Yall saying "he is not even from here" GLAD not to be from here you ought be ashamed of being from this embarrassing racist place. your proud to be from a racist segregated place???? its embarassing. I am proud to be from CUBA a tropical island with our own music and food and culture. I am proud to be raised in Naples Florida, the richest place in USA.. but Montgomery or Alabama? no thanks. The people I met, are embarrassing. Racist, corrupt, hateful.. the W hate the B but go lick them when they get hook on crack and aint got $5 for it.
Are you smart? Because Florida is notorious for their racialized killing and police brutality. Florida is literally a cess pool of racist white people. You live in Naples because your ancestors were colonizers. It’s one thing to name the violence in a place but what you did wasn’t there. You wanted this reactions tho. You’re clearly racist at heart. You live in a stand your ground state where cops routinely abuse the law. You are a sad little man. And delusional about the place you were raised and grew up in.
@@RUclipsmusings most racist whites left Florida a long time ago 🤣🤣🤣 they cant win here. The ones left are decent and the ones moving here will learn as well. Dont have on white florida man
I have been to Naples many times as a kid and beat up on Naples high in football. Be from Collier doesn't mean you got bread, you probably from the outskirts, Eustis, FL. Heck Naples is a snobby, racists city. Take your green card ass back. You probably swim over here. Perpetrating like you some type of Big shot, broke ass wannabe RUclips channel sensation, not going to happen
As a person born and raised in Montgomery, AL, the you Sir are misinformed, biased, and slanderous. The city is in decline and there are dangerous areas for sure, but this video is a very poor representation of my home town. We aren't hillbillies, inbred, gang members, or lazy. I was a teen during the height of the crack epidemic. This is when the decline began, yet my city produced doctors, nurses, architects, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, engineers, chefs, and almost any other professional you can imagine. Montgomery, despite its many deficits, produces more success stories than tragedies. If you're going to tell our story, please tell it in its entirety.
Agreed that Montgomery has produced many successful people and artists. From Nat King Cole to Tommy Shaw, Montgomery has always been a hotbed of talent. But in order to become successful, you have to get the hell away from Montgomery. The man is not misinformed. He lived here for a year. It only takes a couple of weeks in Montgomery for the truth to slap you into reality.
This is a very poor presentation of the city of Montgomery. If you are looking to move here for any reason please don’t allow this man’s pure ignorance sway your decision. Do real research.
Yeah, if you're black it will be an all day partay. Montgomery, because of blacks, has become a fucking CESSPOOL. I did 50 years of 'research'. But I'll cut you some slack. Were it not for the cheap prices as compared to the rest of the country, the dregs of society probably wouldn't have moved here. But they DID. And what they've done to my hometown is unforgivable.
I have lived in Montgomery for more than 40 years, mostly in Midtown, and I have never once been a victim of crime or been chased by people with or without guns or witnessed violence of any kind. Also, it is blatantly false that some of these areas that were said to be violent and ghost towns after dark. it is not a war zone, most of the violence is domestic it's not random people walking down the street
@@leepo007It Could be true I just seen a guy said the same thing about Mobile. In Alabama most of the people know who they are targeting it's not just random in most cities there. Unless you are a girl walking alone at night but that will happy anywhere & they shouldn't be out alone at night
@@jefferyyounce5372 How is it going for you? I recently visited and really liked it. Are there areas you like for home-buying? I'm on a low budget and looking for a very small home. Any insight you might have is appreciated. Thank you.
I have lived in Montgomery my whole life and I'm offended by this video. No it's not perfect but for every negative thing he had to say there are at least 2 to 3 positive things about Montgomery. He makes it seem as though you need a secret service detail to come Herr. That's not the the case. In the areas of the video, there are very good people that didn't receive what they rightfully deserve. Buy like any city, some places have a low tolerance people that start problems. That being said, Montgomery is a wonderful place to live and has many great opportunities to offer. Please visit my hometown and see how much different it is from this video.
Actually you do need security if your hispanic you people think your a pinata if you hispanic with your racist selfs. Dont go to war with eachother out of fear but pick on hispanics and koreans cuz your cowardly ways
I've lived in Montgomery for 22 years. This dude is ignorant or purposely wanted to paint a negative picture. Every city that I've been too has some bad areas. Montgomery definitely has some bad areas. It also has some very awesome areas. He went over to Millbrook but didn't show all the growth in Pike Road that is one of fastest growing in the Nation. The East Side of Montgomery and the Downtown areas are now the growing areas and have been for over 15 years. He shows a bunch of rundown areas but didn't show the 5k Sq ft houses that can be purchased for 650k as opposed to price for same on the East or West Coast.
Pike road fastest in the nation 😅😭😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 yeah fleeing montgomery is the fastest thing happening in the nation you people down there are so slow its funny. You need to go to Orlando florida to see fast growing areas.. they have built houses for 500,000 people in the last 3 years. Pike road 😅😅😅😅😅😅😭😭😅🤣🤣🤣 there are single communities in orlando larger than the entire city of montgomery
"This dude is ignorant or purposely wanted to paint a negative picture." He's not ignorant just because you don't want to face the truth. The videos don't lie. And yes, he made the video specifically to show people what they're going to be living around if they move to Montgomery. That was his whole point. It was a warning.
@@killmenow6663 he is a fuc king idiot. The video is dumb af. “There are no neighborhoods in Montgomery” lol….sftu seriously? Wow. If you think that Montgomery doesn’t have defined neighborhoods then you’re an absolute moron. Imagine mailing a letter to “north Montgomery”.
@@killmenow6663 Well, I don't live around that. And...last I checked, I know better. This guy is obviously in a different tax bracket. You get what you can afford. That's true for ANYWHERE
You are out of bounds. You don't know enough about the city or it's people. You only lived there for 1 damn year! Crime is everywhere... especially in urban areas. The areas that are high in crime are that way because of the conditions. You talk about racist... systematic racism is the main factor behind what is going on. Where do you get off calling the people, hateful and lazy? You can't generalize everyone due to the actions of a few. The city has close to 200k residents and all of them are not lazy, violent, etc. If you aren't doing anything to help, what is your purpose? Is all this for views? Cover middle and upper middle class sections of the city. Stop exploiting Montgomery and any other place you supposedly "cover". Find you something else to do.
He talks about racism, we'll we just bought a very nice 5k square ft mansion from a wonderful, well-educated Black lady. We love the folks, Black N White in Montgomery. Our realtor is Black and became a great friend of ours.

This video is VERY misleading. There are 200,000 residents in Montgomery, Alabama....the number of people, who live in the neighborhoods, shown on the video COMBINED is less than 3000 people. So, how does it look in the neighborhoods that the "other" 170,000 people live ? It looks very nice. Please take the time to view neighborhoods such as Deer Creek, Brekenridge, Monticello Cove, Wynlakes, Sturbridge, Stoneybrooke, Fox Hollow, New Park, Tuscany, Ryan Ridege......ALL BEAUTIFUL neighborhoods that most of the 170, 000 "other" Montgomerians live. When you tried to steer Maxwell Airforce Base workers/ Airmen & Women to Prattville, Alabama.....when you could have easily mentioned the beautiful Dalraida neighborhood, located right outside of the Maxwell- Gunter back gate, I found that to be VERY missleading. When you steer people to Prattville, Alabama...to live ..please advise how overcrowded that city is..... please tell the people that Prattville, Alabama has a high rate of pedophiles in the city....one old man ( Mr. George)was just sentenced to 150 years for more than 70 charges of pedophilia,in Prattville, Alabama. That city is not safe for children. A school teacher, was recently arrested there for sexual assault of a minor. When you talk about Montgomery Public Schools, as you talk negatively....please add this caveat : But, the #1 ranked school in Alabama is in the City of Montgomery, Alabama ( LAMP School)....an MPS school. Tell the people that the #14 ranked school, in the Nation, is part of the Montgomery Public School system ( Booker T. Washington). If you want a lot of views....make a video of the 10 nicest neighborhoods in Montgomery, Alabama. You said that you bought a house in Montgomery, Alabama....flipped it & gained a significant return on the investment (double). That is wonderful...but , what part of that statement is supposed to hurt Montgomery, Alabama? Being able to flip a house for a 100% return on investment is EVERY investors desire. It shows that there is PLENTY of growth in Montgomery, Alabama.
@@ARenae-vo4ch they're probably trying to 'help out' the people of Prattville who moved there from Montgomery to get away from this crap. When whites move en masse to escape black crime, the blacks always want to follow them. Maybe the cops are trying to prevent that. Look, you've destroyed Montgomery. This is what you've made it. Stay there and let the rest live in peace!
All that you say is irrelevant to the video's intent. You're making a simple message into a very complex send up for all the things you like about Montgomery, and if anything you want mentioned isn't included, you dismiss the entire thing, and question his motives. That was NOT the point of the video.
I've lived in 6 different states. Trust me, Montgomery is not as bad as similar cities that I've lived in that are the same size. Also, if you learn to mind your business, you won't get caught up in drama and can move about accordingly.
This can't be real. I was going to leave a simple comment laughing at the fact that you claimed Montgomery is a place you can easily make a lot of money in. Then I saw that nice little comment that your significant other seems to have left for the people that dared to do something as crazy as ~taking offense to someone talking bad about their home~. So now let me offer the two of you a little bit of constructive criticism instead. You two are what we call "content creators". That means you provide value to people through the content (videos) you create, and share with the public. Once you've uploaded a video, the most important thing you should be seeking is engagement, and retainment of viewers and commenters. Knowing this, it becomes obvious that you should remain neutral and facilitate further discussion in the comments. This gives you a higher chance of both fostering greater engagement, and potentially retaining a viewer/commenter. A good example is myself finding this video almost a year after it was uploaded and choosing to leave a comment, which could've been potentially followed up by subscribing to the channel. What you should NEVER do, is sit here and leave some paragraph that looks like it was written by a child, seeking to shame the exact audience you're wanting further engagement from. It's a waste of time, it hurts your growth potential, and it makes you seem childish and immature, which are two traits most people don't want to be associated with their brand. If you don't think people take notice of that kind of stuff, think again. Furthermore, if you're going to try and shame people just because of where they were born, you probably shouldn't immediately follow that up with proudly claiming you're from Cuba, seeing as that is one of the few places on Earth that can make even a shithole like Montgomery look like a decent place to live.
Im from Montgomery born and raised I currently live in Atlanta. Montgomery is a church compared to the crime up here..the city has changed but not all of Montgomery is bad
I go to atlanta all the time. From cummings to college park to northside to all over. Wont cafch me in montgomery again. Atlanta is an international city of commerce while montogmery is on food stamsp
I lived in Montgomery for 50 years, then moved to Dacula, just north of you. If you haven't been to the Gump in a few years, you might want to visit to see how much it's changed over the last 9 or 10 years. It may not be as bad as Atlanta yet, but it's no church. I used to live in Old Cloverdale. A couple of years ago, gang member thugs had a machine gun battle on the street in front of the Capri, not a half mile from my old house. It's changed, big time.
This is really… mean spirited. I’ve lived in Montgomery my whole life. Not my favorite place but it’s not this warzone. My boyfriend lives right off Perry Hill and I’m leaving there at 2 or 3 am and it’s not dangerous at all. There are barely any other cars. Plus I work at Baptist South. Southern Blvd isn’t too bad either. Like I said Montgomery isn’t my favorite place but it’s alright. A medium place to live.
Yeah, this guy is an idiot. He goes into the worse areas of a city and buys houses to rent slumlord style and then complains about the people he is dealing with. This man said "I worked in these neighborhoods when I lived in Montgomery". Only a slumlord would buy/work with real estate in those areas. Smh
I’ve been living in Montgomery all my life. Born & raised & yet i agree with everything that was said in this video. Its fucking miserable here, literally! There’s barely any activities, trash schools, horrid crime rates, etc…The only thing good i can say about my city is that the housing is very affordable, great food, and nice people (from my experience) other then that, I wouldn’t advise anyone young or with children to move here. Save your time and money, move elsewhere. I’m 19 years old, and every adult I’ve encountered in my life has told me to get out because Montgomery has NOTHING. Hell, even my own teachers. I’m planning on moving to North Carolina once i turn 21. I’ve been saving up, hopefully my plans go well!
What you're learning, inadvertenly, is why the white people that built that place entirely wanted to keep you out. You're learning why, in real time, why there was redlining and Jim Crow. Because that's what you people do everywhere you go. Everywhere.
Born raise Montgomery! Live NC. NC got it going on. Stay from Durham. Charlotte to Expensive. Move to Clayton, Raleigh, Gardner, Morrisville. Good Luck!

