We take pride in our hoods out here in the Bean.We get live and don't snitch!There's money in Boston so it looks pretty but better believe you will get checked out here just like any other spot on the map.3z Up!
The hoods look so nice out here because the mayor put a new coat of paint on the city because of the gentrification that's happening. The hoods out here still get crazy. Not as bad as the south but not as pretty as the city tends to look.

People always get the misperception that if a hood is clean or expensive then it’s not hood! Just because there’s no trash strewn streets don’t mean shit! Compton got lawns and houses and you can still get it! DC is expensive, Philadelphia is expensive, so is Miami etc etc. I lived in New England as a kid and all the cities in southern New England are diverse and rough. Don’t let the smooth taste fool ya. Springfield, Brockton, Providence, New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and about 10 other little spots scattered. If you ain’t been there then don’t judge. I lived in Florida too. Palm trees and sunshine but don’t sleep! That’s all I gotta say
Attleboro mass used to be bad on the east with the cambodian gangs. It's a lot better now though. A few run down spots and violence here and there, but big difference now. Lawrence is still rough and fall river too
From Philly but visit Boston regularly. There’s parts to every city that ain’t so nice I think we can all agree to that. Boston is the same way but I will say Boston is one of the nicer cities in America and people from here should be like proud of that? Everyone can agree and acknowledge that there’s sketchy areas but overall Boston is beautiful. Atleast compared to where I’m from it is
@@nas-hk6xo do you even live in mass bc if you don’t don’t speak, there’s nothing racist bout mass it’s just like any other state ppl trying to make a living is really all, everyone is down to earth
Lived in Massachusetts my whole life Cambridge(Central Square), Allston and now Somerville and I wouldn't want to live in another state. My step family are in Dorchester and they are Cape Verdean so I'm there once or twice a week.
During the period between the 1960s-1970s the City of Boston developed an urban renewal plan to make Boston a city for the wealthy elite. This is part of why Boston looks the way it does today. If it was not for community activism, the character of all Boston neighborhoods would have been ruined. Boston has also become one of the most gentrified cities in America - this doesn't mean it no longer has tough neighborhoods, it just means there is a much larger divide between the "Haves and the Have Nots" within a much smaller space than other cities.
Do not let these streets fool you! Yes this is the hood but you cant even afford to live there. 3 bedroom apartments are $2400 a month! These homes are worth 1 million plus. Location is key , minutes away from downtown Boston where all the top jobs are, and Logan Airport. Boston has one of the best transportation systems. You can travel all over the state of MA on public transportation and connect to other states by commuter rail. Investors swamped these areas for homeowners to sell their property.
I have walked round Boston for years when over on holiday visiting family and have never had a single problem! Boston is my second home! Anyone looking for trouble will find it anywhere in the World! Some amazing people in Boston!
I saw a woman try to burn a stranger with a cigarette and take her cellphone in downtown Boston. I had never seen anything like this before, and I like in the deep Bronx.
Boston has a little hoods in the Hyde Park area and South Boston. Boston is very expensive because of housing shortage of high demand of college students and working professionals at top rank universities, life science, biotech legal services and healthcare. Boston Cambridge area is the biotech capital of America. Boston is the east coast version of San Francisco.
@@carbon6951 southie is gentrified , but the western part oferby Andrew square is stillrough cause of all the heroin addicts ..there still small part of hyde park that is rough ..i live in dorchester its not too bad ..alot of gentrification
Me too, I remember Boston back when it was real tough, especially when the Combat Zone and Southie were still around and Revere Beach could get dicey at night, Lynn was rough back then, but where this guy I is driving through is calm compared to the "old" Boston of my youth.
@@henry7765 True, not compared to NY, or Philly for that matter but for those of us wh grew up in or around Boston from the sixties to the eighties it was rough enough in some area, there are still certain areas that aren't safe at night if you don't "fit in".
No offense but I'm glad Boston doesn't look like a violent failing toilet bowl like St Louis. The real power is seeing civilized communities being able to build, maintain and help themselves. St Louis people can't even do simple things like pick their own trash off the ground.
