All I can think is "don't break down, don't get a flat tire". 😱

One thing I’ve noticed is the state of the house, yet they have rather new and expensive cars parked out the front.

Great video! I was born in Atlanta back in the 50's and grew up in Decatur. I spent most of my teenage years hanging out in Atlanta. It's a-shame to see what's going on there. Crime is so bad that the Atlanta mayor and our Governor don't know what to do about it. Every morning the first 15 minutes of the news is how many people were killed last night or how many cars were stolen or broken into. Atlanta has become the new Detroit. I live 45 miles north now but do not go downtown anymore. Thank's for making this video.

I lived about 3 blocks from areas like this in Atlanta and used to travel these type streets every day. Everything almost always cool during the daytime regardless of who/what you were, i would shop in any of those convenince stores and local fast food joints over a big/nice one to be honest. All that would change after dark however. The people that LIVE in these areas are great people, the people that STAY in these areas are 90% of the trouble.

Imagine the ppl that worked hard & made those houses homes only decades later destroyed by their grandchildren

Your videos are far more educational than public school classes. Thank you.

I love taking a ride along with you, especially with no talking. It has so much more impact ! Thanks !

Thank you for posting another mind-blowing video. I live 30 miles from Boston where the real estate prices are through the roof (no pun intended). In my area, starter homes sell for over $500,000. It's insane. Thank goodness I bought my house 30 years ago as I would never be able to afford one today. When watching these videos, it's hard to believe we live in the same country. It's just wrong!

Kudos to the girl with the lemonade stand. I hope better things come her way 👍

America has streets many blocks long, of homeless ppl, and whole towns of empty houses. So hard to understand.

I grew up in a small suburb that was gentrified by people moving from the inner-city. It didn't go well and it's a crime ridden dump now.

My heart is just breaking watching this.

Sad to see so much urban blight in one city. My hometown had pockets of it, our downtown was a dangerous area throughout the 80's, but the city is actively cleaning up and revitalizing, even as the old manufacturers left some newer manufacturers moved in.

Thanks for the road trip! And thanks for making me more grateful for the nice home I live in!

I lived the first 20 years in Atlanta NW off Bankhead. We're talking 40s and 50s It wasn't like this then. This is what drugs do to towns. I blame this on code enforcement. If they did (what they're paid to do) it would not look this way. I live in suburbs of Atlanta and I'd be afraid to go into town.

Some of these abandoned buildings are too far gone. Need to bring out the bulldozer and rid the place of those really bad properties. Then gentrification has a chance of working.

This is good information for ppl that relocate to different cities/states to know where NOT to live👍

I would like to support the young lady with the lemonade stand❤

Wonderful morning! Sweet sunny day! Clean nature!

Hola!!! I just love ur vids!!! TY you ROCK!

Yes, the video was intended to show the worst areas of Atlanta - and I recognize a number of them in the video including one apartment complex a friend of mine USED to live in. However, like most large cities, there are some not so nice areas. So if you are moving here, you need to do your homework on what areas are amenable to you and what ones are not. LOTS of nice neighborhoods here!! Mostly in the N, NW and NE. I've lived here a total of 25 years and find it very enjoyable with lots of great nightlife, food, shopping, etc. It has its ups & downs like every big city.

Every part of Atlanta is the dangerous part.

Thankyou for posting these videos , without any commentary they are even more hard hitting . They should be compulsory viewing for every single politician in the area , regardless of party , they should be totally embarrassed and ashamed of this ....

If you make it to Jeannette i'll show you around. Several homes and an old brewery are earmarked to get demolished within a year or so. A few row houses were just burned up and considered "suspicious". On the main street Clay Ave one old department store was saved by a micro-brewery. Moe & Shemp spent three years here in the early 1920s and lived on Clay Ave. They worked in the summer theater at the now gone Oakford Park. Side note: Moe would stay two streets above me when the Stooges were in the area touring. I beaned him with a snowball around 1970 or 71.

Why is it that in these videos the houses are falling apart but there's cars parked around them that are quite new?

This is the new norm unfortunately!! As far as your question on investing in a gentrification neighborhood - this area still has buildings with good foundations/ bones. We should demand that tax dollars go to repairing the properties with potential and make them available as affordable housing with a low interest loan for low income families. What's the chances of that??

What kind of camera are you using

Great video. This is the home of my Atlanta braves

It’s so upsetting to see so many once solidly middle-class homes abandoned, many trashed. Ridiculous! Mindfully, you let the video unfold in its deafening silence, allowing the images to make their own potent non-verbal narrative. Thank you for caring and for bringing this before the American people. “Attention must be paid.”

Lord, have mercy! Thank you, sir.

They done the same thing to Atlanta they done to Detroit.

Gee , I wonder why .

So when they gentrify a place like that, where do these people go, I mean gentrifying would mean pushing the people out of the area because they can no longer afford to live there. And how in the world do you gentrifying a terrifying hood.

Im ur new subscriber from today... and im really shocked to watching these videos😳😳

I wonder what these neighbor hoods looked like 20 years ago I bet they were alot nicer an happier

I love your videos man! I (unfortunately???) Live in one of the towns you've been through hahaha How do you record your videos? Are you inside a car? My gf keeps saying it looks like you're riding a scooter wearing a helmet or something hahaha

The early 90s and 80s ATL was much worse

That was eye opening

I watched this whole thing, and knowing even worse parts of Mckeesport that you missed in your video, (I live in Mckeesport, you actually drove past my house), I still think we have the worst town in America.

