If you're rich and white, sure, anywhere in America is a great place to raise kids. It's getting just as bad around here as it was by the early 1980's.... pollution, crime, poverty, corruption, bad roads, bad schools, and now in 2020, one of the highest rates of COVID-19 infection on the face of the earth, since most locals believe the pandemic to be some sort of liberal/commie plot to stop people from attending church. The sewers leak into the storm drains and downtown smells like raw sewage most of the year. When the Ironman competition or Redne-er Riverbend comes to town, they have to drop urinal cakes into the storm drains to keep the smell down, it's like a medieval city in summertime most of the year.

@@deepbluesouth So you'd recommend?

Would you say Chattanooga is better than Nashville for raising a family? Thank you

@@YoAustinn the only real difference between the two is the health threat that the pollen poses to children. My children moved out to surrounding areas, and are healthier for it.

Just have to beware the school system sucks.

Cameron Woods your fucking ignorant!

Sadly, it is an epidemic everywhere. Makes my blood boil!!!

Cameron Woods I live in the valley right by Chattanooga I clearing don’t know what ur talking about I have lived here all my life don’t come trashing city’s when u don’t know the first thing bout it

Helene CandleBaker exactly, we should just ignore this racist excuse of a human.

Naruto Uzumaki lol yes

Very interesting take brother. May have to explore it myself

Don't do it. It's hell on earth.

Righteous Raichu is it good there? I’m going there for vacation tomorrow And I’m curious what it’s like

Sugar Tea LPS it’s so awesome there’s so many cool and unique places

Righteous Raichu thanks for the advice! I’m going today! I’m so excited! :D

Air quality is bad here, and if you're sensitive to pollen spring is hell.

I was once like you... it's a shithole here. Moving here destroyed my life, don't do it. Keep looking. If you like the metro area [I don't know why anyone would, honestly] try Dalton, GA; Cleveland, TN; Marion County, TN; Knoxville, or Nashville. They're all light years ahead of this place with internet that's just as fast and the rent an home prices aren't overinflated. Real Estate in Chattanooga is almost as high as metro Atlanta with none of the benefits of living in a 21st century city.

For me the pit of hell in the summer. It can get very hot and humid during the summer. Born and raised here.

@@teesha3221 I get your point, but you should try New Oreans in July for the real pit of hell.

@@roncarpenter7240 I bet it is.

Try Phoenix Arizona, it’s a oven at 120 degrees in July

@Jellyrollfordinner dude usher = chattanooga, only thing after him is yhe b grade gang members. 🤣

@BGNG ChaosClan Neither does Samuel L. Jackson.... can you blame them, though...?

When I was in high school he came back to shoot a music video and they gave free tickets to my high school for all the kids with good attendance. I didn't get the ticket.

How did you like it? I live in Chattanooga and can bragg we have a lot interesting sites and things to do.

Wanda Treece it was really fun!

Cool place to visit. Don't ever move here. Living here is like the event horizon of a black hole... once you're in orbit, escape is next to impossible.

Christopher Keys no the hell it isn't cause I know family down there that are in gangs and I heard they ain't the only ones

Adam Morgan my city dont have no gangs

Adam Morgan what about that city out in the west that has a population of 1.

It looks like 99% white people

It is not a friendly place gangs galore can’t walk down the street without getting shot

Cameron Woods why do you have to act like a son of a bitch? If you don’t like the city so much then don’t go there and shut the fuck up you piece of shit

@@darnylgaming4377 He really does well represent most of the local white folks here, tho.

most people move here and get trapped by the low wages and noncompliant government.

Because it usually is 😂 its geography is unique.

Chattanooga is a very grey city especially in the winter.

Smog. We actually have over 280 part to full sun days a year. Kind of like Florida without the rain. We've been in a drought for most of the past 15 years.

HYUNKWON CHO I’m not going to meet you but it has a really cool climbing gym that’s my favorite

Cameron Woods you're full of shit, Nashville is a beautiful, clean city. Chattanooga also is a very beautiful, clean city.

Depends on how much money you got. Nashville has the most expensive homes and there are so many people there now. Too crowded.

@Cameron Woods If you get shot/robbed in Chattanooga you're an idiot. If a place looks dangerous it probably is. Follow this rule and you will be fine in not just Chattanooga but any major city.

Hopefully it's not diverse at all. Keep it American only

You get a huge diversity of people in Chattanooga. They all have one thing in common. Everyone here is an asshole.

@@bigboineptune9567 Nailed it. I wish you luck in your future endeavors out of town, the best thing about Chattanooga is moving away.

Truth

Oh really???!!! Wonderful. You will fry that much quicker from the radiation. Oh I forgot. You can upload your pics and vids a mili-second quicker. My bad.

