People be acting like they ain’t scared out here but they lie 🤣 than you got people like “ain’t nobody ever try me”… in a 96 cavslier? Ain’t nobody wanna be see driving that 🤣
I live here and work overnight in downtown Jax and it's not half that bad. Bad experiences can be had anywhere at any time, I'm sorry that your bad experience affected you so much. Personally, I'm much more comfortable walking down the street at 3am here as opposed to my time in Queens, NYC. Love your content man, be safe!
interesting you would say that sir. queens is PACKED, does that not suggest its safer? not sure .. I liked NYC and walking on hoboken at night felt scary despite so many people.
WHAT UP FELLOW QUEENS NATIVE...IM IN JACKSONVILLE AS WELL BEEN OUT FOR 3 YRS...I ROCK WITH OUT HERE ...ITS BAD ANYWHERE ITS POVERTY...I HAVEN'T HAD ANY INCIDENTS YET..I COME THROUGH DIFFERENT ANYWAY...
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS YOU KNO BASED ON YOUR HOBBY AND TIME RECORDING ITS GONNA BE SCARY..GUESS WHO OUTSIDE LATE AT NIGHT? DEFINITELY NOT THE HONEST TRUST WORTHY FOLKS
I have was born here and have lived here most of my life. Crime is getting worse. It used to be isolated crime areas downtown. Now crime is everywhere. It was like small town when I was a kid. But not now...it's sad
I live and have lived in the general area he drives through SINCE 1966! There aren't many people out because these are WORKING CLASS neighborhoods! People are home sleep, not driving around making videos! This guy is looking for trouble, in Jacksonville this time of morning he WILL find it! He turns around and drives BACK through some of the same neighborhoods, if anyone is looking, they will think he is the police or is looking for dope! Both could be dangerous!
That goes for ANYWHERE! U look for something, eventually u will find it. I was looking at the construction signs and they were scheduled for May. Which tells me that school was still in session. For all we know it was a Tuesday night at 4 AM. People are in bed and have to get up for work and or get their kids up. I wasn't seeing much "danger". The danger might've been the narrative this person was trying to paint.
It all depends where you are in Jacksonville. I used to deliver food for Grubhub and I had to go into some sketchy places. God was watching over me for sure.
Jax. Is a bad city, I got out of there when the getting was good. To many bad people. They always finding bodies and murder . At first when I lived there in the 80's the cops were bad but the gangstas took the cops place and now the cops are shoveling up what gangstas are leaving behind
I live in Jacksonville, born and raised. It's not scary, it's the people. You just gotta watch the areas you go to. The Northside, Moncrief, Lem Turner, Edgewood are all areas l lived in. and Downtown has hella homeless people. Arlington is gettin a lil rough, wasn't that bad when l lived there 20 years ago. I moved to Jacksonville Beach and l love it. Other than that, I don't think Duval is as bad as some people make it seem.
I was raised in Arlington or Arlinghood as I call it. I moved to Atlantic Beach and have not heard a gunshot since! There are streets that I used to ride my bike on as a kid that I will not drive down today. I absolutely avoid going out at night because I am by myself. I love Jacksonville and the Beaches but the crime is getting bad everywhere. 🐊🏖🌞😎🐊😁
The title of this video is misleading. I moved here a few years ago to attend classes at UNF and I'm really enjoying this city so far. Almost any place in the world can be "scary" at night depending on what part of the city one is at
Yes so true Jacksonville is not bad it's some of the people we all just have to stay 🙏 prayed up go to God for are protecttion that's for all over this 🌎 world prayer 🙏
The fact that there's not cars out at 1 AM makes me feel like the area is safer. I feel like it says that they have to be sleeping at that hour because they have jobs and responsibilities to handle the next day. Anyone else feel that way??
