The Neighborhoods of Pittsburgh - The Hill District 

We don't need that, this guy has that covered and he's doing a phenomenal job.

@@EricSantos pppppppppp

I agree, its a world class city!

No. No it doesn't

Dude shut up you probably live in philly. It’s the fucking worst city if I’ve ever seen one. If it weren’t for the history in the city nobody would give a fuck.

You probably live in philly bitch no one likes you

@@dannynoknives1590 he’s talking about Allentown in southside

I do agree

Hey Santana!!!

"fair" and yet you've never been there??

What was the purpose of the Civoc Arena in your view?

Have you enjoyed it at all yet?

Why not move where other Latinos are?

The hill district is terrible. If it was New York, there would be a cop on every block

Yeah blame urban renewal, that’s intellectually dishonest. What percent of the Hill receives government assistance? Also the 1960s were a long time ago. If people can’t right the ship in 50 years they have nobody to blame but themselves. 50 year!!!!!!!

The parkway as well, really took traffic away from the center of the city.

@@oldman9206, you clearly don't know the history of the Hill District. It was a poor but stable community until the Urban Renewal Authority started leveling whole neighborhoods and herding people into public housing projects. Pittsburgh had the most affordable housing of any large city in the country, and yet we were second only to Chicago in the number of housing projects per capita. That happened for one reason alone, urban renewal, which is really a euphemism for slum clearance. These actions destroyed the neighborhood fabric and fostered crime. Communities don't recover from that kind of destruction very easily. It's not just something that happened 50 years ago, either. Once they had large numbers of people living in housing projects, they began tearing down the housing projects.

@@RBush-id8zm people who think like this are exactly the problem. "Look at these piece of shit people, let's not give a single fuck about them for decades. Look what they've done to the shit hole we put them in, see I told you"

@@RBush-id8zm Who massacred the Native Indigenous Indians of Pittsburgh?? not Black people. Who Polluted the air with toxins for 100years? Not Black People. Get your facts straight Dummy!!!!!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Crawford's Grill # 2. I saw Coletrane there, Sonny Stitt, many others in the late 50's/early60's. It was a great jazz club - an institution of jazz culture.

It’s funny. Born and bred in Picksburgh, and I don’t get how people think the area is segregated. Dunno whereabouts you’re living but be careful.

Segregation is the forced separation of people. No one is forced to live anywhere. We all pick where we live.

@@terintiaflavius3349 Let's not forget about red lining, which is a form of forced separation and common in PA. Also, according to the report that was released, blacks can't "pick" where they live due to the systemic barriers in place. Poverty among blacks (due to racism as mentioned in this video) is commonplace in Pittsburgh, resulting in these individuals not being to "live wherever they want."

@@chosentonessournotes I have had numerous people (mostly Caucasian) tell me that Pittsburgh is one of the most racists states in the country. Red lining is an example of that and there are plenty of reports/data that display it. Perhaps it's more noticeable to those of us who are minorities and those who read the report he mentioned in the video. 🤷‍♀️

@@Evelyn-pl3we You live where you can afford just like all the rest of us. That's not segregation. I live in Mt Oliver. I would love to live on Grandview but I can't afford it. Am I being discriminated against? I don't think so. Redlining is a nasty thing. However poor whites have the same experiences in this. Therefore it is not a racist thing but a classist thing.

Northside 👊

Wilkins township

Hill district!!

Did a report on august Wilson for my final.... I really seemed like an amazing place.

Hey I lived in Bloomfield and Lawrenceville, as well as Squirrel Hill in my 8 years. Never had anything stolen there..

Tha Hill District gets an unfair bad wrap.I was born and raised there.Yes,It has its issues but the people are golden and they love their community.It looks worst than it is.Trust me! Lol

I’m from the hill it’s a nice place

P.S- I want to go eat with you!

Hearing this makes me extremely happy and inspired to keep going, so thank you!

Rebel Rebel of course you thought this was informative...

Hoodricc is there something wrong about her thinkin this was informative? If so I’d like to know what is so wrong about learning new things!

Somtings - Achievement Guides To each their own, but if she wants to find out about the Hill District there are way more informative biographical sources

@@United_House_of_Israel can you suggest places to look instead of just spouting off, picking on someone's opinion?

That's what's up.

