area. Rather recently Temple has been pouring money into near by developments. It's bringing cleaner environments and investments to the area but it will be some time before we see this area flourish. It's a shame. These areas have alot of potential but the city ignores them
What I find fascinating when on my drive around USA on TH-cam is that no matter how run down these neighbourhoods look, there are always some lovely looking cars! How do they afford such good cars and the houses look so bad?
charlie Because of you, I became known as a life in neighborhoods life. You are by me my best friend. I love how to record events and hear everything that is happening as it is, like the sound of things in the car. i from algeria
Also, a lot of the row homes were built when people could not really afford cars and used public transportation. It is a nightmare driving on these streets. When there is snow, forget it.
Joe Kaye Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston - three of the richest cities in the US. All governed by Dems. Dallas is blue. Houston had a dem mayor until recently. Austin is booming - also blue. Out of the 10 richest states, there are only 2 that are squarely republican - Texas and Georgia. And the areas of Texas that generate most of the wealth are all blue or purple - Dallas, houston, austin and San Antonio. Good try though.
S K guess what idiot. Those cities you named are high on welfare, sh* t and trash are on the streets, they are being burned down and looted by anarchism, highest unemployment, dangerously high taxes, extremely high unemployment, corrupt politicians, most abortions, slow and nasty transportation, broken down housing, food stamps everywhere. Should I name more for you?
This is my home town. When I'm there, I feel like a child again... Memories of my late father flood my mind. When I watch videos like this it feels different. Not to be misunderstood... It absolutely looks like this. Just reading all the negative comments from people who likely no nothing about the 'hood' makes it FEEL different. Kind of like embarrassed or ashamed... But moreso mad or annoyed that I can't even defend my hometown. Just know that if you are making negative comments that indirectly insult the people who live here... The Universe won't be kind to you. BLESS.
yup looks about right..... Im in a different section but yeah... if your not from here, Philly is wild in some areas, and cleaner in others and most houses havent been assessed and cleanup is slow. Lot of people do live in poverty. We also have nicer places in Center City and mass transit. ijs.
can you do 23rd and susquehanna projects lol in one video you went right around the coner from where im from i just moved to cali and enjoy watching my hood on the tv high as a kite . its like im back home lol anyways thanks a ton for making these. CHekc out my channel if you wanna see what im up to now i move from Philly to the Mountains HOLLA
When dealing with poverty, especially within the inner city, you have to take ALL factors into consideration. You'd be surprised what you find out when you actually do the research. Be humble and don't judge because you don't know the pain that plagues these communities. Systemic oppression is real.
What I see is a city that's been severely affected by white flight. The people worth anything have all left and all that's left is a ghetto comprised entirely of young, strong but poorly educated blacks. Africa 101
I was just staying in this neighborhood. I found it to be very interesting and the people to be quiet friendly. I think there is no reason to be scared
I grew up in a hood too! A dam neighborHOOD! we were poor TOO!! Our parents and grandparents taught us that just because you are poor does not mean you have to live in filth! These are LAZY people! Cant use a broom? Pick up a piece of trash? This was probably once a nice little neighborHOOD! My gramms called people like this a CANCER!!
p1epoppa Lower or even eliminate the tax burden on these people so they can get back on there feet and provide for other important needs like food and clothing. Provide tax incentives to businesses and even help with reduce land or property price incentives in order to attract business to migrate to the area infected with leftist ideologies.

Just a few observations after watching quite a few of your videos.

2 - Clean your own sidewalk, because some scumbags always litter.
3 - Not everybody wants to hear YOUR music all day long.

Whats wrong with sitting outside with some friends and enjoying conversation? It's called a tight knit community.
lol, pretty funny
@Argot May it simply starts with each person. Each one of them can do their part and walk out side , pick up some trash. Feel a little better about themselves and their existence.
@@anonymous0s0egion they can be picking up the trash around them, while talking and be called a respectable, clean tight knit community. Self respect goes a long way. Just simply ignoring the litter and expecting others(government) to do it is just lazy.
