Thanks for the drive around Brownsville. Lots of people say " It's not where you live, it's how you live". I think they are wrong because... when you come from poverty crime infested neighborhoods...it takes a toll on your health, mindset, spiritual vibrations, definitely affects your social skills but on the other hand...it sharpens your ability to figure people out fast. I tell young people to get out of the projects and bad neighborhoods while they are young because as you get older your chances of getting out are slim to none. I speak from experience...lived in East New York Brooklyn NYCHA from 1972 to 2000. 🙏✌️

They say this is the worst area in Brooklyn and it still does not look Half as bad as Kensington Pennsylvania

Certainly not bad compared to, say, Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia. The streets are clean and there's a lot going on.

Brooklyn mentality way harder than Kensington I ain’t gon hold u💯

Sometimes I miss Brooklyn but then when I look at pics and or videos and see those gray skies I then remember why I left. The gray skies mostly all year around is extremely depressing it used to fuck with my mood, Ofcourse when it was nice and sunny out then that's when I would say there is no better city but like I said it's not very often we got sunny days. Ever since I moved to Tampa my energy has improved and mood as well. Nothing like waking up to a bright sunny day, it really does help especially if you are trying to avoid substance abuse. Life out in a sunny state is a different vibe it allows you to wake up super early and feel the sun's energy.

Thanks for the memories. Grew up ENY in the 70's and remembered Pitkin ave as the shopping MECA. Belmont had fruit / veggie vendors in old wooden carts :)

Thank you for showing my old neighborhood of ENY Brooklyn. A lot has changed, all of my OG friends have either passed on or move to Florida, New Jersey and/or Pennsylvania... For me it is California....

Instead buying a plate ticket and a car for a roadtrip I could just lay down and watch your channel 😌

Compared with Kensington street. Looks like a thriving community.

I remember when i moved from brick city Newark to ocean hill Brownsville Brooklyn .. And when i went to DMV to get my id change over to my NY address information the lady that was helping me said damn honey you were born in Newark NJ and you moved to Brooklyn NY you went from worst to worst you didn't come nowhere i felt out laughing but she was right

i come from Oz so i know nought about seth low...why infamous and thanks so much for the drive around. i found it quite interesting

@ 0:47 to your right is 296 Sutter Av in Brownsville houses 3rd floor right side of the taller building was our apt 3C. Soooo Many Memories from my youth to adult hood. Made it out alive from the early 70's to the late 90's.

Why do people like comparing their hoods like its a badge of honor. Poverty is poverty no matter if your from Kennsington Ave or Cabrini Green. LMAO. Some guy from Brooklyn came down here to NM and tried that "I'm from Harlem and this ain't shit". He got his ass kicked by an older man who have lived in the ABQ streets a long time.

NYC is so much better than in the mid 80's. Had so much fun there at the same time as well as a young man.

Guess you gotta say excuse me 20x to get in the corner grocery store 😂

I was born and raised in brownville I live on union near Sutter rutland it not bad as they say

East NY, East Philly, East Detroit, East Baltimore, East NJ, East L.A, East San Diego, East Oakland, Etc, Etc,... 💪 ❤💪✊👊

Those housing projects look like multi-story prisons.

I used to drive a courier van through Brooklyn, JFK, and then out to Long Island. One of my stops was at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. Every week the same 2 guys would come down to the loading dock to get what I delivered, and then go into the same yarn about them knowing someone from Brownsville that could be my twin. Are you sure you ain't him? I'd laugh and say no you must have me mixed up with some other guy. Every week same story. I don't think they knew how well that I knew all the neighborhoods in the city.

I was about 3 or 4 yo when I lived in a Brownsville tenement bldg about 1949-1951. Not the same today.

Detroit makes this look like a haven.

Id still have to say, everywhere I saw on here of New Orleans makes this setting look nice by comparison!

It looks nice to me compared to Kensington Pennsylvania

This is what we are used to seeing. I'm just ready to leave now but part of me will miss my home

Sounds so good. What mic are you using?

I grew up in ENY. I went to Thomas Jefferson. I lived on Sheffield Ave. From 1960 to 1975. I am a tomahawk for life.

Don’t know… I see a lot (like, a lot!) of expensive cars parked around in this ghetto. And not all ‘pimp mobiles’ or ‘drugdealers ‘speed mobiles’. Some green here and there. No boarded up homes and shops. No junkies lying around on the pavement. This is what one would call ‘a nice middle class neighbourhood’ in my country 😂.