@@knightclassic1 yup almost always the city number 1 most murders per capita ..used to be 900K people thriving city, then the jobs left and the poor and middle class POC got stuck there with no jobs..and it all went to hell
Now Boston this is what I wanted to know about I heard it was expensive to live here from the locals never knew they had hood hoods I guess it’s true every city has one and I ain’t mad at it 🙌🏼💯
It is expensive, but depends on where you want to live. People moving out of the city because rents keep going up but developers keep building more expensive housing.
@Russell But you can't get too close to the Cape either because those prices are really high too. Someone down the street trying to sell their house for over a million dollars despite it being assessed at "only" 700k. It's insane. When I look at where I grew up after we left Philly, but still in PA, you could buy an amazing home for 300k and rent luxury apartments downtown for 1500 a month.
new bedford and fall river mass and parts of rhode island have real bottom of the barrel living prices. people are making due down there, paying rent and bills on minimum wage and no government assistance. new bedford and fall river are an hour south of boston, in what is considered the south coast, as opposed to the south shore, which would be brockton and Weymouth and shit.
@Russell lmao probably. I've never gone past adderall in that regard. they have lots of open air drug and prostitution markets still in 2020 tho. lmao. I'm sure a lot of people down there dont even own cell phones.
this "my hood is tougher than ur hood or that hood is more dangerous" comparisons is just dumb. Ppl sticking their chests out about which hoods are worse is just plain dumb. It's all relative. Been to 2 weddings in the last 3 years in Chicago and St Louis and felt relatively safe hanging with some hood groomsmen, then went to visit family in Virginia Beach and didn't feel as safe chillin with them, stop this "it's not as bad this city" mentality
#BAGLIFE MIKE Boston has way more bodies than San Fran. This man showed u 8 minutes of Boston hood and you think you know. I been out to emery like San Fran East Oakland Vallejo. My cousin lives out there. Boston is grimier mostly cuz everything is older, plus the snow, and it a lot more high rise projects. He just didn’t go to em
Its all about perspective. If your'e not from there its "safe." If you're a young black/latino kid from Dorchester, Roxbury, or Mattapan its "gangland" (at least back in the 80's 90's). I haven't lived there in 20 yrs but I imagine its the same mentality. When I go there now I feel safe. I dress different, walk different, talk different. Back then I was a typical inner city street kid and hardly ever felt safe outside of my neighborhood, and often in my neighborhood.
00:38 (Dorchester) Franklin Field Projects!!! My old hood were I grew up. / !!! \ 3 stripes There's Still much more you have to hit up Mattapan(murdapan) Roxbury Hyde Park Roslindale The Point Heath st Academy Mission Hill Franklin Hill Castlegate st Grove Hall Uphams Corner Egleston Square Washington Park Dudley Great job as always!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Boston is so GENTRIFIED it's not even funny. Shit was real in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Black people either moved down south or scattered throughout the state, and I hate to say it dead or in jail
People fail to understand the west coast and east coast isn’t going to look as bad as the Midwest or south but don’t let that confuse you for a second . A lot of Midwest and southerners come to these big cities think it shit sweet then end up dead smh . This doesn’t look nice to me at all but I’m from NY so I can tell how our hoods look
I think southern hoods look nicer than up north. I live in Atlanta now- lots of single family homes, trees, grass and nature- unlike up north- I think the south is nicer tbh. I’ve seen neighborhoods that are hood down here but up north ppl would think it looks like the suburbs no lie.
@@Mark-oy1wv Boston gets the last laugh because Detroit is a toilet bowl. Don't try to use that reverse psychology stuff trying to make Boston people feel bad for not having violent ghettos and failing communities like Detroit.
Or Sao Paulo. In this video a man plays the piano in the back of a pickup truck as it slowly cruises through what's apparently a very upscale residential part of Sao Paulo. You can't actually see many houses because they're all walled off from the street, that's how out of control crime is in the city. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJrmVyCWbq8.html
I went to high school in the 90’s in Springfield and it was nice back then. (Central High) Your both right it is horrible now. Holyoke was nice back in the 90’s. We used to go to the Holyoke Mall back in the day.
I’m in Lynn Massachusetts, Murder is everywhere. Playgrounds, the streets, and in houses. That being said, if you don’t bother anybody, they won’t bother you.
@4465Vman for a small city of only 90,000... 3 murders is a lot. I was born and raised in Lynn. Moved to Florida and was gone for 13 years. Moved back to Mass in 2018 after building a family in Florida. Told my girl that if I move back the 3 L's are out. Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence 😂. I could've added many more to that list but I was just pinpointing the Northshore.