I wonder what their homes look like if the streets are like that.
Dam, brooms must be expensive af there.
Them housewives don't have time to sweep- they're too busy raising gangstas.
And lawnmowers.
Donald King Good one haha .
All y’all dumb af. It ain’t expensive here.
Their IQ is too low for them to learn how to use a broom.
Most unfriendly people in Philly hated my time there. City of Brotherly Love my ass.
People from philly make Brooklyn look like cotton candy land 😂
@EVAN CECCHETTO Philly has a higher crime rate then Chicago...im never go back to visit smh
Lmao 😂
As long as mind your business in Philly You’ll be ok the dealers that control their block hear about a someone robbin or ripping people off they could get killed. A lot of them sketchy side streets pullin in big money everyday and they usually stay open 24 hrs like Walmart
Yeah philly is awful
As a Canadian I really don't know who's to blame there.
Beautiful buildings disrespected abandoned, garbage everywhere.
I guess Politians are too busy to remedy these problems.
American Politicians and the Rich have created this problem.
Some are run-down but many houses are well-kept, freshly painted and clean. I feel sorry for those who have to live among people who choose to live in squalor. What is the answer?
Work harder to get out .....
@Mike Smith people take it as an insult when I say that. But it's the truth. If u want something,u have to bust your balls to get it. They just want it made easier,but it's not practical. Easier to get out of the hood would mean taking from others to do it
@@jennycheeks9215 The answer isn't necessarily to leave, you have to invest in places where you see this...where you going to run to?

You make a very good point although the outside of the neighborhood looks dirty when you go inside most of these home they look like paradise. kind of strange don't you think?
No one ever uses trash bins?
Or a broom and some soap???
I love the little bits of everyday conversations you hear along the way...
This reminds me of what the Bronx looked like back in the 80's when I was a kid. When visiting family in Philadelphia as a child, I loved walking down the quiet streets and seeing these homes; My paternal grandmother had a detached home and had beautiful grape vines growing all around the top heading of her house. It is so very sad to see this blithe. Why can't the state sell these homes for like $1 and offer grants to home owners to revitalize these neighborhoods? I'm also upset to see the few people who live in the community allow garbage and filth to just sit on the streets making it a breeding ground for vermin. Pick up a damn broom and sweep your sidewalk!! A neighborhood can't run itself down only the people who live in it do. Thanks for sharing the video. Peace and love~~!!
Yo! Originally from West Philly, here! 46th & Market-58th & Willows Ave #philly💚
Glamorous Taee She's proud of being from Philly, which is an amazing city. She isn't from anywhere shown in this video.
I used to play soccer at 46th and market. Good memories🙏💚
Glamorous Taee philly has many areas. Not just what’s shown... do research or what more videos if you think this is all philly
Section 8 ruined American towns and cities all over the map.
Pizza Man Unfortunately this is true
Pizza Man why did we even need section 8? We were poor, but my father worked hard at 3 jobs to support my mom and 5 kids. (They didn't get out much) , but we never need assistance other than reduced bus tokens in order for all of us to FINISH SCHOOL.
True but greed did this too and now greeds coming to finish the job.
sheacole2 I grew up poor and we had no assistance. Just had the basics and a one income family. The area was safe too. My parents had enough to flee Detroit during the riots luckily.
Not section 8... HUD
I grew up in Philadelphia. It was dirty just like this. It's amazing how clearly I can see why I shouldn't go back to the hood, since Daddy's dead now. I take my kind of low income housing situation down here in the South anyday over Philly. I'm poor but feeling blessed living in this old fashion, clean, safe, tiny southern town.
Do your best,family,I love our home Philadelphia,but now,NC.is home.Love it,but never move backwards..
Northeast Philly is a little bit cleaner then north is
Hello Charlie. I live in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. Pop. of 100 thou. Your vids are a real eye opener to me. Until I came across your channel, I had no idea just how derelict a lot of US cities are. All those jobs lost, people having to move out. I hold the global scum accountable. They want the rest of the world to be poor so they can be rich.