I love your videos because i get to see places that i will never ever see in person 😮

What difference from Philadelphia,,,These people are clean and on form,,,The shops are open everybodys well dressed,,If i came to Brooklyn this is what i would want to see

Brownsville isnt what it use to be in terms of violence but its still violent. I can count off hand over 20 ppl i knew from the block who was murdered, included my brother

I'm proud to be a New Yorker. Even our ghettos are nice! Compare this to any of your other videos.

Looks better than Kensington in Philly.

Lots of corner stores!

Still waiting for danger - have you ever been to germany last years?

Looks dreary

The drive through Kensington, Philly on a Friday morning was way more scary. Junkie hood.

I bet it's a field day for the repo man

Homie passed my cousin's building on Blake not going to put them out there tho they names ring tho.

Good job👌🏾👏🏾

The only thing that stood out to me about Brownsville is I didn't see one white face. Other than that, it 'looked' like a clean well kept neighborhood.

Live in Brooklyn now but from Memphis.. It is NOT THAT BAD in comparison to Memphis!

Having kids they can't afford. STOP DOING IT

What a cool place,,,Should be proud,,,New York is an amazing place

Yet it doesn't look bad at all compared to other places. Best city in the freaking world :)

Seems cool! Wanna see a real and dangerous place? Come to visit Rio de Janeiro's favelas.

335 Sutter Ave and Stone Ave

I grew up there in the 80s so my sons don't have to today. Suburb life

6:24

I would have to say it is bad compared to my neighborhood, which is right next to Brownsville.

Way nicer than Philadelphia

Honestly, I thought it would be way worse. We have worse ghettoes in France.

Grew up in bronsville 1945 left in1961wh

Wow, thanks for the video. I've never been to a city and haven't any desire to visit one. Don't understand what makes someone want to live in a city but I'm glad they do. Seems the only thing open are deli's and liquor stores.

Brownsville Brooklyn is not dangerous or ghetto it's the certain people that make Brownsville Brooklyn dangerously ghetto

Used to work there in early 90s.........crack needles every where

This not what Brownsville looked like in the 50s and 60s. I hear people comment about what do you expect from these people when you come from poverty and crime. They created this. This their doing.

Are they supposed to be proud about living in the most dangerous neighborhood. I think it's a damn shame.

What is up with all these shops selling nails is there a lot of carpenter work to do😂 omg I need to do some work but I don’t have any nails no worries just go down by the Corner

15:32 look like oblock

Mike Tyson grew up there.

Demographics have a play InThis compared to Kensington I think.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not gonna lie, I don't really see how this is a dangerous neighborhood. As someone who's lived in places like Hayward, California, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, this just looks like an urban city. Keep to yourself and you're all good. Nothing like zombie apocalypse video you have of Kensington.

Страна которой нет уже 45 лет...

Fakery, just a lot of people .... many locations much worst than this ....

Looks like most cities in the UK, especially the outskirts of London

I'm back the real shimeka Sonia Clinton

It's nothing to do with the area, the area doesn't know where it is. Put a Queen in a palace and she'll keep it like a palace. Put a pig in a palace and it'll turn it into a pigsty. Which are you?

But u don't have 300 thousand people in your area And guns Little dirty pa rural area don't compare

Leave the hood, simple.

Gentrificate deese nutz.

Brownsville looks like Park Ave compared to Kensington PA

Brownsville isn't dangerous as long as you stay out the GOT DAMN WAY and MIND YOUR GOT DAMN BUSINESS you're safe. Just a little tip watch your manners and people's body language and the company you keep. I'll feel safer in Brownsville than I would anywhere on God's planet...

It’s not dangerous…

K P seems a lot worse on the surface anyways.

This doesn't even look dangerous 😂😂

Very similar vibe to London

I love black men I wouldn't care if he had kids I would babysit and even be friends with the baby mama.😊😊😊😊😊

100's of black people just standing around. Nobody on their way to work. Reparation's? I say get a job!

why would anyone live in this place

Whoever gave me 2 likes thank you It's the honest God's truth.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I would live there and I'm white. I'm from Chicago so I can handle myself no problem.

“The Projects” such as this, the Chicago Projects and any other mass consolidation of low or no income is the biggest failure of urban design ever invented by Democrat run cities. The CHA (Chicago Housing Authority) was created in 1937 to own and operate housing built by the federal government's Public Works Administration. In addition to providing affordable housing for low-income families and combating blight, it also provided housing for industry workers during World War II and returning veterans after the war.. A great idea? Since WWII, these complexes have been been a massive source for drugs, guns, crime, prostitution and generational poverty. These ghettos should be dismantled and the people assisted to diverse locations. Decentralize this source of misery.

Looks extremely boring, another reason why i don't want to visit USA and UK in a near future

Bidens USA god bless the queen LOL.
