Whats so cool about showin our nations hoods...real talk...what u doing to improve shit besides driving around knowing these youngins watching this bullshit
@@jeremyburkhart302 Im a RU-vidr not a politician you idiot. Have you asked the people who are avtually in charge of these places what they are doing ?
@@clutchron2x528 That's true alot of individuals are hard working just can't afford the cost of living for the so called good living "luxury." Survival of the fittest its a struggle everyday for the average working citizens/civilians Georgia's minimum wage is still $7.25.
Most of the original Atlanta hoods has been gentrified by urban developers, they’re slowly working on it all around the urban areas. My old neighborhood is now called Ashley Auburn Pointe it used to be called Grady Homes.
Hell yea, Grady homes and Capital homes used to be right next to it. I remember when they tore them down like they did all the hoods like East Lake Meadows, Hollywood Court, Bankhead Courts, Carver Homes TechWood homes Perry homes Herndon homes Bowen homes, Jonesboro North and South, I mean, I can keep going. But there are still a lot of hooded areas in Atlanta.
I live here. The boarded up houses are from the slumlords not upkeeping the homes and apartments not the people. Some of the best people you will ever know live here. Home sweet home!
Are the slumlords responsible for the trash also? Are they responsible for mowing the yards and cutting the weeds? People you can be poor and pick up your own trash, a little soap and water goes a long way.
Also: I've lived in what some would call a dilapidated house for a two year time period. The outside looked like utter shit, no lie. Cracked windows. Mismatched paint. Algae on the side of the house. But the rent was affordable and the inside NICE and clean. So I held my head high for those two years knowing what people thought...because I knew I was slowly stacking my dollars for something better. So that gave me a different perspective on judging based off of looka alone.
I walked through there (English Ave etc.) at night as a 20 yr old kid from Germany on vacay. Everything was fine, I even asked for directions and was helped in a cool, friendly manner, although I had difficulties understanding the thick accent. The dudes I asked considered that and slowed down their speech. I have nothing bad to report on these areas. The next day we set off on a massive road trip all the way to Alaska. Glory days
I didn't perceive any danger - just poverty. I'm an Uber/Lyft driver. I'm in these neighborhoods daily and have never felt unsafe, despite giving over 11,000 rides.
@Zion Bump some Run The Jewels too. Killer Mike is ATL old-school swag. I'd recommend Legend Has It for some smiles and Oh My Darling if you have kicker speakers. El-P has that mix the ladies like. Sample: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G-S9mtYowPY.html
Straight up bro, it’s a jungle here, I’m on Cascade and MLK,South West of Atlanta and It gets wild over here quite often. Somebody got shot right after Me and my girl left the bottle house liquor store just a couple of weeks ago. Crazy down here. And I’m from California.
@@tiborisestafford5478 Well if you are from California then any crazy shit you see there is nothing new that you haven't seen by you being from California......No offense intended I have family in California and I live in Texas.
These places in the South look so peaceful and quiet, even the hoods. It's also fascinating see a lot of decent looking cars parked in front of dilapidated housing.
Common thing in ghettos, nice cars parked outside rat holes. I guess if they had their priorities right and any idea how to manage their money, they wouldn't be living there in the first place.
Y’all really hate dense cities in these comments. However, the reality is the quality of the housing for the poor is better in Northeastern cities than in the South. In the South most really poor people live in shotgun shacks or trailers, but y’all act like Philly and Baltimore are the worst places on Earth.
@@this_number I was bout to say too many trees is one of the wildest things I’ve ever heard in my life. Who the hell prefers concrete over actual nature?
Lush greenery, paved roads, lot's of free-standing houses with their own driveway. This area has all the potential to become a very nice neighbourhood.I'd say we invite the inhabitants to get together, do some communal cleanup project, help each other to repair their houses and have some nice neighbourhood gardening going on, this place would be perfect.
AYO_JJDAMN it still has its hoods around Atlanta some suburbs are hood like college park East point Clarkston maybe river dale as metro Atlanta crime goin up. Some areas outside of atl still have housing projects.
WELCOME back to the SOUTH!! Please consider SOUTHSIDE LOUISVILLE again! artist Bryson tiller is from there. Walter Ave - Hartwell Court - Colonial Oaks - Wabash place - Douglas Park - Mitscher Ave - Woodland and S 3rd street there is a little strip mall with CUban and Haitian stores for your good appetite my friend! Very close to the BERRY taylor hoods you did a video for one time and they HATED on you LOL - than head NORTH of that area and do 13th st PARK HILL projects
Fortunately many of these apartments have been knocked down and the residents given section 8 many moved to Stone Mountain and south of the airport. These neighborhoods are changing so fast it’s crazy
@@harrisonwells9139 I'm in Liberia now. Here is real freedom because there is no law. I like it to be here even though it is so poor, over here I'm free. I will never go back to the police state US of A.
When I was moving to Atlanta back in 2017 I got on the internet to find apartments. After I found five a friend and I rode down to see the properties in person before I decided and glad we did. The number one property that looked good on the internet and rent was unbelievable, when I pulled up I pulled right back out! Trash was everywhere and a few were boarded up. Lol! I was shocked. But I found a more expensive nice apartment in C. Park but loved it and the neighborhood.
Georgia, Tennessee, Carolina's, Alabama hoods all look the same to me. Old run down wooden abandoned houses and lots of trees. Even their housing projects all also look the same.
@jaynizzy1993 yeah in some always yes but New York, Philly, and Baltimore hood is more grimy. Graffiti all over the walls and trash thrown out in the streets. But that's nothing new the for those cities they always been like that ever since the 80s.
At the beginning he starts on Lanier St and pulls into the corner store on Simpson....do yall remember the Simpson Houses apts that used to be next to the cornerstore.? Folks called them The Pit. There was also the yellow brick apts behind them off Holly St.
It looks rough, but the people around here are some of the nicest I've met! I know a friend who lives in this area, and I never felt unsafe around there. Downtown Atlanta on the other hand, now that's a different story.
Ride through SW ATL aka the Swats Ben Hill Rd, I am from FL, but grew up there for a few years on my dads side of the family. This is when ATL was ATL during the late 90s and early 2000’s now unfortunately it’s still booming and vibrant but it’s changed dramatically.
darius318 yeah bruh it’s sad my Dad mother’s passed in 2017, she was backed up on her mortgage. So my Dad had to sell it, it was in bad shape, investors bought it and sold it for around that price
Oh yea one more you can’t mention Bankhead and forget about Simpson rd. Bowen homes, Perry homes, Dixie hill, Hollywood Court Bankhead Court, Ethelridge, a lot of shit happen in these neighborhoods, I’m surprised that he was even riding through some of these areas. But it’s not like how it used to be when you couldn’t even ride through a lot of these areas.
I lived, for work, 2 months in Atlanta. I never saw mansions like the ones u can find in the buckhead area. I will check if you have a video of that. This vid was sad and good.
When I was a kid if you drove in the country about every 1/4 mile there would be an old sharecropper shack with a yard full of kids. After the Great Society of LBJ the shacks disappeared and the sharecropper kids were in ATL. Neighborhood after neighborhood went from working class white to poor black. East Atlanta, Decatur, East Point, Riverdale, Bankhead, South DeKalb, Lithonia, College Park, Hapeville, Redan, Stone Mountain and now Gwinnett, Clayton,Henry Counties. We have a saying in the ATL “I remember when this used to be a nice area”. Thank a politician they love poor voters who blame an unseen enemy for their lot in life. So many decent hard working caring responsible citizens who are overwhelmed by the uneducated unmotivated uncaring element.
