It's interesting that the few inhabited houses here all appear well-kept, painted, and with neat yards. Even surrounded by ruins and abandoned buildings, it's nice to see that there is pride and hope exhibited by those still living here.
A lot of the most dangerous blocks in the city do look well kept. Those are the blocks where a lot of people are living. You can go to a block of mostly all vacant houses and “might” be fine, but that block with maintained brick homes, cut grass, etc… you’ll have all the problems you would have expected from the bad looking block
A lot of neighborhoods on the South side have recovered or are on their way, and the north side is slowly recovering. One if the biggest issues facing the North side, and the reason so much of it is falling apart, is because of developers buying up massive amounts of property and letting it fall apart.
St. Louis born and raised now clean and sober living in Florida I still miss my city and hometown and I have a little channel going on also talking about the fentanyl problem back there. I use to run those streets scoring dope now 333 days clean today and the best I’ve ever been in my life. My city is forgotten about. Such a broken place.
Lots of stately old brick homes here that, while a bit shabby around the edges, remain intact compared to some of the bombed-out hoods you've visited in 'other' east coast and midwest metropolitan areas, Charlie!
St Louis used to be a booming wealthy city in the 40s and 50s. It went from a population of around 900,000 to just 300k today. Its a dump and I cant wait to leave. There are plenty of nice areas in the county but people are leaving there also.
Flourished! My grandma from there she said no homelessness was seen. All well kept homes. Family town both black & white. Very segregated but well to do on both ends.
The quality of construction of most of these buildings is amazing plus the ornate facades. There must have been a lot of prosperity here at one time to have built them. There's way too much of this decay all across the country. While Detroit remains the granddaddy of them all, it seems many others are trying to catch up. It's despicable.
The city is filled to the brim with impressive architecture. Lot of German immigrants moved here in the late 1800s. Help design and build a lot of these communities. South city still has a lot of well-maintained century + beautiful homes to admire. A shame so much has gone to waste.
I grew up in St Louis down around Cass and bacon back in the early seventies and it was a beautiful neighborhood and I remember when it was thriving. Now when I drive through there and reminisce it's all gone I mean there is nothing left but memories truly sad😢
It’s the little red power wheel car parked on the street for me at 2:30. Like it’s a real car. I’m sorry I couldn’t get over that😂 but anyways, I didn’t know St. Louis looked like that 😢
One love to St Louis. This my second home. Spent a lot of summers here. My Dad, aunt and uncles are from here. My grandfather also was from Kinloch. My pops is from the westside.
It's really tragic how America has gone down. It seems almost every state has an area like this. I guess America was high on the hog for awhile. But now...the capitalism seems unsustainable. Smh. Peace Everyone.
@Kettle Bell I'd be facetious to pretend that I know. But I do know I don't plan on debating. I also know I'll continue to speak my mind. Via my opinions. Peace. 🤗✨🙏💯
This isn't the majority of St Louis lol the Majority of St Louis actually looks nice. You're just actually brainwashed into thinking small clips showing the bad, is anywhere near the majority.
What you are not showing is the nearby large medical complex, including Barnes and St Louis U Hospital, which employs a LOT of people. The whole area you are showing is undergoing gentrification as those employees seek nearby housing. It's almost the Factory-Town of the future. And, of course, there is Title XII money for the rehabbers.
This channel is for showing Hoods. It does make a lot of clueless, brainwashed people think that this is what the whole city looks like but this channel is just for showing hoods.
Who owns all those abandoned, boarded up properties? Question 2; is there any value in them or are they a burden? Surreal footage like often. Cheers from the Netherlands
If you are from saint louis you know not to go to the north or east unless you have to. All the wealth has moved south and west, while there is no desire to create new wealth in the troubled neighborhoods.
Really cool brick architecture on a lot of those buildings....I wonder if the reason is because of the amount of German and Polish people who were there...It's a damn shame the city lost all the population and went to trash.
It’s crazy that Ohio and Missouri both considered Midwest when they are far apart but I see why St. Louis look like east side of Cleveland/East Cleveland
its the worst looking but actually very invited, first stepped in this here town a year ago, it is truly alarming how welcoming the great citizens of st louis act towards white folx like myself
STL should follow Detroit’s lead and raze whole sections of the city that are sparsely populated and run down. Fix up the parts of the city that remain and move displaced people there. It’s too expensive to provide city services to low density neighborhoods.
Chicago is a social media hood. Overhyped, full of p*ssies that can't fight and insecure clowns that have to constantly pretend it's the worst city. Weak.
Whenever you see a video like this please take a moment to thank your democratic lawmakers who made this all possible. The more you vote them in the more we get to see more videos of urban decay. Thank you Joe, Kamala, Nancy, Maxine and most of all LBJ who got the ball rolling.
Missouri is a red state that completely neglects its crown jewel; St. Louis. How are Democrats solely responsible for the systematic effects of red-lining, political corruption, and racism? Believe it or not, lower taxes and trickle down are not going to fix broken cities like this.
@@drewskeez1156 Thanks for your reply, Drew. But, I’m afraid I cannot agree that the plight of these people is largely a legacy of past or current racism/discrimination. More like they are saddled by their parents’ poor decisions and their own poor decisions. Immigrants arrive daily who have it much tougher but fare much better, IMO.
@@drewskeez1156 Yeah, I realize that and I agree that there is a legacy that lasts until the present day. But, in some ways (e.g., increasing number of single-parent families), Black Americans were doing better decades ago when the discrimination they faced was objectively greater.
@@gallaxian no lie these hoods are a mess white junkies is all thru those hoods no lie It’s not just blacks who causing crime the government the biggest criminal in the us
I definitely recognized Grand and I believe Lee on here. I grew up around the water Towers 21st and Ferry and 20th and John as a Young teen late 80s and thru 90s. I hate that we had to grow up like that and a lot of our people still are raised like that. Its definitely by design. 😡🙏💯💪✊️🫡B1