I lived in Montgomery from 1989-1994, when the demographics were rapidly changing. Lived on the southeast side off Virginia Loop Road and Troy Highway. Our house got broken into 4 different times successfully, a few other unsuccessful attempts. Montgomery Mall had a shooting near the food court, downright scary. South Boulevard or the Southern Bypass, down to Troy Highway, is the worst area. The west side Fairview Avenue west of I-65 is also very rough. Taylor Road is where most of the middle and upper class live now. I can say that for the most part, I hated living there. The other retail shopping mall in town Eastdale Mall, is all but dead. I was delighted to leave, and that was 28 years ago.
It’s changed a good bit since I lived there. Born & raised most my life there. But still wasn’t the safest in certain areas. Went to Capital Heights 7th-9th grade & grew up near the coliseum & near Morningview Elementary. And it wasn’t a bad place to grow up. My family moved us to Prattville before I started 10th grade where I would have been going to Robert E Lee. Great decision none the less. Love the Prattville area. Now live in Georgia outside Savannah. But never forget my roots of the Gump! 😅
Prattville is nice. its grown alot. my hill billy neighbors would talk about how much they hated prattville because their "poop dont stank" in them fancy new houses they building! LOL - we actually did several drive around videos in prattville.
My man you just gave us a description of A KKK family...you move to Prattville. First of all Prattville is confederate city. Its nothing to brag about. Robert E Lee was A general that served in the confederate Military...so you left A black school that you say was not that bad then you went to Robert Lee which was better...bill gallaspy jr Been the mayor there since 2011. Bill gallaspy was the name of the chief in heat of the night..A cop from Mississippi which was also connected to the confederate war...come on my man lets stop playing. You dudes is basically trying to say the black areas is bad...so stop please..you cannot put make up on a pig and claim its a woman. We know the difference..so stop hanging in the hood stay in the prattville Area. Leave the black area's along if you think its bad.
@@williefrankcollection9437 bruh what?!? Why does everything have to be race man? KKK? Really? We moved to Prattville first and foremost cause that’s where my old man and the rest of his family lived. It’s literally 20-30 min up the interstate so not that big of a transition so no idea where you’re getting this shit. I’m not trashing Montgomery, I’m stating I grew up there and moved. Simple as that, once again someone turning the narrative to fit race baiting

Millbrook isn’t a suburb of Montgomery… it’s in an entirely different county. You’re also mixing the city of Montgomery and Montgomery county. Also the reason why Montgomery is so “affordable” is because no one wants to be here. Supply and demand.
Yes, Millbrook is across the river from Montgomery. Millbrook was formerly a heavily Creek Indian land. The Red Stick Creek chief William Weatherford, who surrendered to Andrew Jackson, was from Coosada, next to Millbrook. Also the man who became the Seminole warrior Osceola was from there.
He obviously doesn’t know demographics. Millbrook isn’t a suburb of Montgomery. That wasn’t sandtown…and 99% of violent crime Millbrook has is people coming from Montgomery.
It's called the "Tri-Country Area", meaning Autauga, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties. So, yes, Millbrook is a suburb of Montgomery. So are Prattville and Wetumpka.
So far, in April 2023, there have been 28 murders in Montgomery. That means that Montgomery is on pace for 90 murders in 2023. All black-on-black murders.
U need to do better research or try talking to people that live in or have lived in that state before during a video on any city & learn not to group all people together.
I dont understand the comments..mostly everything he's saying is accurate..born and raised in Montgomery..I hear gunshots every single night..lost MULTIPLE friends due to gun violence and almost lost my life MULTIPLE TIMES, robbed numerous times..home broken into cars broken into etc..and I'm on the southside..I've lived in all over the south in MANY states and have NEVER felt more unsafe..looking forward to moving away soon..
Thats Montgomery people for ya, they wanna call you a lier despite the fact your saying pure facts. now imagine being latino here where everyone wants to rob you and prey on you because they know the cops wont protect you. hell naw get yourself outta there.

This has to be the most uninformed thing I’ve ever seen. Like others have said, there are bad parts of town in any town and you also bring up places that are not even in the same county. You also call Perry hill road a neighborhood, that’s a damn road with multiple, completely defined neighborhoods on it. You really need to be much more informed before putting something out like this.
I was born and raised in the Gump on the northside in Sheridan heights. This man is correct! Fuck that place! I left there in the early 2000s and never going back! Not even to funerals.
Your comments about public housing residents are unfair and biased. All People living in public housing are not lazy or looking for a handout. That’s when I lost interest. Never make generalizations about people.
Facts these ppl think it's a joke it's the country they live by different standards the shid ppl pull off in east coast cities etc u would get demolisbed in the south for disrespect. N ya word is ya bond. N they reap fr like they life depend on it
Born and raised in Montgomery. Spent 32 years there. Grew up next to Gunter AFB(now Maxwell AFB Gunter Annex). Rode my bike to Dalraida Elementary and Goodwyn JHS. We never locked our doors. I was always the first one home in the afternoon after school and I would walk right in the door without a key. I still have family and friends there though fewer with time. If I have to visit then I’m ALWAYS packing heat. Montgomery is a total and complete shithole....Eastside and all. If you are Air Force getting transferred there then you need to find a way to get discharged from service. I promise you will not be putting your kids in Montgomery’s public school system. It is a mirror image of the morally and culturally bankrupt city itself.
I rode my bike to Dalraida and walked to Goodwyn since it was so close to Bellehurst. Back in the late 90s it was an awesome way to live your childhood. All we had to fear was the hoodlums from Boyston. But the dangers of living in a Montgomery where gunfire is common... that shit is fucked up.

Most accurate video on 2020’s Montgomery I’ve seen in a long time. Lived there for 48 years until the crime drove us out. Montgomery has tons of money but the violent and propert crime is terrible. Govt officials do nothing. I know and lived it.
Oh, the police do something: they sit behind bushes in every neighborhood in the town with radar guns, so they can extract fines from citizens, while the thugs rob their houses while they're at work, or driving home.
@@sosa-7312 He painting Montgomery as something it's not. Montgomery is not a poor city at all. It's not rich either, but Mobile and Montgomery's poverty rates are actually very similar.
Carver high school has produced dozens of successful children and young adults! Your not from here I’ve lived here forever never went to a school without air conditioning 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what are you talking about I’ve been laughing the whole video
Actually chicagos murder rate is lower!! 😅😅 so yes it is worst. Chicago and detroit are amazing cities cant wait to go back! Good food, diversity and great opportunities! And they are not racist inbreed cousin loving bedbug infested envious turds like alabama
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you clearly havnt spent enough time in Montgomery if you think Chicago is better. I've lived here for 20 years and I've never felt unsafe or like I was going ti be murdered. It's only if you hang around the wrong people that get you in got water. Maybe visit Vaughn road or coliseum because clearly u lived in the rough parts of town
The crime is every where. If people live out east there's crime there too. A lot of it is hidden but it's going on. Every city in the nation is experiencing higher than normal rates. No area is better than another as long as people and problems exist.
I think the commentator was very specific. He was talking about “murder rates” not the crime rate. We know crime is everywhere regardless of your neighborhood; but to be murdered on the street of your neighborhood is very different. There is no excuse for that. Parents are. feeding and providing shelter for the very people that are terrorizing their community. Report those jokers to the authorities even if they are your kids or other relatives.
Yes a lot of this information is completely false and misleading. For one crime is isolated to specific neighborhoods and areas. Neighborhood boundaries are clearly defined. He even makes mention of a neighborhood being good for drive by shootings which never happen. As a business owner and investor in the community this information needs to be adjusted. Especially the school system which was voted most improved the last 3 years and has 2 of the top 5 schools in the state. I could go on but the facts aren’t as important as the click
Some topics talked about in this video I can agree with but some info sound biases. The stuff that go on here is happening EVERYWHERE! But everyone is entitled to their opinion 🤷🏾♀️
I was born in Montgomery in 1955. I'm the youngest of 12 children. My parents had about 65 grandchildren. To my knowledge, out of all those relatives, only one sister and one nephew still live in the city. Most of those who still live in the area have moved to outlying towns 10-20 miles away. They did so to escape the crime and to send their kids to decent schools.
Montgomery has the number one school, the number 7 school, and the number 19 school all are high schools in the state Alabama. In addition loveless academic magnet School is in the same neighborhood that this guy's actually filming. It is the number five in the country, and normally ranks anywhere between five and number one in the country. I know two kids went to Stanford university full scholarship, 32 kids went to Alabama last year 35 with the Auburn on full scholarships I know a few went to michigan, a few went to Harvard , a few went to Yale, and many more schools. The School is nationally known throughout the country. In fact, at the University of Michigan the young lady that's from Montgomery is the first female and Black to get a PhD in robotics from the University of Michigan and from any school in the country. So a bunch of that video is bullshit. I went to college with two twin sisters who are district court judges in Birmingham who are ASU Alumni
@@jpitt5355 it's not bullshit if you watched the video. Saying that this is bullshit rather than saying the whole town isn't like this are two different things. You're denying that any of this exists. YOU are being disengenuous. You know it's true. The man had a purpose in filming it. He wanted to show the less than awesome things all around this town. If what you saw offends you, maybe you should become a community organizer and work to fix what you don't like.
@@killmenow6663 According to this video I should be afraid to go out after dark and be in complete fear in all the neighborhoods that he mentioned and that is bullshit
He just focused on 1 part of Montgomery, not the entire Montgomery County. You have people from surrounding areas that's so scared to live in Montgomery but they come and work in Montgomery everyday from Prattville, Wetumpka, Millbrook, and even Georgia but yet without Montgomery they wouldnt even have a high paying job.
We have done like 10 videos like this for many towns. Tampa, miami, orlando, bham, montgomery and other cities in the south. So i guess our agenda is to show the worst hoods in every town???

