not anymore though. crime is through the roof, and inflation is killing its poor.

All facts

I think of nas/biggie smalls freestyles outside of bodegas and John gotti mobsters whacking wise guys 😂

You got that right. It wasn’t good.

That fact it still looks the same isn’t a good thing failure of the city to bring in investment. It’s prob one of the reasons u left

Best times

It also says the infrastructure of that country is not developing. China looks like some future country in the year 2065 and the US still looks like this. I don't know what went wrong in this country but this is completely unacceptable. Middle Eastern countries look like something out our most elaborate and expansive human imagination and American cities look stuck in some 80s and 90s New York Undercover look.

You call them "old" shows? 😂

Bro...I swear I was sayin the same coming from Baltimore I feel safe anywhere....east coast hoods just built different

You still human you can get touched anywhere

@@nuttzeverywhere honestly

Same bro!

I read that in the end, around 97% of the buildings there were burnt, demolished, or burnt and then demolished. A lot were insurance jobs. Rather than bring the old buildings up to scratch and get people back in them, they'd just raze them. It makes me wonder if, with a bit of investment, all those big multi-story buildings might've been an asset for the area into the 80s and 90s, a bit like the areas to the south.

More money more money more money

Bingo

@@UnderGroundSkoopTV republicans won't agree to disagree on the money

What are all those tall buildings? Are those apartments.?

Yea and someone said the Bronx is the last authentic piece of New York City and this confirms it

it's already happening in certain parts of the BX

God bless the hoods The heart and soul of any city 💪🏽💯

Agreed

You'll find the hipsters in Port Morris and Mott Haven at the southern tip of the Bronx.

i wish those places would just stay where they are man, they're expanding everywhere. even south bronx is starting to gentrify now

"barista coffeeshops, Apple stores, vegan restaurants and bycicle lanes." doesn't mean gentrification. What makes this place better to live than neighborhoods with all thoes things? Who the hell wants to live in a neighborhood that the community doesn't take care of and doesn't care about? The estate of the bronx is sad and has always been sad since the burning days. This is dystopian af.

What’s wrong with y’all neighborhoods being cleaned up?😂 only black people get mad when they get new places to chill at. Only black people would prefer the trash and ghetto over a nice looking neighborhood. And I can see if you were talking about the cost of living being inflated due to gentrification but you didn’t even think of that. You called this video vibrant and normal?

@@katon4525 This. Imagine thinking that the capital improvements that businesses put into ones neighborhood are bad. The same that complain about that also complain about the crime and piles of trash in their neighborhoods, too. They can’t win for losing.

It’s like time traveling 🕺🏿

Pretty much. I live in Toronto and so many parts of the city look like they haven't left the 70s and 80s.

I was thinking the same less the newer cars, not a big difference.

For real

ARE YOU KIDDING? The 70's was a time of rampant arson, frequent muggings, shootings, stabbings, gang activity, murders every day, armed robberies in broad daylight, abandonment, out-of-control drug abuse, and all other sorts of hellish conditions that made decent people afraid to leave their dead-bolted apartments most hours of the day. The toll in human suffering was NOTHING like today's calmer conditions. Granted, the South Bronx is STILL POOR, but it is orders of magnitude cleaner and safer in general in the last 25 years (despite a COVID-era crime wave) than it ever was in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's and a good deal of the 1990's. I was around back then. I saw the owner of a bodega on the corner of 152 St & Courtland Ave get his head blown off by a gun-toting thug who didn't like his coffee. I saw an elderly man bashed over the head and his face slashed with a machete when he refused to hand over his wallet to a member of the Savage Nomads street gang. I've witnessed violence on hot summer nights in dank, boiling apartments, roaches crawl down the throats of toddlers, rats jumping out dresser drawers and attacking and biting babies and the elderly bed-ridden, I could go on....

