    Moved to Orlando from Chicagoland as a teenager in 1967 and heard about Belle Glade within a couple of weeks even though it is over 150 miles away. Never been there and were discouraged from ever going there. You really did your homework on this one Chris from the AIDS epidemic right up to the present! The video is stunning in that where can you find a town this size not part of a large metro area with so so many apartment buildings? One hope here is diversification. As Florida gets more crowded that could happen here. This excellent video shines a needed light on places that need it. Very good job as usual!

    Greetings, from Labelle, Florida. These communities are less than 50 miles from my house and I am a native south Floridian. I've personally pass through these communities quite often, know people who live there, and observe the issue from a local view. Let me list some direct reasons.
    Generational poverty is where it starts. Fatherless homes, government funded households, lack of education, and a community that celebrate the worst part of our society. Just drive thru on a Saturday night and all this becomes very apparent. Ask me how I know.
    It's easier to make babies and get paid by the government than get a job. Theft and drug dealing pay better than " minimum wage". Quite frankly they never look or see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yes there are hard working people here, but very few high paying jobs, and almost no affordable housing that's not in the "hood". Thriving communities surrounding these places.
    Yes I come from a 2 parent household, didn't have children out of wedlock, stayed out of legal troubles, always had a job, and never touched hard core drugs. Which just proves my point here.
    I am blessed and Kind Regards to all.

      As a descendent of generational poverty, descendent of those that are from Pahokee and other small towns like Belle Glade, agricultural workers, a long-term recipient of government benefits, who now owns two homes and works for the federal government, your comments are quite classist. There is a lot more to economic equity and lack of it than the issues that you’ve mentioned, to include how children from economic insecurity are treated in schools, lack of understanding of the systems that this country runs and thrives on, harsher discipline in schools, and so many other factors that cannot be easily explainedexplained away by just people earning more money. I often tell people I’m an individual who makes six figures that is still poor. There is something that generational poverty does to people, and if we keep focusing on what poverty is versus what it does to people, then will never really get to the root of what causes it.
      It takes the average family for generations to fully exit poverty. What does that mean? While I’ve achieved great things, the length of time it took, and the intensity of the work I had to do to finally figure it out, well, at least figure it out to the best of my ability, unfortunately, my descendants are living out my same reality. Poverty is a plague I’m not telling you what I think, I’m telling you what I know.

Poverty is created by poor decisions and you even admitted that you worked your way out of poverty?! So what's stopping others from doing that? I, along with millions of other people have some of the same issues and problems in life as you have. Please read my previous reply and let me know what I said was not facts.

      @@iamtiffanykelly3113 again we can agree to disagree. These facts are not my facts, they are THE facts. Please check out the facts on black Fathers and the repercussions of fatherless homes. Why does 13% of the population account for 60% of the violent crimes in this country, why do government funded households almost never make it out of poverty, why do black men kill black men at a significantly higher rate than white men kill anyone? Why does black culture embrace a culture that is the worst of society? Fatherless children born into poverty that rely on government funded programs has everything to do with this. Don't take my word for it, do your research and check THE facts.
      Again congrats on your success, but you are by far the exception and not the rule...
      BTW success is not determined by possessions, success is having a quality of life and freedom to do as you wish. Maybe if you lived within your means, make wise decisions, then you wouldn't make 100k and still be poor?!

    The reason it is beginning to look isolated is the sky rocketing rent prices. You have homes there selling for half a million dollars and rent for one bedroom apartments reaching $2,000 a month.

    The company I used to work for operated a facility in conjunction with the sugar mill to manufacture an industrial chemical from the waste from sugar production. In the 80's the place acquired the nickname "Belle AIDS" and everyone dreaded having to go there even for a short visit and not just because of the AIDS. The place was a hell hole. The stink of the swamp, fermenting sugar cane bagasse and industrial chemicals was horrible. And the people. Not one single member of our staff actually lived there and nobody who visited stayed there and did their best to avoid interacting with the locals and to be out of there before sunset. It was quite literally the worst place I have neve been and I have been to some truly awful places. We eventually had to shut the place down for environmental reasons but it was perpetually on the raw edge of turning a profit and probably should have been shut down a long time before it actually was. There will never be a stable economic base there, no business will ever locate there and bring "high paying jobs" to an area where the average person can't even read or write and most of them are convicted felons.

      But the algae itself isn’t pollution. Maybe bacteria from rotting fish, but if it happened in a lake with no fish, no danger to drinking that water.

      Cheap? Yes, 120k for an 800 sq ft home. It is possibly the most affordable part of the state. The price per square often has half any of the other population centers.
      Quiet? Heck, no. Highest crime rate in the county. I know sensible folk who grew up in the hood or hood adjacent along the coast who would never move out there.

    I went to Seacrest (now Atlantic) HS in the late 60's, early 70's. We played Belle Glade, regular season. It was known as bad news, as now. State Rd 80 crosses the state, and goes thru BG. You might want to tour Delray, Boca, and Boynton, including doing A1A from Lake Worth to Boca. That is where the yacht/ airplane rich live. You go north, you'll get to Palm Beach, and Mar a Lago, Trump's estate. It was built by one of the Post (cereal) heiresses. Anyway, south PB County is where my Dad had a furniture store, built in '62. 1440 N Federal Hwy (US1), North end of Delray, after the one way splits come back together. Check out Ocean Ridge, Dad had a house there for decades.