Hey, native resident here. I admit everything you are saying about this stupid place. It's so ghetto and dangerous that even the COPS are ghetto. My mom works at (Not naming anything.) division for the police department. They recently got radios that the cops use, and she brought it home with us. Me and my brother always listen to the cops talk to hear what's going on, and it's a disaster. Dispatch: Unit whoever, respond to this call here. Cop: Unit whoever is on a shooting call right now. Dispatch: i KNOW dat. With the ghettoest attitude ever. We also heard a cop say something and not let go of the transmit button in time, and ghettoly said "da F word?" With an emphasized U, and a hard Q.
I’ve never visited Alabama and can’t vouch for the people or places there. It’s just very upsetting how disrespectful you were towards the people who live there & in the comments. I understand that this is your video and you have the right to say what you please but this was ridiculous. SMH just because people live below the poverty line doesn’t give you the right to denigrate them.
you have the brain of an inbreed squirrel. Your defending what those racist backwards hicks and thugs did to me, and upset that I have an opinion about it? my words are not disrespectful.. what they did to me.. that was disrespectful. were poor here too, but were not dirty racist inbreeds. you move to alabama as an outsider and see how they treat you. for a fact looking at your cover photo you couldnt go to the street i lived on after dark, those are the people you are defending sir?
I have lived in Montgomery since 96 and I am not afraid to go out at night even though according to you I should be. Yes we have crime but I don't know a city anywhere that doesn't. I have friends that live in several of the neighborhoods that you mentioned and as a white female I have no problem entering these neighborhoods at night alone or going shopping anywhere at night alone. Oh and out of the five Walmarts that we have not a single one of them are planning to close for any reason. I went to Capitol Heights Junior High and Lee High School and was not in fear daily. Yes we have some old neighborhoods that haven't been kept up as they should have but what city doesn’t??
This dude is a white supremacist LatinX immigrant who doesn’t like black Americans (descendants of USA chattel slavery) he purposely goes to the low income part of black cities and never go to the black middle class/upper class areas, this taco deplorable went to black wealth Atlanta (which consist of MAJORITY BLACK WEALTH SUBURBS) and he went to the handful of low income/working class black neighborhoods 🥴🥴
I lived in Montgomery for 13 years, and it is by far the most dangerous place I have ever lived. If you were rolling through those neighborhoods, at night, alone, you just got lucky is all. I was always armed. I never witnessed so much crime in my life. Every building that I ever worked in over the 13 years had bullet holes. I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not. I live a quiet, boring life. I only knew one person that had been shot at, ever, before moving there. Now I know a lot of people who have been shot at. I was so glad to move away!
@user-ew9du5eg6g so according to you the only way I survived going into those neighborhoods at night and/or alone was because I got lucky? So I guess I was just lucky on a regular basis because I am not talking about once or twice at some points it was on a weekly basis (at least). I worked in one of the areas that he talks about so it was on a daily basis and at times was the only one in the office and never had any problems. In fact I had several people that would stop by just to talk....not a single one of them ever pulled a gun on me or robbed me or even threatened me! If that was all because I was lucky well damn I must be one lucky ass person! I wish!
That's not right either. The actual city as of 2022 has nearly 202k people. The metro area has over 386,000 as of the 2020 census. The 360k is probably population estimates.
😅😅😅😅🤣🤣😅😅 there might he 360,000 collecting food stamps but the population is 200,000 and every year thousands are leaving thats why Huntsville is Alabama’s largest city now
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS The population loss was not as severe as thought. The population from 2010 to 2020 dropped 5,161. The population totals after 2020 have to population increasing for some reason. Mobile lost nearly 8,000. Birmingham lost nearly 12,000. Now Birmingham's population is only 130 more than Montgomery.
You were only scared bc you see ppl who get made look bad on the internet if you know how to act right you shouldn’t be scared people gonna treat yo ass with respect and they gonna respect yo ass back you def disrespected ppl🤣
It's evident that everyone has had different experiences. Now what you said about the schools were kinda true 😂 They were trying to bake us in classes cant lie 😂 But you've only been here for a year..maybe staying a little longer and ACTUALLY getting more accurate accusations. Some comments were biased and disrespectful but everything else was pretty accurate especially since the pricing for living is expensive
What the hell would i stay in a SHITHOLE like this any longer? are you serious? FOR WHAT? to lie or catch bed bugs? why on earth would you stay in a place that miserable for.. why prolong suffering?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS what the hell is it with you and talking about bed bugs?? Either you had bed bugs or you climbed in other people's beds that had bed bugs. To say Montgomery is full of bed bugs is a completely stupid, untrue, and immature comment! So since you have made multiple comments about Montgomery and bed bugs the questions become did you bring them with you or were you being trashy and bed jumping with some not so clean people??
I agree with you. I've lived in Montgomery al my life 64 years and it has really gone down. My neighborhood of Highland ave is improving due to people buying houses and living there. When a neighborhood becomes more rental it goes down because of slum lords. I have a petition going around now asking our city to hold landlords accountable for what goes on at their rentals.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS actually its a little less than last year at this time. I've kept up with the numbers because I have my opinion of why it drastically increased 2 years ago. I have a chart with dates and activities and homicide numbers that proves it. Our city has a up coming program to lessen the panhandling and like i said I have a petition going around for all of Montgomery to hold landlords accountable to addressing and correcting violations going on at their property. If anyone reading this is interested in signing it just let me know. It takes people getting involved and being a voice that changes things. It starts being involved on your street then your neighborhood then your city.
@@kathrynnard8059 i started by leaving Montgomery. Theres a reason the population is going backwards instead of growing. This city is so hateful it would rather lose people and suffer than be welcoming.
It didn't, but it's called the Tri-County area, Autauga, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties, so Millbrook is a suburb of Montgomery, as are Prattville and Wetumpka. Pelham and Helena are in a different county from Birmingham; they didn't leave Shelby County, but they are suburbs of Birmingham. Metro areas can take up more than one county (or parish if you're in Louisiana).
If your going to talk about the city do that but don’t talk about the people here are sorry or are on food stamps you don’t know how nobody eating. Should not matter to you period. Glad you moved.
@@solidbby3342according to him all of the people living in Montgomery are lazy and refuse to work and are on food stamps....oh also he keeps talking about bed bugs in his comments when referring to Montgomery and anyone with common sense knows that is strictly a individual household issue not a city or even neighborhood issue. It does make it wonder though if he doesn't deal with bed bugs on a regular basis because I have never heard someone bring them up as much as he does and never heard them used as a generalized insult towards an entire city! Also, he is constantly calling people in Montgomery dumb or stupid while literally spelling 3 out of 5 words wrong, using the wrong words in sentences, and literally using insults that you would typically hear 1st or 2nd graders use. It's really nice that someone helped him post videos online! I love the programs that give the "special" people that have a low IQ a smart buddy to help them do things that they can't figure out! His buddy really needs to monitor his comments though because he's going to dig himself a hole that he can't get out of!
You completely overlooked Gibbs Village,Chisholm,redline apartments…but dude it’s not that bad,and maybe a few people are lazy but dude most of them are hard working people..not everybody can find a job that pays well
I’ve been all over this world and some bad places too but I would never disrespect or cast wide nets about the population like you. I can’t see the video because the insults are too over the top.
I am born and raised in Montgomery. Lived in multiple states. We have our issues but you are being a bit racist and glossing over the better areas. I personally live in Highland Gardens and it is declining quickly. Millbrook has a couple of pocket areas but mostly a really goid area.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Im just seeing this but you clearly have a problem. There are Plenty of embarrassing areas in FL that can be pointed out. Seek professional help RUclipsr. Im not sure if you know this or not but racist people live in FL too FOOL.
Montgomery is a typical dem run city (mayor, police chief, fire chief, school superintendent, etc,) with near 70 % dem constituency based on typical voting patterns. Of the 80-plus murders in 2021, almost all, if not all, were black on black. The public school system (with the exception of a few magnet schools) is deplorable, as is the landscape shown in the videos. However, the old sociological term "white flight" has taken on a new, more inclusive identity which includes families of all races wanting to get the hell away from the pervasive insanity that plagues this town. However, SL's comment that people from Montgomery should be ashamed of being from a "racist place" is akin to someone suggesting that he should be ashamed of being from a communist country. Just because someone happens to be from a particular place is not indicative of that person's full agreement with the goings on in that region. Much like SL expressed pride for being raised in a wealthy part of the U.S, I express my pride of having lived in Montgomery for several years. It was, at one time, a safe place to call home. Moreover, I express even more gratitude for having made the decision to get the hell out!
i lived in republican outskirts, and they were some miserable meth outed, food stamp having, bed bug infested turds as well. PLENTY of trashy red too. so dont blame it on politics..
The area on Ann Street right off of I-85 is also very rough. You're Southern Bypass part is spot on. I went through part of there earlier today, and the homes are very run down, parking lots that were once grocery stores are desolate and deserted. One building was collapsed. I want to say that this guy is exactly right about Alabama's capital city. 30 years, we were at Montgomery Mall, and eating dinner at the food court and a shooting broke out, and it was very scary. The people I know who live there have had similar experiences. When I lived there, in addition to being broken into 4 times, successfully, several other times, unsuccessfully, We saw 4 or 5 police cars pull out right outside our kitchen window and watched, as we were eating supper. A drunk driver shined his head lights right into my brother's bedroom in the middle of the night. People were outside another time in the middle of the night, and were about to fight, and the police came and had to separate them. Kids from a nearby elementary school walked through our yard, turned on our water hose, and you see many gas stations with bars on the windows to keep burglars out. I know someone else who lived in the Dalraida hood and she said crime was very rampant. Some others we knew had to get guard dogs outside their house, because the same thing happened to them, their home was broken into, and several things were stolen. Except for the far east side, Montgomery should be avoided. It's sad how things have gotten, as Montgomery didn't use to be like how he's describing it. 20 years ago, I talked to someone else I knew there, and she said about Montgomery Mall, "you don't dare go there at night". All these other comments stating that Montgomery is not how he's describing it, are DEAD, TOTALLY WRONG.
I have lived in some of these neighborhoods. And it's nowhere near as bad as it's depicted in this video. And what people are starving here? I've went to the schools here and so have my kids I've never seen windows blown out. And yes it's illegal to point a gun at someone here it's called menacing and they lock your tail up.
You know the old saying “a hit dog will holler”? If you’re offended by the truth of this video and think Montgomery is *not that bad* you’re probably contributing to all of the ways this place sucks so much.
The people defending this place, I'm sure they are not from Montgomery! They might live there but they are not from there! That place is everything you described and more! Main reason I left that slum ass town!
He's over exaggerating a bit. I'm not going to act like a saint town but to say that if you sit down to eat you have to duck and hide behind cars just to eat is a little outrageous
That was sooooo outrageous, I’ve been in Montgomery all of my life and I have never had to dodge bullets eating outside or inside a restaurant nor my neighborhood!!! He’s to extra and misinformed for me loll
I actually wanted to say that Montgomery surprised me with what I’ve seen so far. I’m actually considering moving here now. My parents live here and for the life of me I couldn’t understand why they loved it here and why they had no desire to leave until I visited. To be fair, I have literally only seen their neighborhood and a few surrounding blocks, as well as the drive from here (a housing community called Wynlakes or something) to Wetumpka. Living so close to East Chase is actually kind of awesome. I definitely wouldn’t say that all of Montgomery is a shithole, at least not where they live.
It can be considered very church oriented, school oriented, community oriented, clique oriented…it’s very club/side/team oriented …and some people enjoy that and for many it’s wholesome It’s mostly nice mild weather … there are beautiful day trips and events and culture and history easily accessed It’s centrally located with easy access to other areas It’s basically safe with some accident prone areas I worked in the most dangerous part of town for 2 years and never felt ‘unsafe’, but there was ‘never a dull moment’ of near miss accidents The rest is down to the individual and how well or not one can manage …
I am a tow truck driver work with the city police at night this stuff doesn't happen every night and Montgomery isn't even my birth home I just live here Birmingham is my birth and I can say Birmingham is a little rougher
He left Chisholm out because its mostly white people living there. White + poor + high crime rate doesn’t fit his agenda, so he just left it out. Same with Boylston.
Montgomery born and raised and I think you couldn’t be more wrong about us being segregated. That’s insane. My high school Robert E Lee was 50/50 white black students
