@@jmjfanss it’s ridiculous. But there’s no hope. Republicans and democrats won’t fix any issues. Survival of the fittest is in process. Be safe out there in your part of the world man.
This is straight bullsh•t. He literally went straight to the Ghetto to point out Homeless people. Colonial, Mercy Dr, etc. is the Ghetto. This was extremely misleading if you don't live in Orlando. The WHOLE video was shot in the 3rd World corner of Orlando while trying to make Los Angeles look good. Funny, but corny.
I Said the same thing lol I just came from Orlando and it was nothing like this. He shows one bad part and compares it LA to push whatever narrative to make Cali look good lmao
I'm in Texas and homeless I stay in a shelter... jobs are plentiful but with inflation going up and a eviction I have no hope for the future anymore all I can do is work and maintain my vehicle and feed myself.
He's not very smart to compare anything with calif they where only a few days that does not make anything. LA is getting negative attention all over the world t h e other states are going to follow ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SJt3xuTPRVU.html
@@MD19853 yes well Orlando is 2/3 Democrat I just looked it up. Republican areas are doing great all the hellhole cities are Democrat run from top down.
@Joseph Augello You say there is a second movement of people leaving the United States? Where are these people moving to? Can you give any references of videos on RU-vid about it?
Keep doing these videos! Keep driving to the worst part of town, and tell people that's what it's like here. Stay away from the hip underground communities and Arts districts because everybody can't live in Paradise. So just tell everybody Orlando sucks.😂😂
Man, I have lived in 20 cities, 7 states, including Orlando. Lived in S.O.B.T back in 2003, me and my aunt were kidnapped, I saw drive by shootings, open air prostitution, trash and needles everywhere. We had to leave because detectives showed up saying they had intel that some hit men thought that the previous tenant was in our apartment still and that we were in grave danger. BRO!!!, worst hood ever!, ive been to Camden, Philly, Brooklyn, Hartford, opa locka, you name it, 2003 Orlando was NO JOKE!, especially SOBT area!! I NEVER felt the fear I did living there for 6 months, till this day, anywhere!, thats a bad ass hood, just not sure if its changed, but man it was 10/10 dangerous.
Unfortunately the homeless just isn't in the "hoods" I see it EVERYWHERE throughout Orlando from Altamonte Springs, Disney district, Paramore, Downtown.. it's the single mother that's sitting at Wawa or strolling in the malls that got evicted from her high rent apartment.. it's the families living in the woods or van.. it's the 5 families shacking up in a one bedroom apartment to afford rent.. they are the many people you think are just waiting for the bus.. yeah Orlando's homeless problem is WAY worse than it looks
First, there is a history of transients (homeless) that invade Orlando in the winter, has always been an issue. I was just with a group of visitors who were amazed at the vibrant, prosperous neighborhoods in the city. West Orlando, Pine Hills and Orange Blossom Trail are not the best areas of town. If you would have been on East Colonial into Mills 50 and drove Mills Ave North into Winter Park and Maitland it would have been totally different. You seemed to be intent on comparing LA's issues with Orlando. Every American city and the entire country is suffering from the homeless crisis and it's a sad sad thing. Also 2023 has started out as another record year for tourism in Orlando, so lack of tourists is untrue.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I don't know what the issue was when you were here, but instead of the Central Business District you need to go into the thriving city neighborhoods in the downtown area. Mills 50, Ivanhoe Village, Milk District, College Park, SoDo and Thornton Park to name a few. Winter Park and Maitland are very busy a few miles north. Pine Hills is a ghetto neighborhood, most of the west side is. And the homeless come south for the warm weather in winter. The local homeless camps ( which are huge, unfortunately, are mostly hidden in patches of woods and aren't really downtown, a lot on the Eastside. Peace
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS nobody is in downtown during that time of day n that area is the hood we call that side of town crosstown now the clubs downtown on the weekends be packed and shootings on the strip
The reason why it’s slow is because it’s January, lol. Jan., and Feb. are the slowest months of year here. It’s starts to pick back up in March for the Daytona 500, and Bike Week.
I visited Orlando last week and went downtown on a Sunday evening. I walked around Lake Eola and there were a lot of people out walking there. The rest of downtown seemed pretty quiet though. I wasn’t very impressed with Orlando as a city though. You have your tourist attractions all condensed in one spot with all theme parks and resorts and little housing. The residential areas near the touristy areas seemed pretty run down and grimey. There are lots of dollar stores, smoke shops, and the likes. Going into the trip, I was picturing Orlando to be a bit more suburban and upscale, and it was not like how I had imagined it to be.