Foster Cat who are you referring to by "the global scum" ?
Beard Skull The Vatican, Jesuits, Rothschilds, Bilderberg group, Monarchies, the enemy tribe.
The Clintons
Charlie is the f'in man
It depends on the city and which neighborhood. This is a bit extreme.
The streets are so narrow that they have to park halfway on the curb. I felt like I was riding on the hood of your car. Felt the breeze in my hair and everything lol. Nah it's freezing in my house!!! 😰
I got so depressed watching this video, I thought you were filming A NEW EPISODE OF “GOOD TIMES “😩😩😩
I used to live in the Johnson Homes, What most people don't understand is most of the communities are tight knit, the neighborhood might look bad, decayed, ect... but when I lived there, when something went wrong or people needed help, the entire neighborhood was together for once.
Then buy them some brooms and see if the neighbourhood can clean up that shit house of a place!,
Yet they aren't "tight knit" enough to do the basic human courtesy of picking up their own trash.
So everyone turned poor, lazy, drug heads and let the neighborhood to go to hell just because of one person?
James Johnson Homes? Off Ridge? That is a fucked up area
Graffiti, crack vials, needles, junk, hoods & criminals this is a great place to save money, as long as you don't mind being mugged.
Ya 🤣😂😆
1:23 Backing up into an intetsection at a stoplight! Now I've seen everything!
Thanks for the video it's says a lot about where we are, love you for caring and sharing
I'll never understand why they have such horrible houses and nice cars. Like the money the spend on cars can be used to fix their homes. Guess that's why they live like that.
How about there are no jobs here, they have to travel farther out for work. Don't be so quick to judge what you don't know. Cars are very important, they are not suped up and got trims shining etc, they probably own their homes and have to have a car.
Angela Perez I live in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Most people afford living in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco and come to work to Guadalajara, all because the affordable houses are in there (Tlajomulco). They don’t spend a lot of money in cars, they take a bus and come to the city. My nieces live in Tlajomulco and study in front of my house that is the closest Guadalajara can be of Tlajomulco and it takes them one hour and a half when there’s no traffic and it can take more in mornings and nights with traffic. Now imagine someone who works or studies even farer. So don’t come and tell me I don’t know how it is because I see it everyday with family members and coworkers.
They are spending money in a stupid way, that’s why they are like that.
Tru
W P I’m not white, I’m not a boy and I’m not rich, asshole. I live in other country and have to take a bus to my job everyday that takes between 60-90 minutes and I’m a lucky one, there are people who live so far away that have to take a bus for 2 hours or more because people here prefer having a nice house and fix it before having a car that you can buy later. But your stupidity makes you think everything that is against your dumb beliefs is because people are white.
W P Are you dumb? I just said that I live in a place like that. Go play your “my color makes me different” card somewhere else.
I would not want to live there. Looks awful!
Chris Bennett that’s only one part though. south philadelphia seems to be blossoming with the ole gentrification. SOME parts of west philadelphia even. it’s not that bad in those areas, but north philadelphia seems to be less taken care of.
i’ve lived in this city for 18 years (i am 18), and as i’ve grown up, i started to see a change in the different parts of philly. there are good parts, and there are bad parts.
I do. I live in a clean neighborhood. That’s the ass part of Philly as you see. He doesn’t show all of Philly tho. I didn’t see my house.
the video is hilighting the "bad" areas of the city. There are many very nice areas in Center City and surrounding neighborhoods. However, there ARE alot of very decaying and filthy areas as well. Open air drug sales are rampant and largely contribute to the filth
Y'all are lucky. I'm a 25 minute walk from a subway station so I'm pretty much trapped in this godforsaken hellhole. I can wait for the 60 bus but that's iffy.
I wonder if those Mailmen get hazardous duty pay to deliver the Mail in those areas? I'll bet they all carry Pepper spray...