Jack Coke bruh why are you being negative? He was just stating something.

@Jack Coke yo chill tf out 💀

I worked on the EPB Broadband construction in 2009 and then worked on the rebuild after the tornado in 2020. I've worked in telecommunications construction since 1996 in 21 different states. That system was the first I worked on that was a fiber to home system.

@@jackcoke6000 wifi probably does give off radiation, i’ll give you that, BUT that radiation is not harmful and it is not nearly enough to pose a legitimate threat. you know what else gives off radiation? your microwave oven, bananas, your smoke detector. there is even natural radiation floating through the air all the times. if wifi were a public safety hazard it would have been banned ages ago

You have to be delusional or on dope to believe any of this. The police are crooked, violent jerks; the pollution rivals most cities with three to five times the population, most affordable local hobbies are drinking, driving, and doing both at once. History...? Yeah, if you believe the "lost cause" narrative and genuinely wish that the confederacy won the war. I've never seen so many alcoholics, drug addicts, and homeless people in a city of this size. Wages are 50-75% below the national average [especially for people of color], and poverty rates are extreme. Basically, all of the major problems of a large city, with none of the social or economic benefits. It's a huge tri-state ghetto.

August Von Kotzebue thats a horrible trail

August Von Kotzebue shut up

My county is the start of the trail of tears

You look like someone who would say some shit like that. What makes us different is our hospitality

Rock creek suck creek. Nickajack. Noone even thinks about the trail of tears

Is it Chatt worth coming to? I see mostly white people.

Micro Studios Derp Hero Unite me too

i do, too

Michael ikr

@@TedTheAtheist No, it isn't. The people here self-segregate and most of the white folks are white national extremist. As a multiracial individual, I spend most of my time here alone.

​@Cameron Woods Chattanoogans HATE those who practice Islam... and Catholics.... and Jewish people. Earlier this week, shawstikas were painted all over the walking bridge downtown. Mosques and Catholic churches are regularly vandalized with hate symbols.... If you don't mind not being able to eat the fish you catch, smog, garbage and litter everywhere, and you love the confederacy and the KKK, this is truly the place for you.

so, how was the trip?

how was the trip hyunkwon cho?

He probably got murdered or arrested while in Chattanooga. Hopefully he just never came here, for his sake. They do NOT like non-whites around here.

I'm trying to make a move there from Florida next year!!

I'm going to try moving from Florida too!

m.//bee really? You probably will be disappointed...

@@coastercrew3256 why do you think so? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Sorry, there's a law against immigrants from Florida.

wreklessbobo lol

Hi, is the flu season not that bad?

northern shark not terrible, average , just pollen during spring is the bad part

Lie

Amen, brother.

What is the truth?

I know. Chattanooga sucks. After you ha e gone to the Aquatium, incline, Rock City and Ruby Falls there nothing to do. That is of course you’re into going out to bars and getting smashed. The rent is way too high...and the crime is horrible. It didn’t get the nickname “Shootanooga” for nothing. The schools are horrible too. This video is a joke.

Cameron Woods please stop going to multiple comments to say how much you hate black people it’s really annoying

That is Atlanta that has the crips and other drug gangs.

Chubbs Gives Lzz that is all propaganda!

Crips are democrats. Hopefully there's no democraps there.

@@mrgilmore6953 the Crips are in Atlanta, not Chattanooga. Dont listen to that paranoid fool.

That's Crackanooga for ya....

@@deepbluesouth Huh? Has nothing to do with Chattanooga, Outside Magazine is the one who "named it" so.

Go fuck yourself. You don't own the city.

Micayla Laid yes, ryan edwards...

Can you tell me more abt it pls because I’m moving there

​@@micaylalaid1617 There are some good people here. But my advice about avoiding the bads. The bads will be finding any reason to be in your face trying to be a "friend". They'll be trying to talk you to death as you are moving in. Never be their friend. They just trying to see what you got and get a feel to see if they can use you for anything. If your renting, make landlords show you what you gonna be working with and to be honest. Many will lie to tell you what you want to hear and give you the image of something untrue. A majority of landlords especially on the lower income side are scumbags who'd expect you to pay rent in conditions not fit even for rats so becareful of those types if you are renting. Aside from that, it's the usual. The good places costs an arm and a leg, and the cheap ones are likely crime ridden or near places where crime is happening. Also one of the places that hosted a lot of the crime is getting demolished soon, 1 of those projects already been. (both projects don't like each other) so those gangsters and dealers are gonna be thrown all over the place unless they got some plan they haven't announced yet. Just becareful there. It's liveable, but nothing special. And oh before I forget, the teachers may be all smiles, but don't trust them either. They'll insult your child in a second even if your child didn't do anything. Especially if your unfortunate enough to have a child zoned to the east lake side of things.