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Well I don't live in a major city so I don't know. I live in Bakersfield, CA. It's a growing city, but we have a much smaller population than Jacksonville. We have almost 400k. 🤣
Them streets use to be full of people and it's was crazy growing up but we walked around late going to stores and all but it's boring but it don't feel safe I feel all the people just gone now
@@kassie4426 it's not I'm scared to walk through there now because I feel someone more from outside the hood will do something I see lots of vans riding all through the city smh feel like kidnap vehicles
It's scary because in the more densely populated cities like Baltimore,Philly, and Chicago you can kind of mind your business and blend in if you know the street rules, but in Jacksonville when you come across someone at night you don't know and you look out of place in that area people will almost always say something to you, or even interagate you. That's the big difference in my experience in Jacksonville and other more dense cities.
One thing about Jacksonville Florida resident they only bother their own race. A White or Hispanic person they tend to think you're undercover police.😁😂
🤣 well crap i am safe than! Ima start scaring them! Thats true everywhere almost. Ima get some dark shades and some donuts.. you gonna have to respect me out here lol ❤️🌴
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS becareful tricking them we in the middle of a big war you could drive up on anything and they kill no matter the race I'm from the worst hood here and they play with no fear and most other hoods to stay smart stay safe it's better if they know u not a cop 💯 and you in my hood myrtle Ave please don't play no games 🤣🤣🤣 I like your channel let keep it safe lol my boyfriend from Miami it's lots of people out at night there
Having lived in Memphis and Jacksonville, I would take Jacksonville at night, ANYTIME. Memphis? Depending on the time of DAY, has it's share of dangers. At night? Don't go outside unless you really have too.
@mobomba6206 I live on Southside near memorial hospital on university blvd, and is safe for me 😆,, well I don't have business anyway to go out after 9pm to drive, so it's safe lol
So scary that you get into your car and ride around at night in a dangerous city. He just rode around a part of town that is quiet and many business has closed down. People in their homes asleep he riding around probably looking for drugs. Like others say you probably had a bad experience and now from what I see you’ve decided to blame this area which is populated mostly by people of color. I don’t understand why if something is scary why go toward it. I live here and yes like any place in America Jacksonville has it share of violence. Most violence is done by people who don’t live in the area who travel to an area. I run across your videos and it seems you do only Jacksonville
Dude, I couldn't disagree with you more! I have lived in Jacksonville since 1997. I haven't ever had a problem. I feel like you are coming down to hard. You are totally stereotypical of people in bad situations. I lived in south Florida all my life prior to 1997. I would drive in Jacksonville ANYTIME over Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Miami, even Sunrise and Plantation is rough at certain times of the day. This is my first and last time watching you.
Tampa was the worst place I've been to in Florida at night...it was awake all night and crime but to compare Jacksonville to that would be a joke. It's not the best but it's definitely not scary.
Why would he make fun of people in bad situations? He left Cuba when he was 6 because the government had a hitman out for him. Then he moved to Louisvilles west end, and dealt with gang violence and fights in school. Then they went to Naples and moved to a trailer park, and was bullied in school for living in a trailer park. After that he moved to Alabama and experienced stupid amounts of racism, when he told the police they said he wasn’t from there so they can’t help him.
@@Danny-vk3xb I agree with you. I've lived in Clearwater and Tarpon Springs. I have been to Tampa many times, and partied in Ybor City many times, actually too many to count. And have see a lot of crime there.
I've lived in Jax for 12 years. There are parts of the city, like anywhere, to avoid at night. Main Street and Union, homeless people sleep all over every sidewalk, and many sidestreets up and down State and Union are homeless camps. Avoid.
To me Soutel Dr. and Moncrief are the areas that are the most dangerous anytime of day and should be avoided unless you have a reason to be. Jacksonville has always been a city that rolls up the sidewalks after dark. It's never really had a nightlife.
I feel the same way about jville bro. It probly is the familiarity becaus all i hear are good stories about jville and what a cool place it is. But whenever i drive thru i just get this feeling that it aint my kinda place. It kinda feels like it doesnt belong in fl. Idk it just feels different. I watched your new smyrna vid earlier, thats where i grew up.
I was born and raised in Jacksonville! Jacksonville use to be a 24 hour city back in the sixties and seventies! The city made some very bad decisions, in management!
