Haven't even watched yet but I wanted to thank you for showing a Canadian city. Been a fan of yours for awhile and being a Canadian your videos got me wondering what some of our cities hoods might be like.
@@dootyminnozezelochi2257why are u being rude it’s not like anyone wants to go see downtown old areas if there’s tons of building and a 500 meter tower there
Idk if you really went to the hoods lol… Toronto does have some pretty wild areas but it also has a ton of nice areas as it’s a massive city and truthfully a nice city. But there is some really rough project areas through out the city.
Do you know Toronto? He drove through Regent Park and what appears to be Jane and Finch! Those are the two worst areas in Canada??? What are you talking about? Toronto has huge houses five minutes from some of the worst areas. The whole city is like that
@@petermachacek7830 regent park has been half demolished Avenue town houses are there, it's now mixed housing accross the street from luxury car dealerships. Jane and finch is abit rough but nothing special
Not really.. the development here is really really really slow.. like.. so slow.. you want to see development go to korea. 20 years and they build a super city
@@CheapCharlieChronicles that shit looked incredible. I've been to or through alot of big cities but you usually don't see that type of development right next to the freeway
If you want the worst streets in downtown Toronto, try George St and Sherbourne/Dundas. Jane/Shoreham, John Garland Blvd, Kingston/Galloway are some spots outside of downtown. It’s no 7 mile and Gratiot but as hood as Canada gets.
Definitely some parts of Peg city looks like Chicago but with even more abandoned houses. North end and West end of Peg are the actual real ghettos by definition in Canada
@@ufos6942 its even more crazier when you hear the stats. 60 abandonned buildings got burnt down by squatters or dealers since the beggining of the years in the west and north end. Theres like 600 more abandonned building in Winnipeg in 2022
Winnipeg is more dangerous than Toronto for sure, anybody who's has spent time in both places will probably agree, but I don't think any place in Canada really holds up to the hoods in the States. Just for comparison, Baltimore is actually a smaller city than Winnipeg (population 602,000 to Winnipeg's 749,000) and had 337 murder's last year. Winnipeg had 42. So I agree with you about the north end, but I think most of CharlieBo's viewers would be unimpressed with a Winnipeg video.
Hey Charlie, I really like your content, but would you be willing to do Windsor Ontario for a part 2? I'm only asking because I was born there, and it would be nice to see what the somewhat crummier areas of the city look like.
That’s not even the city centre. All these buildings have sprung up around the Gardner espress way. It’s crazy how the skyscrapers took over and expanded outwards towards Lake Ontario.2
That is downtown and some parts of the hood, but what you captured is probably one of the more safer hoods. If you ever come here again I would be glad to show you around. Was born and raised here.
Hi Charlie! Love the videos, drive along Driftwood that's the Jane & Finch area or along John Garland that's around Martin Grove and Finch or try Scarborough around Markham Rd & Eglinton
Bro, the best cleanest area is border of Caledon & Brampton. It's got the big spaces & free open space for farms too, anyhow love the old area my mama used to live in 90's 🙏🙌😇🧡❤️
The city has some of the most beautiful women in the world and the nightlife scene is big. Many NBA players go there to party, even when they're not playing. LeBron being the main guy who is always there.
@@METALFACEDOOMXXXXOK FROM HERE ON OUT NAME YOURS... NEW YORK/CHICAGO/PHILLY/LAS VEGAS/ WOULD SAY SAN FRANCISCO OR MIAMI AND SEATTLE...THEY BEAUTIFUL FAR AS SKYLINES ... BUT TORONTO ON THEY HEELS... LOT OF BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN US BUT STOP HATING ON TORONTO GIVE EM THEY PROPS
Regent Park has undergone some serious gentrification in the past decade but for me it will always be known as the oldest housing projects in Toronto. Crime, drugs, gangs, prostitution, murders…typical projects just like any other major city. I’m happy to see the inhabitable buildings have been torn down and new modernized buildings to replace them. Everyone deserves to live somewhere without blood on the hallway walls and gang members who take on the role as concierge. Yes I live here and yes I’ve lived there! 💜✌🏼
Toronto used to be my most favorite city in the world because Canadians are the nicest people in the world. I would consider moving there but they make it extremely hard for US citizens to get citizenship in Canada. Even though we are right down the street, the Canadian government doesn't trust us lol. When you go through customs with a US passport they always make it a little more difficult in any Canadian city. But it's still a chill place.
