These streets were gorgeous and the homes were too. I'm going to borrow a comment from another person in another video..."One group built these neighborhoods. Another group destroyed these neighborhoods. And the group that destroyed them blame the group who created them for why they destroyed them!" To me, this is the absolute truth.
This is where I grew up back in the late 80s and 90s. It was bad back then but not this bad. The city has no money. Cleveland was suppose to annex East Cleveland into Cleveland. But they declined. Not that Cleveland is any better it looks about the same. Other declining suburbs in the Cleveland area would include Euclid, Cleveland Heights, Warrensville Heights to name a few. East Cleveland is 96 percent Black. Use to be all WYT back in the early half of the 1900’s.
Im actually driving to Cleveland for no reason and want to see this area in person tomorrow. Im driving nonstop from Massachusetts to Ohio just because my friend said it's cheap out there so I wanna see what it's like. Its a 9 hr drive but I think it'll be fun, I'll prob stop by Toronto and buffalo too.
Gas up before you get here and and don’t let anyone “use” your phone not even to call their mama. Make sure you stay till it gets dark out. Might as well get the full experience.
DC, Cleveland, Memphis, New Orleans, and Baltimore, had the top 5, highest homicide rates out of the top 60 largest cities in the US at the end of 2023, Unfortunately, we all need to do better. Cleveland, especially needs to be cleaned up in certain parts 🤦🏽♂️
DC had the highest homicide increase in over 20 years according to their police data. It was 274 last year. Memphis is just out here breaking stupid records. (399) That was only 11 less homicides than a large city such as Philly (410). Memphis has already surpassed Baltimore, DC, New Orleans, Philly and NYC once again this year and seems to be on course to keep purging at no sign of slowing down. For it to be passed two big Northeast coast cities is just sad.
@@omfgCantGetaUsername like you said the highest in the past 20 years, butt 80s and 90s DC average over 400+ homicides a year, in what is consider Memphis highest homicide rate ever, and 398 to be clear is Memphis highest homicide rate, lls that wasn’t even an average year in DC, through the 80s and 90s let’s be clear, with an even less population then what Memphis have today lol 🙄 but yes, it’s sad to see what is happening in Memphis today
@@omfgCantGetaUsername This is a sad fact, but actual facts, what Memphis is doing today and this is a history high-level for them but what is considered a record high for Memphis is some of DC lowest numbers, not to mention DC, and New Orleans have the highest homicide rates ever in the United States of America, So again, it’s sad to see what’s happening in Memphis, today, but these are numbers DC has already seen and surpassed, but prayers to Memphis
@@washingtondc9290 I know. I'm aware of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and even early 2000s for some places of how bad things were. I know how high DC numbers were. NOLA's highest was 493 (something like that) back in '93 or '94. Stl and Detroit all of those cities were bad. Too many to name. Recently, Detroit reached record lows which is good. But, the reason I talked about Memphis is because this is what's happening in present day. Although, DC's past was bad, but the past is the past. Because if you really dig into it NYC, Chicago, Detroit, and LA had some of the highest atrocious numbers in the 70s, 80s, and 90s for either city. Each city went well pass the 600 mark with Chicago going up to 900. LA and NY were the only two cities breaking 1000 with NY going pass 2000. I come from Philly saying this. It wasn't good for us the last few pandemic years (2020-2022), but things have calm down a bit.
You should have traveled further on Terrace Rd. and filmed the grassy lot that was Huron Road Hospital, the huge vacant apartment buildings, the new school in the midst of all that decay (you only showed a corner of the new Shaw HS) , and sit there for a minute and watch the gophers run in and out of the potholes.
The funny part is that it not even a junkyard, the dumping crimes in Detroit are just that bad that it looks like there is a whole junkyard in your run of the mill everyday neighborhood there
I lived in East Cleveland for 27 years. I left 3 years ago, it was terrible then. I imagine it's much worse now. The young kids / gangs are a big problem.
@user-se3gv6bu9g drug I jus moved frm Cleveland Ohio on da westside 32nd str right around the corner from where Amanda berry was kidnapped at the end of the they shot black tar dope instead of sniffing it Cleveland Ohio iz awhole different type of vibe
@@darylbolzExactly. Even in times of poor, you didn’t see this in an Irish, or a Italian or any European American neighborhood. They really except us to believe this is simply due to no jobs. Smh
Nothing they can do. If they somehow get funding to build new homes, they would need to implant whites or cultured blacks. If not, the natives will just ruin those too.
They cant really be fixed in their state. It would most likely cost more money than it would be to tear them down and build new unfortunately. I know there are special programs out there that try to encourage such things, but its just too costly.
You know what , our government could do something about this.Really they could but just like Detroit, they rather just let this rott away.Its a shame nobody does anything to fix this problem in America.This looks like the walking dead series.
This is embarrassing, so glad you expose what is happening to our country / has happened...while we support countries around the world , we let our own Americans suffer
@@pbctttt02Oh don't worry, that won't last much longer, the Fed printed 500 billion dollars just in January alone. It's going to crash and then ALL the welfare stops
That's crazy. I saw a news story on here about some people who lived near one of those abandoned apartment buildings in East Cleveland. One of the buildings finally collapsed on it's own and almost fell on the man and the debris trapped their cars in their driveways. The mayor or whoever said the city is broke and there's not enough money to even tear the homes down. The National Guard or someone needs to go to all those places in America that looks like that and tear all those abandoned buildings down and at least let nature live there.
It only looks bad because the wrecks still stand. What would Prairie or Calumet Avenues or 63rd Street look like in Chicago if they never cleared away the slum wreckage?
The no endless decay and destruction that we humans live in and created this is it .... 🎉🎉 wow..and yes i have watched many videos and will continue... thank you for reminding us Charlie ❤
I'm from the area. Give it time... this area is on it's way to be gentrified. Especially since the rent & home prices on the Westside are getting out of hand.
i jus moved frm Cleveland Ohio on da westside 32nd str n when I stayed out there my people I stayed with took me to east Cleveland and omg that ish was a mf ghost town every buildin was dam near broaded up I'm glad I'm bac home Newark nj. Cleveland Ohio nuttie frfr
Back in the 70's black folk were flocking to EC. Look at it now, a vast waste land. I'm from 'The Land' and this is sad to watch. Shout out to Charlie Bo. I hope you didn't get hit by all those speed cameras in EC.
I thought Detroit looked Bad- Cleveland is worst- it has no life- no beautiful luxury style homes- no life just one dark prune- - even the sky is always gray throughout and I hate the way there porches are set- no open space just closed in which puts a dark cloud over it- I wanted to come to Cleveland to dance in the Chicago Steppers club- but I think I’ll decline
the rust belt is a terribly depressing place. this is what happens when Capitalists see dollar signs and try to cut costs: your jobs get shipped over seas, and your community dies. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest, where we're currently seeing the opposite side of this and rapid gentrification due to overpriced tech workers flocking here. why aren't places like this being revived, instead? because Capitalists see dollar signs.
This is the NEW America. A perfect zombie apocalypse. The zombies come out at nightfall. There is more life on Mars than there is in this region. This place is dead, I tell you. Dead. Dead.
And those buildings that were built to last 100-200 years were destroyed by the occupants in a fraction of that time. People take care of things they work hard for. You give freeloading bums anything and they destroy it. Build more at taxpayer expense and the same happens over and over.
