Birmingham Alabama Most Dangerous Hood Parts 

Yeah but or lose came years before Detroit's , the steel collapse of the 60s 70s took it out

@@williammoran4898 US STEEL FAIRFIELD WORKS was rolling hard in the 60s into the early 70s. Mid 70s was the start of the sharp decline. Rebuilding Japan and Germany post WWII (at American taxpayer expense) and the more modernized steel plants there hurt US STEEL as much as anything. Japan and Germany began producing cheaper low AND higher grade steel much more efficiently than the older open hearth furnace methofs and the qbop (sic) more modernized furnaces were started too late in most US plants. Huge union benefits and greivances during the attempt to modernize didnt help during struggling times either.

Detroit is Alabama. Alot of people live in Detroit is from Alabama or came from Alabama. Alot of them are from the Birmingham area.

@@BrandonandYolani that was the first thing I noticed too! Wow

@@BrandonandYolani you are absolutely. Birmingham, just like any other city has its faults, bilghts, and misfortunes. Poverty, health issues, ab abundance of migrants moving into the areas as well low paying employment. If the elected officials don't create programs, investments into the communities where it's needed, senior housing, people with disabilities, increased youth programs, higher education incentives. And what's the deal with cut backs on training programs. Businesses have also cut back with donations and community services. There are also some great areas in the city, public transportation has improved, touring has improved, streets have improved, sanitation has improved, education is improving, along with building and cleaning up abandoned areas. Crime is up everywhere, not just here. Hospitals and clinics are overbooked just as other cities. I appreciate this eye opening video but you also need to give the city some credit for at least attempt ing to make it a better place. Of, course people need to take a lil pride in their communities as well. They don't have to wait for the city to clean around their own back and front doors. They have to look for the police to administrater productive safety measures in their homes, and streets. Let's help one another by reaching out and not always approaching the negative. It's going to get better and there will be a brighter day. Steal plants gone, pipe plants moved, ice cream plants closed, milk plant closed, productive sources of income have also affected the poverty increase.

It went bankrupt on the account of helping people with no insurance. Good doctors with good intentions.

I was born in caraway hospital in 1962 it didn't go broke helping poor people the county hospital is about 5 miles away and my dad ran it so I know what I am talking about caraway closed down because you couldn't drive through that area without taking your life in your hands my dad kept Cooper green open for another 25 years after the corrupt county government wanted to close it and actually had a surplus every year of several million dollars while the Jefferson County board was claiming that they couldn't afford to keep the lights on a few of those people went to prison and my dad helped put them there don't believe everything you hear

That’ll be uploaded in the near future

Definitely. I live in Birmingham and it's completely different depending on time of day in these areas.

Hell0. How is it different?thanks

Yes I deliver doordash in these areas at night TRUST me its scary

I guess you haven't seen the slums of England?

Large decline in population, no jobs, and very high crime drove people out of there.

Absolutely

I grew up in south side. I went to Avondale elementary

Born and raised in B'ham as well, near Huffman high school, I went to chalkville. My mom and I moved to Chelsea, AL when I was in HS but my dad owned & lived in a house in Eastlake Park for 30 years. He moved to Graysville 15 years ago.

Most places that you see on the channel have very little patrolling, at least from what I've seen when being there. I would say Florida has the most patrolling if I were to pick a state.

Thanks for watching!

This is only a small part of an otherwise we'll off city. If you saw a cherry picked video of the best parts you would get a totally different Impression

@@thatcrazykid1393 define "well off"

Gate City has a very bad reputation. I suspect people with tools aren't going to risk spending time there.

I recognized Gate City right away, ‘cause they look exactly as they did in the eighties

@@RowanLovecraft2 Gate City had a bad Reputation in the ‘50’s

They actually tried to move out of the neighborhoods. And because of that, they rezoned the schools and all. If you live in an apartment, nice or not your kids go to school in a low income zone . Ppl actually tried to better themselves.

Most of the apartment buildings you see in this video are government housing. The first set has been abandoned, but the later ones are still occupied. Looks like those shots were taken just after sunrise.

None of my videos are in the morning. This was filmed around 3pm. It was about 94 degrees out, so perhaps the folks wanted to stay indoors.

@@hoodsnhollers my bad. Lighting looks like early day. I bet it is heat plus humidity keeping people inside. This summer has been extra humid here.

Gardendale .)

true

They've been there for a while now

Well, do it! I know for a fact that you can buy properties like those for cheap.

One lady had a few for sale at like 5k each one time...We passed lol....

Right. You literally have to go deep within the neighborhood

Plenty to see off the 65 and 20-59 if you look .)

@Nancy Smith Nothing.

That's a lot. I'm sorry that you've lost so many friends.

Why people left does areas

I’ll upload that in the near future. And you’re right Selma is awful

West end area Birmingham alabama

Some look like North Birmingham, 1st Ave towards Airport & Norwood.
