Many of my subscribers have been posting requests and sending private messages asking for me to go and do videos in certain places out west especially lately, including the Los Angeles area, Oakland, Texas cities such as Dallas, and Houston. Also many more southeast cities, Miami, Birmingham also St Louis, Boston, New Orleans, and many others. This as you know is very expensive. I will eventually go to these places, if you would like to see this happen sooner rather than later, please make a donation to through Paypal donation I have set up with a debit or credit card, no matter how big or small.

Trajan you have to know how to mind your own business, people are not as bad as television makes them out to be in ruff neighborhoods, night time can be different. I just want to fix those pot holes on the road so bad
This man looked like he just stayed on N. Main Rd. he should’ve went to Monticello, Broad River, two notch could’ve went through neighborhoods like the colonies, Rock gate, Lincolnshire, The bishop and crane forest and he didn’t even touch the north east side of Columbia
I've read some of the comments and just because these are low rent homes does not make the people less valuable just because they do not live in a, "gated" community. Some of the worst and most vile evil and violent people you can ever meet come from affluent backgrounds.
Thank You for your reply and just the fact that people have to be reminded that money does not equals morals, common sense or being a good person reflects sadly on this country we live in.
john smith to be exact we had a guy kill his best friend and his wife on some frame type stuff right out of a place called Apscot homes where they start at 500k cause he wanted some money and he came from money.
I actually saw a few homes that was quite Pretty , A few the brick homes looked nice, And few the wooden ones too , Some looked very much like some of the old style coal houses we have here in The Appalachian Mountains, They would surprise you , You think they fall down with the slightest wind , But a lot very sturdy, And like these homes , And their caretakers, You can't judge them From the outside, Those houses are gems just waiting to be polished up, I prefer older homes , They've proven themselves with their endurance of time , Might need a bit maintenance, But many prove to outlast some modern ones , My opinion of course !💁
Maybe I’m biased (I’m from S.C.) or maybe it’s the trees and grass, but S.C. hoods look a lot more pleasant than a lot of the other hoods on this channel.
Amen!at least alot of them try to keep their yards clean and have a nice place.If u.try and keep it nice,it wont look so bad and run down.I am from SC also and my daughters lives in Columbia but,Ive never seen this part .I love my SC
These roads are in deplorable shape, these apartments are city property. Where is all the taxpayer dollars going? This area needs better Legislative representation. Vote!
Welcome to the world of Nikki Haley!!! And Mark Sanford was too worried about screwing whores to care... Haley is too worried about Israel so there ya go
Colored politicians dont care,they wont live in the ghetto but will make every state with HUD ghettos.It all a scam.They want people to riot to get more benefits while they get rich,eventually the white taxpayer money will run out for the colored women to have 5 to 10 kids who wind up carjacking,selling drugs , stolen guns and robbing stores all to keep the prisons full,lol
Angela S excuse me. If the city is looking so bad, you should look at the mayor. Compare to Greenville, they have the same governor but the city is booming. Why? Because the mayor fights for the city and tries to help the city.
catwithoutthe hat and the mayors before him were not doing a good job either. Sorry to say if you are a Democrat, but they all were democrats. I think Columbia should take a chance and try something different. We have nothing to lose. If we go the same path, we will be doomed.
@catwithoutthe hat I understand what you say. I wouldn't put rich vs poor. I think is greedy polititians vs citizens. I agree, there is corruption on both main parties but I have observed that democrats are ruining many cities already. More than Reps. Look at Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, San Francisco. Democrats don't know how to be fiscally conservative. They don't know how to improve the cities they lead.
I’ve lived in North Carolina and then South Carolina for the last 7 years on my own. Now I’m back in North Carolina. I didn’t know anyone there. They say Columbia gets rough. I think a lot of the violence that occurs is between people that know each other. I was homeless in Columbia and slept in my car. Not once did I feel unsafe. I would not do that in my hometown Detroit where I grew up all my life.
Lot of family homes there and like any older neighborhood people are older. This is where grandparents live & no they arnt gardening because they are retired. They spend there money on vacations and the kids. Many of the property s have been bought by slum lords & last year we made lawyers so we could stop some of that. But im not ashamed of the streets you call "the hood" I think its all good.