Montgomery Ala is not a bad place to live. The poster who posted this, Sorry to inform you but you have an opinion that is completely inaccurate. You see there are plenty educated individuals that live here in this city. I'm retired military and currently have a job here as well. Certainly, there is racism everywhere you go. Meaning our government can change all the laws they want but you can't change the way a person thinks. I live here and the depictions that you've shared in this video are absolutely not true. Living here for a year and not getting to know the people or engaging or going to city council meetings or education board meetings is not solving the problem(s), but only adding to them. So, before you come here and put a city on blast; live here a "While" longer and become a part of the solution. Because truthfully you are the problem. The problem that causes individuals to not want to come here and visit or move here. Because individuals like you talk down on the good citizens that make up this city. Sure, there are problems. But before you call out a particular demographic area, ask yourself; "If I move here what can I do to help better this place I'm considering calling home". If you can't ask yourself that question. You're only a part of the problem Sir!!!!!!!
I understand more views means more money on RUclips but honestly you could have saved this video. I grew up in Montgomery and while I know my city could be so much better videos like yours play into the narrative of negativity. If you understood the history of Montgomery you would understand the dynamic of the city. Your lazy comments and whatever else you said was unnecessary. As an outsider it's easy for you to make judgements considering 1 year is not long. I feel like your video was not informative at all just your way of passing judgement for views.
I love Montgomery. I think it’s great place! You just need to have a college degree so you can work in the nice parts. If you don’t talk to anyone nobody bothers you. Now I wouldn’t go walking down Ann street but still I’ve enjoyed the city especially the Shakespeare park and old cloverdale there are a lot of little hidden gems in Montgomery. It’s not for everyone but it’s my home and I love it. There is a lot to not like but I’m biased since I’m from central Alabama. The river is gorgeous at sunset as well.
You told a lot of lies about Montgomery and they never said that they wanted to close the Walmarts here. Somebody that is born and raised here you just rubbed everybody you ran crossed the wrong way. But I see you made this video when you left Montgomery.
I grew up on the South Blvd.. in the 80's till 2003... the neighborhood i grew up, i was one of the maybe 15 white kids in the "hood"... being there taught me everything i know about other people and how to treat each other... but anyone saying its not that bad... is wrong.. and EVERY neighborhood in Montgomery is the damn hood... doesn't have anything to with demographics or money..
You make some points but most of this video is fluff... You not even originally from here and it seems you real bitter about something that happened to you here. Op 1q
1st off please don’t speak on Ridgecrest‼️.. My Hood is one of the best hood in Montgomery.. 2nd off all the shit you saying is cap tfu‼️.. and I am from Ridgecrest an we don’t claim ourselves to be no sides period but nothing but the CrestSide ‼️.. so stop speaking on shit that you really don’t nothing bout cause some people don’t take all that negative talking shit bout where they are from to lightly
West montgomery is not a neighborhood, the city lines are defined by the people here, Millbrook is one of the most racist places in alabama, perry hill is not dangerous at all, but other than that, you're right
Millbrook is horrendous. what a NIGHTMARE living there. racism, hate crime and corruption. the scariest stages of my life there FOR SURE> a place of nightmares.
Good video, and I agree with most of it. Some things I would like to correct you on though. As a land surveyor and native I can shed some light on some things. The northern blvd where there is very little is due to very high water table. I have done perk test in that area and to be able to build effectively would be a huge cost for anyone to take the burden on. Also that area is prone to flooding and some developed land is below the 100 year flood plane. No city anywhere would pay to develop an area like that. As for neighborhood names, there are ways to find “official” names, many old land transactions have surveys that show boundary location of neighborhoods but you have to know where to look to find these surveys. Most of the surveys are in private libraries
awesome information. where we live in Florida now they do build on flood zones. even outside of it the home has to be 3 feet about the crown of the road. expect to spend anywhere from $6000 to $12,000 on grading per home.
I grew up in my dad's excavating business. We hauled a lot of sand and gravel from pits in north Montgomery back in the '60s and '70s, up Jackson Ferry Road near the river, and near Boylston. I note that a few houses have been built along the riverbank in north Montgomery, but they're built on stilts because of the possible flooding.
Yes Montgomery's murder rate is very high, especially in 2020 and 2021. The city saw a record breaking 77 homicides in 2021, and 68 the previous year. Most cities saw steep increases in Murder rates in 2020 and another increase in 2021. Montgomery didn't have a dangerous murder rate before 2020. Montgomery hasn't always been like this, it's only gotten this way after 2020. If you haven't lived in Montgomery all your life you really don't know how Montgomery was before 2019. People were saying Montgomery was dangerous when Montgomery before 2020, when it was not even that dangerous. The number if people killed skyrocketed more than 60% in 2020, or 26 more cases in 2020, than in 2019, and 30 cases up from 2018.
If yall were not so racist latinos would have bought all those empty houses and fixed them up but now your city looks like a dump. Thats the reward for getting rid of the latinos who were 10% of the population but 35% of the labor force
Now, he is reaching!!!! I’ve been a lot of places, to include Iraq twice. He’s not being truthful. Not sure where he got his facts from, but it’s not that dangerous as his weak @$$ says. Couldn’t be too bad to be eating bbq with everyone and their cousins. But you’re welcomed back anytime you like.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS But companies in Montgomery pay shit wages. You CAN'T save any money. I guess the fact that you can't leave your house without having your world turned upside down by either thugs or the cops, might keep you home and not spending any money. I moved from Montgomery to Dacula, Ga. 9 years ago. I met some really nice folks here, two who ended up moving to Montgomery for a business opportunity. I wonder how they feel about their new digs?
Remember 1 thing like a preacher told me in Texas. When you move to a bigger city, " So Goes the People, So Goes the Demons." It's killings alllll over America, a conspiracy
Every city have a GOOD side and a BAD side.... Name a place that doesn't, I'll wait. 🤔🤔🤔 This guy is strictly focusing on ALLLL the bad things in not Montgomery, but other cities as well. Our city has history there ,but he said nothing about the new and beautiful areas of the town. Notice that he talked about GREAT real-estate opportunities and how he doubled his 💰 money!! He makes a living off of negativity. SOUNDING LIKE SOME DIVIDE & CONQUERING TO ME
Everybody calm down, he told us from the very beginning he only lived in Montgomery for less than a year. That should tell you right there he don’t know shitters! I’ve been living in Atlanta Ga for 13 years and still uses GPS to get around.
He focused mostly on neighborhoods that are mostly poc.. sadly many black on black crimes are happening here. That is truth and it's sad to see people killing each other.
What he is saying is not true. He only showed the worst parts of Montgomery. I live in a beautiful neighborhood and there are MANY other beautiful neighborhoods in Montgomery as well. Also, I go to a great private school with a great education.
Yes, many neighborhoods in Montgomery have become dangerous, but you showed other places in the city when you named certain neighborhoods. It would have been nice for you to show some of the nice neighborhoods before showing the trashy violent areas. Also, you made some comments that were inaccurate. The project neighborhoods are all being replaced with new apartments because the government requires that housing to be torn down and rebuilt with apartments. The one you showed just hasn't been torn down yet. It breaks my heart that violence has become so prevalent not only in Montgomery, but nationwide. When you make a video for all of RUclips to see, please represent accurately. Thank you!
In 1984, when I was a plumber, I remodeled the Trenholm Court projects near the police station. It had 362 apartments, millions of dollars were spent rehabbing them. Last time I was down there, I noticed that they're all demolished now.
I was born and raised in Montgomery, but I'm planning on moving away because of my neighborhood having a gang gunfight. Montgomery has gotten bad. What I said to you was you misrepresented some neighborhoods and some of what you said. A lot has changed since 1984. Trenholm court has been rebuilt with the new apartments. Yes, the Mayor is black, and Montgomery is majority black. It's the violence that has made it a bad place to live. Just please get your facts straight, even the small ones before telling about any area. Thanks!
The murder rate you have is incorrect. It was 70 something murders last year. Yes Montgomery is a dangerous city. But it's also the company you keep. I suggest living far out on the Eastside of Montgomery. School system is trash. I can't wait to get out of Montgomery
if you care about yourself you need to get out asap specially if you got little ones. and by little ones i mean kids not bed bugs. come to Florida and slave away for a safer life. Pace and milton seam cheap and got jobs.
Yall saying "he is not even from here" GLAD not to be from here you ought be ashamed of being from this embarrassing racist place. your proud to be from a racist segregated place???? its embarassing. I am proud to be from CUBA a tropical island with our own music and food and culture. I am proud to be raised in Naples Florida, the richest place in USA.. but Montgomery or Alabama? no thanks. The people I met, are embarrassing. Racist, corrupt, hateful.. the W hate the B but go lick them when they get hook on crack and aint got $5 for it.
Are you smart? Because Florida is notorious for their racialized killing and police brutality. Florida is literally a cess pool of racist white people. You live in Naples because your ancestors were colonizers. It’s one thing to name the violence in a place but what you did wasn’t there. You wanted this reactions tho. You’re clearly racist at heart. You live in a stand your ground state where cops routinely abuse the law. You are a sad little man. And delusional about the place you were raised and grew up in.
@@RUclipsmusings most racist whites left Florida a long time ago 🤣🤣🤣 they cant win here. The ones left are decent and the ones moving here will learn as well. Dont have on white florida man
There are good people there. I am from there.
I have been to Naples many times as a kid and beat up on Naples high in football. Be from Collier doesn't mean you got bread, you probably from the outskirts, Eustis, FL. Heck Naples is a snobby, racists city. Take your green card ass back. You probably swim over here. Perpetrating like you some type of Big shot, broke ass wannabe RUclips channel sensation, not going to happen
You have it backwards. The B hate the W in Montgomery. But accurate video.
As a person born and raised in Montgomery, AL, the you Sir are misinformed, biased, and slanderous. The city is in decline and there are dangerous areas for sure, but this video is a very poor representation of my home town. We aren't hillbillies, inbred, gang members, or lazy. I was a teen during the height of the crack epidemic. This is when the decline began, yet my city produced doctors, nurses, architects, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, engineers, chefs, and almost any other professional you can imagine. Montgomery, despite its many deficits, produces more success stories than tragedies. If you're going to tell our story, please tell it in its entirety.
More than anything he’s racist
Yo mama
One can only Imagine how stupid you are if you were born and raised in montgomery
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS and that’s why yours can’t go home. Loser.
Agreed that Montgomery has produced many successful people and artists. From Nat King Cole to Tommy Shaw, Montgomery has always been a hotbed of talent. But in order to become successful, you have to get the hell away from Montgomery. The man is not misinformed. He lived here for a year. It only takes a couple of weeks in Montgomery for the truth to slap you into reality.
This is a very poor presentation of the city of Montgomery. If you are looking to move here for any reason please don’t allow this man’s pure ignorance sway your decision. Do real research.
I moved to montogmery, worst decision OF MY LIFE your all a bunch of racist backwards inbreed bed bug infested hicks
i have 100,000 subscribers between all my channels.,. they all know i had to flee for my life from this heelhole slum
Majority of this information is based on biased opinions. I hear very little facts.
@@tcsmeans everything he said was accurate.
Yeah, if you're black it will be an all day partay. Montgomery, because of blacks, has become a fucking CESSPOOL. I did 50 years of 'research'. But I'll cut you some slack. Were it not for the cheap prices as compared to the rest of the country, the dregs of society probably wouldn't have moved here. But they DID. And what they've done to my hometown is unforgivable.
I have lived in Montgomery for more than 40 years, mostly in Midtown, and I have never once been a victim of crime or been chased by people with or without guns or witnessed violence of any kind. Also, it is blatantly false that some of these areas that were said to be violent and ghost towns after dark. it is not a war zone, most of the violence is domestic it's not random people walking down the street
He's full of lies
We're moving to Montgomery. Love the people and the low cost of living!
@@leepo007It Could be true I just seen a guy said the same thing about Mobile. In Alabama most of the people know who they are targeting it's not just random in most cities there. Unless you are a girl walking alone at night but that will happy anywhere & they shouldn't be out alone at night
@@jefferyyounce5372 How is it going for you? I recently visited and really liked it. Are there areas you like for home-buying? I'm on a low budget and looking for a very small home. Any insight you might have is appreciated. Thank you.
He lying alot
I have lived in Montgomery my whole life and I'm offended by this video. No it's not perfect but for every negative thing he had to say there are at least 2 to 3 positive things about Montgomery. He makes it seem as though you need a secret service detail to come Herr. That's not the the case. In the areas of the video, there are very good people that didn't receive what they rightfully deserve. Buy like any city, some places have a low tolerance people that start problems. That being said, Montgomery is a wonderful place to live and has many great opportunities to offer. Please visit my hometown and see how much different it is from this video.
I am glad it offends you, it makes me feel warm inside. I wish u a merry food stamp

