Literally just moved from there back to ATL. Been there for 6 years due to the Army and can say it’s the safest place I ever lived. Only place where folks could go in the store and leave their car running and it still be there when they get back.
You must of lived in fort Bliss cause in the valley you can't do that shit bro your would end up sold in Juarez by the time you came out the store I would have your shit sold feria in my pocket 🤣🤣🤣
Been in El Paso 11 years now. My house not far from where this vid was shot. I can leave my keys in the SUV while in a store, never had anything bad happen to me or my family, nothing stolen out of my yard, no problems with the neighbours (which, I know most all of them). It's been called one of the safest cities over a half-million for many years. Folks are friendly. Can't ask for a better place. I carry a sidearm regularly--and mostly open carry in the summer when it's over 100° and never, not ever, had anyone say anything negative to me about it in over a decade. For fun, I like to watch visitors absolutely freak and lose their stuff when all they hear is Spanish in most places. Love it here. Retired, and will probably go to dust from here. Thanks for the vid!
IM A NEW YORKER WHO MOVED TO EL PASO IN 2014. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE BRONX NEW YORK. I SPENT 48 YEARS IN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE. I'M LUCKY IM NOT BALD. THEY SAY, IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THERE, YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE, AND BELIEVE ME ITS TRUE. EL PASO IS A BEAUTIFUL AND RELAXING CITY WHERE THERE ISN'T TOO MUCH STRESS. IM VERY GLAD I MOVED FROM THAT INSANE AND SUPER STRESSFUL CITY. I LOVE EL PASO AND WOULD NEVER, EVER GIVE IT UP FOR NEW YUK. EL PASO STRONG 💪.
You showed me nothing. I lived in the deepest part of South El Paso. From Piasano to the 900 block of South Kansas. What you showed me didn't register 🤷
And there's loads of old people who are either too old to maintain their homes, or their relatives are too broke to help fix them up considering how the economy is right now.
As many of the comments have said, this isn't really the hood, these are just old neighborhoods that have maybe not been maintained too well. The houses are old but you rarely if ever come across any abandoned or "trap" houses, the streets are not in the best condition but they're kept clean as you can see, and the people are good and respectful and care for one another, and if they don't care they at least mind their business. El Paso might be missing a lot of the amenities other large cities are accustomed to, but you can feel safe and comfortable day-to-day.
The building at 5:53 is my business. The street at 3:09 is where my old business was located at. I travel the street at 4:23 to get to my business. At 5:03 you went the wrong way down a one way street. If you were to travel the road 6:06 during the night you would be at the base of the star on the mountain which is illuminated at night. At 6:50, in the far distance is Juarez, Mexico. Thanks for the video.
I was thinking while watching this that El Paso looked a bit like Juarez. Out of all the places I've lived in the states Texas was my favorite. Loved the people, food and the weather. Being a native NYC'er I get homesick for Texas, if that makes any sense...
I’m from NY lived there from birth and moved to El Paso a few years ago. I love it. The people , the atmosphere. Haven’t had any issues . The environment is awesome.
Yeah everybody in El Paso is down to earth we're not stuck up here we don't think that we're better than anybody else we just help people out and take care of our own but we're always down to give out a helping hand when people need it but don't mistake that kindness for weakness if you betray someone from El Paso there's always consequences and El Paso El Pasoans got a lot of heart and are very loyal!!!!!
@@thomaslee9322 so true everyone literally just minds their business and are kind to others . Not like NY ,in NY they don’t say Hi to random strangers and looking at people actually makes them mad if they don’t know you 🤦🏽♀️. And if you don’t talk and act like everyone else or own the latest “Jordans” or act tough it’s a big deal and theyll treat you like your below everyone else .The list is never ending 😂. I should have been born I’m El Paso because that place was so weird 😅🤣
Got stationed in Fort Bliss for 3 years,Honestly Elpaso was the safest city i have ever lived in. I regularly left my door unlocked, Everyone is relatively kind to each other and the food was amazing!
