I remember walking these streets as a kid. Playing in the abondon lots and on the roofs. Living in an abandon building. All the empty vials, baggies, and syringes on the floor! Its way better these days then it was before. There are other places in the country that have similar condition's l. Camden nj and parts of Baltimore that ive personally seen.
i know modern day NYC is not without its problems but damn back in the 80's the trajectory of New York was very bleak. Barely avoiding bankruptcy, rampant crime, along with many other growing problems its mind blowing how much can change in a few decades. New York City was down but it wasn't out
There's almost no video of Bushwick, Brownsville and East New York in the 70s and early 80s but if there was it would be an equal to these streets. Brooklyn was crumbling too.
Yep. I grew up in Bergen Beach in the 80’s. The other side of Brooklyn was scary, like red hook. My dad owned a butcher store in Crown Heights from the early 70’s to 2000. He was the only white guy in the area back then. I used to go to the store when I was a little kid in the late 70’s and remember kicking around the saw dust on the floor
thats the same thing i've been saying about NYC as a whole. People think they're better off in the PJs because some random got shot in the next building over. Meanwhile the chances of being k!IIed is like 1 in 1 12,000. Those are VERY low numbers.
Got any vintage of Atlantic City, NJ? I remember being bad, but that shit is absolutely insane. Those massive dilapidated brick buildings and just earth and ruins between them.
É sim,tá igualzinho.... Não aguento mais andar desviando de escombros de prédios objetos de fraude de seguro Pelamor véi,é totalmente diferente a situação O problema de SP é saúde publica O problema de NY era a miscigenação e a fraude fiscal
My dad was a building inspector in the 70's and 80's. His company sent him to the Bronx and he had quite a few stories, lol. Looks like Detroit, doesn't it?
You know I have to give Mayor Mike Duggan credit for actually cleaning up old Detroit neighborhoods where houses were just left vacant and decay. I'm a Republican and for him being a Democrat he actually did his job. Him and Cheif James Craig were like a dynamic duo during the "Summer of Love" Riots to control the violence
NYC had a much higher violent crime rate in the 70s and early 80s than today. The city was truly dangerous, scary and depressing then. The song from that era that represents NYC the most is "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty which was hugely popular in 1978. A song full of fear and melancholy from a fearful and melancholy era. No wonder Gen X'ers growing up in that era turned out to be pissed off & angry at the world.
Absolute amazing to see this. Its like a alternate Reality. Were are all the kids today? They should be not that old. Born 1976 in east germany and its the same thing. It look like a different World if i see pictures today from that time, but still remember everything. I am 46 now, so not to old also. So were they are..i want to see interviews
At the time I was living in New England and going to college in Miami (1979-83) and The Bronx not only resembled Warsaw, Berlin, and other European cities in 1945, it was also the most dangerous county-level area in the country as shown in movies like The Hijacking of Pelham 1-2-3, Fort Apache The Bronx, and The Warriors. The Bronx was one reason why I didn't even think about attending Fordham University - I would have been stuck on campus.
I grew up in Bronx in early 2000s. Wasn’t broken down, but def still super gangster for real. Shit kinda died down now, just a bunch of drill rappers killing each other
They weren't fixing sht and " accidently" burning the building. Just like that daggone scene in Batteries not included or the People under the stairs. Forcing law abiding citizens strife and then moving everyone else to Brooklyn,Queen s, and Staten Island. Pushing half of Manhattan children out of the boro High schools. I'm glad I moved and I didn't dare have a kid in this dump.
Redlining , Corrupt government , bad politics, neglect & failed policy , Terrible Healthcare ,Poor Education system , deplorable Living conditions , Lack of jobs , Low economic opportunities, Crack epidemic .. etc…. A lot happened…
Landlords payed gang members to burn them down for the insurance. Hard to believe the insurance companies payed out, but then they were from the same tribe as the landlords, if you get my meaning. One big criminal fix. The tribe owned the buildings but when all the whites moved out of these areas and the newcomers moved in, they trashed these buildings and crime and murder went up at a rapid rate, the landlords wouldn't fix the buildings as the tenants just kept trashing it and the buildings jyst turned into husks. Whites build, they destroy...facts.
They were standing,gutted and inhabitable and were falling from the inside. Then eventually elements took over and I guess the mayor saw yi finally. They debris was finally picked up by 1986.
Imagine getting laced and waking up in NY in the 70s/80s. Where would you rather wake up? The South Bronx circa this video or Harlem circa this video? Comment below…
@@xamo8667 check the crime stats dummy! Nyc bodied DC and NY dudes took over y'all blocks DC corny asf 😂2,500 murders to DC 200 murders plus DC small asfffff DC only 500,000 people compared to Nyc 8.8 million fool 😂
How can anyone respect themselves and the area they live in when it’s in this sort of mess. The people in this area must have no hope and little to no respect for their government for letting this happen to their neighbourhood. America is rich and the land of opportunity, I don’t see any of that in this picture.
A lot of this happened when home owners burned down there houses and collected the insurance money.. ironically around the time Spanish and black people started moving in
@@user-qu5ex2qy8y дело не в этом. Дело в том, что на Земле нет и не будет Рая. Рай может быть только на Небе. Те кто говорят, что видели, видят или могут построить на земле рай или дураки или лжецы ведущие стадо в Ад (я не говорю про природу, я имею ввиду места компактного обитания человека). Это не значит, что ничего не нужно делать. А что делать? Надо жить в добре, чистоте, любить окружающий мир, любить свои семьи, любить своих друзей, ценить хорошее что нас окружает. Я пишу так потому, что знаю. Мне 46 лет. Те кто хотел разрушить мою странунам в ссср врали, что в сша все миллионеры, живут в особняках, катаются на яхтах и снимают хорошее кино. И что я вижу сейчас? Если бы советские люди видели такое, мы бы никогда не уничтожили свою страну. Спасибо есть интернет, теперь мы можем знать, как живут и жили в других странах, что бы ценить свою родину ещё больше
Думаю, что в 80е не напрягаясь можно было найти и в СССР немало таких мест, даже в Москве. Так что не все так однозначно... Хотя в кино нам показывали, что там рай и все живут в собственных двухэтажных особняках и ездят на роскошных кадиллаках. Хотя в кино и сейчас такое показывают, и даже про РФ: любой мент ездит на поркайен и живет в дизайнерской 5ти комнатной квартире.
@@Thebrothaisback You don't know about the Newark riots back in the day? Or the Black Lives Matter riots? People burn down their own neighborhoods because they mad at "the man. Always been that way.
Even Asians live in ghetto clean up for blacks very nice n they still bigot bully us n destroy their hood down again like not supposed to live their country so let them dye in vain.