Orlando used to be much better full of orange groves really nice hotels and resorts quiet quaint neighborhoods it was like the suburbs Walt Disney World was more of a magical place but the immediate area around Disney world has always been congested. Since the 90s However within the last 3 years the immediate area surrounding Disney and Orlando has gone downhill in a major way Ron DeSantis has been against Orlando and Disney World and has made a total mess of normal funding some areas have become transient homeless people taxes have gone up prices of homes have gone up and prices of condos and hotels and Resorts have gone insane with their pricing many people blame Joe Biden for the economy which I have to agree there right but it also doesn't help to have a non-supportive governor for the people all because he does not care for Disney World and has a personal Vendetta against it. Orlando has not been the same since. It's kind of sad the way you described how you thought Orlando would be because actually that's how it used to be. But again as of the last three years it has definitely suffered a major decline.
You won't see nice suburbs in Orlando just visiting the tourist district then taking a quick trip down i-4 to visit lil ol " Downtown". Just like any other metro area, you have to know where they're at.
Yea when I hear DeSantis talking about the trans issues in some of the schools he doesn’t say anything about this issue or how badly South West Florida is faring after Ian.
Di santis needs to me sent to moon with many others. The only states that have a good gov. Are Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Massachusetts. Maybe Arizona now with the Katie Hobbs to early to tell. A few others.
If you don't like how things are in Orlando or anywhere else put down your phones, get off your dead backsides and CHANGE IT! Start thinking outside the box and find ways to create your own wealth. Light a huge,hot fire under the politicos and make them dance. One thing I learned in the army is that leaders are supposed to lead, if not you run right over their asses and do the job without them. I'm planning to once again make Orlando my home and I will not tolerate it becoming a clone of Hell-A. That's right people, THIS child is getting involved. Now if you'll excuse me I have battle plans to draw up. All the best to you.
I've been here 20 years. I enjoy it. Love the restaurants and the theme parks. But u have to be able to afford to live here. It's expensive. If it's cheap then it's probably not a safe area. But even the ghettos there are some good people trying. Better than Fort Myers
Lol life is that you make it anywhere. This video didn't do Orlando any justice nor do I think they were intending to do that. Sure if you find a video with a different more positive headline you'll get the same reflection in the comments. This video was made obviously for people that don't like it here or had a bad experience here
😅I lived in orlando 32 years and I just recently left to upstate N.Y. . The weather is nice up here lots of nature and less traffic.. Florida is becoming an unlivable state. I am happy I left.. But yeah.... that area of obt and the west side is really dangerous .. yes sir😮
I live in the sacramento area these days and The way alabama plates are in orlando is what im seeing with the myflorida plates out here, strangely enough... makes me feel at home, but im also wondering if some kind of great relocation is happening?
I went on vacation in Orlando about 4 years ago or so and we decided to drive downtown one day just to check it out. And when we got downtown, I was like, This is it?? That's when I learned that Orlando does not have a nice downtown. It's all about the theme parks in Orlando.
lived in florida kissimmee and west palm beach - 10 years.....left....still miss it sometime....PROS: weather, Churches, beaches, coasts, big cities (Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville) then a few miles down the road nice and rural...Long drives with car to cruise, good restaurants-lots to choose from, great wildlife - gators, manatees, panthers, etc..cool to see, Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, etc...Daytona 500, car shows, Sports teams, Football, College and Pro Football, Spring Training, Nightlife, no snow, .............CONS: Lower wages, lack of quality healthcare and doctors, southern inefficiency, bad attitudes from southerners and Floridians, Puerto Rican gangs, emphasis on Spanish language and culture, Expensive housing, Hurricanes, insects, bugs, small lizards running around, a feeling of "NO CULTURE", Lots of wealthy, elderly people, and snowbirds that are arrogant, no change of seasons, that state just gets on your nerves after awhile...
I’m a born a raised Florida native. This state has gone to shxt!!! Americans first! My hubby and I used to go to the manic mall back in the day. We’re in our early 50’s. Everyone is moving here. The woods are becoming a thing of the part as country living.