Have you ever thought of writing a book of your experiences in the cities you have shown ? I think you make a positive impact to society more than you realize ! Keep up the great work ! Matt from Iowa :)
I either live in good areas,dont venture into bad areas or due to that I drive a super inconspicuous car I cant ever remember one time I've felt threatened while driving,maybe some mild road rage with me mostly being the one doing the road raging against others.Given that you drive around hoods constantly I assume you're going to have more issues.
Why do you keep mentioning that you have a nicer car? And to say that people feel bad for others who drive a 96 Cavalier isn't nice. I also thought it was off putting in the last video I watched when you were dissing Alabamians for being on food stamps. We are in the middle of a pandemic so you saying stuff like that is tone deaf.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I didn't say that. If you wanna call them kissing cousins and all that I will laugh with you. But I do not think that poverty is funny. Poverty has plagued all of the United States and it's sad. Not everyone who's on foodstamps is lazy. They can be on foodstamps because even though they have a job, they still struggle to make ends meet. They can be on foodstamps because of disabilities. Maybe they lost their job due to Covid.
F*** that go to Afghanistan the Helmand province...all rough areas in the USA will never compare to Afghanistan...them Taliban and ISIS would laugh at all the rough areas in USA...
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS thats a dam lie Birmingham ain't no second deadliest in the USA they only had 101 murders Miami murder rate waaaaay higher then that with over 200 plus sumtimes they cant give u a accurate count cuz they want tourist to keep comin Miami got the biggest murder rate in the south and damn near America Florida city n opalocka made America number 1 deadliest cities we the inventors of the next 48 n been the murder Capitol on n off since the 80s it's no city in the south mo dangerous then Miami playa u and yo false narratives is amazing what do u come up with this stuff
Jacksonville isn't scary it's a lot of homeless people lives downtown. And. Lot of entertainment downtown.maybe some area is wild if they are having a party.
No body out in Memphis at night? I came from Airport once in Memphis, got lost, pulled over a gas station late at light. The station has locked doors, and bullet proof glass. The person behind the glass when I ask them question look a little concerned for me. I looked to my left and a gang was running my way. I got in car and hightailed it.
I live in Jacksonville, Florida and I get what you're saying. Jacksonville can get bad no matter where you go but like you said everywhere has its bad areas. It is eerie at night because no one is outside unless you go somewhere like 5 points but everyone is drunk and going to the bars in the area.
Move to the Jacksonville Beaches area. Definitely less crime than most areas of town. I am a lifelong resident. It's really a good place to live. Just like any city we have our issues but there are some really good people here. Especially in Atlantic Beach where I live.
Lol. Jacksonville is not bad. There’s no cars out at night. This guy driving around on a weekday talking about nobody out at night. I live downtown, I’m the only white guy in a predominately black neighborhood. No problems.
Funny how you try to paint a narrative of a city by driving around at night and you don’t see nobody. Not taking into account maybe people got work in the morning. Just saying
As the saying goes, the further north one goes in Florida, the further south one goes. Jacksonville is certainly more indicative of cities of cities in the deep south (low density, similar culture, the streets "roll up" by 7 PM). Jacksonville has little in common with the other large Florida cities/metro areas, most certainly!
Ok I see no crime and nobody out come to Atlanta and see the crime at night where planning to move to Jacksonville and I really dont see a problem like other cities!!
Jacksonville is huge. It's 800 square miles with 7 or 8 counties within the city. There's plenty of gated communities that you can't get into without knowing a homeowner or being invited. There's plenty of wealthy areas such as St. John. I've been living on the Westside for 7 months with no issues. Oakleaf/Orange Park area...no issues. I've heard the Northside/Moncrief area is really bad, I've never seen it...Jax is just too big!!!
Born and raised in Jax. Do yourself a favor and NEVER go to moncrief or that surrounding area. Besides that you’re good 😂 north side is coming up but it’s more “country”
We used to walk everywhere at night years ago in Jacksonville Florida not a soul bothered you.. The beach most of all. I would not give a second chance at night anymore scary to answer the door carefully.in Jacksonville Florida ..
