- A video of an East Cleveland street lined with abandoned homes and littered with old furniture has been circulating the internet. It has people asking why haven’t city official done something about it.
When I was born 62 years ago, my family lived on Chapman. It was a beautiful neighborhood. Lower middle class, but a place filled with people. A community of neighbors and friends. The old apartment buildings were stately and elegant, frozen in time. My grandmother died (of natural causes) in one of those apartments. A widow who had just started receiving Social Security, she was so proud she could have an apartment of her own. It is so hard to see what it has become. My heart aches for the people of East Cleveland. No one wants to live like this. Poverty and drugs and loss of hope have created a world no one knows how to fix. Everyone gave up on them, and they gave up on themselves. Sending love and prayers to all. It's all I can do.
Never elect Democrats.
I live in Cleveland those buildings been empty over 20 years no surprise, go over on East 55th. and Luther the old Wilson Middle School has been sitting there since it closed in 2001 empty. This is a common sight all over the city, East 61st, off Ashland same view, different location old empty buildings sitting around 20 years or more, don't forget the westside, same thing just drive down West 65th. between Clark and Storer Ave.
i live in youngstown and it looks just how cleveland does.... northeast ohio in general really getting chewed up and spit out... :/
Meanwhile many homeless people living in tents in other parts of the country. So sad.
@@colewilson9196 well Kent isn’t to bad! Move to Kent if your dealing with this not even once have I have seen crazy things that you would see! Ok maybe some abandon buildings but yeah! Move to Kent it’s amazing. And you can get a job there! I mean there are many places! And maybe visit Ravenna and go guidos. But don’t move to Ravenna just go there some times! It’s next to Kent ok!
They tear up the homes,dump the junk all over and expect the city to clean it up.
It's almost unbelievable that nobody is going to do anything about these buildings. It looks like some sort of post-apocalyptic scenario. Maybe there's something just a little prophetic about that. The health of any civilization can be assessed by the way its government treats the poor, the infirm, the elderly, and anyone else who doesn't meet their particular expectations of how they think people should look or act.
Post-apocalyptic---very well stated!!
Why cant all those buildings just get torn down? Turn all that land into parks. Those buildings are ugly and they bring trouble
I owned one of the buildings, but the fire department burned my building as training and tired to lie about it. They did $150,000.00 in damage and said it was on me.
If it's that bad, why won't the people in the community and the business owners clean up the eyesore
Everything takes money. My home city been in debt since the 80s
I swear there is virtually nowhere in the UK that looks quite as bad as some of these places in the USA
DEMOCRAT RAN 👍👍
Yo this is sweet!💥How long have you been making videos for?
Sad and heartbreaking. Not the EC that grew up knowing. Where the hell was all that money when they needed it before it came to this???? It’s funny how this money is available now after people could no longer afford to live there it not available to invest in jobs and programs. Ain’t that about a BITCoH???
Just give me some sticks of dynamite. Not too hard.
Pick up trash and let buildings fall down themselves.
Wow, we wouldn't be allowed to have these kind of buildings accessible to the public. Health and Safety would be on the case!
Looks like the residents should make sure the same do NOthing politricks should have a high priority to be voted to the ---> Exit
Wow isn't this a trend...a clean sweep from D.C. on down...long gone are the days of working for the ppl and onto filling their corrupted pockets. 🤯
Shame on the state for doing nothing for its people, get some prisoners from the jails to do something, get community service, shame on the city. Everyone deserves better.
All cities need to stop building owners from abandoning property
The building owners in East Cleveland, couldn't give that property away. They had no choice but to walk away! Very sad story....
I use to live in Cleveland.
If this bordered a white neighborhood, you can guarantee these buildings and this area would have been positively dealt with the MOMENT it became abandoned. But since it is in a working- middleclass to low income black area it is NOT high on the local governments priority list! My question is where are the local Activists who should be instrumental in calling their elected officials on the carpet for this egregious oversight and total lack of concern!
no. blacks dont work. this is not working class neighborhood. residents are supported by govt. it's very simple.
Lol this is the result of all that diversity
🤔🤔🤔
These abandoned houses/buildings should be demolished someone can get robbed, raped and murdered inside of these places!
They do. A serial killer, Michael Madsen used a bando there to rape and torture his victims.
We got millions of employed people who are homeless in California because it’s too expensive. If I was homeless I’ll go to East Cleveland and fix up those buildings and squat till I get squatters rights and own the place.
When we goin.
😯
Syria in America
These buildings should not be torn down especially the brick ones!
Ummmm, why not
Yes! Did you notice the facade of the building at minute 2:03. This architecture from the 1920's can not be replaced. It must be restored.
@@msadventure49 I fought that battle for years - unfortunately, that will never happen in EC - that place needs a miracle bc there is absolutely no hope at this point of it ever coming back, trust me. The older people are dying off and those that can leave, do.
@@wyattearpswoman838 So, sad. Thanks for your efforts.
What the f it matter they rip thru beutiful neighborhoods as if not a care and aint going to care this sh aint accidental be shamefull
Call the FED's if you want to follow the money_________________
This Kool leave them up yo! I mean da kids have some places to play! teens have a place to hang out drink beer and wine and have sex
! da bums have a place to stay! Shit man y'all gots it all! It's da land man da land!
But they gentrifying everything inna dc but u got shit like this in bmore n Cleveland. they should start that shit in neighborhoods that actually are abandoned
That would make way too much sense lol. Sad state of affairs we have going on.
Democrats 👌
Why i wonder what caused all that. Probably Trump supporters. On second thought ughhhhh........
*FACTS IS FACTS, IT'S ALWAYS DA BLACKS...* Do you see white neighborhoods that look like this? No. You do not. They are well manicured and pristine. Class dismissed.
243wayne1 check out white trailer parks then talk about cleanliness
Umm Einstein this is a white neighborhood. It was build by whites for whites. the cause is not others with a different skin color. Its depopulation. Maybe if we didn't pay our darker colored beautiful women to murder there babies there would be enough African Americans to keep these building full and maintained. If you don't have at least 3 children then you are part of the problem.
Duh it’s the whites because y’all oppressed everybody brought drugs and weapons in the black communities! Or did the blacks bring it in the boats instead!!? Lol
@@rman6746 White flight is what caused this due to high crimes of blacks esp. in the 1960s and 1970s after MLKS death. Riots didnt help and then it just went to shit
Yes hon, there are white neighborhoods that look like this AND white people LIVE in them.
The black reporter that did the on scene reporting probably lives in one of those buildings and walked past her OWN couch and mattress on the street!
☺
Anyone else get the vibe that OP is a fat 20s white dude who lived with his drug addicted mother?
