I exit a (3) Subway Train at the Rockaway Avenue Station and venture into Brownsville: historically one of Brooklyn's most dangerous neighborhoods. I walk through Tilden Houses, Brownsville Houses, Sutter Avenue, Mother Gaston Boulevard, and Van Dyke Houses. Traditionally a Jewish neighborhood, Brownsville is also home to former heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson.
From Wikipedia:
"Brownsville is a residential neighborhood located in eastern Brooklyn in New York City. The 1.163-square-mile (3.01 km2) area that comprises Brownsville has 58,300 residents as of the 2010 United States Census. The neighborhood's boundaries are unclear, but it is generally bordered by Crown Heights to the northwest; Bushwick and Cypress Hills to the north; New Lots to the east; Canarsie to the south; and East Flatbush to the west.
Founded in its current incarnation in 1858, initially a settlement composed of Jewish factory workers, Brownsville underwent a major demographic change in the 1950s that saw an influx of African-American and Latino residents. Since then, it has consistently held one of the highest poverty and crime rates of any neighborhood in New York City."

Damm son, you just nearly made me cry, you just once AGAIN took me down MEMORY LANE. i used live on 335 BLAKE AVE, THEN WE MOVED TO 275 BLAKE. BACK IN 1983-84. Basically nothing has CHANGED, even THOUGH it was or still is a rough neighborhood, I LOVE it. Lost my best friend. KEVIN BRANCK, ON THE SIX FLOOR ON OSBORN ST. Two days before he passed me and TROY SMOKE A BLUNT AND DRANK BEER BY THE BASKETBALL COURT. THAT SAME WEEK FRIDAY AROUND MIDNIGHT, GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD BY SOMEONE HE KNEW ON THE SIX FLOOR NAME AN OLDER DUDE NAME SCKILIT. WHILE PLAYING WITH A GUN THAT WAS 1984, HE WAS 16 years old. He and i went to THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL. THE BEST 4 YEAR'S OF MY LIVE.
You sound like you might know my older brother or sister. We lived on Osborn. 268 and went to Jeff and Wingate
So sorry
But you have also good memories...it all depends on relationships and community you build. Have a good Life.
Thomas Jefferson near Livonia ave? That school is terrible dude
@@j1ah826 maybe, but I have great memories from the school...... 1981_1985.
Damn, you are a true ballsy NYer! I'll never forget working with a Puerto Rican dude named Julio, he grew up in Bed Stuy in the 80's . He always said "Man, I ain't scared of Brooklyn, I grew up in Bed Stuy I go anywhere in Brooklyn...except Brownsville son, I do not fuck around in Brownsville!"
That was in the 1980s, right? Is Brownsville safer these days, in almost 2020?
Ivy Agnes Nguyen Every neighborhood in NY is safer. But not every neighborhood is safe!
Faux Wanata yea less crime is a disgrace
@Faux Wanata white people fix everything shut it
There's no people on the corners or anywhere. Everybody's staying home stuck to the internet. It's 2019.
Mike Tyson Brought Me Here....
this types of buildings reminds me of my childhood in Queens (boulevard) near parker towers. Thank you, this sounds of the city with this high buildings relaxes my soul and gives me positive energy to go on !
I have family in Brownsville! Such great memories!
Do they like it there
I bloody love this channel!!!
I was born in the Bronx and was brought up hating Brooklyn, for no reason at all ...Until I started working in BK and I started to have a real change of heart and today I can say " I love Brooklyn. For all the right reasons.
Yes! I'm from the bronx and we really didnt fuck with Brooklyn at all lol
@@raquelfrizzell same for Brooklyn, i saw someome from the south bronx come to brownsville and get murdered, that's how it was back in the days sadly
Is it because of “that Brooklyn Bullshit..we on it”. Back in the days, they use to say Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
@@ShawnGS300 damn
@@raquelfrizzell everyone hated Brooklyn said we was Grimey Im from Flatbush lol
Lots of memories in the library growing up, man you walked right pass my old block where it all stared........

thanks for these videos! I miss New York!
Must be mad early in the morning on a weekday after the youth were in school. Aint nobody out there this early.
Definitely
It looks very nice and clean to me!

Been away since 1979 now in FLORIDA and hate it so much. But God blessed me with a BEAUTIFUL Habitat home.
I'm happy you did this video. People always calling the black and brown community dirty or violent. What you show is how peaceful it can be at time. Thank you! If you ever want to do this at night time. Let me know. I got you bro. Thanks for the vid and keep doing your thing.