Only other place in the US you mean*

Other cities in the Northeast/Mid Atlantic have similar architecture

Philly and Chicago to me

You ever heard of Newark, NJ or New Haven, CT

​@@kdyy3northeast cities like NYC, Philly, Hartford, Boston etc were designed before cars came into the question

Fuckin dump

They need to fix the city, if this is heart eyes to you thats sad . The Bronx looks like a 3 world country

He technically did, but just from the Webster side...I got videos on my page if u got time to go look at them, hope it feeds the nostalgia for u 🙏🏼

Literally all of these videos are shot on Washington and Webster Projects, the place I call home...check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqqXocSQrq28fGQ.htmlsi=0nJk0gaK4PKxfyLK

List of videos all shot on Washington and 170, do u recognize it? Hope it feeds that nostalgia for u 🙏🏼 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8CXp8WjnNPbZZc.htmlsi=KuArx8cZgtWPpljs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9d7qKWT2J7Zomw.htmlsi=deCjyXGp23jiZk9z kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqqXocSQrq28fGQ.htmlsi=0nJk0gaK4PKxfyLK

Home sick nah you don't want to go back there.

Called crime

@@brandonbell5357 I know

​@@tiff5891there was more crime back then but the difference now is the youth is involved more. The youth was the main ones outside back in the day. So now it just looks dead. Most cities tbh. I grew up in East Tremont and Staten Island and both just look so dead all the time. Noone outside

@@Tuelz... so sad, I grew up in the Cross Bronx/Parkchester area & I remember everyone was outside, there used to be block parties every summer. Miss those days. Crimes were bad, but what a time to live as a kid in the 90s-early 2000s

@@tiff5891 fr ...i remember right off Webster my uncle block Clay Av also had the block parties. Glow sticks and everyone just eating having fun. Cnt do that now cus the 13 year olds have beef and would lite it up. At least back in the days the beefs was between 20-40 year olds so they wouldnt do nothing where theres kids at they would handle it another time. Kids dnt care and just wanna get getback anyway

Simple. Used cars are all what poorer folks can afford. Body shops? Dense, inner city streets are easy to get into all kinds of car crashes.

Nah moped

Brooklyn and Bronx are two completely different things. Bronx will always be Bronx

@@JayWerx I hope and pray you are right … but the New York City that I was drawn to and lived in beginning in the 90’s (I lived in all boroughs except S.I. over the course of 24 years) is an alien place and culture now

@@michaelB212Agreed, it’s sad to witness how soulless the city is becoming. The 90s in NYC were amazing.

NEW YORK SUX

WRONG! It is NOT NY State that's like this. It's NYC that is like this, and this is the Bronx, borough of NYC. The state is soooooooo different than the city.

Stolen cars too

...and two billboards for God.

More money more money

Would that be more Brooklyn/Queens?

Didn't

Yeah just a bunch of people stacked on top of each other and rat infested. But the food and culture is the only thing I like about NYC other than that I couldn't wait to get back down south 😅

имеем не ценим, потерявши плачем...что вам, что нам 30 лет рассказывали и показывали, что где-то, но не дома точно, люди живут как люди. все для них, манна и благодать. правда подробности при этом как то упоминать не стали. а мы и не спрашивали. господам нужно верить на слово.

@@maxxrumm4277 Не надо обобщать, говорите за себя. Уж не знаю, кого Вы 30 лет считали "господами" и кому верили, вам виднее. Для меня же, кодло дорвавшееся до власти в моей стране в 91-м, сплошь негодяи, подлецы и воры, но никак не господа - с какой бы стати мне им верить.

Right. I'm from Chicago and even some of Russia's apartments look similar to ours on the inside.

Looks like the VPG MV-1

Looks like a hell hole ...

Cartel is down there

Damn near everything that isn’t down south is better than St Louis

​@@blacksheep9278 even the south is better than St Louis. Most cities in Florida, Texas, NCarolina, Virginia, all better

@@Ozama1221 yk what places I’m talking about

@@blacksheep9278nah i love my city

Looked like many hand window units/wall shakers.

Take your meds on time

Same thing

It doesn't look that bad compared to Philly at least. Reminds me of Chicago. I'd feel right at home.

That's a dump of democrats there

@chination1796 I know you’re trolling, but in case you’re not…Cardi B, Ice Spice, Lil Tjay, A-Boogie, Kai Cenat, Fat Joe, Kerry Washington, NY Yankees & many more come form The Bronx! 🤣🤣🤣