@@busdriver1118 ^^^This. Every day I wake up, I wish I'd never moved into this area. It's like the event horizon of a black hole, once you're in it's orbit, the only way out is to be compressed into a singularity. I wish I had more money to travel, but wages are miles below the national average. Getting out of the area is basically the only time I can be myself and get to know other people. I've lived here for fifteen years and not made any real friends. They just take, and take, and take. I've literally had a "friend" steal a pair of old cheap prescription glasses from me. I mean, they were bent and crooked and scratched, but he stole them... if I had everything back that's been stolen from me around here, they'd wanna steal that too. Lotsa alcoholics and drug addicts, and this is coming from a guy who grew up in NOLA. If you haven't moved here, DON'T. It's an awful place to raise children, or even try to date anyone.

You haven't travelled much of anywhere else, I'm guessing.

Henry Scott Touchard I’ve been as far as Florida

Shane Marten It attracts people with good heads and good hearts.

@@slappy8941 like every city does. With the good is the bad just like in every city.

@Michael seems like he meant progressive as in economically progressive...are you from Chattanooga?

It's a shithole

Have you actually lived here

Daniel Price well according to people from Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, and New York City, a city of over 100,000 is only a small town in their book.

the way the city is laid out, most of the people live pretty far away from downtown. It's only busy during the day, in the middle of the night it's a ghost town

I'm just salty because I live in Port Angeles. We came in 2nd in 2015. We have 19,000 people, and are much more "town"-like in my opinion.

I moved here from South Florida and people that haven't been here think I moved to the wilderness. Metro Chattanooga has the same population (180,000) as Ft Lauderdale.

Have you ever driven in Atlanta? You talk about deadly, taking your life in your own hand to get on 85 or 75 or where they meet. Glad not to be there anymore. City of progress. Also a red state? Georgia bans abortion. How sad.

It does make the bottom half of the top ten bad things about it.

Im sorry you feel that way man. Im not from nor live in Chattanooga, but im considering moving there. It saddens me to hear you felt isolated. Did the people seem intolerant there or did you just feel uncomfortable being the minority? Im a white male, but im not looking to move towards a small minded, intolerant group of people.

@@atticusstephenson2895 Then avoid. I get what he's talking about. It's extremely intolerant, we had a neo-na#! march not even five years ago, and it was sanctioned by the city with police protection for the march.

@@deepbluesouth bullshit

ColaMannen445 // Norsk gaming hey

When?

@@mrfingers7409 Exactly.

I wish that the hipsters were the biggest problem here, though they are contributing to many of the other problems.

Literally EVERYWHERE else I've been around Chattanooga is better, except for Dade County. That place is the right armpit of Georgia.

It's a shithole.

Come to Ohio and you will see people larger than 300#.

For real though it's boring as hell here

HYUNKWON CHO it’s ok

DESTINY BURTON same

I live there/here too and I totally agree

I live in Chattanooga, TN too

I believe he mean's that they're still banning and burning Harry Potter books around here for teaching kids witchcraft and lesbianism.

Yeah.... That's why so many white folks around here want to bring guns everywhere they go, it's soooo safe.

@@deepbluesouth Lol have you met white people anywhere in the south? They love carrying their guns with them no matter where they go.

Definitely.

@@deepbluesouth Lol. Cost of living is a lot higher in both Nashville and Asheville, also Nashville traffic is wayyyyyy worse.

What crime?

@@nathancoflin9295 Both Chattanooga and Nashville are growing cities, yes the cost of living is higher in Nashville, but it's still nowhere near as expensive as cities up in some of the northern states, part of the reason why people are moving south to both, same with the traffic, Nashville may have more intense traffic then Chattanooga, but it's not that way worse compared to Atlanta, and definitely NYC or LA, which are the two leading cities in bad traffic of America.

Truth

Truth

It is when the Chamber of Commerce is trying to ruin this place like they did Austin.

Teddyrose yes it is

Tennessee Ridgerunner well I mean it can't all just be white southerners..we saw how that turned out before

Never said anything about "white" Southerners, you did. How what turned out before? What are you saying good doctor?

Yes sir Dr. Bowtie, as a man of science, I was hoping to get a very detailed explanation as to how you saw the term "white Southerners" in my original post.

racist

Mr. Dynamite Gaming, what do you base your accusation on? That is such a pejorative term for you to use so freely with no basis in fact. With all due respect Mr. Gaming, what was it in my statement that you saw, that fits with the Webster's definition of "racist"? It seems like these days that "racist" is the go-to word to try and disparage someone you don't agree with or shut down the free flow of ideas. I think people would just as soon be called a "murderer" rather than be called a racist. Anyway, I digress- I look forward to hearing from you Mr. Dynamite Gaming.