I've lived in Montgomery for 22 years. This dude is ignorant or purposely wanted to paint a negative picture. Every city that I've been too has some bad areas. Montgomery definitely has some bad areas. It also has some very awesome areas. He went over to Millbrook but didn't show all the growth in Pike Road that is one of fastest growing in the Nation. The East Side of Montgomery and the Downtown areas are now the growing areas and have been for over 15 years. He shows a bunch of rundown areas but didn't show the 5k Sq ft houses that can be purchased for 650k as opposed to price for same on the East or West Coast.
Pike road fastest in the nation 😅😭😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 yeah fleeing montgomery is the fastest thing happening in the nation you people down there are so slow its funny. You need to go to Orlando florida to see fast growing areas.. they have built houses for 500,000 people in the last 3 years. Pike road 😅😅😅😅😅😅😭😭😅🤣🤣🤣 there are single communities in orlando larger than the entire city of montgomery
I almost shitt myself when i read this laughing
"This dude is ignorant or purposely wanted to paint a negative picture." He's not ignorant just because you don't want to face the truth. The videos don't lie. And yes, he made the video specifically to show people what they're going to be living around if they move to Montgomery. That was his whole point. It was a warning.
@@killmenow6663 he is a fuc king idiot. The video is dumb af. “There are no neighborhoods in Montgomery” lol….sftu seriously? Wow. If you think that Montgomery doesn’t have defined neighborhoods then you’re an absolute moron. Imagine mailing a letter to “north Montgomery”.
@@killmenow6663 Well, I don't live around that. And...last I checked, I know better. This guy is obviously in a different tax bracket. You get what you can afford. That's true for ANYWHERE
You are out of bounds. You don't know enough about the city or it's people. You only lived there for 1 damn year! Crime is everywhere... especially in urban areas. The areas that are high in crime are that way because of the conditions. You talk about racist... systematic racism is the main factor behind what is going on. Where do you get off calling the people, hateful and lazy? You can't generalize everyone due to the actions of a few. The city has close to 200k residents and all of them are not lazy, violent, etc. If you aren't doing anything to help, what is your purpose? Is all this for views? Cover middle and upper middle class sections of the city. Stop exploiting Montgomery and any other place you supposedly "cover". Find you something else to do.
He talks about racism, we'll we just bought a very nice 5k square ft mansion from a wonderful, well-educated Black lady. We love the folks, Black N White in Montgomery. Our realtor is Black and became a great friend of ours.
"So-called human faults are false labels, not laws, so we don’t have to accept them as belonging to us and consequently act them out. To believe that we can’t help ourselves because we were created with these failings or sins would dishonor God. Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health: “Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God, by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin. . . .