Boston is a charming city, but has a history of racism though. I think this neighborhood is Roxbury. Lots of famous people are from Roxbury, Guru(RIP), Patrice Oneal, Ronny Devoe! They call it the heart of Black Culture is Boston
I’d say looks are deceiving. It’s one thing to see it from a screen and think it’s “cute” or “nice”, but when you actually LIVE THERE AND EXPERIENCE IT, it’s a whole different story. There are areas I wouldn’t even walk, let alone at night. Crime, poverty, gang violence, and gentrification are still alive and well here. Don’t know why people are trying to compare hoods it’s not a competition lmao.
I live in Waltham, MA but i been all over Mass, good and bad parts. So for hoods you should checkout: Central MA: Holyoke, Springfield, Worcester Western MA: North Adams, Pittsfield Eastern MA: Chelsea Northern MA: Lawrence, Lynn Southern MA: Fall River, Brockton, New Bedford
That’s not the hood sorry there’s way more projecks then that sorry to tell you Dudley he could have went that way Roxbury Heath street hblock academy homes . cathedral projeck off Harrison ave Ruggles old side Mission Hill Lenox projecks franklyn hill projeks Charlene one and two 2 projecks that’s are the same but they kill each other’s orchard Park projects OP Columbia point projects you missed a lot bro you did all those other city’s right I gave you the map get it right all those places is Boston Geneva Avenue lucerne River Street mattapan Square Norfolk St., Corbett Morton St Bricks the mag Morse The Cape Verdeans Draper Windover The Dominicans in Eggleston Mozart Street yeah Niggah you just about missed all of Boston facts you got one real place franklyn field in your other video of Boston at night that was 1place do better
As a Bostonian I’d say it’s always been a cool city but just like everywhere else there’s good and bad. I have both good and bad stories about growing up in my city but that was during the 70’s and 80’s so things have definitely changed since then.
there's been 42 murders this year so far in boston most around dorchester, roxbury, and mattapan. Honestly I feel like a lot of stuff goes unreported here because it's not as nice as it looks.
As someone who is in walking distance of this place, it honestly aint that bad compared to what else ive seem this channel. The people still complain about their living situations but all they got smart phones and xboxes and what not
@Sarah Jane I love New York city and Philadelphia best big cities in america,and I'll add to that note, to each his own everybody knows what they like.and I like New York city
I’m from Sacramento but lived in Dorchester for a couple years. Super different in the Boston area but I loved it. Sports scene was top notch and simply just good people and good food. It’s pretty diverse in the area, never thought I’d see Vietnamese people and hella pho restaurants 😂
No.. Ya'll not even doing that to each other.. Boston had a tiny 39 murders last year.. That means bodies ain't dropping everyday like other major cities.. You should be proud of that.. Boston is a nice place to raise a family.
@@scottd7222 By the way, because of the tiny 39 homicides in Boston last year for 2021, Boston is now officially "BELOW" the U.S. National Average Murder Rate Per Capita.
Abandoned villages yes. But that whole areas of people living in mud and ugly houses. Fu and they themselves are the bottom of life. Moreover, these are entire areas. Come on, they can. This is an exceptional nation.
@@Лилечка-л9ь I'm sure there are hoods in some parts, but I can't imagine many. I've visited the Czech Republic a few times because I have family there and everything seemed fine for the most part. There were a couple run down areas in some of the smaller towns but that was pretty much it
I don't judge by the cleanliness cuz LA hoods all look nice from the outside. I'm from San Antonio and we got hoods with no trash or any gov service ( besides police, cuz they come no matter what) be looking like third world country in spots
Eman19O It's not. I promise you'll probably meet the most kind people here to be honest. Black,White, Spanish,Haitian,Etc. it's rough things too though. But not really racism.
Brendan Sullivan lol it’s only one of the most racially segregated cities in America. Just google or search RU-vid. Pretty easy and accessible to see all the claims and incidents
Eman19O You completely ignored my comment... It's a segregated but not the whole city is like that. There's a large variety of ethnicities that live humbly with each other. Sometimes you can't look at things with cold logic (statistics) you have to see or listen to a live person who knows or experience it for yourself.