@@southernwayscga1630 I been walking in these as of late and outside of trash and an old old run down look and a few shit hotels, I like it a lot. This is a safe place even in the "bad" spots.
@@Frezorare That seems to hold things together indeed and I think the fact its not an extreme coastal area helps.. St Pete is worse than this for instance.
@@LongLeggedOne what places do you recommend staying away from pcsing down there like a heads up where to not go. But I ain't stupid either I grew up in south flat cali and it was tough. Drive by, burglaries, poor just stealing from poor, people up all night, couldn't walk alone, super hard life but when people would move there we didn't fuck with them. A we didn't want them in our business and 2 if they start shit won't be shit. Anytime I move to a new location I just keep to myself and go about my buisness. But that won't mean you won't get those little shits looking for something like my car being broken into smfh, and flitting my tires for no fucking reason. I like to stay from areas who act like this dont care if its run down as long as its a respect thing you know keep to yourself you're good type thing.
I currently live in Columbia, SC. There’s good people here that work hard and don’t mess/bother people. I’m very blessed to be on the northeast side but everyone don’t have the same opportunities afforded to them. Sometimes it tough, but there are still good people in the city
Bro you're getting around the country! Damn.. Killing it in South Carolina. Interested hoods and housing out there.. Those potholes are huge.. Keep it up, your still inspiring me to keep drivin!
I lived in Columbia for 15 years and these areas are not the HOOD!!!!! If you did not go through Saxon Homes by Allen University or Green St. behind MLK park, you haven't seen shit there... these are dream areas compared to what you show up North... AND you can always count on Southerners to be courteous, dude waving you through at the 4 way would never happen up there with you Yankees.... yewwwwww Southern Hospitality even in the ghetto - gotta love it!!!!
Right I'm in spartanburg SC now and it looks the same unless you're be the courthouse. Just moved from west Charlotte and by far got everything beat called a "hood" down here and grew up in BMORE where my crib was the only one not boarded up on the entire block lol this lil ride is a joke
I actually live in Irmo, SC which is like 15 minutes outside of Columbia, SC the capital. I’ve never actually seen how bad some of the neighborhoods could get and although a lot of these people are poor, most of them are very friendly people.
i lived in orangeburg sc for 4 yrs and never had any problems.most were broke like myself! just good country black folks who'd give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it but if you ever crossed them or fucked with their family(i did neither of them) you could come up missing and the police would never find your ass!😊
I'm from New Zealand and I must say at least those houses look tidy unlike some of the houses in low social economic areas here in New Zealand....I never judge people living situation just glad they got something they can call home...
It's funny. I deliver and install appliance's in Columbia and I saw 5 or more houses I've delivered to. All the people I've ran into have been extremely nice. And the old lady's that have owned and lived in some of these houses for years and years are some of the sweetest people you will ever met. If you go inside they have their home's set up and decorated as good or better than any rich person I've delivered to. And I've delivered and installed for a bunch of rich people. It's all how you choose to live your life. Moneys just a bonus.
this is "the hood"? really.. nicer than any neighborhood here.. lots of grass and trees.. wide road to drive on.. every house has a decent sized yard.. no fences on the properties, no bars on the windows..
Charles Xavier Columbia is the country version of the city remember SC is the south so it's going to look different this is like what you see on the other side of the white house when you visit DC
Charles Xavier yes I lived there for 2 years and that same area and it was nice and quiet they got a fishing area no police and I'm coming from Baltimore so it look good to me they even have a wildlife in that area I didn't call that ago they got nice house in those areas also white and blacks live in that area I never had a problem
Looks like right off two notch road. You got close to some areas where fire/emt refuse to go unless escorted. Nearby there was a brand new development the city spent tens of millions on that was n i c e... Within 6 mo it was destroyed. Metal hand railing, man hole covers, shutters, a/c units and even plants and trees were stolen.
LOL that's what I was just writing 😂😂 I'm in spartanburg now. Just moved here from west Charlotte and grew up in BMORE.. this lil ride they on is a joke
I love Columbia, SC! It’s really a nice place to live, but like any city it has some rough areas. I was born and raised here I have never left. I grew up in the Windsor Lake subdivision in Dentsville/Arcadia Lakes (the old northeast Columbia). My father grew up in Saxon Homes (now torn down) near the old Drew Park and Hollywood Hills (North Columbia).