I used to live out there memories 👍👍👍
Bville the hood the pj its all the same crazy.
To many memories
My Old Hood Brownsville&Seth Low Projects💯...it looks like early morning type shit! Memories Good&Bad! My family still out there. I'm Downtown Bklyn now💕💕
Wasgud
One of my earliest memories is walking through this apartment my parents were moving into. The paint smelled fresh and it was so clean. My mother told me it was such an improvement from the tenement we were living in the Bronx. It was a new building at the corner of Dumont and Stone. Yes it was Brownsville Houses. Lived there in the 1950's then my parents moved to California. Now I am a grandfather and live in a nice home with a view.
My message to all is that it does not matter where you are from just keep going and stay clean, study and you will make it. Never blame others for your failures. It doesn't matter if you fall just remember to get yourself up. Google the great folk who were from Brownsville and made it big.
your 100% RIGHT
Everybody rocking some nice kicks
Nice video again!:)
Hello ActionKid,i really enjoy watchig Your films from NYC,it's almost like to be there:)Some day i'll visit New York;greetings from Warsaw:)
Brownsville looks like such a nice place, and so peaceful in this video but sadly it's one of the worst places in New York
Not really. It's bad but i feel it got a little calmer even the police in the neighbourhood says it's changing.
It looks nice on the outside but crazy part about it somebody was prolly getting they head chopped of behind those project walls as he was walking past filiming
That looks like one of the cleanest projects I've ever seen. 😳
@@bigdeelow1 Trash doesn’t kill people in the projects
I see people who think they about it but not about it at all. When someone cap on how tough NY is on G life, i do nothing but smh
Your brave for walking trough projects you don’t belong in
Chris Barrett ...You have to act like you belong and have a that certain swag and sway your way through any ghetto part of the city. Don't act like a tourist unless you want to look like a visitor.
If he was Mexican he wouldn't stand a chance. They dont like us
@@LaDiiGiggleZ718 you mean the stupid ass young teenagers cuz that's exactly wat they are they do that to anybody who looks vulnerable and don't look like they belong so is not that they don't like him that's just the code...action the kidd just got lucky cuz it wasn't really nobody outside to fuck with him cuz that go pro camera wouldve def got snatched
@@LaDiiGiggleZ718 who is they? Because last I checked the projects were filled with all types of people. Secondly, if you want to say that, the opposite can be true as well.
He dont get no points 4 dat i used to walk through Potomac Gardenz all the time
Love the videos, watches them from rural Norway! Specially with the map in the first seconds. Is it possible during the course of the videos to put in the upper corner -for orientation- a little map with a red dot on the place where you are at that moment? F.e. every 5 minutes or when you're take a corner?
Thank you! I think the written timestamps are good enough, it might be too distracting to overlay a map
This ain’t grand theft auto lmao this is Brooklyn
Me to
The NYC's projects looks like our projects here in Sao Paulo, Brazil with little differences but what strikes me the most is the quality of the public spaces and sidewalks. Here's it's piles of garbage everywhere,no green areas and broken sidewalks😲

Not gonna lie when I saw the title I freaked a little 😂 I've saw a lot of updates from here but you did another great job..... How did you feel though genuinely walking around
Thanks! It wasn’t anything too unpleasant walking around. You always have to be aware of your surroundings no matter where you are.
Livonia Avenue** , nice video by the way. Can you do a walk from the L train at Livonia Ave to the 3 At Junius street to show the station connection
Thanks for the correction! I could if I'm ever in the area again.
The old hood I grew up and ran through. My family lived in Tilden, Van, and Brownsville houses. So Many schoolmates and life friends have passed on. But you want to impress, do this doing the hot summer days when everyone’s outside with nothing to do. 👀 Great video and memories though.
Holy ... You actually came out of there in one piece!!! You are one crazy/gutsy person. You were crazy enough to go into Brownsville with an expensive go pro camera.
This is hood? Looks so peaceful, clean and nice lol this aint nothing close to where i live in deep east Oakland
Lol this look like the morning time 🤣whaaa everything changes in brownsville onna weekend hitting night time and people tryna get lit.. i live in brownsville, he wasnt lucky its just always lowkey dead in the morning, at night, try doing this same walk recording lol
Raw_Smoking408 go out there around 8 😂 mannnn
Nobody was stealing his go pro🙄 you acting like he walked through the jungle with some lions chasing him. 😂
@@jonn40853 This is just one st of projects in the hood, early in the morning before the hawks come out.🤦🏾♀️
You should make a video on Jouvet night
Hi Actionkid. As a lover of Baseball and the architecture of old baseball stadiums I am wondering if you have ever done a walking video of where old Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn was
or the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan? Thanks again for another wonderful video.