This video is VERY misleading. There are 200,000 residents in Montgomery, Alabama....the number of people, who live in the neighborhoods, shown on the video COMBINED is less than 3000 people. So, how does it look in the neighborhoods that the "other" 170,000 people live ? It looks very nice. Please take the time to view neighborhoods such as Deer Creek, Brekenridge, Monticello Cove, Wynlakes, Sturbridge, Stoneybrooke, Fox Hollow, New Park, Tuscany, Ryan Ridege......ALL BEAUTIFUL neighborhoods that most of the 170, 000 "other" Montgomerians live. When you tried to steer Maxwell Airforce Base workers/ Airmen & Women to Prattville, Alabama.....when you could have easily mentioned the beautiful Dalraida neighborhood, located right outside of the Maxwell- Gunter back gate, I found that to be VERY missleading. When you steer people to Prattville, Alabama...to live ..please advise how overcrowded that city is..... please tell the people that Prattville, Alabama has a high rate of pedophiles in the city....one old man ( Mr. George)was just sentenced to 150 years for more than 70 charges of pedophilia,in Prattville, Alabama. That city is not safe for children. A school teacher, was recently arrested there for sexual assault of a minor. When you talk about Montgomery Public Schools, as you talk negatively....please add this caveat : But, the #1 ranked school in Alabama is in the City of Montgomery, Alabama ( LAMP School)....an MPS school. Tell the people that the #14 ranked school, in the Nation, is part of the Montgomery Public School system ( Booker T. Washington). If you want a lot of views....make a video of the 10 nicest neighborhoods in Montgomery, Alabama. You said that you bought a house in Montgomery, Alabama....flipped it & gained a significant return on the investment (double). That is wonderful...but , what part of that statement is supposed to hurt Montgomery, Alabama? Being able to flip a house for a 100% return on investment is EVERY investors desire. It shows that there is PLENTY of growth in Montgomery, Alabama.
Also, Prattville police are very racist.

@@ARenae-vo4ch they're probably trying to 'help out' the people of Prattville who moved there from Montgomery to get away from this crap. When whites move en masse to escape black crime, the blacks always want to follow them. Maybe the cops are trying to prevent that. Look, you've destroyed Montgomery. This is what you've made it. Stay there and let the rest live in peace!
All that you say is irrelevant to the video's intent. You're making a simple message into a very complex send up for all the things you like about Montgomery, and if anything you want mentioned isn't included, you dismiss the entire thing, and question his motives. That was NOT the point of the video.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You had some videos of Florida and it's worse than Montgomery.
I've lived in 6 different states. Trust me, Montgomery is not as bad as similar cities that I've lived in that are the same size. Also, if you learn to mind your business, you won't get caught up in drama and can move about accordingly.