Larry 306 i was born in the place on the video and mail carriers have no problem in fact we know them and everyone is cool with them. It’s a post office right up the street on a block he turned on. What ppl like u fail to understand is just cuz it look bad don’t mean the ppl bad.
Its kind of a place where they rubber band that shit and fling it at your porch..
THE601 🖕🏽
Reese Jenkins 😂🤷🏻♂️
They always carry people spray
Do European Hoods soon!! VOTE UP
This please
Do trailer parks and boonies in the US too
Brixton or Moss side would be good in the UK.
Muslims don't care
Part of Athens, Greece is a ghetto
Democrats tax money hard at work 👇
There is no tax money... All the wealth left years ago, the businesses pulled out, etc
It has a lot of character imo... It's a shame they dont clean it up
Morbid611 yeah, i understand. Im from the California and have never been to the north east but all the historic buildings back there appeal to me. That doesnt exist out here
If it was only cleaned up the character would shine through.
What does that have to do with people not cleaning up the yard or just throwing trash around? LOL. The GOVERNMENT should clean up someone's yard? LOL.
The government should clean up yards, pay weekly checks, provide free cell phones and more, of course.
Military spending is more important than bulldozing blight.
When you have to work for what you have, that's when you take care of it, not until it comes out of your pocket, do you really care
Philadelphia Politics... The Philadelphia Way.
That's not always true because some rich whytes live in big homes or mansions and run those into the ground.
Man, What camera you use in this video? Please
This clip showcases the extent of illegal dumping in an urban area, and how the debris can persist when it is not put out properly for pick up and disposal (4:26). Yet, it also highlights how dwellers can keep their frontage remarkably clean and tidy looking (7:57) by putting in a little effort. This might be the "extremes" that your title alludes to. I very much see the decay in the neglected areas, but I also see a little rejuvenation, if not persistence, in an otherwise difficult living situation. Thanks Charlie, for the clip.
60 years of democratic rule... take all the state n federal money.. n then continue to suck everything out of the city.. I feel bad for the people..
Fred Gardner philly been Democrat for 70 years....I'm was born and raised here and live still here and I'm Puerto Rican...I try to tell them about the wrong people the vote for but and they still bitch about the system they want....they are ignorant of the politics...USA was never ment to be a democracy the word is not even in the US Constitution...
Fred Gardner The Democrats were in power in Detroit for 50 years and it looks like a war zone !,
The US is a republic actually. Coleman Young was one of the worst foul mouthed greedy mayors of Detroit. A big help in destroying a once beautiful city. Can see so much potential in a lot of homes. Some beautiful architecture destroyed.
It's their own rubbish lying in the streets . It's upto them how they want to live
What is America gonna look like after Trump gets done with it? Worse than this, I bet.
many are renters living there before Section8. The problem? Land Owner neglect.
Go to Camden New Jersey if you think this area is bad, just a short trip over a bridge from there. I made the mistake of going over a bridge from Phili and ending in Camden. It is real sad to see so many cities in America looking like this.
So depressing!!!!🤦
This what beanie meek mill and Gillie da kid be rapping bout.
@peter papers Puerto Ricans Albanians Colimbians Whites , North Philly just like that . Of course you have areas. But people tend too themselves out here . I'm personally from Kn A area Fishtown
@Flaco Guerrero I'm not sure but I think there's alot of Mexican brothers there now.
@Flaco Guerrero All respect brother ! Be safe out there Texas ain't no joke at the wrong times as well .
@Flaco Guerrero Mexicans have been shipped all over the northen us to take these people's places, and hoods!
LOOKS JUST LIKE BALTIMORE
Just 4x bigger..
The neighborhoods are much more compact and dense and the rowhomes have more character and variance.
Philly has been around a lot longer than Baltimore
Jacob Robinson Baltimore has areas that look just like this,
THE601 and unfortunately Baltimore is the worse city
I got lost on foot about 15 years ago in some place just off Fairmont Park. I believe it was Strawberry Mansion -- one of the scariest moments of my life. Some guy dressed just like a pimp (maybe he was one) was following me, asking questions.