Downtown was safer way back when.. nights were pleasant not anymore. Sometimes don't answer your phone late at night.. more homes here are getting door bell. Get your packages ASAP.. Apts have security cameras shame this has happened. Jacksonville was pleasant and safe ..
Lmfao I'm from rural small town USA and a buddy and I went to visit some friends in Jacksonville. They took us to this dive that they said was "the most dangerous bar in Jacksonville" because we like a little excitement, that's how we roll. Anyways as we were walking in some black guy was trying to sell us blow right inside the door which I thought was very convenient. I remember my buddy and I were like THIS is the most dangerous bar in Jacksonville? There was more drama at the little bars back home lol my buddy even passed out at the bar and the bartender let him sleep there, no one tried to rob him or pull some shady shit. There were no fights, no cops. Stop being a drama queen.
It wouldn't be that scary, if you try to stop on those stop signs 😂😂,, otherwise, Jacksonville is my town, and its not that bad, im not going out at night, but anybody that comes to my house after 9pm, a different caliber will wait for them
Live outside of Jacksonville but if you hang in the hood chances are high something can happen, there are many decent areas but as you said the core city is the pits. Honestly my husband I use to drive all around Jacksonville all hours and for the last 12 yrs and hardly see people out at night nothing new Sorry, nothing to do in Jacksonville at night.
During my long life of 76+ years I've traveled to so many places I lost count. But there are three places I avoid like the virus; Memphis, TN, Bangkok, Thailand and all of Florida. I avoid those three at all costs. Too crazy for this old man and I live in Chicago not exactly Paradise. Good luck man and watch your ass, okay?
It's not that bad if you're not homeless and if you are homeless you better get with other homeless people because when you're homeless it seems like the working class will try to hurt you it's never homeless people that want to hurt you
Mind your own business thing is not alway's true! I mind my own business and alot of time's that draws un wanted attention same with my son we're both the same very quiet and keep to ourselves alway's attract trouble makers and I'm from Detroit michigan.
Bro a damn gmc Sierra lmao man acting like he in some high end $100K+ vehicle and if so it’s people in those areas I know personally that OWNS $100k+ vehicles, nobody is worried about taking that damn Sierra bruh lmao
Jacksonville definitely has some scary parts for sure. I had to do some canvassing there and made sure to time the worst areas so that I’d be done before 3-4. The parts of Jacksonville that aren’t dangerous in terms of violent crime are dangerous in terms of traffic though. People drive really badly, much like FL as a whole.
My dad and his wife used to live in Belo - MG. She was a Brazilian and he was American. His wife used to tell me how crime was such a huge problem in Brazil. Belo was one of the safer places in Brazil and it appeared that it was a very nice city.
You said Jacksonville is like Atlanta? I hope you were kidding given Jacksonville couldn't hold a candle to Atlanta. Its literally night and day. I visit atlanta often and live in Jacksonville so I know.
Every city got bad areas lived Jax my whole life never had shit happen to me they do close Walmart at 12 and McDonald's at 10 lol nw Jax not the best also those lights you be at just go through them you wait to long ppl watch for tht you will get car jacked in any city too stay safe out there
Daytime drive was awesome too.. thats coming soon. I had no idea JAX had so many businesses and restaurants.. ENDLESS!!! but traffic on orange park caught me off guard! 1 hour to drive a few miles..
Bruh it’s people in them areas that have cars worth more than your truck and rims that’s worth more than a good used car…so stop the stereotype, and coming into certain areas assuming somebody going to steal your damn truck, because “car jacking” which you keep trying to insinuate subliminally is actually the lowest type of crime in Jax to begin with !
Don't EVER put yourself in danger for us...You keep yourself safe, for your loved ones first and foremost...Anyways, Jacksonville at night is not pretty or fun, AT ALL...Con lo cara que está la gasoline y tu en esta boberia...No hagas eso mas JAMAS hijo...No vale la pena...Hazlo por los que te queremos...You don't have to prove anything to anybody, other than that you love your loved ones enough, to never do this again...Que San Rafael, el de los caminos, siempre te acompañe...Besitos....