I’ve actually never even heard of them before. I’ll have to do some research
Hi Actionkid, many Brooklyn citizens consider the day the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles and the day that Ebbets Field was demolished to be the saddest day in the history of Brooklyn.
Wow they even have scaffolding in the middle of a park. NYC, city of scatfolding.
Grew up on 180 Powel street Seth low projects starting 1974. My cousins were Jehovahs witnesses (Bitting Family) lived in Van Dycke houses. The sidewalks & streets had embedded bottle caps on/in the ground.
I grew up in ENY. You are one brave person.
I love the way the buildings look, I'm not from NYC so I cant speak on it.
You got ballz Kid !!!!

Wow. You are kinda brilliant. I have always been fascinated with Brownsville. I live in San Francisco, I think it used to be very Jewish, no? It was a beautiful walk we just took. I
ActionKid you should’ve went through Marcus Garvey
Nobody is outside must be 6am LOL!, We wanna see the people......
Grew up in linden houses on the 4 th floor, so many memories, moved out in 2015, shit was lit growing up in Brownsville, just tuck ya chain in
So how u like it there
Good ol memories , i grew up in howard houses in the 1980's , 1990' s very goodchild-hood memories with mychildhood friends .myparents are from brooklyn n.y.
Its crazy how accurate gta is!
I'm from Bville,and this was done real early,if Mother Gaston is empty
It seems like nobody notices you recording? How do you have your camera concealed/attached?
ruclips.net/video/77t0LKAg13I/видео.html
i worked with a guy that was a nyc cop for 7 years. he said it was hell he said that he worked the overnight shift around the projects, and it was stressful as hell after 7 years he quit to go drive a bus.
2:18 is the strip from the movie Brooklyn's Finest. Where Wesley Snipes gets shot and Don Cheadle tries to save him.
Come to my hood in Queensbridge. Love your videos.
Looks fine
What kind of cam you use beautiful quality
I use a GoPro HERO7 Black. My video equipment is listed in the video description.
I know,it's good quality> I enjoyed the video, because I have been to New York; but I guess I am sort of accustomed to living dangerously..I am from New Orleans!
man just keep doing it action kid
NYC slums always look a lot better than those in Philly, Chicago, Newark, Baltimore etc etc. Fewer burned out ruins, less grafitti, more shops open, less threatening.
Much nicer than Philly, Baltimore and parts of London. Tidy looking and neat.
Ny has some nice trees !
Everybody want it to be all bad but some of the coolest people come from those projects
New York is not a hood anymore
@@bigbyrd9803what
Action Kid: Thanks for posting this video. Was this Sunday afternoon or this morning. Bill
It was Tuesday afternoon
@@ActionKid I wondered. Not too many people out and about.
That's my hood. Rockaway avenue is my stop. You walked past my mothers building lol and a school i went to. Thats home to me
It's crazy when u see your neighborhood on RUclips..... I've seen mines a few times, I'm from Southside of Chicago.
@@bigdeelow1 they tour down most of the PJs out there I was there in 02
Love Brooklyn, where my Family is from.E.N.Y. Cyprus Hill Projects.AndJamaica Queens and to Long Island-

Soundview houses and Eastchester houses- can't walk through the front gate w out 2 layers of kevlar
action kid your one brave individual walking threw these buildings that was very dangerous
Can you do the one in Red Hook, Brooklyn?
I’ll consider it!
My Home TOWN, I saw my First OF 7 MURDERS BY THE TIME I WAS 19, But Made life LONG FRIENDS, AND TAUGHT ME CONFIDENCE & TO BE A MAN
you get off on rockaway train station but evening when there people out it look like recorded in this morning.
i remember seeing the buildings at 5:20, or at least a good interpretation of them, on Grand Theft Auto IV. :-D
Gta IV my favorite 🥰
Sidewalks look cleaner than the ones here in Los Angeles. We got a nasty looking city!
Trust me housing must have cleaned it up early other than that it's always nasty out there
You sure do!
Gentrification.......🤔
What day of the week was this and what time of day
Oh my times have changed!!
New york projects apartments are sprawling compared to ours here in Little Rock.
