I grew up in Louisville, Fern Creek to be exact. I have seen how the city has expanded in population and crime, especially drug problems. Growing up, Bardstown road used to be easy to get through. Now it’s a nightmare with the increased traffic.
Thank you very much for this video! It has been so educational. I am moving to Louisville as a PhD candidate and this was by far the best video I found about Louisville on RUclips! Keep up the great work!
What wasn't mentioned about the schools. JCPS raises your home taxes every year. They also get around 40% of your vehicle, boat and rv taxes every year. All with the excuse of they need more money due to being broke, but the superintendent gets and $75,000 annual raise. Still trying to figure out how $26 million was spent on a new gym, auditorium and mediocre upgrades. Someone made out like a bandit in that bid.
Louisville was founded in honor of King Louis (Not Louah, not luhaa, but "Louie.") the XVI. When you visit, you are visiting "Louie Ville" not Louhvul, or Luvull, not LooAhVull, and so on. It is "Louie Ville". Got it?
I grew up in south Louisville Fairdale I've watched this city deteriorate use to be great i moved 6 years ago dont regret it a bit in Etown now.....wayyyy better
Moving to Louisville. You can speed in the school zone with impunity. Cops don’t yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Nobody does. Ride your bike? My son gets a polar pop tossed at him weekly. So if this your idea of fun I’d move to Louisville.
Yikes! You got me there! I can't believe I missed that during the editing process (tho Cincinnati’s skyline does have its charm!) Thanks for the catch-I'll work on my skyline skills for next time! 😅
I don’t give a rats house about the food in Louisville. I don’t live there. I don’t have any intentions of moving back there like I said, Mark’s barbecue was decent and the Vietnamese place and apparently you haven’t been to cities that have actual restaurants that are decent. I don’t care where you live. Maybe you just have poor choice and food. This is for Dirk whoever the hell that keeps tagging me.
Our city is being overrun with foreigners it's becoming a Spanish speaking city, and they are taking all the jobs, I guess we are supposed to happy about this !
Kentucky doesn't rank so well in health statistics. According to CDC, Kentucky ranks badly in heart disease, diabetes, respiratory ailments, cancer, kidney, stroke, septicemia, flu, and accidents. Kentucky ranks #39, in comparison to all the states among a wide range of issues, but ranks a poor #46 in health issues. Kentucky ranks 3.5 years less in life expectancy. Here Kentucky has either the minority or majority U.S. Senate leader, plus another U.S. Senator who is an eye doctor, but still ranks so poorly, with both governing Kentucky through their true conservative credentials of poor rankings. If you are hip about good finances and good health, the good life is still awaiting you in Jefferson County.
You aren't not a careful reader. I said 'according to CDC'. CDC is short for Center for Disease Control, employing those in the sciences, medicine, healthcare, technology, and so on.
That doesn’t mean you have to eat and consume everything that everybody else has been consuming in Louisville. It’s not about the city. It’s about what you consume.
If you're considering coming to Kentucky we have 67,000 illegal immigrants crime is through the roof killings more than ever every single night you never know when it's safe to go downtown that's why nobody goes anymore and it's spreading all throughout Kentucky
Not sure who will move to Louisville after watching this! Winters here are NOT that bad however! If you come here buy in the East end where most everything is better
Also don’t invest in a house anywhere here better off renting and if you like it for some reason then buy a home here but I’d advise to purchase in county’s nearby and travel into Louisville. Louisville is gang infested not a good city , the police are corrupt too … Just live here for a few months. Squatter issues as well I was gone for a month and someone squatted in my apartment neighbors didn’t care . Meth and Fentanyl are a huge issue here east end as well… there are cheaper and nicer city’s than Louisville … just watch news stories from the past 5 years of any city and remember they don’t even air half of the crime going on in that city .
@@mrjoshd yes it is idk bout in last month since lmpd actually cracking down bout earlier this year it very much was, ‘’you must not get out much ‘’… literally heard automatics throughout the night … people crime scene tape .. wasn’t even put on news .
@@mrjoshd they literally power washed a dudes brain matter off the sidewalk , wasn’t even put on news , some guy was choked to death , you really must not get out much to not notice these things …
@@mrjoshd also seen dude in hazmat suites power washing brainmatter off the sidewalk , someone got choked and beat to death for no reason or gang violence

I got bashed on the river front last week.
Thanks for watching and for sharing about your experiences!
Traffic comes with growth! Still Lville has one of the chillest traffic when compared to other major cities 👍🏼
The Highlands haven't been worth the trip since the day Ear-X-tacy closed it's doors

The opening image of city on an a river is Cincinnati
OMG! I know! Can you believe I missed that in the editing process?!
Olmstead also designed Cave Hill Cemetery, where Colonel Sanders, Muhammad Ali, and a bunch of other people are buried!
Yes, thanks for sharing!

Dam I was going to move here until those negatives. Thanks for saving me!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad I could help!
Very nice ur video

Lol. thanks for watching! Do you live in Louhvul?

Making Louisville almost the entirety of Jefferson county was a mistake.
Cool😊
Thanks!
I grew up in south Louisville Fairdale I've watched this city deteriorate use to be great i moved 6 years ago dont regret it a bit in Etown now.....wayyyy better
I'm glad you've found a great place to live! What do you like about Etown?
@@katieskeen always something to do more of a country crowd everyone is friendly
They invented this new thing called punctuation. You should check it out!
Looavulle is the best city in North Kentucky.
Thanks for watching! In your opinion, what makes Louisville the best?
Louisville is trash bro it's not the greatest place
It’s a dump
@@wendygavemehead Facts!

Interracial relationships are acceptable in Louisville.
I found this video to be immediately irrelevant at.03 when I realize the skyline being shown is Cincinnati. EPIC FAIL.
Yikes! You got me there! I can't believe I missed that during the editing process (tho Cincinnati’s skyline does have its charm!) Thanks for the catch-I'll work on my skyline skills for next time! 😅
Lexington is better if given the choice between the 2. I love Louisville, but it is becoming over crowded and crime ridden for the worse.
Thanks for sharing!

Who would ever move to Louisville after the way the authorities treated Scottie Scheffler.
It wasn’t the best moment for our city 😔
Our city is being overrun with foreigners it's becoming a Spanish speaking city, and they are taking all the jobs, I guess we are supposed to happy about this !
Kentucky's transportation costs are higher than the national average for sure.
If you're losing a job to a person that doesn't speak English, you should probably look at yourself before blaming them.

mega high crime rate too.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Louisville has great people what about that? Stop telling others how to be healthy, you aren’t our doctor.

Crime is going down nationwide actually, but thank you!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your feedback!
Are you nuts?
Ah really
Really?.. you are wrong.
I found the Heals up Harris and Tampon Tim supporter.

Just watch Fox 41 news in Louisville every morning there's station downtown
Crime has actually fallen quite a bit in the last few years.

I live downtown. It is not gang infested. You sound like somebody that doesn't get out too much.

A lot of black racists in Louisville
