A acre of land might only be a few thousand but your annual property taxes are going to be at least $1,500 a year property taxes are extremely high in the state of Illinois
I would like to make a correction about the land in East St Louis on the MLS there's five pieces of land for sale and according to the MLS the taxes at the highest we're only 300 and some dollars I don't know if that's per year or per 6 months but I think it's a lot lower than what I thought initially
East St Louis had the Stockyards until the early 1970s and steel mills, meatpacking plants and such as well. Tough jobs make tough people. It's been a rough city since the early 1960s but jobs gone now.
East St. Louis does have a large casino that's about the only thing keeping it afloat.The city has the nations highest homicide rate, 18 times the national average.
I used to live in this city in the 80s and early 90s; the problem is that this city is also in an environmental cancer cluster area; many of its residents have died of cancer due to exposure to the various chemical plants on the city’s periphery. The casino 🎰 that’s there in the city barely provides the city any money. In the beginning of this video, the people are driving in East St. Louis’ State Street which used to be a thriving commercial sector. It’s sad to see the neighborhood around that main thoroughfare be devoid of residential structures…..it’s amazing and sad to see all of those brown fields now.
If y'all going to do a thing about East St Louis do the history about East St Louis and St Louis from the beginning of time East Saint Louis has always been set up to go downhill
There are neighborhoods that are much worse in St. Louis, MO... Don't believe the hype of this video. He is searching for negatives but there are great neighborhoods in East St. Louis too.
I’m from St.Louis and have lived in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and now Dallas. None of the bad areas in these cities are anywhere near as bad as the bad areas in St.Louis.
oh sht. thats my old doctors office my grandmother use to take my sister and I to when I was a kid. The doctor was name Doctor Jacob. His office was located on State Street Never forget those days.
You gotta get out to the Delmar Loop and Central West End. Those are beautiful neighborhoods. Clayton and University City are also beautiful inner ring suburbs of St. Louis.
Funny you guys mentioned Akon by chance.He once lived in St Louis Missouri and would commute to Est St Louis Illinois to work with his father.At a school in East Saint.He also lived in ruff parts of New Jersey, Camden I think and in tuff parts of Africa.He said on a Dj Vlad interview that East St Louis is the worst city he has ever seen.LOL my hometown
Dick Durbin you mean. Not Turban. Turban is a head covering warn by Indian Sikhs. Alot of them own and run grocery stores in USA, Canada and the UK. There Hard working Western citizens that contribute well within the USA economy.
While you went to the worst parts of East Saint, you ran several stop signs, while driving in the middle of the streets just to show the poorest areas. A lot of the homes are from allegedly slum lord's like Sieron Fauss, RG realtor, and many which steal the people homes thru highest taxes in the area. They don't fix their homes up when they rent them. Many if them boarded up are from slum lord's who don't stay in the city but in well to do neighborhoods. It's easy to drive and record but next time have pen and paper , take down addresses and find out who the owners or investors are.
East St.Louis is on the Illinois side. St.Louis is in Missouri. People never explain this when they do videos. 2 different cities & states. It’s not a part of St.Louis. I lived in both cities & I felt much safer in E.St.Louis than in St.Louis & St.Louis is my birth city.
I think until the state of Illinois gets a handle on their debt, spending, and high tax rates cities like East St. Louis and Cairo will continue to rot away. Why invest there when other states surrounding it are more financially stable.
Even if Illinois got it together those cities would rot. They became obsolete 50 years ago. They're typical rust belt cities. If they can't reinvent, then they slowly perish.
@@fredicagoillanoise1309 I heard that after four years of being a death trap for kids they finally razed the building. You would think Senator Durbin's church and school would have a better ending.
Glad you were able to film there during the daytime,the city population peaked at 80,000 now at around 18,000.How low can it go!The city had had it's issue with severe race riots,noted for the 1917 East St. Louis Riots,where up to 150 African Americans were lynched,murdered,tortured and forced into burning buildings that left over 6,000 homeless,mostly Southern blacks who moved there looking for a better life to work at the Industrial sites there.Cairo Illinois has had a terrible racist past also.
America, the beautiful. Everywhere in USA you are driving on a beautiful highway and if you turn right or left in about ten minutes you end up in an ugly hood where the poor live....all burn down houses and run down buildings. That is in every city in America.
Hi my name is Cathy I am from east st .Louis I was borned and raised there untill I least was between 5 to 13 years old if not more I just can't remember how old I was when I left there as a child now I am living in Nashville TN every sence I turned 30 years old now I am 58 I would love too go back too easy st.louis mo
The red brick apartments in East Saint Louis was my first apartment I'm from Atlanta Georgia but I grew up in East Saint Louis metro east that's were I won u and I at on the streets not in prison they know always been standing front in center never running are hiding but im not perfect
Don’t be deceived by the downtown skyline in St. Louis. The majority of those offices are vacant. I’ve been in many of them as a window washer. Our grandparents fled inner city problems to build suburbs in the 1960s and 70s. It was easier to leave. Businesses, along with revenue followed. The arch was actually a last ditch effort to make something of a blighted area.
I've traveled the world and spent years traveling in The US for my job. St. Louis is by far one of the most dangerous places I've visited and have had my life threatened there multiple times while minding my own business. Great video. Subbed you...
They are projects. We don't have apartments in East St Louis. Next time you drive through the city recording you should stop and ask for a tour guide. I'm from the city, and some of the places you were at are very dangerous. You should keep that in mind whenever you call yourself making a RUclips video. Because some places are unforgivable.
Man get out my hood with all your negative thinking. I was raised up in E. St. Louis, IL and was born in St. Louis. It's always someone who's trying to understand someone else's hood. Drive down up in the actual good areas like 29th and Louisiana Blvd. Don't be downing my hood bro.
It's parts of West Side Chicago that makes East Boogie look like the Taj Mahal and much safer. You cannot always go how a city looks. My neighborhood South Shore Chicago looks like a regular clean nice area but you would DIE there if you don't know where the fuck you going. I've been to The Boogie many times and NEVER had problems with ANYONE!
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS some and I cannot deny but again, I know this city: I was born and raised here and still own property here, so no, the plight of STL is terrible
East St Louis is a nice place to.live.every city has a bad hood..every city has violence...It's what the ppl make out of it..putting in the right leader's...That's my comment
I grew up in Cahokia IL and grandma told me to stay out of East St Louis Illinois or she was going to kill me. I never entered ESL IL because my grandma was mean. Years went by and i came back home to St Louis and i got a job in East St Louis Illinois as an armed security officer that was fun . When there was fire i was going to look outside but the black guards was like where are you going. They told me don't go outside for at least 20 minutes because it's not over the bullets were hitting the sheet metal and then a car full of kats in it with choppers drove by. The car came 5 minutes after the first fire . That was so much fun that was 1991 & 1992 Working in East St Louis Illinois was like being in the country of Djibouti in Africa So much fun 🎢🎪🎆🎇🧨🎆🎇🧨🎆🎇🧨🎆🧨🎆🎇🧨🎆🎇🧨 Dexter Lombardo 🤠🧔