"walk through Chauncey drive at night I'm sure it won't work out to well if your a white dude." I am white and have walked through the Bedford Dwellings before. Also Homewood. I was bored, didn't know many people, didn't have many friends, but did have a lot of free time waiting for classes to start when I first moved here. I'd take walks to clear my head and learn the city. 5 to 15 miles at a time. I was going through a rough breakup at the time and it helped me work shit out and get through it. I have a friend who lives in the central north side that I spend a lot of time hanging out with as well. People (plural) have been killed outside of his building, but for the most part its a safe area. People hear about crime and violence in the news and don't realize that most of it in the city isn't random. Most of it is drug or gang related, and they don't want police attention so if you mind your own business they leave you alone.

@@qtipmotha preach!

All good! Im sure we will bump into each other eventually, it's a small city :)

@Marshall Carwood have you been to the hill🤔

They were racist. If there was more whites they wouldn't of said that.

@Marshall Carwood no it IS not. I am from there and was there many nights just sitting in my car. People do not be robbing. You haven't hung out there many night so you don't know so shut the hell up

@Marshall Carwood not true my mother called ambulance last feb and they came alone. Stop these lies. My mother lived on the hill and I am from the hill. The ambulance came for several of my people on the hill and they came alone.

Guido Parlicky the trump profile pic really brings out the irrelevancy and unintelligent worth in your comment.

@truly781 im from the hill too

Regarding the Hill District's New Granada Theatre: an absolutely wonderful film which details Pittsburgh's central role in American jazz is "We Knew What We Had." The film "explores the social conditions and historical events that conspired to make Pittsburgh one of the leading contributors to the legacy of Jazz music in the world." www.weknewwhatwehadfilm.com/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8sHi5gC4NGI.html

Yeah all those murders, drugs, and gangbanging are great. Weeds out the undesirables.

PJH199 1 is it wrong to love the place you grew up? I don’t think so, no one needs your fucking irrelevant input. If it’s not positive get the fuck out of here.

@@RBush-id8zm have you been to the Hill?

Agreed, everyone needs to share this channel with their friends!

Im from the hill too

We are not the same. Equal before god and the law but we are not the same, otherwise we would all achieve the same outcomes.

Thank you Brandon! Will do

Bill Mattheis same bill. Same

Its not because a white person said it, its because its white people who get the shit kicked out of them for their stuff in The Hill District...

@TRUTHSPEAKER I can relate, i grew up in Youngstown born and raised, so here where i grew up isn't much different than Pittsburgh, and once considered myself a democrat, but after educating myself i realized that in doing so i stacked the deck against myself. Like Pittsburgh liberal politics ran this city into the ground and created a whole generation of self hating entitled adult babies who have no heart and no ethics, and very little intelligence. hard work is beneath them and they complain about the wage they do get for doing mediocre work at mediocre jobs. They dont understand the kind of men who built these cities and have been taught that they were angry drunk greedy earth polluting white men who were racist bigoted xenophobes that beat their wives picked on gay people and molested their children, in between fist fights in the street and local bars. my question to these idiots is how did they find the time to build our cities and produce the goods and provide the services they did if they were so busy being all the things they were taught these men were... all i heard was crickets... Obama created a stepping stone for black people he brought them to their lowest level in history and whites have began to say so, i'm a racist so i'm a bigot, so i'm a xenophobe you are still scum and the root of your own problems in your own neighborhoods. I'm of Irish, English and Dutch decent, but growing up our family was considered the quintessential Irish family, you know, drunk stupid lazy and violent. yet my family is known for the dredging of lakes creeks rivers and canals, we built the parks railroads and dug the coal out of the ground that kept their lights on and we made steel, the best steel the world had ever known. And we are treated no different today here, except todays its progressive idiots and entitled blacks that ridicule us rather than the old liberal elite, and they have manipulated that black folks into believing all the bullshit they push, for the most part race relations gave always been good here. older generation of micks wops and black people worked together to build this city and we all got the credit... today blacks are told that that kind of work was slavery and that their parents were worked into the ground for the white man. the truth is black people in Youngstown had it pretty good here in the 40s 50s 60s and 70s, once the left took over the backs became resentful, their neighborhoods crumbled their ethics faded and the hate festered. now we have a generation of blacks who blame every single one of their problems on the white man, though few and far between they do exist here. when we complain about the drugs violence and hate, we are labeled racist bigoted xenophobes who only want to take us back to a time where blacks were slaves. and like you said this kid is an enabler, even seeing that his own bike was stolen is not enough for him to recognize the problem, that he and others like him are the problem, and have always been the problem for the black community.

Lmao...