Well, everyone can't get evicted at once. Not enough support. I'd say pay %25 of rent and mortgage. Problem solved. No laws against inflation, no laws against paying less.
You're in downtown,what tourists are going to be downtown.Downtown is improving but still sucks,Orlando is all about Disney,Universal,Sea Wprld and the nice suburbs like Windermere,Horizon West,Dr Phillips,and in the north Lake Mary/Heathrow,the rest of Orlando sucks.The only reason to go near downtown is to buy some Gideons cookies at their original location to avoid the hour line at Disney Springs
Texas as a whole is still doing better then California right now but many Texas cities are certainly not. Powerful Real estate, banking and development companies always want people to move, preferably long distance because that's a big part of how they make their 🤑.
It's off season bro. All the Kids are in school. Tourist season is mainly summer break with the attractions.. best time imop. But yeah Orlando's homeless problem is out of control because the leadership is doing nothing about it.
I can only think of moving to the Orlando suburbs Kimmsimy , dr. Phillips Winterhaven Winter Garden etc. I heard are nice … And I haven’t even watch this whole video yet but thanks in advance for always showing your videos and info on various Floridian cities … Tony j from Indiana…😃😃😃
As a born and raised Orlandoan i hate to say it but it's all the transplants and snowbirds that ruined this place. Im fortunate to live in a neighborhood of home owners and very few renters for over 20 years now and have always noticed people coming from the Caribbean, Northeast or Midwest kinda brought the trash with them they were trying to leave behind. They don't have southern hospitality particularly those from the northeast. They're rude with no concept of taking care of their homes or lawns guessing because they're not used to coming from a city. And the driving is almost like im in some third world country at times. There's still some nice development in some areas but this place is really just a miniature borderline third world tourist destination. I still like it here guess because im already comfortable in my neighborhood but the second i leave my little bubble at times i just want to rent my home out and move.
Down town Orlando is nothing special never has been. Lived there for a long time and I like Orlando. But to say Orlando is like L.A. bro not even close. Down town L.A. is the most insane packed homeless situation I have ever seen. I live in DC now and the homeless situation is just as bad.
Melbourne will soon be a tourist destination. There are many attractions that passed the planning stage. We have things Orlando does not………….beachside and a tough Sheriff.
It's grown a lot here since I moved up here to Palm Bay in 2009. Back then Melbourne was still just kind of a small city. Now though, it's becoming a huge epicenter along the east coast of Florida for commercial business, tech jobs, education, construction, retirement, and just a place for younger people to be at. It's a fast growing area and places like Palm Bay and nearby Viera have new houses and shopping centers popping up left to right. I see Melbourne on par with Sarasota and Fort Myers In that the area is becoming a much more attractive place in the state for people to move to.
Don't really know what the future holds for Fort Myers right now because of the hurricane, but the growth and building down there when I went in 2021 was mind-blowing.
In a time when the economy across the board in the whole US was at it's best early 90's. When most infrastructure was brand new and clean. Especially Fl, Orlando always sucked. I was living in South Fla at time near Stuart. And we got some some great radio stations from Orlando that I liked. WOMX Mix 105, 98.9 WMMO, WWLV Love 94.5 Daytona, Magic 107.7, Sunny 101.1 WSTF from Cocoa Bch/ Space Coast, All 5 because of the Cent Fla radio towers all being 100kw at at least 1600 ft boomed into Stu. And because its flat as a pancake except NW going toward Ocala. In Orl proper you got 4 more stations. You get Tampa at time W-101 WUSA, Mix 95.7 , NW you get 98.5KTK, and used to be Ocala's 93.7 WMMZ Z-93. Before they blew it up and changed to country in 1994. How do I know? I was supposed to be their evening jock. Until they fired everyone incl my future boss. All 9 of these stations were Adult Contemp and Hot Ac stations. Which was rare to have so many in any radio US market. Only SF, Pitt because they are both on hills, and Chicago had so many. So spent a week up there about 100 miles nw of me by Stuart. Check out the area see if I wanted to try it out. It was a huge disappointment. Outside the Orange Blossom Trail, which kind of reminded me of Dade- NW 2nd Av between Palmetto and Broward line back then. 167th St and 215. Poverty, and blight in Orlando never were camouflaged. It was the 1st Fl city that scared the hell out of me. Even Overtown Miami's worst hood was not as scary looking. Liberty City was only area that reminded me of Orlando. I don't know if Disney and industry that moved in since 90's has helped. Or made it worse. But you couldn't pay $1 mil to ever live in O. I could always say same about St Pete, Ft Myers, Sarasota, Ocala, Gainesville, Daytona, Titusville, Tally, and most of Jax as well. Though when in radio I survived 6 mos living off Dunn @95, not far from Jax Intl. Back then Tampa was not good, I heard its improved. West Palm was mostly hood, so was/is Ft L, Miami anything outside downtown was crap. Especially whole NW anything. But even NE was very seedy esp by Biscay, US 1 all the way up to NMB.
