As someone who actually lives in this area, I can say that Utica is just neglected, and there is no drug dealers. Utica is actually known for plenty of refuges so the city has a lot of different kinds of buildings like religious sites, restaurants. And more
@@Justarandomytmemechannel Drugs everywhere and dealers lol. Utica got 4.2 million dollar settlement with drug companies over opioid epidemic and ya'll had 4 Fentanyl overdoses in one day in the beginning of the summer plus 5 rehabs in the area. Just because you don't mess with it doesn't mean it's not there, and not everywhere is an open air market anymore and a lot of addicts are surprisingly functional.
@@stricknice5260 true story, any city and anywhwre with poverty will be dealers and addicts, a city like utica is not as out in the open as a nyc or los angeles
In the 20 years I've lived here. I believe Utica is not near of a hood as Syracuse . And with all the dilapidated houses having been pushed down, the ones that are vacant are selling very quickly by homeowners and being turned into nice homes.
@@oldyeller6518 not here in the west, we have lots of sunshine and blue skies, even our winters aren't gloomy like this. Our older homes and neighborhoods are kept up and cheery looking with lots of nice curb appeal, and you look forward to going home, except for the ghetto areas of course, but even our ghettos aren't dark, depressing and sad like this. 😢
I was born and raised in N.Utica, left many years ago. It looks like West Utica where my grandmother used to live-but then again, all the inner city streets look pretty much the same-double houses. Entirely depressing.
I was born and raised in Utica. I miss it and love coming back to visit. I could never move back because the lack of jobs and opportunity but I love to visit.
Lol I feel like most upstate cities look similar. Hilly terrain, housing stock, brick architecture. When I came here from cuse I felt like I was still at home🤣🤣.
Looks like cornhill ....people talk bad about it, but I meet some great people helped a few, and Ill be a friend for every...I also put some in the Army
Zombieland. It's a good word for Utica. I felt like throwing up watching this video. A fly with a camera buzzing round a slowly decaying corpse that's really still alive! Zombieland.
nah dont play, i grew up there and i wouldn’t have it anyway else, theres good and bad parts of it yes but theres a lotta good ppl there too and fun places!
Lived 10 mins away my whole life and things are 10x better than when I was a kid. There has been a lot of development with much more to come, and Nano in Marcy and the Air Force Research Lab in Rome are just gearing up. In 10 years it'll be a totally different place.
I've heard that same song and dance about the utica area for the last 3 to 4 decades. Didn't happen then, not happening now, doubtful it will happen period.
@@The_Real_DCT you’ve not been to the city recently then, there’s more activity now than there has ever been in the last 25 years. There is progress being made, albeit very slowly. For half of my life, pretty much all of Utica was dark and just depressing. No growth, no businesses just empty buildings. We’ve seen a massive turnaround in the last 10-15 years. It’s obviously still not anywhere near the city it used to be, but we are in the early stages of rebuilding and it takes time.
The place that God forgot. Sin City. Little Detroit. I grew up here, flee this accursed place is the only advice I have to anyone who lives here. I don't even go back to visit the graves of loved ones.
NEIGHBORHOOD GUY u should vid Oneida NY.
Not all of Utica looks like this.
I moved away from Utica to capital area I miss walking them streets everyday lived on sunset ave for a bit moved to south street all that
Utica makes Syracuse and Rochester look like Beverly Hills.

Born and raised in Utica i miss it fr.

20:03 red house on left is 1020 Howard Ave. Lived there for a few years during high school (UFA). Cheers from Buenos Aires!
Looked like you drove through Cornhill my man. Not the best part of Utica.
Why upstate new York look so sad? I went to Syracuse last year couldn't wait to get back to the city 😩 😫
High taxes, high cost of living, corrupt government, no jobs, and bad weather explain a lot of it. Those who had any skills left years ago, as I did.
@@libertarian4323 Right. I left in 78,and most of the industry like G.E, Bendix, Chicago Pneumatic, and others were pretty much cleared out by then.