@@brandonvalle7120 he was in central, which is one of the oldest areas of El Paso. I don’t think El Paso has TRUE hoods like other cities. It has poor areas, but not hood.
Yup....Central. The ELP is a wonderful place to live. If we can get all of the ELPians to clean up and take care of their neighborhoods it would be awesome
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl
Every race has pride in their neighborhoods and families except BP. You can't get a white, Asian, Arab or Hispanic man to proudly get on camera and take pride in destroying the place where his family lives. It's tons of hood vlogs and rap video of BM proudly pointing guns and bragging about violence.
I’m from El Paso, this is the Central area of El Paso, which is are oldest are. I know live in Florida, which is beautiful, green and all, but I would give any thing to move back home. I had a peace of mind and felt secure there. I don’t have that here! You did a great job filming my city. Thank you, from homesick in Florida. 💕🙏🏾
These are the historic houses in El Paso. It's not ghetto at all. I remember driving by here when I used to live here and thinking how lucky these people were to be living so close to the mountain.
Nice to see allt he positivity in the comments here and people taking pride in the place where they live or come from. I'm from NY but stayed in El Paso twice and thoroughly enjoyed myself both times.
Whatchu smoking on? EP ghetto af, I'm here right now g. Jobs are poorly paid unless you already have a Career. Just a heads up. Still grateful to the 915, but loyal to the 951
@@albertomurillo4657 According to 99% of every other comment here you’re wrong 😂 Sounds like the only way you could think its really bad like that is if you never really lived anywhere else
Being from the Boston area I would love to live somewhere like this where it looks desert looking. I'm eying for either the tropical look like south FL or the desert look like AZ. This is very eye pleasing to me.
Grew up about 20 min south of Boston. Flew out to EP about 10 years ago to visit a lady friend who showed me around. Had a good time but there’s not really much to do or see there. Feel like it could get boring real quick.
El Paso is great, if you want the Arizona feel without being so close to the coast. El Paso has some amazing views and hiking trails, and we are getting more museums/parks/entertainment as we grow. Definitely a growing city. Additionally, the water resources are much more stable compared to those in Phoenix and Tucson, as El Paso has an aquifer as well as a river. Definitely an option to consider (and IMHO, it’s the best desert city in the American West). My two cents, as someone who moved to El Paso from the north.
El Paso is unquestionably the most scenic metropolitan large city in Texas .By the way- it also has the best weather,best food,friendliest people,most affordable,sunniest and is the safest city( the place is swarming with law enforcement)in Texas if not the U.S.A.Haters are just jealous. Nuff said!
I live in El Paso and other than parts of north east and central El Paso its about as safe as it gets and even then the only real problem is petty theft. But its rare to have serious crime problems
That guy was not even from el paso. The guy that shot up the walmart came from dallas or something. El paso was the safest place ever until that jackass screwed it up.
I’ve lived in KC, Philly, DC, Tampa, Chicago, OKC, Dallas as well as overseas and for the past 5years El Paso. El Paso is far, far, far nicer than Amy place I’ve lived and hope to die here of old age. Several years ago a twisted young man came to our fair city and shot up an area Walmart killing 23 and physically injuring at least 23 more. The first thing everyone who lives here thought was they can’t be from El Paso. Shortly after there were lines to donate at area blood banks and others brought coolers full of bottled water and food for those waiting in line. This s was the community’s response with no coordination. El Paso is as close to perfect as an place on earth. BTW they are called “barrios”.
El Paso Texas is great. The only criminal aspect to watch out for is the police department. The sheriff is no good either. Just try asking for a Officer complaint letter and you will be trying to charge you with anything ( obstruction, failure to ID, wasting government resources).
@@wisedisguise9210 back when it was a tuberculosis hospital there would occasionally have children there. At certain times of the night you could encounter the sound of a bouncing ball. A security guard told me he got weird vibes patrolling one of the upper floors.