This can't be real.
I was going to leave a simple comment laughing at the fact that you claimed Montgomery is a place you can easily make a lot of money in. Then I saw that nice little comment that your significant other seems to have left for the people that dared to do something as crazy as ~taking offense to someone talking bad about their home~. So now let me offer the two of you a little bit of constructive criticism instead.
You two are what we call "content creators". That means you provide value to people through the content (videos) you create, and share with the public. Once you've uploaded a video, the most important thing you should be seeking is engagement, and retainment of viewers and commenters. Knowing this, it becomes obvious that you should remain neutral and facilitate further discussion in the comments. This gives you a higher chance of both fostering greater engagement, and potentially retaining a viewer/commenter. A good example is myself finding this video almost a year after it was uploaded and choosing to leave a comment, which could've been potentially followed up by subscribing to the channel. What you should NEVER do, is sit here and leave some paragraph that looks like it was written by a child, seeking to shame the exact audience you're wanting further engagement from. It's a waste of time, it hurts your growth potential, and it makes you seem childish and immature, which are two traits most people don't want to be associated with their brand. If you don't think people take notice of that kind of stuff, think again.
Furthermore, if you're going to try and shame people just because of where they were born, you probably shouldn't immediately follow that up with proudly claiming you're from Cuba, seeing as that is one of the few places on Earth that can make even a shithole like Montgomery look like a decent place to live.
EXACTLY!!
Im from Montgomery born and raised I currently live in Atlanta. Montgomery is a church compared to the crime up here..the city has changed but not all of Montgomery is bad
I go to atlanta all the time. From cummings to college park to northside to all over. Wont cafch me in montgomery again. Atlanta is an international city of commerce while montogmery is on food stamsp
I lived in Montgomery for 50 years, then moved to Dacula, just north of you. If you haven't been to the Gump in a few years, you might want to visit to see how much it's changed over the last 9 or 10 years. It may not be as bad as Atlanta yet, but it's no church. I used to live in Old Cloverdale. A couple of years ago, gang member thugs had a machine gun battle on the street in front of the Capri, not a half mile from my old house. It's changed, big time.
Wht neighborhood did you live in because in ridge crest they shoot everday almost😹
This is really… mean spirited. I’ve lived in Montgomery my whole life. Not my favorite place but it’s not this warzone. My boyfriend lives right off Perry Hill and I’m leaving there at 2 or 3 am and it’s not dangerous at all. There are barely any other cars. Plus I work at Baptist South. Southern Blvd isn’t too bad either. Like I said Montgomery isn’t my favorite place but it’s alright. A medium place to live.
Yeah, this guy is an idiot. He goes into the worse areas of a city and buys houses to rent slumlord style and then complains about the people he is dealing with. This man said "I worked in these neighborhoods when I lived in Montgomery". Only a slumlord would buy/work with real estate in those areas. Smh
I’ve been living in Montgomery all my life. Born & raised & yet i agree with everything that was said in this video. Its fucking miserable here, literally! There’s barely any activities, trash schools, horrid crime rates, etc…The only thing good i can say about my city is that the housing is very affordable, great food, and nice people (from my experience) other then that, I wouldn’t advise anyone young or with children to move here. Save your time and money, move elsewhere. I’m 19 years old, and every adult I’ve encountered in my life has told me to get out because Montgomery has NOTHING. Hell, even my own teachers. I’m planning on moving to North Carolina once i turn 21. I’ve been saving up, hopefully my plans go well!
What you're learning, inadvertenly, is why the white people that built that place entirely wanted to keep you out. You're learning why, in real time, why there was redlining and Jim Crow. Because that's what you people do everywhere you go.
Everywhere.
Best of luck to u 🙏!
Born raise Montgomery! Live NC. NC got it going on. Stay from Durham. Charlotte to Expensive. Move to Clayton, Raleigh, Gardner, Morrisville. Good Luck!

I lived in Montgomery from 1989-1994, when the demographics were rapidly changing. Lived on the southeast side off Virginia Loop Road and Troy Highway. Our house got broken into 4 different times successfully, a few other unsuccessful attempts. Montgomery Mall had a shooting near the food court, downright scary. South Boulevard or the Southern Bypass, down to Troy Highway, is the worst area. The west side Fairview Avenue west of I-65 is also very rough. Taylor Road is where most of the middle and upper class live now. I can say that for the most part, I hated living there. The other retail shopping mall in town Eastdale Mall, is all but dead. I was delighted to leave, and that was 28 years ago.
It’s changed a good bit since I lived there. Born & raised most my life there. But still wasn’t the safest in certain areas. Went to Capital Heights 7th-9th grade & grew up near the coliseum & near Morningview Elementary. And it wasn’t a bad place to grow up. My family moved us to Prattville before I started 10th grade where I would have been going to Robert E Lee. Great decision none the less. Love the Prattville area. Now live in Georgia outside Savannah. But never forget my roots of the Gump! 😅
Prattville is nice. its grown alot. my hill billy neighbors would talk about how much they hated prattville because their "poop dont stank" in them fancy new houses they building! LOL - we actually did several drive around videos in prattville.
Yeah I went to capital heights and I loved it
My man you just gave us a description of A KKK family...you move to Prattville. First of all Prattville is confederate city. Its nothing to brag about. Robert E Lee was A general that served in the confederate Military...so you left A black school that you say was not that bad then you went to Robert Lee which was better...bill gallaspy jr Been the mayor there since 2011. Bill gallaspy was the name of the chief in heat of the night..A cop from Mississippi which was also connected to the confederate war...come on my man lets stop playing. You dudes is basically trying to say the black areas is bad...so stop please..you cannot put make up on a pig and claim its a woman. We know the difference..so stop hanging in the hood stay in the prattville Area. Leave the black area's along if you think its bad.
@@williefrankcollection9437 bruh what?!? Why does everything have to be race man? KKK? Really? We moved to Prattville first and foremost cause that’s where my old man and the rest of his family lived. It’s literally 20-30 min up the interstate so not that big of a transition so no idea where you’re getting this shit. I’m not trashing Montgomery, I’m stating I grew up there and moved.

I moved from Montgomery 10 years ago. It is exactly what he says. Don't be fooled by the people saying it ain't that bad.
Millbrook isn’t a suburb of Montgomery… it’s in an entirely different county. You’re also mixing the city of Montgomery and Montgomery county. Also the reason why Montgomery is so “affordable” is because no one wants to be here. Supply and demand.
Yes, Millbrook is across the river from Montgomery. Millbrook was formerly a heavily Creek Indian land. The Red Stick Creek chief William Weatherford, who surrendered to Andrew Jackson, was from Coosada, next to Millbrook. Also the man who became the Seminole warrior Osceola was from there.
Exactly
Sandtown is a bad part of Millbrook but that shooting wasn’t at Sandtown
He obviously doesn’t know demographics. Millbrook isn’t a suburb of Montgomery. That wasn’t sandtown…and 99% of violent crime Millbrook has is people coming from Montgomery.
It's called the "Tri-Country Area", meaning Autauga, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties. So, yes, Millbrook is a suburb of Montgomery. So are Prattville and Wetumpka.
So far, in April 2023, there have been 28 murders in Montgomery. That means that Montgomery is on pace for 90 murders in 2023. All black-on-black murders.
U need to do better research or try talking to people that live in or have lived in that state before during a video on any city & learn not to group all people together.

Born and raised in Montgomery. Spent 32 years there. Grew up next to Gunter AFB(now Maxwell AFB Gunter Annex). Rode my bike to Dalraida Elementary and Goodwyn JHS. We never locked our doors. I was always the first one home in the afternoon after school and I would walk right in the door without a key. I still have family and friends there though fewer with time. If I have to visit then I’m ALWAYS packing heat. Montgomery is a total and complete shithole....Eastside and all. If you are Air Force getting transferred there then you need to find a way to get discharged from service. I promise you will not be putting your kids in Montgomery’s public school system. It is a mirror image of the morally and culturally bankrupt city itself.
Thank u for being honest
Most military people who retire buy in the outlying areas---Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka, or out east off of I-85.
I rode my bike to Dalraida and walked to Goodwyn since it was so close to Bellehurst. Back in the late 90s it was an awesome way to live your childhood. All we had to fear was the hoodlums from Boyston. But the dangers of living in a Montgomery where gunfire is common... that shit is fucked up.

The crime is every where. If people live out east there's crime there too. A lot of it is hidden but it's going on. Every city in the nation is experiencing higher than normal rates. No area is better than another as long as people and problems exist.
I think the commentator was very specific. He was talking about “murder rates” not the crime rate. We know crime is everywhere regardless of your neighborhood; but to be murdered on the street of your neighborhood is very different. There is no excuse for that. Parents are. feeding and providing shelter for the very people that are terrorizing their community. Report those jokers to the authorities even if they are your kids or other relatives.
Yes a lot of this information is completely false and misleading. For one crime is isolated to specific neighborhoods and areas. Neighborhood boundaries are clearly defined. He even makes mention of a neighborhood being good for drive by shootings which never happen. As a business owner and investor in the community this information needs to be adjusted. Especially the school system which was voted most improved the last 3 years and has 2 of the top 5 schools in the state. I could go on but the facts aren’t as important as the click
Some topics talked about in this video I can agree with but some info sound biases. The stuff that go on here is happening EVERYWHERE! But everyone is entitled to their opinion 🤷🏾♀️

I was born in Montgomery in 1955. I'm the youngest of 12 children. My parents had about 65 grandchildren. To my knowledge, out of all those relatives, only one sister and one nephew still live in the city. Most of those who still live in the area have moved to outlying towns 10-20 miles away. They did so to escape the crime and to send their kids to decent schools.
Its not what it used to be
Montgomery has the number one school, the number 7 school, and the number 19 school all are high schools in the state Alabama. In addition loveless academic magnet School is in the same neighborhood that this guy's actually filming. It is the number five in the country,
and normally ranks anywhere between five and number one in the country. I know two kids went to Stanford university full scholarship, 32 kids went to Alabama last year 35 with the Auburn on full scholarships I know a few went to michigan, a few went to Harvard , a few went to Yale, and many more schools. The School is nationally known throughout the country. In fact, at the University of Michigan the young lady that's from Montgomery is the first female and Black to get a PhD in robotics from the University of Michigan and from any school in the country. So a bunch of that video is bullshit. I went to college with two twin sisters who are district court judges in Birmingham who are ASU Alumni

I lived in Montgomery for 13 years, and it is by far the most dangerous place I have ever lived. If you were rolling through those neighborhoods, at night, alone, you just got lucky is all. I was always armed. I never witnessed so much crime in my life. Every building that I ever worked in over the 13 years had bullet holes. I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not. I live a quiet, boring life. I only knew one person that had been shot at, ever, before moving there. Now I know a lot of people who have been shot at. I was so glad to move away!
@user-ew9du5eg6g so according to you the only way I survived going into those neighborhoods at night and/or alone was because I got lucky? So I guess I was just lucky on a regular basis because I am not talking about once or twice at some points it was on a weekly basis (at least). I worked in one of the areas that he talks about so it was on a daily basis and at times was the only one in the office and never had any problems. In fact I had several people that would stop by just to talk....not a single one of them ever pulled a gun on me or robbed me or even threatened me! If that was all because I was lucky well damn I must be one lucky ass person! I wish!
As of 2021 there are over 360k people who lives in Montgomery, AL. People research for yourself before you assume that these bloggers are correct.