You think it's WEIRD that they'd be skeptical of someone who lives just down the street from the border? Sounds like the perfect place for someone to live while planning an attack, they're being intelligent and cautious.
Great to see a journey up to Canada! Quite funny, cus on the premise of your channel (which I love btw), these aren't run down areas at all. In fact I bet many of those houses you passed are worth a million bucks. There are some shitty areas don't get me wrong, but Canada as a whole is a very safe country, for its size Toronto is incredibly safe overall. Miss Toronto a lot, wish I was back there.
@@AnObservantTraveller74 Nah they're talking about even some of those run down looking houses with the paint peeling off on the outside, THOSE sell for 1M+ in the current market. These are nowhere near the worst areas of Toronto.
I wonder if he was kinda irritated trying to find some "hood" areas. LOL. Now im gonna go watch the Toronto at night video to see how they get down over there. If enough people are actually outside.
Well.............let's not jump the gun on this. I wouldn't exactly call T.O. incredibly safe. We're getting a lot of U.S. style crime up here nowadays.
@@nolby1758 its ok you live up in your saftey suburbs far from gang life.. when i moved into my area years ago it was peacefull now its nothing but a breeding ground for gangbangin i was drivin home at 1 am and saw atleast 15 cop cars driving around searching A park behind my house when its dark out.. if you wanna make it home alive you stay out you say we are nothing right? so a 13 yr old walked into a lakeshore highschool and unloaded a full clip into a 15 year old thats normal ? wake up from your nutshell.. a plaza not far from my house an elderly lady got punched in the face for stepping on someones shoe..
@@primetime758 I'm not doubting the areas can be dangerous but go drive around ,man,I've driven through the projects in Chicago,rough neighborhoods in Tampa and this area looks like a calm drive. I'm from Winnipeg,we have one of the highest per capita murder rates in North America,I understand there's rough neighborhoods everywhere
@@nolby1758 lol i was Born in Poland lol During communist times .. i've been to Florida New york Chicago Georgia Louisiana California I've been to the Peg before to drive in of course its gonna be safe
Quick facts Regent Park is a neighbourhood located in downtown Toronto, Ontario built in the late 1940s as a public housing project managed by Toronto Community Housing.Wikipedia , this was the sketchy area when I grew up .
Toronto is a tiny fraction of Canada. The rest of the country is different looking. What you mean is the city of Toronto uses regular street lights but where I'm at just a few miles away, we have all this namby pamby LED stuff street lights.
Not really worth it, its just america but worse in alot of ways, price, weather, politics, etc. But thats just my take i was born here but hopefully i can get out soon.
As far as I am concerned that's the SKYDOME! I grew up in the High Park area and while I may not be in Toronto now or Canada for that Matter I am a VERY typical Canadian! hahahah
The difference between Toronto hoods and American hoods is that you won't see mans here posted up on the block everyday like in the US. They're either busy getting to that money or not showing face because of warrants and stuff.
@@MW-yo8pb Oshawa is fine to people who grew up in Oshawa. If you’re from anywhere else in Ontario and you get off the 401 at Simcoe Street, you’re instantly bombarded by vagrants asking for spare change, bumpy roads, litter, and struggling neighbourhoods full of run down housing stock. At least Hamilton has the mountain going for it
yeah, some areas of toronto have a lot of homeless, and almost homeless people. but hamilton? hamilton has prostitutes, junkies, public disturbance weirdos, homeless people, and people pretending to be homeless. it is truly a sight to behold
You gotta go to the real hoods in Toronto - Lawrence Heights, Driftwood, Jamestown, Flemingdon Park etc. Downtown isn't bad. Rexdale, Jane and Finch and Scarborough have the more dangerous hoods.
Toronto does have nicer downtown areas than Regent Park, honest. The building on those apartments started in 1948 and they are low income housing. The road construction never ends in Toronto, lol.
Those aren't hoods, poorly maintained houses yes, but not hoods. Those houses are worth millions and owned by wyt people that may be to old to take care of the house or just dirty people. The property is worth tons, and these tiny areas are all within a 10-20 minute walk of downtown toronto. "Hoods" are extremely poor and isolated areas where poverty and impoverished people are designated to.