Atlanta? Why am I not surprised or shocked.

You know it's rough when they close down apartment complexes.

Captivating

Hey you ain't been down here to Holmes county bonifay Florida is just as bad but what can we do you have a blessed evening

damn 38 4 children and selling lemonade on the street corner

20years to 30 it's was beautiful place to live. My family from down. There. It's change like everything thing else.nothing never say same.

ATL has had areas like these for as long as I can remember. I attended GA Tech in the 60s, and these rough areas existed then.

Lemonade stand has got to be the most adorable front ever

I see the city is adopting more and more police street cams. We have them on every street in Memphis. Our crime is out of control, But i lived in Atlanta for 4 years and it was pretty bad too.

What part of Atlanta is this? What neighborhood??

Only the people that lives here for years survive this dangerous neightborhoods ,there are occupied homes and some look abandoned. How scary must be at night. I would never live here not Even if i get everything free.

Well nowadays you can get shot anywhere in n ATL/metro area so really he could’ve just rode around anywhere lol

Home of the walking dead.

if there borded up with no electricity it should be up to the owners or city to bulldoze them down after 90 days no ifs or buts about it

Gentrification is such a broad term. Wouldn't it always be nice to have new money come into a place that needs it?

I used to work in some of these areas and I can truly say that the houses/apts may be raggedy but there were some nice cars with expensive sounds systems.

For Fuel.

How much does a regular house cost now days

Just wanted to let you know I watch and like all your videos. I watch KZfaq on my smart TV so I don't comment. Figure it was time to grab the phone to let you know

Keep spirit

Why are all these houses shut down ? What happened to the people who lived there ?

Which Town n City is this???

Hope you do a video in NY city. Its a mess there too.

Entrando na quebrada de atlanta deve ser muito perigoso ai até a noite é pior

Why is the place so quite , big houses but no people living there? Wish we have that here in philippines, just kidding sir. But i enjoy watching seeing quite places. I love it.thank u

You need to say where you are so we can avoid them.

12:09 Does someone left that scooter there? That thing cost about $400-$500.

Anybody here lived in Brandywine Apartments, or the complex across from it in the early 70s?

When will you do New Orleans?

Scared to see this place

I've lived between marietta, kennesaw,and,acworth since moving to Georgia in '05...I can't even imagine smelling the air in the place you've shown in this video..Just being honest..

I believe in One thing,changes are sustainable while prosperity come with struggle and hard work and You lost your time with much due to greed. We Indian were much balanced our life 20 years before and now have wealth but not that happy life,here everyone in race of more and more wealthy the same way they are loosing natural aspact. I am now willing to live and want to generalized these kind of places. A balanced life is more important than hunger of earning only wealth.

Atlanta - Georgia, is it the town of the walking dead serial movies take place?

Things are bad in Boston and California. Wish you get a chance to video record it.

I'm glad I have that kind of background...always feel kinda warm and at home in those kinds of places.

Yes

Honestly the place was beautiful, the house are nice it just need a little renovation if I could get a chance to live in that kind of place I would love too..

Oh My God.

there we go...i was wondering when the next drive would occur. thank you. Gentrification...i'd get in quick smart but perhaps in an area where there are others doing the same. Easy for me to say from here in Oz. But surely the prices of land/house would be attractive. Why are so many vehicles parked with the nose facing the street? I would have thought this is just giving thieves a good opportunity to relocate your car

Tem quê traduzir para o português só imagem.

And I wanted to relocate to Georgia now I am scared show us the safe places to live in georgia

The gentrification is part of the blight.

I think I saw a geek monster

I feel like I’m watching TV with no sound! But that’s cool too if you would rather not talk to us! I understand! Then you would feel like you were taking to yourself.😊

and i like the videos because this is what it once was.

It's dark between them houses you'll get caught up

Kenapa begitu sepi...? Tidak ada orang apalgi anak anak...? Seperti tidak ada kehidupan di dalam nya... Hanya rumah rumah yang kosong tidak berpenghuni dan mobil yang terparkir

I was born and raise in Atlanta till we finally moved when I turned 15 go to capital homes go threw the neighborhood by the federal pin go to cabbage town go threw the streets we’re Martin Luther king middle school and smith high school is you will see smith high school had a day care across the street for students so they would go to school I don’t miss it all oh go threw little fivepoints

Why is it dangerous but there are still people living there?

I was born in Atlanta but living here could get you killed. You're brave even driving here.

I have never seen so many boarded up houses in my life. Makes me glad my city tears down all old decrepit abandoned houses. Keeps my city clean and safe.

👌🏻👌🏻

YOU JUST STARTED 6 MONTHS AGO BUT, YOUR CHANNEL HAS ALREADY OF 27.3 K SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! I THINK YOU WILL REACH 100K SUBCRIBERS "THE SILVER TROPHY" IN FEW YEARS OR LESS THEN MILLIONS SUBSCRIBERS SOONEER!!!!!!!!!

If I had the money I’d invest in some properties

Esse é o lado triste dos Estados Unidos que poucas pessoas mostram e falam.

So like where are all the poor people at that used to live?

Thank you I think your videos are important. I will say they need some sound of some kind of sound going while they are playing would make a huge difference music, car noise , something.

Pero esto pueblo está destruidos no abitan gente

No, I couldn't live there now, but I can invest in those areas being gentrified.

Everything is open trees land, gorgeous 😍

really looks dangerous---lots graffitis---signs of thug life!!! you be safe out there and anywhere..i pray inJESUSNAME thanks for sharing
