Newburgh New York Hoods - Small but Dangerous

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Today we are in Newburgh, New York. Newburgh is a small city in New York State located 60 miles north of New York City and 90 miles south of Albany.
Newburgh is a small city of only 28,000 residents, a little less than 5 square miles in size but per capita wise it packs a powerful punch. It has been struggling with crime and other common urban problems for decades. Back in 2012 Neighborhood Scout ranked this tiny town as the 10th worst place to live in the United States and more dangerous than 95% of U.S. cities based on FBI crime Data.
Today we drive through to see if today it fares any better or if things still looking bleak.
Asides from crime and poverty, Newburgh has some good in it's past as this was home to the George Washington led Contintental Army, serving as their headquarters March 1782 until late 1783.

grew up in Newburgh. Class of 84. As someone who still has family there ( I left in 90) I miss Newburgh very much. Yeah it might have gotten run down, Lack of jobs, mismanagement of funds etc,, but I count the days till when I can return. From the outside looking in it's unsafe, but so is the rest of the world. My truest friends in the world live there, my cousins, aunts and uncles. I will always be proud to say I'm from the "Burgh" and am overjoyed when I can go back and kick it with my people. I might not live there anymore, but I visit as much as I can. LONG LIVE MY CITY.
Still looks the same to me we left in 2004. So many memories as a child .
Their cars cost more than their houses.😂
Everyone's on section 8@@internetcensure5849
The fact that my dad always drives through here with me and goes to hang out with his friends when I just asked for McDonald’s😭 like I’m bougie, I don’t feel safe here, I’m too pretty to die😹

Bro saw people at 4:57 was like “oh nah” rolled up his window. 😂
Grew up here , and left in 2004
The city of Newburgh is totally separate from the Town of Newburgh. The problem is the town of Newburgh is often overlooked due to crime in the city of Newburgh. The town of Newburgh enjoys, little crime , many of the residents are college educated and they have a strong presence of active and retired law enforcement living in the Town. The Town of Newburgh is a totally separate municipality than the City of Newburgh.
Which municipality do the police you speak of work for?
Law enforcement seems to be a popular career path for those living in the town of Newburgh. A significant portion of the retired or active police officers in the area previously served with the MTA PD, NYPD, TNPD, or other police departments in PA. In fact, nearly half of the residents in my neighborhood are either currently working or retired from careers in law enforcement. This growing trend of cops relocating to the Town of Newburgh can be partially attributed to many wishing to leave New York City and other jurisdictions due to high taxes and high crime, and liberal policies. Other common professions represented in the community include various city workers, particularly those formerly with the MTA, as well as retired firefighters. In short, those with backgrounds in public safety make up a good portion of the population here.
@redr5868 high taxes you say?
Sweet home, sweet home wow I don't miss it!!!
Good place, good people
I always notice that all these ghettos were once beautiful neighborhoods with beautiful buildings.🤔
Till a certain element moves in.
Look up urban renewal
Where is the area that’s “redone” or gentrified? I read there used to be an area it’s just small. Thanks for any info.
Its a little strip of restaurants along the river and thats about it. One of the main reasons its not being successfully gentrified is there is no commuter rail line from NYC to Newburgh. Look at Beacon right across the river. It was very similar to Newburgh at one time but has been completely gentrified due to it have a metro north stop with direct trains to grand central.
@@rjak292 I didn’t even think about the train lol you’re right. Beacon’s train is right there. It looks you have to take a 30 min ferry ride from Newburgh to Beacon to get back down?
@@vc6218the metro north train is like a 5 minute ride into beacon. It’s not far
@@vc6218 its like a 8 minute ride at most its really not long at all and since you mentioned the waterfront being gentrified they renovated the inside of the ferry too a little lol
@@rjak292 theres been a few other spots especially around NFA main its calmer over there besides what goes on in the high school
😢
Miss Newburgh lowkey
I'll bet it was so pretty once...
Like many rundown places in the US.
Like almost all of USA…
Looks like a place that needs investing
Property values have more than tripled since covid. speculators have bought up the majority of available buildings for a pittance . go to TRULIA real estate site, scroll across the top row until the "more" column, and view the sold section to get a clear picture of what is going on in Newburgh.
The problem is there is no commuter rail line in tha side of the river.
It needs a coat of paint!
It almost had a decent shot at revitalization but dems let progressive come in with all sorts of nonsense that ruined the momentum