I use to stay in Orlando in 2011 to 2013 i loved it. But then again anything would be nice to me coming from Mississippi but the one thing i hated about Orlando is that there were no jobs even back then the economy there is trash oh and stay away from lee rd
Hope and Pray we never become Homeless Not everyone homeless is bad not everyone can make tons of money not everyone has a high paying job a youtuber or very successful.. some of the greatest people barely make it day to day not enough good paying jobs with the cost of living. Prayers for all homeless people hope they mostly make it out bc all won't there are to many rich people in Florida for anyone to be homeless. If every wealthy or Rich person did their part 2 get atleast 1 family or person off the street homelessness would almost go away.We Have to be GratefullThankfullBlessed for God's Grace N Mercy for our Roof etc. And Every humans matter no matter their money status or the neighborhood they live in. JESUS SAYS US ❤
Los Angeles have lot more homeless tents then any place in America I lived there in 2017-2019 now back in NYC and I’m from Orlando Florida …can’t compare….but never seen what is shown in this video in my hometown Orlando before.. no one can afford to live there anymore which is the reason for the increased homeless population.
You only drove around paramore and pine hills and then say Orlando has gone to crap… well no shit, you drove around the worst parts of town lol. Did you drive through Thornton park? Eola heights? Lake Cherokee? Ivanhoe? Colonial town? Winter park? You’re literally just showing the bad side of town, do you have some agenda against Orlando lol?
Orlando was pretty busy during New Year's but quickly has dwindled down for 2023. I believe it to be for several factors. Number one the economy is gone to crap. And people are being very careful how they spend their money. Especially after Christmas now. Secondly Orlando has been getting a lot of bad rap from Governor Ron DeSantis. So a lot of people that used to go there feel uncomfortable to be there because they're afraid that they will be threatened or mistreated particularly those of the lgbtq population. While at the same time people that are completely against lgbtq don't want to be there because they have listened to all the propaganda hype Ron DeSantis keeps putting out.. So hopefully this is just a adjustment. For Orlando but it's been a double whammy for the whole area as far as tourist go. That's my take on the situation anyway many others may have a different opinion. There's also been a switch to cruising from seeing the amusement parks because Cape Canaveral has been growing with tourism. In addition I believe many people will start coming back when the weather returns back to normal hot Florida sunny weather.🌅🏰
This is really a sad development! It's what happens when you have skyrocketing home and rental prices. Florida's unsustainable boom will settle down but then poverty will likely boom too, with likely still unaffordable prices even if they go down significantly.
Orlando has changed my friend. Homelessness is one of the new normal. Also, one has to be careful when driving and avoid road rage at all times. People are getting shot almost every day due to road rage among other things. Gun violence is normal as well which is sad. Safe travels ✌
It doesn't have to be like this and there is no reason to just say "hey that's normal" and be ok with that. Speak out and vote for people who will make the difference.
Shit bro you could have turned east on colonial and found even more homeless. Subway, Boston market and a crab shack are now occupied homeless camps lol. Orlando got even worse the last year.
Actually, do you want to know when the issue really started? .... yeah.. so when did housing get expensive? when did OD rates get worst? any idea? you really didnt make a smart comment there
I see most buying homes and starting businesses. Specially the ones that came after maria. If i ever see a homeless puerto rican i will let you know.. I specifically seek out puerto ricans for their amazing food and music and car shows. If anything they gave orlando more life. Granted they are kinda violent but thats just something to keep the tourists from getting too fresh with the locals. I don’t mind them.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS not my experience when I was in Orlando I seen a Rican on every corner asking for change and in 2017 half of them that came had a addiction to something
California has 1/3 of all the homeless it's going double is the forcast that's over 250000 people without a home there are 1000s here alone a good decision is to avoid Texas, Florida and California to many people
