🇬🇧 Very good video but tragic.Emigrated to Hamilton in 1981 but had to return to UK because of Stelco strike and recession. Now 71 but still have fond memories.Thanks for the upload.
This city is behind only to Toronto and Vancouver in terms of how expensive houses are in Canada. Each of these homes are prob at least 700K. Just let you guys know just how dire the housing market is up here; the US doesnt come close.
lol.. drove all the way until there was a driveway ramp off sidewalk... even though he has a small suv, could have easily gone down the sidewalk curb.. babying his vehicle
I work in Hamilton in Healthcare, and live in Mississauga. I'm not a big fan of the city of Hamilton, particularly Main Street/Hwy 8. It is funny however to see videos of Toronto or Hamilton and have people call these areas "bad", and then look at videos of Chicago, LA, New York in their "bad" areas. No comparison.
seems like a lot of the videos he has on canadian citys have comments like this saying he should have went elsewhere.. is the hoods less known or easy to miss or something?
Facts . And the only gangs in hamilton are l.o.m and bna and ion even think they active anymore they are yute gangs . Hamilton is mostly known for crack heads on odsp
It's somewhow weird to think that Hamilton, as distinct from greater Toronto, is larger than the metro areas of cities like Belfast, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Skopje, etc.
I've been watching Charlie for a hot minute! Every now and then I put in a search for Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Can't believe this popped up! It was always the nearest bigger city to my hometown of Port Dover. I lived there back around 1989-1993. Worked down on Barton Street. Took the train all the way downtown to catch a mountain train because for latter half of time I lived there.. I lived on the mountain! The early part of living there I lived around Gage Ave. I barely recall any of this! Things have changed
@@Nite640 I grew up Barton and Sherman right by the bar lol that area gets sketch af at night, have had 2 friends shot dead there and tons of home invasions, hookers and drugs.
Nice to see that you made it up to Hamilton . The downtown area is a liitle run down and could use some serious construction but still good enough to go down to . Dr.Disc on Wilson and James St. is only reason i still go downtown , Barton St. is problably the worst area . It's still home though . Steeeltown reppin' !!!!!
I am sorry but I am from midwest in America and it took QUITE a while to me to see some "hood" places. Idk if Charli just went there too late because the place looked like they were fixing it up. Saw some new homes, updated homes. Saw some well managed lawns, etc. Of course its probably what "hood" is to each person.
@@marlak4203 Never said i was comparing where i live to the states . Obviously we're much better up here than you guys in the states , Just was saying what it's like living up here . We do have our run down areas but what city doesn't ,The city is getting better and whatnot and still enjoy going downtown when i can . Have been to the states and did enjoy it . Home is home .
@@craigstrachan Well like i said the places did look good so you guys are doing a LOT better than how we are down here. Goodness, saying "down here" made it sound like i'm from Austrailia. LOL.
@@marlak4203 Have been to the states and our "hoods" are definately not as bad as yours in the states . Then again poverty and hardship is everywhere . Some places you just see it more .
@@craigstrachan Sho nuff. And its just an unfathomable thing when that kind of stuff is right in a nation that is the richest in the world (hmf). And esp right in the nations capital there's homeless folks sleeping on the steps and all kinds of hood stuff. You know i wonder if Charli has done that already
Not accurate at all, the first few are but are now illegal apartments. The rest are stilli hanging on, as gentrification makes it's way to this area. BTW that strech of Barton is probably one of the most dangerous once the sun goes down. Most lively too in terms of people watching
Idk why charlie went to hamilton only gangs or pollies out there are youth gangs lom and bna and gangs from toronto come there ot to trap. He should of went to toronto instead for more blocks to check . Hamilton is mostly just known for crackhead activitys and the opioid problem. They recently declared a emergency over the number of od"s
Wow, you're in my city! Been watching you for a long time! TBH, you didn't visit the worst areas, but still hilarious to see my city here. Wish I could have met you!😍
When he crossed Emerald and Barton is probably the worst area in the city. 2 shootings and 6 suspicious fires all within a couple months. And thats just events that got reported
ok well thank you cause i was looking at it like: it took him a while and some edits to finally get to the areas. Then the areas had a lot of updated homes with some nice lawns. Things were neat. You can tell by the style of the homes they are old but that is all. Nothing abandoned except at the last few seconds. I was really looking forward to some Canadian hoods compared to here in America. Lol.
Come to Cornwall Ontario. It's not the most famous city but we have alot of rundown decrepit houses and sketchy people especially in the East end. If you ever go to Ottawa and Montreal it's right between the 2 cities an hour apart right off the NY state border and 20 minutes from the Quebec border. The city was once a mill town now notorious for drug smuggling and drug abuse you definitely won't regret coming to this town. The best time to visit would be on the 1st of the month in the East end because that's when most of the action is happening. Also what makes Cornwall unique from the rest of Canada is the fact that most of the houses in the old parts of town that were built in the 1900s for lower class factory workers are still up and being rented out by slum Lord's to welfare people and drug addicts where as the rest of the Canada most of those houses were torn down for development and those people were moved to low income apartment complexes.
@@marlak4203 The neighbourhoods in Winnipeg such as Lord Selkirk Park, Dufferin, William Whyte, Point Douglas, Centennial, West Alexander, Central Park, and Spence are a little sketchy and have a high violent crime rate by Canadian standards. North Central in Regina I hear is a bit of a scuzzy area but I’m from Winnipeg so I don’t know Regina quite as well.
this isnt the hood of hamilton.. you gotta find out the real spots before you go around canadian cities... not representing whats really going on in the country properly..
This is one small, north end, part of the city. There are numerous areas in Hamilton that are newer, with landscaping, parks and more affluent touches etc. This very small view does not represent the entire city.
This video looks recent. For the most part, Hamilton just doesn't have a ton of traffic. People here will complain when it's more backed up than usual, but our "backed up" never lasts long (unless there's a major accident)
Hahahahahaha! The Canadian Hood! Love my Canadians! It's the Old Country, to me. Canada is where the French, Irish and German parts of my family are from. On both sides. It's a marvelous country.
Have to visit Newfoundland Also Hamilton has to many one way streets mad confusing out their . Come to Cambridge it's like a zombie apocalypse happening

Oh wow saw the house where I was born my mother died Emerald st north 2nd from the bridge !
