BRITS React to Why Nobody Lives In These 10 Empty Big Cities 

I live in Virgina Beach, and it is not to crowded until you get on the freeway during rush hour

He talks about this, but New Orleans is permanently scarred from Katrina. Many fled to Texas forever. Skip Mardi Gras. It's a nightmare.

Jacksonville's city limits include the whole county so it's huge in area but small in population.

Jacksonville is huge, but like any other city, there are areas that you can live in that are in close proximity to shopping, work, beaches, etc. People move to Jacksonville to get away from the crowds and traffic that is in places like Miami or Tampa. Housing is also cheaper. You are less likely to get hit by a hurricane, and the weather is cooler compared to cities that are further south. You also have the military. If you want to drive to nearby cities, you are only about 2 hours from Savannah, GA and Orlando, FL. You can also visit historic St. Augustine that is about 45 minutes. I use to live in crowded cities like Atlanta, GA and Tampa, FL and did not enjoy spending over two hours a day in traffic.

Btw Jacksonville has a huge Naval base.. one of the biggest In the USA

When my wife and I were dating, she lived in Memphis and I lived in Nashville. I'd drive down and hang out on weekends. I finally convinced her she needed to move to Nashville which was growing fast and positively. Memphis is a rough place. The southside is a war zone. Lots of poverty. It's also a Mississippi River city. The place has been sketchy throughout its history.

No, I've never heard of anyone ever saying they were vacationing in...Tulsa! In fact, no one even thinks of Oklahoma as a whole, other than passing through it to get to Texas. Then again I'm in Charleston, SC which is one of the biggest tourist meccas internationally and domestically in the US (for such a small city).

The channel Joe & Nic's Road Trip visited multiple cities in every state and just completed the journey in Alaska. The surprise was not Anchorage, but the capitol Juneau, which they thought was the most beautiful city in all the US. The city is nestled on a massive river that runs into the Pacific Ocean, and is overlooked by a mountain range and you can only get there by boat or plane. Plus the downtown has an old school vibe because it was a former gold mining destination, and you can actually see whales in the channel from the shore.

Jacksonville Florida has anexed the whole county. Much of the county has very few people in it.

I love New Orleans and Memphis, but just for visiting. History, food, etc. galore. People chronically online will say you have arm yourself to go to either but that’s just dramatic (for the most part lol).

Memphis is rough. The rest of Tennessee is better. You can visit the historical places in Memphis but it's getting worse in terms of crime.

Here’s some unsolicited advice and I don’t even live there…North Carolina (anywhere in the state). Low cost of living, great weather, mpountains, ocean, highly educated people, friendly people, beautiful areas, low crime etc. Texas, crowded and hot, Florida, hot crowded, high crime. I live in Northern suburb of Atlanta and it’s ok but again North Carolina has everything you want. Just my 2 cents worth. Cheers

Nothing going on in Jacksonville? They have Fred Durst and that's all they need.

There's a whole lot of "nobody" in these cities...where's the "empty"/ These videos are ridiculous. Just because a city isn't a tourist trap, doesn't mean it's empty.

9:11 This will probably sound weird, but I really want to visit Barnsley after playing a very… quirky game based off of it. 😂

You can’t put Memphis in the same category as Nashville for violent crimes… just like you can’t put Nashville in with Knoxville for the same violent crimes. Wanna live with the country music scene then move to Nashville. Wanna have a great house with the Tennessee Vols and mountains out back move to Knoxville or gatlinburg area. O btw all in 1 state

These videos from this dope are just bs. He makes stuff up as he goes just to be relevant, the whole thumbnail is misleading. He's comparing all these cities to NYC, LA, Boston...etc... Well guess what, we have large densely populated cities, medium less densely populated, like the ones he's mentioned, and small cities. And let's not forget, most of these cities he's mentioned are in big open areas where you can spread out. It's hard to do that on the East Coast or California. I would take this dudes videos with a grain of salt.

New York City has a few thousand large apartment buildings. In New Orleans, I don't believe there are very many huge apartment complexes. I think that most people live in single family homes or small apartment buildings, especially not like the 10 story apartment buildings in NYC. Same with these other cities. Even though the cities themselves appear crowded, much of it is people that work there as opposed to people living there.

Tulsa has the highest amount of billionaires, per capita. A lot of oil money in Tulsa.

The Jacksonville Jaguars but there also is a huge Naval base and Naval air station in Jacksonville

Casinos if you come to Tulsa and medicinal weed.

We still have mid 19th century ghost towns in the western US.