At 8:50 I think I see coming up a city park on the left. then you come to the stop sign. I think that's Pinehurst Rd. and School House Rd. across the intersection. If you turn left you come to Harrison Rd. Man I haven't seen that park since I was a kid in the 1970s. If that's the park, they built a bigger building. I can't tell but it used to have a sprinkler pool. Good times back then. Sometimes we used to walk to school at WA Perry, I wonder if that's still around.
I grew up off trenholm about 2 minutes away from decker blvd and dentsville. And decker/parklane/two notch can be super rough but it seems to be getting a little better at least from when I was a kid.
@CharlieBo313 I just recently found your videos and channel. Wanted to thank you for taking the time to do all this content. Being able to see how our nation truly is like in places as these without the biased involved is really rare to find now days. Please keep making content and you deserve a million more subs. Stay safe man!
I see this town has kept a lot of their housing projects......up in Columbus and Dayton, almost all of the really bad housing projects have been torn down
You didn't spell it wrong...you used it wrong. Just wanted to make sure you knew. You probably get two, too and to wrong, as a lot of people do as well. You're spelling is good but your grammar use is not. Carry on..
Craig Barnum ...Actually, for what I needed to describe I spelled it wrong. They are two different meanings. No, I do not misuse too and two. Nevertheless, thank you for the correction.
Hey love I appreciate wat you're trying to do in giving us veiwers the insight into some of these low income housing areas..Hey if you're ever further down low in South Carolina I'm from a hood call Eutawville I would really like for My people to see wats going on there... Many Blessings To you My Brother ❣️
I used to cop dope in this very hood. It’s a miracle I wasn’t killed. Can’t believe there are no people walking the streets. It used to be a very busy place. 24/7. Glad those days are over. Reminds me of the worst time in my life.
At least those home's have spaces between them come to California and see how everything is smashed together and you will know why people are getting sick n tired of the politicians telling people how to live
@@iyannalangford1565 that is the last place you want to live out side of SF like Concord, Antioch , Fairfeild, Vacavill, Wayward, Nials Fremont maybe would be better off even rent would be lower price or buying. Don't get me wrong way up North are some really nice places but you would have to be close to retiring or have employment to survive really beautiful home's country style off grid or on grid living. There's no corner store pretty much you'll be shopping for the month then going home people see each other maybe one's a month or everyday if you go to the local BAR.
I'm from Modesto, CA but moved a few years ago to Swansea, SC (bout 20 min from Columbia) and was amazed to see the difference in ghetto areas here versus in Cali... Waaaay worse in Cali....I think the biggest thing out here is abandoned buildings and so many millions of trailers... They're everywhere!
I live in Columbia and these parts are like the third world. There's just an acceptance by everyone that this is how it has been and always will be. Fucking tragic.
Lmbo at the COMMENTS I live in Columbia COLA I'm from Philly. Its amazing the things humans will watch. Thanks for entertaining us OBVIOUSLY you can't drive in Every single street in every Single hood but you're doing a good job for FREE. There are lots of beautiful and NOT so beautiful places in Columbia . And the people are 95% Pleasant :-) thanks again
I always thought the people standing outside EVERY liquor store were employees waiting to begin working their shift inside the store. I just didnt understand why they didnt shower before coming to work.
OMG, born and raised around these parts. Joined the navy and refused to return but never forgot where i came from......i still share my memories with my children. Well, what's left of my children. RIP: Ashia T. Williams age 27
I live in Columbia, SC but not a native. I just want to say you are in a lower income area of Columbia but you were not in the "hood". Mostly old homes with a income based area but good people with kids and low education.
Having lived in South Carolina while in my teens I always wanted to move back as I’m in Philadelphia currently and the rents are ridiculous , that and being on SSDI plus maybe it’s just a different environment, but then I think maybe the South is just like here idk.
Damn what you doing just going around in circles. If you GO to the trailer Parks, you'll see the other hoods, where the whites folks live, video tape that the next time.