I work as a courier for home health. I delivered couple times there and felt a negative energy, and I believe I went to second floor and it was like wicked asylum architecture, the Docs office of heavy steel doors, everything was a dull gloomy pale yellow, it was a very heavy sadness I felt in the few minutes I was in that place, as if you couldn't escape once you was a patient (in those times).. Lion of the Tribe of Judah is King Almighty!! Blessings!!
I live in Las Cruces NM went to a house party in the winter time before going home went to start my car went back inside while my car was warming up for got all about it someone came and said your car is running all I said was oh shit thanks bro and went home . I ❤️ El Paso , Tx.
UPS sometimes delivers Amazon packages to the wrong house on my street. We all just walk over the packages and nobody rips you off. It’s like that here. Nobody out to rip you off.
Yeah except the cops would stop you and harass you at that time they definitely will stop and question you and harass you and detain you and that will mess up your evening
Then you're really lucky because I always get hassled by the cops if I'm walking minding my own business but they always pull over and questioned me about this about that but you probably don't look suspicious or anything me I'm pelon so of course they see a gangster and of course they're going to hassle me
Exactly. Ive heard Abq stories & that city sound like its real active but El paso? Sounds like my kinda city, walk anywhere you want in the middle of the night & you’ll be good lol anywhere else Ive lived has never sounded that safe
I grew up In some of the worst hoods in the Bay area CA and have lived in El Paso Now for 6 years and EP is not the Hood or ghetto like some people claim it to be yes there are some rougher areas with drugs and small crime here and there not very often I live in the Northeast so I see some weird stuff here and there but nothing compared to Hunters point or Cypress in CA where the bloods and crips and or Nortenos and Surenos live blocks away from eachother in the same neighborhood
When I saw that mural, I knew exactly where you were. I lived on Rio grande Street one street over and I used to go run that area back in the day. El Paso is a fantastic place to live you very rarely hear about violence and shootings and things of that nature. Everybody is afraid of Juarez and so they throw El Paso into the mix which is really crappy
Lived here 32 yrs ago and the city has surely grown. Been back a year now while we wait to move to Las Cruces once our house is done. El Paso is not a bad place to live and the food is great!!! People are friendly for the most part. Oh and FJB!! He's destroying our country!!!!
I lived in El Paso for the rest of my life and honestly, not the best place to be but downtown is the best place to go yet the weather is difficult to predict
Homie gave me anxiety when he took that right on Arizona it was a one way lol. But nah the real hood is segundo barrio lower valley(which you got some of) and Devil’s Triangle area in the northeast.
You just happened to film in an ancient area where 85% of older people live. There are some shady bums who lurk around some spots, but it's still relatively safe compared to Dyer street and parts of the varrio (near downtown).
Born and Raised there. Lived in different states and there’s nothing hood about EP. One of the safest places ever. Florida was crazy and even NM was something else but El Paso is great.
I live here, just like every city old areas are gonna lack infrastructure… nothing dangerous about these streets, it’s been known to be one of the safest cities in the United sates considering we are right next to one of the most dangerous across the border back in the day, so that should say a lot.
Bruh. U are in central area close to downtown. Go to the northeast. Drive dyer from Hercules street to hondo pass and drive all the streets in between to see hood (lawson. Lawrence street). Especially at night
Damm i read all this comments about people saying how great and safe is this city and i just ask my self why cant i say the same thing, ive been living here in Devils Triangle since i was a little boy that came from Juarez and i cant say the same thing as all of yall.:'(
No one out on the streets but in Juarez no one in the street and Everyone saying stupid things about drugs and murders it literally takes no balls to drive 2 pm in Juarez
Video showed a tiny area of El Paso. No westside, no Southside, no lower valley, no east central, no Eastside no far east side, no Horizon, Ysleta or Socorro.