Some of the downtrodden areas have gentrified. Others, like Strawberry Mansion, are apparently at the early stages of gentrification and reinvestment. The houses might be beat up, but the location is good in a lot of these areas.
how can ppl NOT care how their neighborhood looks? or the health problems associated with filth? I live in N Philly ghetto, but we try to stay on point, ya know?
Thank you for the videos. Where do all the people living in those areas get groceries? I saw a few very small markets.
Philadelphia is a very large and busy city, there are plenty of grocery stores.
Just curious.I know several people that need rides to the store because they are too far away and it is hard to carry a weeks worth of groceries on the bus.
I have seen cleaner streets in Kabul..
I have also seen much better houses in Kabul and people cleaning up around their own houses.
That's why American military offiicials are in Afganistan to learn their city waste disposal system, not to wage war.
norton wayne when you say “Americans” you mean ALL those who live in the US. Not just the whites but other ethnic groups, old people, LITTLE CHILDREN. Nice, innocent(for the most part) people who didn’t do shit to you. Please watch what you say. Maybe it’s you who needs to be washed away from this earth.
So, you want a fucking medal?
So has your mom.
Notice even in the worst shythole parts of the cities, most of the cars are nice, newer models. Priorities. They'd rather live in a dump and have their kids live there too, but they got to have that ride. Amazing.
I noticed that too. Plus I also own a nice car yet live in the ghetto in my area lol. But in all honesty, a majority of the cars parked on the sides are priced well below $5k retail, most below $3k private party value. Easily affordable to anyone who receives government benefits, child support, yearly child income tax credits, etc. Rent and drugs being cheap and easily obtained is the icing on the cake to these people. Its all one gigantic financial game going on back and forth between the poor and the government.
Some people do have real jobs and work. I'm not sure how the rent is out there but they're obviously doing what they can afford.
Its because hes in a high crime and drug infested area...alot of dope fiends and crack addicts thats why its so dirty
Yo Charlie you should try Southwest Philly next time u come to the city
How about doing a video of West Oak Lane
I left my daughters recital to watch this video.
Only thermonuclear annihilation, Then complete reconstruction can correct this. When folks in philly chant how great their first world shit hole is, refer them to this vid.
Having driven across the many parts of Philadelphia in a 26' box truck, I can attest to the fact that it is in fact, a shithole.
Lmfao what
You aren't kidding.. Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans.. they all look the same.. Trick is getting out alive haha..
She'll have another recital I can sit through.. Priorities.. lol
From North philly born n raised. Despite what u may see. Just because u r from HERE. DOES NOT MEAN u r a product of your environment! Js.
College. Conscious. Abundant. Successful.
Down here . touch. It teaches u. Not all bad. My view from here . n no neighborhood back in the day was better fun. The Greek. Broad st. Bbq s. South st. The men . the style. The games 16th st. Fam.
This the price from all that fun, a dumpster for a town and no will to clean up.
You should do one in south philly around 7th and Snyder and around 23rd nd tasker up to 31st and tasker
10:20 is the (new) Laundromat I used to go to when our washer broke. This was my block - to the right on 18th st. It totally breaks my heart to see what the neighborhood has become. Totally different from when I was a child growing up. Things had just started getting bad before I left almost 40 years ago, as home owners died and their children move away. HUD took over and everything went downhill. If people can't find decent jobs, they don't make money to put into the neighborhood - and the city couldn't care less.
And I thought Baghdad was bad!!!
Somar Chimon Yes you right my friend was working in Iraq before the war , he sad it’s one of cleanest and beautiful city .
Servile sodomite Kattan, no comparison to a US-bombed and US-invaded city, Baghdad. Baghdad was a well functioning city under S. Hussein, until Pentagon beasts bombed and invaded it, to destroy people and property. It has nothing to do with US ghettos! If Russia had bombed Washington, the US capital would have been worse than Baghdad has been after US bombings and destruction!