It's evident that everyone has had different experiences. Now what you said about the schools were kinda true 😂 They were trying to bake us in classes cant lie 😂 But you've only been here for a year..maybe staying a little longer and ACTUALLY getting more accurate accusations. Some comments were biased and disrespectful but everything else was pretty accurate especially since the pricing for living is expensive
What the hell would i stay in a SHITHOLE like this any longer? are you serious? FOR WHAT? to lie or catch bed bugs? why on earth would you stay in a place that miserable for.. why prolong suffering?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS im just gone assume this is a troll acc 💀
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS what the hell is it with you and talking about bed bugs?? Either you had bed bugs or you climbed in other people's beds that had bed bugs. To say Montgomery is full of bed bugs is a completely stupid, untrue, and immature comment! So since you have made multiple comments about Montgomery and bed bugs the questions become did you bring them with you or were you being trashy and bed jumping with some not so clean people??
I agree with you. I've lived in Montgomery al my life 64 years and it has really gone down. My neighborhood of Highland ave is improving due to people buying houses and living there. When a neighborhood becomes more rental it goes down because of slum lords. I have a petition going around now asking our city to hold landlords accountable for what goes on at their rentals.
You need to move to a better place. Montgomery is the toilet.. thats what goes there. That area is scary and you wont he able to change it.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS it has started changing. Our city has put into place things that will change things. It takes people being involved.
@@kathrynnard8059 the only thing that changed in Montgomery is the murder rate. Its now 2x worst than a few years back.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS actually its a little less than last year at this time. I've kept up with the numbers because I have my opinion of why it drastically increased 2 years ago. I have a chart with dates and activities and homicide numbers that proves it. Our city has a up coming program to lessen the panhandling and like i said I have a petition going around for all of Montgomery to hold landlords accountable to addressing and correcting violations going on at their property. If anyone reading this is interested in signing it just let me know. It takes people getting involved and being a voice that changes things. It starts being involved on your street then your neighborhood then your city.
@@kathrynnard8059 i started by leaving Montgomery. Theres a reason the population is going backwards instead of growing. This city is so hateful it would rather lose people and suffer than be welcoming.
When did Millbrook leave Elmore County and become a suburb of Montgomery?.......Mmmmmmm.....NEVER!!!!!Learn your locations.
Millbrook needs to leave the human race and become a bedbug.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS 😂
It didn't, but it's called the Tri-County area, Autauga, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties, so Millbrook is a suburb of Montgomery, as are Prattville and Wetumpka. Pelham and Helena are in a different county from Birmingham; they didn't leave Shelby County, but they are suburbs of Birmingham. Metro areas can take up more than one county (or parish if you're in Louisiana).
Alabama national holiday= the first of the month
If your going to talk about the city do that but don’t talk about the people here are sorry or are on food stamps you don’t know how nobody eating. Should not matter to you period. Glad you moved.
I wish you a happy first of the month and a merry food stamp
So I’m on food stamps because I am black?
@@solidbby3342according to him all of the people living in Montgomery are lazy and refuse to work and are on food stamps....oh also he keeps talking about bed bugs in his comments when referring to Montgomery and anyone with common sense knows that is strictly a individual household issue not a city or even neighborhood issue. It does make it wonder though if he doesn't deal with bed bugs on a regular basis because I have never heard someone bring them up as much as he does and never heard them used as a generalized insult towards an entire city! Also, he is constantly calling people in Montgomery dumb or stupid while literally spelling 3 out of 5 words wrong, using the wrong words in sentences, and literally using insults that you would typically hear 1st or 2nd graders use.
It's really nice that someone helped him post videos online! I love the programs that give the "special" people that have a low IQ a smart buddy to help them do things that they can't figure out! His buddy really needs to monitor his comments though because he's going to dig himself a hole that he can't get out of!
You completely overlooked Gibbs Village,Chisholm,redline apartments…but dude it’s not that bad,and maybe a few people are lazy but dude most of them are hard working people..not everybody can find a job that pays well
ABŸ ‘always be yeetN’ . Been in the Gump since ‘85 .. ya better come correct around here.. Jesus is the only hope 🙏
I’ve been all over this world and some bad places too but I would never disrespect or cast wide nets about the population like you. I can’t see the video because the insults are too over the top.
doesn't seam like you have traveled or expanded your mind much if you cant handle a few TRUE FACTS about the bed bug state
I am born and raised in Montgomery. Lived in multiple states. We have our issues but you are being a bit racist and glossing over the better areas. I personally live in Highland Gardens and it is declining quickly. Millbrook has a couple of pocket areas but mostly a really goid area.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Im just seeing this but you clearly have a problem. There are Plenty of embarrassing areas in FL that can be pointed out. Seek professional help RUclipsr. Im not sure if you know this or not but racist people live in FL too FOOL.
Montgomery is a typical dem run city (mayor, police chief, fire chief, school superintendent, etc,) with near 70 % dem constituency based on typical voting patterns. Of the 80-plus murders in 2021, almost all, if not all, were black on black. The public school system (with the exception of a few magnet schools) is deplorable, as is the landscape shown in the videos. However, the old sociological term "white flight" has taken on a new, more inclusive identity which includes families of all races wanting to get the hell away from the pervasive insanity that plagues this town. However, SL's comment that people from Montgomery should be ashamed of being from a "racist place" is akin to someone suggesting that he should be ashamed of being from a communist country. Just because someone happens to be from a particular place is not indicative of that person's full agreement with the goings on in that region. Much like SL expressed pride for being raised in a wealthy part of the U.S, I express my pride of having lived in Montgomery for several years. It was, at one time, a safe place to call home. Moreover, I express even more gratitude for having made the decision to get the hell out!
i lived in republican outskirts, and they were some miserable meth outed, food stamp having, bed bug infested turds as well. PLENTY of trashy red too. so dont blame it on politics..
We need people like y’all to go to the hood when everybody is out and interview them and get our side of our story. ! Your 9/10 going to want be back
The fact that this man is being so rude to the replies is scary
Ikr😮
The area on Ann Street right off of I-85 is also very rough. You're Southern Bypass part is spot on. I went through part of there earlier today, and the homes are very run down, parking lots that were once grocery stores are desolate and deserted. One building was collapsed. I want to say that this guy is exactly right about Alabama's capital city. 30 years, we were at Montgomery Mall, and eating dinner at the food court and a shooting broke out, and it was very scary. The people I know who live there have had similar experiences. When I lived there, in addition to being broken into 4 times, successfully, several other times, unsuccessfully, We saw 4 or 5 police cars pull out right outside our kitchen window and watched, as we were eating supper. A drunk driver shined his head lights right into my brother's bedroom in the middle of the night. People were outside another time in the middle of the night, and were about to fight, and the police came and had to separate them. Kids from a nearby elementary school walked through our yard, turned on our water hose, and you see many gas stations with bars on the windows to keep burglars out. I know someone else who lived in the Dalraida hood and she said crime was very rampant. Some others we knew had to get guard dogs outside their house, because the same thing happened to them, their home was broken into, and several things were stolen. Except for the far east side, Montgomery should be avoided. It's sad how things have gotten, as Montgomery didn't use to be like how he's describing it. 20 years ago, I talked to someone else I knew there, and she said about Montgomery Mall, "you don't dare go there at night". All these other comments stating that Montgomery is not how he's describing it, are DEAD, TOTALLY WRONG.
At 11:16, the brick building is where Rosa Parks lived.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ awesome tip will check it out next time around
I have lived in some of these neighborhoods. And it's nowhere near as bad as it's depicted in this video. And what people are starving here? I've went to the schools here and so have my kids I've never seen windows blown out. And yes it's illegal to point a gun at someone here it's called menacing and they lock your tail up.
You know the old saying “a hit dog will holler”? If you’re offended by the truth of this video and think Montgomery is *not that bad* you’re probably contributing to all of the ways this place sucks so much.
ABSOLUTELY!!! You win the internet today!
The people defending this place, I'm sure they are not from Montgomery! They might live there but they are not from there! That place is everything you described and more! Main reason I left that slum ass town!
Here is the link to a video about Montgomery Alabama: ruclips.net/video/DySAJmmEPOM/видео.html
Used to live in this area. Awesome neighbors.
when i moved to Alabama my neighbor ran an air compressor for 3 months every night to annoy me
Amen to you brother spot on
thanks for being real.
He's over exaggerating a bit. I'm not going to act like a saint town but to say that if you sit down to eat you have to duck and hide behind cars just to eat is a little outrageous
That was sooooo outrageous, I’ve been in Montgomery all of my life and I have never had to dodge bullets eating outside or inside a restaurant nor my neighborhood!!! He’s to extra and misinformed for me loll
I actually wanted to say that Montgomery surprised me with what I’ve seen so far. I’m actually considering moving here now. My parents live here and for the life of me I couldn’t understand why they loved it here and why they had no desire to leave until I visited. To be fair, I have literally only seen their neighborhood and a few surrounding blocks, as well as the drive from here (a housing community called Wynlakes or something) to Wetumpka. Living so close to East Chase is actually kind of awesome. I definitely wouldn’t say that all of Montgomery is a shithole, at least not where they live.
Yes I actually lived in wynlakes from 2008-2017 which is the rich part of town now we live in pike road due to the school systems
It can be considered very church oriented, school oriented, community oriented, clique oriented…it’s very club/side/team oriented …and some people enjoy that and for many it’s wholesome
It’s mostly nice mild weather …
there are beautiful day trips and events and culture and history easily accessed
It’s centrally located with easy access to other areas
It’s basically safe with some accident prone areas
I worked in the most dangerous part of town for 2 years and never felt ‘unsafe’, but there was ‘never a dull moment’ of near miss accidents
The rest is down to the individual and how well or not one can manage …
I am a tow truck driver work with the city police at night this stuff doesn't happen every night and Montgomery isn't even my birth home I just live here Birmingham is my birth and I can say Birmingham is a little rougher
Birmingham is alot rougher.
Go park on hill street at about 8pm on a friday and listen to gunshots
I was born and raised here. Live in Highland Gardens. I hear gunshots EVERY night from dusk to dawn.
But I will say there are some beautiful spots in Montgomery area.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS but it's it all over every night?
I feel like Chisholm deserved an honorable mention.
thats kinda north montgomery th right?
I just realized it’s right next to boylston 😂 I lived in Chisholm for a year and head gunshots every single night.
He left Chisholm out because its mostly white people living there. White + poor + high crime rate doesn’t fit his agenda, so he just left it out. Same with Boylston.
Montgomery born and raised and I think you couldn’t be more wrong about us being segregated. That’s insane. My high school Robert E Lee was 50/50 white black students
Montgomery Alabama doesn't seem like the Capitol ⭐ of Alabama but it is lol it's not a bad place or good in the middle.
Montgomery Ala is not a bad place to live. The poster who posted this, Sorry to inform you but you have an opinion that is completely inaccurate. You see there are plenty educated individuals that live here in this city. I'm retired military and currently have a job here as well. Certainly, there is racism everywhere you go. Meaning our government can change all the laws they want but you can't change the way a person thinks. I live here and the depictions that you've shared in this video are absolutely not true. Living here for a year and not getting to know the people or engaging or going to city council meetings or education board meetings is not solving the problem(s), but only adding to them. So, before you come here and put a city on blast; live here a "While" longer and become a part of the solution. Because truthfully you are the problem. The problem that causes individuals to not want to come here and visit or move here. Because individuals like you talk down on the good citizens that make up this city. Sure, there are problems. But before you call out a particular demographic area, ask yourself; "If I move here what can I do to help better this place I'm considering calling home". If you can't ask yourself that question. You're only a part of the problem Sir!!!!!!!
I am a very productive person in society.. yours loss 👌
Define “yours loss”or are you trying to say lost.
I understand more views means more money on RUclips but honestly you could have saved this video. I grew up in Montgomery and while I know my city could be so much better videos like yours play into the narrative of negativity. If you understood the history of Montgomery you would understand the dynamic of the city. Your lazy comments and whatever else you said was unnecessary. As an outsider it's easy for you to make judgements considering 1 year is not long. I feel like your video was not informative at all just your way of passing judgement for views.
1 year was TOO LONG. disturbing place.
Yall kill em with the country accent😂😂🤣🤭& damn man…the city gotta do better
I'm from Lexington Kentucky but my family is originally from Montgomery Alabama I don't know what side until further detail
I love Montgomery. I think it’s great place! You just need to have a college degree so you can work in the nice parts. If you don’t talk to anyone nobody bothers you. Now I wouldn’t go walking down Ann street but still I’ve enjoyed the city especially the Shakespeare park and old cloverdale there are a lot of little hidden gems in Montgomery. It’s not for everyone but it’s my home and I love it. There is a lot to not like but I’m biased since I’m from central Alabama. The river is gorgeous at sunset as well.
The Baytown Outlaws brought me here. lol
Interesting
I came here to visit my granddaughter. She lives in a gated community, The farthest I've been was downtown.
Giving me a heart attack, moving here over the summer for a temporary gig and this vid doesn't give me hope :(
There is a reason its the cheapest metro area in USA
Not quite sure your “Capital heights” thing was correct. And… you really should do more research before passing this off as truth.
theres no stats about montgomery becuase none of you inbreed hicks know how to read
You told a lot of lies about Montgomery and they never said that they wanted to close the Walmarts here. Somebody that is born and raised here you just rubbed everybody you ran crossed the wrong way. But I see you made this video when you left Montgomery.
I grew up on the South Blvd.. in the 80's till 2003... the neighborhood i grew up, i was one of the maybe 15 white kids in the "hood"... being there taught me everything i know about other people and how to treat each other... but anyone saying its not that bad... is wrong.. and EVERY neighborhood in Montgomery is the damn hood... doesn't have anything to with demographics or money..
You know. They racist and evil
You make some points but most of this video is fluff... You not even originally from here and it seems you real bitter about something that happened to you here. Op 1q
yeah i am real bitter about having to live here for 1 year with you inbreed hicks. racist, lazy thieves.
GLAD not to be from this embarrassing place
1st off please don’t speak on Ridgecrest‼️.. My Hood is one of the best hood in Montgomery.. 2nd off all the shit you saying is cap tfu‼️.. and I am from Ridgecrest an we don’t claim ourselves to be no sides period but nothing but the CrestSide ‼️.. so stop speaking on shit that you really don’t nothing bout cause some people don’t take all that negative talking shit bout where they are from to lightly
West montgomery is not a neighborhood, the city lines are defined by the people here, Millbrook is one of the most racist places in alabama, perry hill is not dangerous at all, but other than that, you're right
Millbrook is horrendous. what a NIGHTMARE living there. racism, hate crime and corruption. the scariest stages of my life there FOR SURE> a place of nightmares.
I lived in Montgomery 95 to 03 . Thanks for the memories
despite the bad, i miss it sometimes
What is Wagon Park 36117 like? Thank you.
The Legacy of Rosa Parks in full display!!
She was a kind sweet women, surrounded by wolves
Good video, and I agree with most of it. Some things I would like to correct you on though. As a land surveyor and native I can shed some light on some things. The northern blvd where there is very little is due to very high water table. I have done perk test in that area and to be able to build effectively would be a huge cost for anyone to take the burden on. Also that area is prone to flooding and some developed land is below the 100 year flood plane. No city anywhere would pay to develop an area like that.
As for neighborhood names, there are ways to find “official” names, many old land transactions have surveys that show boundary location of neighborhoods but you have to know where to look to find these surveys. Most of the surveys are in private libraries
awesome information. where we live in Florida now they do build on flood zones. even outside of it the home has to be 3 feet about the crown of the road. expect to spend anywhere from $6000 to $12,000 on grading per home.
I grew up in my dad's excavating business. We hauled a lot of sand and gravel from pits in north Montgomery back in the '60s and '70s, up Jackson Ferry Road near the river, and near Boylston. I note that a few houses have been built along the riverbank in north Montgomery, but they're built on stilts because of the possible flooding.
@southen life who asked. Big L
Yes Montgomery's murder rate is very high, especially in 2020 and 2021. The city saw a record breaking 77 homicides in 2021, and 68 the previous year. Most cities saw steep increases in Murder rates in 2020 and another increase in 2021. Montgomery didn't have a dangerous murder rate before 2020. Montgomery hasn't always been like this, it's only gotten this way after 2020. If you haven't lived in Montgomery all your life you really don't know how Montgomery was before 2019. People were saying Montgomery was dangerous when Montgomery before 2020, when it was not even that dangerous. The number if people killed skyrocketed more than 60% in 2020, or 26 more cases in 2020, than in 2019, and 30 cases up from 2018.
If yall were not so racist latinos would have bought all those empty houses and fixed them up but now your city looks like a dump. Thats the reward for getting rid of the latinos who were 10% of the population but 35% of the labor force
The murder rate is high cause the racist president is high. Lets talk about the president in the Whitehouse who has failed asleep while talking on T.V
Now, he is reaching!!!! I’ve been a lot of places, to include Iraq twice. He’s not being truthful. Not sure where he got his facts from, but it’s not that dangerous as his weak @$$ says. Couldn’t be too bad to be eating bbq with everyone and their cousins. But you’re welcomed back anytime you like.
I pray daily i never have to see that town again. Racist backwards inbreeding turds
they need to hire more police officers
I cannot wait for the day that I move out of this town!!! Everything this guy says is 100% true.
SAVE money while you there cuz its MUCH more expensive elsewhere
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS But companies in Montgomery pay shit wages. You CAN'T save any money. I guess the fact that you can't leave your house without having your world turned upside down by either thugs or the cops, might keep you home and not spending any money. I moved from Montgomery to Dacula, Ga. 9 years ago. I met some really nice folks here, two who ended up moving to Montgomery for a business opportunity. I wonder how they feel about their new digs?
Remember 1 thing like a preacher told me in Texas. When you move to a bigger city, " So Goes the People, So Goes the Demons." It's killings alllll over America, a conspiracy
Every city have a GOOD side and a BAD side.... Name a place that doesn't, I'll wait. 🤔🤔🤔
This guy is strictly focusing on ALLLL the bad things in not Montgomery, but other cities as well. Our city has history there ,but he said nothing about the new and beautiful areas of the town. Notice that he talked about GREAT real-estate opportunities and how he doubled his 💰 money!!
He makes a living off of negativity. SOUNDING LIKE SOME DIVIDE & CONQUERING TO ME
@JJTyus Me too!!! I look forward to moving away from this ghetto shithole for good one day! 🚗💨💨💨
Everybody calm down, he told us from the very beginning he only lived in Montgomery for less than a year. That should tell you right there he don’t know shitters! I’ve been living in Atlanta Ga for 13 years and still uses GPS to get around.
He focused mostly on neighborhoods that are mostly poc.. sadly many black on black crimes are happening here. That is truth and it's sad to see people killing each other.
Are the blacks there racist since they kill other blacks?
I've lived in Montgomery for 30 years. Birmingham is much worse. I've never been afraid living here.
If your broke not even the thieves are concerned with you
Easy there chicken little....
Born and raised in Montgomery learn the names of the neighborhoods you can't just say North Montgomery you gotta be specific
What he is saying is not true. He only showed the worst parts of Montgomery. I live in a beautiful neighborhood and there are MANY other beautiful neighborhoods in Montgomery as well. Also, I go to a great private school with a great education.
Ive lived and visited SEVERAL states...why is it the WESTSIDE of a city is ALWAYS the jacked up side of town!🤔
Yes, many neighborhoods in Montgomery have become dangerous, but you showed other places in the city when you named certain neighborhoods. It would have been nice for you to show some of the nice neighborhoods before showing the trashy violent areas. Also, you made some comments that were inaccurate. The project neighborhoods are all being replaced with new apartments because the government requires that housing to be torn down and rebuilt with apartments. The one you showed just hasn't been torn down yet. It breaks my heart that violence has become so prevalent not only in Montgomery, but nationwide. When you make a video for all of RUclips to see, please represent accurately. Thank you!
Screw that racist place, ant nuffin nicer there.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Montgomery is 61% black and 32% white. The mayor is black. So who's responsible for the racism?
In 1984, when I was a plumber, I remodeled the Trenholm Court projects near the police station. It had 362 apartments, millions of dollars were spent rehabbing them. Last time I was down there, I noticed that they're all demolished now.
I was born and raised in Montgomery, but I'm planning on moving away because of my neighborhood having a gang gunfight. Montgomery has gotten bad. What I said to you was you misrepresented some neighborhoods and some of what you said. A lot has changed since 1984. Trenholm court has been rebuilt with the new apartments. Yes, the Mayor is black, and Montgomery is majority black. It's the violence that has made it a bad place to live. Just please get your facts straight, even the small ones before telling about any area. Thanks!
The murder rate you have is incorrect. It was 70 something murders last year. Yes Montgomery is a dangerous city. But it's also the company you keep. I suggest living far out on the Eastside of Montgomery. School system is trash. I can't wait to get out of Montgomery
if you care about yourself you need to get out asap specially if you got little ones. and by little ones i mean kids not bed bugs. come to Florida and slave away for a safer life. Pace and milton seam cheap and got jobs.
Grew up in Patterson Court as a child it was the ghetto but I had some helluva memories