Shane Tyray who ever you are you sound mad dumb I’m happy about where I was born and raised. I am not ashamed of it and nothing I can do about it , However I did make it out and overcame it unlike you I’m proud of where im from . My city is what made me the women I am today and make something out my life !!!!! Nothing in life is meant to be perfect we cant stop crime or what ever happens sometimes we just become use to it. I’m not glorifying anything that has to do with crime and murders . I’m reppen my city bitch and if you don’t like it you don’t have to like my comment or comment on it. So dismiss yourself!!!!!!! 🤡😂✌🏾💯
@@nitar26 u know where it is too sister...im just wondering why some1 would be happy to see their neighborhood in this type of video...in ur initial comment u said NOTHING about making it out of the hood...u was just happy to see that ur neighborhood was finally classified as a "HOOD"
Boston doesn't have any real bad hoods like they might have had in the 70's & 80's. I know Boston pretty well and I think its as safe as its ever been now. Boston Police really get a hold on things before they get out of control plus the hoods aren't that big to cover like other major cities in other parts.
you come back to RI you missed so much, every city has a ghetto: Woonsocket, Pawtucket, Providence are ghetto no matter what corner; East Providence: Riverside Cranston: Closest to Providence along Park Ave Warwick: Oakland Beach, Conimicut, Norwood, Lakewood
The *physical appearance* of these hoods don't look as bad as the other ones in previous videos. But i assume the *environmental conditions* of these hoods aren't very pleasant :(
The crime rates arent as severe either. These neighborhoods certainly aren’t without their problems but the crime rate is moderate compared to some of America’s rougher neighborhoods.
I think you need to consult a dictionary and look up the word "plague". If something turns a neighborhood from something better than a warzone, it is not a plague.
@@JasonJones-ty1xb I’m more than aware of the definition of plague, which is why I chose to use it….. What you need to do is understand that gentrification doesn’t always make things “better” for those already in the community… Millions of people across the country are being displaced from their homes because it…. But then again, you’re probably someone coming from a privileged background that doesn’t have an understanding of that….
Ben Wilk I’m not trolling. I’ve been living here for 30 years. This is one of the safest cities to live in the country. I’ve lived in Roxbury, Dorchester and mattapan. But now I live in the suburb. I’ve never experienced any crime in my entire life here. You should be proud you live in a safest city and not ashamed. Your mindset is fucked up.
Harry Sacks No your mindset is fucked up I’ve lost more than eight people living in this city so what you perceive is safe it’s not safe to me so watch what you say....I don’t know who you’re affiliated with but the people I know and who am affiliated with lost their lives due to gun violence so you probably grew up in a safe area or street in the city we’ve both obviously witness different shit...there’s not shit you can tell me....You was probably one of those kids who stayed in the house 🤣🤣🤣
You should do lynn the city of sin lol when i was out there years ago there was a car bombing everyone i ever meet or met mentions lynn I also been through danvers revere Salem all around that area
Yeah but the fact is though that Ray is plugged in with Detroit guys that set up shop in Boston. You should do the math on Columbia Point and YBI. Ray be out in Detroit on Dexter with big PEP. EM would get dragged out here trying to get fly js
Charlie started out in Franklin Field, a public housing project and definite hood. By 9:57 he's exploring the back of the hill (Mission-A/K/A Parker Hill) where old buildings were cleared out years ago for Lahey Clinic expansion. Lahey went to Burlington MA instead. Bill Rawn, Boston architect, designed these houses on the Back of the Hill in the '80s, maybe '90s. Nice work but yeah, sky high rents unless some have "affordable" subsidies.
@@quabbin3712 Yeah, but even Franklin Field compared to Brockton, Springfield, and other similar places isn't nearly as bad as a lot of the other cities he's visited. You're not seeing burned out cars and drug deals in broad daylight here.
and the hoods you went to aren’t the worst, trust me lol. Roxbury (Mission Hill, Heath St, etc) is really the worst , especially at night. The day time, nothing really is happening tbh … that’s why i said looks can be deceiving.
I agree when you said Heath st, but Mission Hill hasn't really been dangerous since the 90's.. You can drive by Mission Hill area at any time of night and see white women jogging or nerdy lookin Asian dudes walking their dogs.. It's been gentrified... Today, there’s some areas in Cambridge that are tougher than Mission Hill.. Lol 🤣