I showed your videos to my "Maidan friends" from Ukraine. They do not believe. They say it's rigged. They say that in the United States all people are very rich.
Nice idea! :)
Aimee They'll have no problem scoring some stamps immediately.
Shyeah it's "rigged" alright.. blame it on putin like the rest of you brilliant ukrops do
Caio Marcos: Time to start your Brazilian dream and build your own hoods. Old day American Dream now is a thing you can see only in dream, I some places people have full time jobs but still live on streets.
Caio Marcos LOL Detroit is cute compared to poor neighborhoods in São Paulo and Rio. Plus, we don't get the government hand-outs like the murricans.
Thank you Pam Hunsinger! Philadelphia really isn’t a bad place. We left NYC , I was about five and then taken away in 1972 to Oregon I was only 17. You can only imagine. Like your comment
Charlie, you're in Philly, Chicago, Detroit, all over.. Do you sell real-estate or do you travel to these places for videos? You know your way around too well to be a stranger. This looks like west Philly too
Thanks for your vids charlie. I find very interesting to see the other side of the medal. Media shows the opposite. Greetings from Milan
There you go, Philadelphia and all it's glory. I have been called a lot of names on this channel. But everyone wants proof, everyone wants video, well there it is. I would never live in the shit hole of a city again. I grew up in West Philadelphia, left and never looked back. Keep voting for those Democrats, they will always make things better. I can see by these videos, the proof, ain't happenin'.
Marco Anaya gtfo and stay out your not missed
Thank you very much. I actually appreciate that. I do not miss it Philly and I surely do not miss dumbass, ignorant people like you. Sorry ass attitude. Why don't you go help people clean up their neighborhoods? Why don't you try to make a difference? No, just the same old, EBT cards accepted here mentality, then blame it on somebody else because the situation is messed up. Good Luck.
luxx_interior You funny guy. No man, I lived that life. I grew up in West Philly so you can talk that yang to someone else G, not over here. I do not live in the country now, but better than where I grew up. Right Wing? Well whatever you say. Say what you want, but the videos do not lie. Have a good one. LMAO. #lifeinthehood. Sorry to deliver more bad news, but alot of Black people vote Republican. I guess they are all Uncle Tom's, 'sell outs' and 'Oreos'. Yeah right
Douglas Fisher glad you got out as well. That place is a shit hole. The people who live there make it worse. They refuse to even clean up their own neighborhoods. Everyone wants a video now days. Well there it is.
Marco Anaya every big city has their ghetto shit hole slums seems to me that on the east coast they just go on and on
" The Hood Streets" Always Go Hard🚀
Wow. All of these beautiful old buildings -- have so much potential! And, if only the people in these neighborhoods cared enough to clean up the trash -- and keep it clean -- it would make such a difference! I can only speculate that all of these places were built during the 'heyday' of Detroit's Booming Automotive Industry -- for all of the Auto Plant workers with their families needing a place to live?
But, yeah, If they would only clean up the outside of the properties -- literally get out there with trash bags and brooms -- they would feel so much better about themselves and their community! It cost 'zero' dollars to clean up trash if a community comes together and does it collectively. It's sad to see the potential that's there -- and yet, nobody cares.
TO: CharlieBo313 ------ >>> I just discovered your videos and I love all of them so far !! You're giving us an opportunity to see how other people live in areas that we would otherwise never see! Everyone always promotes the beautiful side of their cities -- the commercials on TV, the sitcoms and the internet never show the side that you're capturing in your videos! And, I think that you're highly intelligent and brave to go into these neighborhoods to film as you do! It is something that not many people would think to do -- except you. You're brilliant! You're an out-of-the-box thinker!