Born and raised in B-ville....LH stand up ! Rockaway and Sutter or as the OGs say (stone Ave) but he didn't even go thru half the hood he walked from 3 train to L train and got up outta there...
At 2:00 is where they shot that scene in brooklyn's finest where Caz gets shot right?
I’m not familiar with that scene.
2:18, yea
WOW
Hi action kid David here a Scot living in London I love your vlog as usual and I have lived in housing schemes as there are named in Glasgow Scotland and most people are law abiding but we do have ass holes and no gooders there to so thank you for sharing it David
Hi Kay fip thank you for the reply and all the best to you David McCandless
The Ville is cool. Just mind your business.
Exactly! Thank you. Same can be said for anywhere else in NYC or any other city in the US or in the world, for that matter.
@@blueriver4484 when in Rome act like the romans
But if u look like a chump or an easy target. Then you are food.
@Tupac Shakur The whole NY was a war zone back in the 1990s!! But today it is NOTHING like back then INCLUDING where you lived! 137th & Brook is the 40 Pct and YES back in the 1990s it was a war zone it's Not today! As of today August 30th there have been 6 Murders in the 40 Pct so far this year. There have been a total of 35 people shot so far this year so its NOTHING like it use to be. There have been 273 Robberies there so far this year that comes out to 1 person robbed per day so NO people aren't getting robbed like crazy there anymore
Facts smh
You know you live in a rough neighborhood when you put a Razor Wire fence around the Veggie garden at 21:33
😂
Brownsville in the day actually looks kind of peaceful, it doesn't particularly look that mennacing.. Though God only knows what is going on is some of those projects.. And I would not want to be walking around down there at night
@@QueensNativeNYC I was thinking the same. Everybody must be in the house...lol. Looks like it was still semi cold out.
@@TheHowToKing Yep, just watched it again, in fact the only thing I hear is birds tweeting.. I don't hear gun-shots or gangster language or anything like that.. Though I do hear the sounds of ambulances in the background quite often, you can use your imagination on that, most likely domestic abuse or some poor soul overdosed on something.. Life in the projects is still no cake walk no matter how you look at it..
Lmbo🤣🤣🤣
I feel you bro on your depiction of Brownsville and I'm born and raised in Brownsville still living in Brownsville 42 years old left and came back trust me trying to leave again and it's a lot better than what it used to be but so true mid 90s early 2000 you have to worry about what color shirt you had on walking through Rockaway Avenue trust me so homeboy just showed you know that the neighbor actually has improved
That neigborhhod was like hell in the 90s.. When I was a young guy I used to work for a low budget furniture store near the border of Queens and Brooklyn and I would go into those ghetto areas of Brooklyn often to do furniture deliveries..
Never been there, never will...thanks for the video..now i don't have to visit, for sure.. Keep up the great work.
How come there is new fencing ever were?
Dude! If you look up the first scene in Bullet (1996) these projects look JUST LIKE IT
Love you nyc
This Gato's camera got me thinking he walking like Ernie and Bert through the Projects.
The Ville Is the last samurai of BK.. Look at all the gentrification thru the BK. But the Ville stays the same. Always will.. Keep the BK breathing!
MultiNemsi white folks are making their way up there, albeit slowly. I’ve seen some of them get off on Saratoga.
@@MichelleJ79 Shit sis...They better know where they comin..We ain't about that playplay. Never ran never will
Michelle the fuck you talking about white folk
@@MichelleJ79 once I see them getting off on rockaway ave, then we'll talk lol
@@martinwadia300 I feel you lol. I don’t live in Brownsville but some of my ppl who do have told me they’re starting to see small sprinklings of white folks on certain blocks. The day that Brownsville gentrifies will be the day hell has officially frozen over
Back in 05 i was visiting family, shorty hit line come to Brownsville around 11pm nah im good they dont fuck around in Brownsville
The murder inc. crew were from SARATOGA AVE. The store from where the crew operated still there. The CORNER STORE RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRAIN STATION. Used to be owned by a lady named ROSE. All the mob hits back in the days, came from that store.There is were also PITKIN movie theater was also a famous place back then, I think today it houses a nyc school. If you look around BROWSVILLE has a lot of history.
You must remember Stone Ave. I lived on the corner of Dumont and Stone.
I bet that place looks a lot better than it did 20 years ago but I still would NEVER want to live there or even walk around there day or night! Its just depressing! And the covered walkways, is that a permanent structure, such an eyesore!
Lol yeah cause people stay throwing shit outta windows lol