East St. Louis Is Not St.Louis!!!
Bro doesn't want to be associated with like the worst place in the U.S. LOL, sorry but it is.

If you have to depend on a casino.for your economic future youre truly in trouble

Exactly! St. Louis has bad areas as well. Don't just show the bad, show the good also. Everywhere in the USA have good and bad areas.
I’m from St.Louis and have lived in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and now Dallas. None of the bad areas in these cities are anywhere near as bad as the bad areas in St.Louis.
oh sht. thats my old doctors office my grandmother use to take my sister and I to when I was a kid. The doctor was name Doctor Jacob. His office was located on State Street Never forget those days.
East St. Louis has been slowly decaying since the mid 70's!
Got to go to Pontoon Beach and Pocahontas Illinois you do go videos i would love to see ones on those truth
You gotta get out to the Delmar Loop and Central West End. Those are beautiful neighborhoods. Clayton and University City are also beautiful inner ring suburbs of St. Louis.
This year they Have the Loopalicous going on in Delmar Loop
I feel more safe in East St. Louis than I. Most areas of st louis
I wanna move to east St Louis for some odd reason.
yea same here
Actually you don't, but that's funny.
Me too
No you don't

The only hope is private investment. If citizens do not want to invest then it will not get done. Government funding always runs out in the end.
My point!!!!!
Senator Turban is from East St Louis Illinois. He is a product of Georgetown University.
Dick Durbin you mean. Not Turban. Turban is a head covering warn by Indian Sikhs. Alot of them own and run grocery stores in USA, Canada and the UK. There Hard working Western citizens that contribute well within the USA economy.
Senator Turban is a Roman Catholic that supports the destruction of Israel.
He has done wonders for East St Louis Illinois too.

I heard about Sieron... They were crooks. Their headquarters are located in the neighborhood where a lot of my family lived.

They dont want you 2 buy properties this is a zone for some reason that they keep people's lives in a torture places like these are just 4 tourists.

Nothing like it on the west coast anywhere, I wouldn’t slow down under 40 in East St. Louis. Ick.
2:50 The 700 block of North 23rd is where I grew up in the 1950's. I use to ride my bike to St Elizabeth's. Life was very good.
St. Elizabeth's suffered a devastating fire a few years ago.

I used to stay in East Saint Louis for 41 years and you don't show people when the city was beautiful. It was way better than this video

You'd lose $20mm. There isn't enough infrastructure/businesses to support.
Compared to L.A. or N.Y. this isn't like over there.

there is no music or art scene, not even a general workforce, just floating shopping bags and other forms of trash.