I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, CA, and you would think that if you were to cruz Compton, CA, and Ingelwood, CA, that you would find it to be mostly inhabited by African-Americans -- but that's not true anymore -- not today -- not in 2018! Compton is slowly being taken over by Illegals from Mexico -- Compton is probably about 85% Hispanic now -- hardly any African-Americans reside there anymore. And, that's just so amazing to me -- WILL ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS in your videos be taken over by them as well? I guess only the time will tell !! And, the sad part is -- the illegals refuse to assimilate -- they don't want anything to do with our American culture. Here in L.A. they drive their cars blasting their Mexican cowboy music as they fly their mini-Mexico flags that they attach to their cars!
Love your videos! They are so very interesting to watch! I feel as though I'm riding along with you!
Much different from when I grew up there in the 50's! So sad.
I grew up in my early years in West Oaklane Penfield St . When we go back up home I will drive through Phila and it's sad what it has become. Been in Texas for years but still call Phila home . Was born in 1947 sounds like we may had known the same Phila
Hey Nancy I was.born and raised in the heart ❤️ of north Philly in the 60’s. Every Saturday people were out cleaning steps, sweeping the block down and the sanitation dept would come by and further clean by water spray from the trucks, was a beautiful place to live back then and neighbors cared about one another. I no longer live there as well. Always remember and love ❤️ Philly bc of my roots there.

EVIL RATS
@JC1985 not all ways like that.
Why did they leave?
@JC1985 that's not fair.
Everyone should get the same opportunity
I might be wrong, but saying such a thing seems to imply that when a neighbourhood is mostly white it's clean and when they all leave and black people come in, it deteriorates...
Think about it.
@JC1985 huh cause I'm white from North Philly moved out here and not gonna lie still fuxed in the head from all the craziness growing up.
Damn Charlie, I see you rolled right by Edgar's Place on Cumberland Street. Hung out there many a day in my younger years. That's where I grew up.
I have no Idea what that is.
This is around Temple University which has always been a rough area. Rather recently Temple has been pouring money into near by developments. It's bringing cleaner environments and investments to the area but it will be some time before we see this area flourish. It's a shame. These areas have alot of potential but the city ignores them
This is amazing. Wow.
What I find fascinating when on my drive around USA on TH-cam is that no matter how run down these neighbourhoods look, there are always some lovely looking cars! How do they afford such good cars and the houses look so bad?
I think it's bc, since the houses are bad/ not a good neighborhood, the rent is cheaper and they use the rest of there money on other things like cars
Good one Charlie Ol Boy. :)
charlie Because of you, I became known as a life in neighborhoods life. You are by me my best friend. I love how to record events and hear everything that is happening as it is, like the sound of things in the car. i from algeria
What’s with all those narrow ass streets? Must be the pits trying to park a car there after a major snow fall.
dexterdog62 i grew up right where he’s riding at and yes it is
Gotta love one way streets with double sided parking and people crowding around, too..
When a lot of those places were built, people used horses to get around. That is why many narrow streets.
Also, a lot of the row homes were built when people could not really afford cars and used public transportation. It is a nightmare driving on these streets. When there is snow, forget it.
Old colonial streets. Horse and buggy days
just say thanks to DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What would Republicans do about this? Take even more money away from these people? Have more of them dying in the streets?
@Germaine Vorkuta Stupid comment. Very racist and uncalled for.
Joe Kaye Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston - three of the richest cities in the US. All governed by Dems. Dallas is blue. Houston had a dem mayor until recently. Austin is booming - also blue.
Out of the 10 richest states, there are only 2 that are squarely republican - Texas and Georgia. And the areas of Texas that generate most of the wealth are all blue or purple - Dallas, houston, austin and San Antonio.
Good try though.
@Germaine Vorkuta Where you from candy ass?
S K guess what idiot. Those cities you named are high on welfare, sh* t and trash are on the streets, they are being burned down and looted by anarchism, highest unemployment, dangerously high taxes, extremely high unemployment, corrupt politicians, most abortions, slow and nasty transportation, broken down housing, food stamps everywhere. Should I name more for you?