Some of these homes were built in the 1940s. Alot of history here. I'm sure there are family's that have been in the community since that time. They pay taxes and the city won't fix the pot holes. This could be a flourishing town if leadership can bring business in the town without displacing the people.
Who are you looking for? Susan Smith she lives in Columbia on Broad River Rd. The same place you need to go for this. Could you drive around all the Catholic Cathedrals and start filming white male Priest?
Alright, so here's the real deal I'm not usually that inclined to leave comments on here due to the fact of others and their opinions at times. However, I had to speak out on this because I am a native of Columbia, SC born and raised. No offense to the individual filming this, but you chose to film a particular area that has simply been ran down over the years, with some respectable people that still live there side by side, has resided there at some point or either raised in that area. The place being filmed, was or still is known as being called, Howell Court. Most of it is Booker street, and Carver street, where decent families have once thrived and probably still is I'm sure. Now I know for a fact, that just a block or two around the corner there's other places that could have easily been deemed as being quite "hood", along with a few other close by neighborhoods up the road...yet, there has been improvements within these places, and meaningful life dwells there also. It's cool that these videos are made showing the darker sides of what life can be like in some lower class "considered" places. However, instead of filming certain areas just for show, go to the really hard down places, and talk about how rough life can get/be for other individuals and maybe even discussing ways of uniting to bring forth some kind of equitable change within the black community. I'm not trying to rant and rave on about it, just saying...It's my opinion is all, and no other intents besides.
Yeah I don’t think whoever is filming this wants to go to Gonzalez gardens and strike up a discussion lol. But it does shine a light on how bad our roads are here in Columbia though. I’ve hit way too many potholes and have seen metal plates being used longer than just a temporary fix and it’s ridiculous
Chadwicked B hell no gas ain't free at either one. And no Obama don't pay for we tax payers do and to be real Indians and arabs run these stores and they ain't giving up shit unless u a regular and u STILL gotta pay
Never understood what is so bad about these homes. I lived in an apartment building in queens NY and would of killed for a house with grass and a yard. The problem is they are not cared for. But the houses are better than where I grew up. Take care of your shit.
Thank you very much before I seen this video I had no documentation or pictures of my grandmothers house before they tore it down but now I do you went right pass her house on Carver Street off of Farrow Rd. once again thank you very much because they have torn it down now
These are hoods in columbia... this is not N.MAIN area... Y'all talking bout houses and nice yards, but these ppl don't own the land nor the house.. and don't go over there thinking it's sweet bc getting shot is a strong possibility around those parts. 💯 ~got 💜 for the ☝side~
@Bonnie D. Writer I know where this is Palmetto Terrence across the railroad tracks is C.A Johnson where my mother went 2 school and farrow rd on the corner the used 2 B hot spot literally I'm from 215 OL'G BYRNSWOOD...just reppin
@justmyopinion ur comment is gone, but I got the notification..i have stayed all over Columbia as well, And one thing is for sure, if u go to certain parts thinking it's sweet it's a high possibility of u getting shot! Like u said, if u mind yo damn business u good! And i know that for a fact!
This is clean, no trash visible. Hoods in Philadelphia and Camden NJ are infinitely worse. These are just neighborhoods where poor people live, but they are keeping it up.
E. Smith I live there from Baltimore for two years in that area I loved it it was quiet it had wildlife animals hit head ponds fishing areas Woods it was the best ghetto I ever seen I didn't even know it was ghetto that's why I moved there it was really nice people are nice I liked it
I’m from Columbia also and some of these places I’ve never seen before but most I have. I grew up in Hendly Homes but it’s been torn down and new homes were built. Lots of Ola es are considered the good until folks start seeing potential in it and move most folks out to build it up for others
My mom and dad lived there when they got married my older brother went to Booker t highschool down the hill on Rosewood you hit Olimpia hello to all in my old neighborhood
I WANNA LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS ALOT OF BLACK PEOPLE, AND THOUSANDS OF COP'S, ALL OVER The PLACE MAKING EVERYONE SHOW ID TO PROVE YOUR NOT WANTED, OR A TERRORIST, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE A PEACEFUL, UTOPIAN HEAVEN,. GOD BLESS AMERICA..
