You haven't seen the worst of America until you've seen Gary, Indiana.
In this video, I explore Gary, which many say is the worst rust belt town in the United States. I show you abandoned factories, homes that have been destroyed, and talk to several interesting people.

The building you refer to as "the projects" is the former Hotel Gary. When my sister was in high school in the late 60s, it was the height of luxury. Her prom was there. By the time I graduated from high school in 1974, it had been converted to senior public housing. The scenes at Gilroy Field almost made me cry. Gary was truly the city of the century. It was created AND destroyed in the 20th century. It's a microcosm of a way of life that's long gone. My dad dropped out of Lew Wallace High School to go fight in WWII. He came back and went to work in the mill. He made a good enough living that we could afford two cars, a summer cottage in Michigan and he paid my way through college, all without my mom needing to earn an income. Sure wish that could be the case now.

That's bullshit.. Ever heard of TVA/ Tennessee Valley Authority, they're owned by the United States federal government, created by President Roosevelt in 1933 to the save the southeastern part of the U.S. from flooding. Without the 49 dams that were built for flood control, and to supply electricity to a large parts of the Southeastern U.S., this part of the country would still be nearly uninhabitable because of the flooding. And, they are just one of the many types of federal agencies that go unnoticed today because most people never lived before they existed, and know little about what life was like before. But, my parents, who were born in 1910, and are long gone, along with 100's of black and white photographs, personal stories from them, and my grandmother, who was born in the late 1860's, about life in upper East TN before the 1940's along with the many stories about what life was like as they grew up in upper East TN before 1940, helped inform me about our history in the Tennessee Valley that I've always called home. History shows some undeniable proof that our federal government intervened in a very positive way. But, that's been all but forgotten by more people than not in today's world. Informed people call it history. It is knowable, and it's not that hard to become informed before speaking.

Just keep working bc many people are depending on your tax dollars to help them. All the migrants, Ukraine, etc. need Americans money and that will continue. That's why nobody wants to work bc after taxes and with prices as high as they are it's better to not work and go on welfare. A person on welfare in Mass. makes $24.00 an hour and gets subsidized housing and free health care. It pays to NOT work.

It doesn't take much, but if you start seeing your neighbour's garden filling up with crap, and then that becomes an epidemic, the whole area is starting to decay. Where I am, a lot of people throw litter away now with no real regard. I find rubbish everywhere and it is getting worse. When you see that a lot it starts becoming a problem, because when people stop doing the basics, there is a bigger problem.

I agree with that woman and I’m Canadian. It’s the same here. We give hard earned money to the Ukraine, there’s a horrible housing crisis, groceries are unaffordable, they’re accepting wayyy too many immigrants, etc. The cities here are turning into mini “India”. Including my city. I have no issues with helping people, but we need to help ourselves first and foremost and we arent. It’s honestly so disheartening to see the Canada I once loved become a place I wish I didn’t live in. I know there are worse places to live, but it’s hard to survive. More than 60% of my wage goes to rent alone. I have to watch every single penny. It’s awful. It shouldn’t be this hard to survive.

​​@@RobTSLAThere you go. Gary didn't get reimbursed when factories or the jobs popped up in Asia after WW2. And like many cities in America that had a growing black population, white people fled due to integration and abandoned the cities, and left it to a race of people who have been disadvantaged throughout the history of the country. And now they say it's the politics, it's the people, no it's abandoning something is also a main part of it too. But when so many people leave it's the collapse of the city's systems, the schools, the infrastructure, etc. and now that Gary's aging as well, who is really going to do it now?

Our Malls are being destroyed. It is so sad. i am 66 and was born and raised in Calif, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles.. I am watching and see a no return. It is sad. In San Francisco, people living on the streets live in cars like Merceds, BMW, ect. The homeless in LOS ANGELES is in every little city. It used to be only DOWNTOWN LA.. NOW it is everywhere..

It is sad…but I have wonderful memories of Gary and still have many relatives living there.

This is what happened: 1. A lot of military contracts ended. That killed off a large portion of the steel industry. 2. Complacency in the American auto industry: when the first gas crisis hit, the feds were also enacting new safety and emission standards. Meanwhile Japanese automakers began importing cars by the shipload - they got better fuel economy, and were cheaper to buy. This took American automakers by surprise and some didn't think the import invasion would take hold, but it did. That caused the shutdown of assembly lines, and many supporting businesses. 3. Another hit on the steel industry, was companies buying more and more steel from overseas. 4. NAFTA: a LOT of manufacturing went to Mexico. 5. China being awarded with "favorite nation trading" status. Most of the manufacturing centers around the U.S. were hit hard, but Gary still surprises me. It almost looks like that city got hit with an air-burst nuke. It is kinda sad that lady blames republicans for the situation there, seeing how Gary has had democrat mayors for the last 77 years.

Robert Triffin, an economist from Belgium who worked for the Fed and other institutions in the US, told Congress in 1960 that if the US wanted to have the world's reserve currency it would have to import more than it exported. This would lead to huge changes that would impact labor. The governments and banks like the arrangement...and here we are 64 years later. We are on the verge of losing the dollar. Hopefully we can turn things around after that happens but there is lots of pain to come before we do.

I learned some hard lessons on the streets and believe me when I say, you do not want to become homeless. When the bottom falls out of this country these big dilapidated cities are going to burn. The streets are a dangerous place full of violent people. They don't show what really goes on out there. Believe it or not some people actually want to live on the streets.

@@americawaters4257 This started with Nixon and Ford, didn't it? Then Reagan had a go at "fixing" things. It was all over before Clinton got anywhere close to being in office. By the way, I'm in Australia, I couldn't care less one way or the other when it comes to the Democrats or the Republicans, but history is history. Clinton gets hung out to dry on this because he ratified all of Reagan's hard work by signing off on NAFTA. That's convention, not politics.

@@davidbrayshaw3529 I'm in the US and couldn't care less about Republicans and Dems. Divided we fall. In Nov 1984 most of my class mates could vote bc they had just turned 18. I was still 17. They voted Reagan. I didn't like him. I didn't ever like any candidate. I never voted until President Trump. Reagan was connected to the Bush clan. Eisenhower started the social security (socialism), LBJ started Medicaid. Bush robbed the social security. On and on. But Bill Clinton, one of the names, as I said, ruined Indiana. He also let Janet Rino murder 21 children under age 12 at Waco. I grew up in a farm town with a population of 1,800. We had one big factory that employeed 350 people and two small factories. When Bill was president they went to Mexico. Now it's a bedroom town. We're just a penny bank to these slimy people.

For awhile in the early 2000's there was active bidding for the contract to take down abandoned homes. The four companies who bid wound up fighting each other in court for bid rigging. Ultimately nothing got done. A few of the more dangerous homes and a few old buildings were taken down to make it look like something was done. Now it's a forgotten project. They (local Gov) tried to exchange land to the contractors for taking down the houses but nobody applied. Sometimes the neighbors burn down the houses.