Chillin out maxin,relaxin all cool and all , Shootin some B-ball outside of the school.
This is my home town. When I'm there, I feel like a child again... Memories of my late father flood my mind. When I watch videos like this it feels different. Not to be misunderstood... It absolutely looks like this. Just reading all the negative comments from people who likely no nothing about the 'hood' makes it FEEL different. Kind of like embarrassed or ashamed... But moreso mad or annoyed that I can't even defend my hometown. Just know that if you are making negative comments that indirectly insult the people who live here... The Universe won't be kind to you. BLESS.
And "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" !
Looks a little dark to me..
Ever hear of sarcasm
Dale McNamee _The gang moves to a ghetto_
I would love to see some pictures of this neighborhood in the 1950s
Go inside one of those little corner markets. I'd love to see what they're like.
That is about like that in parts of Nashville near downtown.The city still has some rough areas,mainly north and south of downtown.
yup looks about right..... Im in a different section but yeah... if your not from here, Philly is wild in some areas, and cleaner in others and most houses havent been assessed and cleanup is slow. Lot of people do live in poverty. We also have nicer places in Center City and mass transit. ijs.
Is the city bankrupt or something?
hey charlie I remember you said you was gone try to get down to tampa fl during the spring any updates?
I will be coming to Florida sometime later this spring or during the summer.
Tampa will love to have ya Charlie!
CharleBo313 cool
can you do 23rd and susquehanna projects lol in one video you went right around the coner from where im from i just moved to cali and enjoy watching my hood on the tv high as a kite . its like im back home lol anyways thanks a ton for making these. CHekc out my channel if you wanna see what im up to now i move from Philly to the Mountains HOLLA
Those type of homes at 0:30 are very common in Camden, Philly, Baltimore and DC.
GO TO HARRISBURG , PA
When dealing with poverty, especially within the inner city, you have to take ALL factors into consideration. You'd be surprised what you find out when you actually do the research. Be humble and don't judge because you don't know the pain that plagues these communities. Systemic oppression is real.
What I see is a city that's been severely affected by white flight. The people worth anything have all left and all that's left is a ghetto comprised entirely of young, strong but poorly educated blacks. Africa 101
My hometown,much respect,Mr CharlieBo313..North Philly,we need help from within,but always my hometown.
Is there a packaged tour to this area?
Democrats built that.
They wish all of America resembled this
Right On No, that’s the Republican ‘trickle down’ idea. It doesn’t work. Poor get poorer. Bet these areas were beautiful in their day.
Dawg you stupid
@jakiiboi8 Genuine question. How were these properties designed in a way that creates problems and poverty?
FACT.
Why do people block the streets? It’s not their personal playground. Was that gunfire 11:18?
Sounds like a nail gun.
Esse lugar parece o bairro Campos Elísios na região central de São Paulo ... Parebéns pelo vídeo Charlie
Thanks for sharing.
Incredible !
that does not even look like it should be in the United States...
Somebody needs to Rally a neighborhood trash pickup at least!
I remember they used to sweep in front of there homes to keep it clean. Know they will not do that?
Me too when I was living on Napa street.
That car backing up when he was stopped at red light was new to the area. They started to turn down that rd and was like fuck this
I was just staying in this neighborhood. I found it to be very interesting and the people to be quiet friendly. I think there is no reason to be scared
This place is like fallout 4 you need the hazardous material suit and lots of rads meds
That's definitely "the hood".
Even though it's a sunny day, and I hear birds chirping, I can't help but feel a little depressed.
I grew up in a hood too! A dam neighborHOOD! we were poor TOO!! Our parents and grandparents taught us that just because you are poor does not mean you have to live in filth! These are LAZY people! Cant use a broom? Pick up a piece of trash? This was probably once a nice little neighborHOOD! My gramms called people like this a CANCER!!
Libaralism at work.

Provide tax incentives to businesses and even help with reduce land or property price incentives in order to attract business to migrate to the area infected with leftist ideologies.
