Like to watch the early seasons of c.op.s to get an idea of what it was like 😊 I don't feel young anymore and I know in a decade or 2 ppl will start asking me what things were like😮
@@DoubleO_Rondo oh ok I figured that but was wondering, thanks for replying... Those houses would look so cool with new paint & different colors ...just my opinion...some do look alot nicer than others...I liked that lighter green one I saw in the video but couldn't find it when went back to... Lol
If you live around nice, friendly people then it could actually be a very nice place to live where you can make friends and have a strong sense of community.
@@UzumakiNaruto_ Yes, but most of these areas that went out the window. Those tight-knit ethnic regions are no longer. Too many are unhappy in life and it shows in how we live together, though that can be anywhere. Philly parking in these areas is atrocious and hate to visit as to park is a hell and take another's spot.... forgetaboutit... you just disrespected someone (to them) and that Philly attitude comes out. Not to mention if driving too slow. And do not expect them to move their car faster to get thru if you blow your horn. I do not fear Philly. Just abhor things I mentioned to visit even. Center City some gentrified areas and far north etc fine. So many just attitude city and throw your trash right on the sidewalk attitude is another.
There are many parts of Philadelphia that are clean and vibrant. Baltimore and Washington DC fits inside of Philadelphia. Just to give an idea of the size of Philadelphia. I'm from West Philly and none of the neighborhoods I lived in looked like what's in this video. But what really makes Philadelphia are the people! The most loyal people who will stick by you. I lived in New York City, Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington DC. None of these cities had loyal people and a better social life than Philadelphia.
You’d never believe how nice some of those neighborhoods were at some point. There was a golden age when the homeowners there took pride in the area and everything looked nice.
You got that right... Chicago has full sweeper service and its Sanitation service (trash pick-up) is sooooo much more superior that hoods are far cleaner. OMG AND SOOOO MUCH GREENER. Green fronts, soaring trees small yards if they maintain it and back alleys for garages, added parking. Thank God Chicago did not choose to be a mostly attached row-home city that sub-divided streets to alleyway size. Chicago also has such varied housing thru blocks and fronts free from those ugly power-line poles as they are run thru your alleys as a great chose of street-grid. Set-back fronts for green and trees.👍
OMG yes... only city I ever saw that. I retired to central PA . The older small cities have rowhomes. They remained very cheap and lure big city folk looking for cheaper areas. Not for jobs... just cheaper housing and better schools no gangs. I get that. Just they bring that Philly attitude and OMG want to park-on-the-sidewalks..... The city did not have a ordinance against it so... they get away with it. Block streets for whatever.... even Philly rednecks with 4-wheelers parking them and sidewalks.... OMG my poor hometown. Northern NJ Folk and NYC Boroughs not much better quality. Still vs some of our Philly elite we get now.... Glad I am just outside the city.
Really? More garbage cans would solve the problem? Guaranteed you’re voting Biden when that brain dead, the government will fix the issue mentality lol
Detroit is still ever worst. The mighty auto industry practically went bust to trurn Detroit into gang-drug infested slums and ghettos with thousands of abandoned homes, businesses and factories. Phily was a city that thrived on a carpet industry. It too both went bust and outsourced that turned Phily into a ghetto slum as well, though not quite as the scale as what the auto industry did to Detroit.
The hood is the hood ,no difference, look at his latest Harlem video title ,I live in NYC it's still tough but it looks cleaner and gentrified vs 80s 90s
Just off the way these blocks made and these row houses like bro it ain’t even no grass in Philly and if you in a truck yo ass can’t even park them narrow ass streets
The real irony is most of the cars driving around are other youtubers. There's gotta be like 100 of these channels on youtube now. I call it the "Ghetto Safari" genre.
Honestly, I find your videos fascinating. I can't believe people in America live in neighborhoods like this. I highly doubt that I would drive though these neighborhoods.
I got a few yrs clean but I still miss the action. Philly welcomes all with open arms but the city dont like lettin people leave. I only watch a few minutes because these blocks bring back to many thoughts and emotions. Yous be safe.
stay strong be well its your choice the holy spirit will help you but its always a choice im praying that you choose to be who God meant you to be. just believe you are God's most important creation
Judging by how narrow the streets are in Philly (& New Orleans) really goes to show that most older American Cities wasn’t originally designed with larger populations in mind.
New Orleans streets are not that narrow like Philly though. You should have said Mississippi streets are narrow like Philly then you would be more accurate... It seems like every street in Philly is narrow..
Philly powers-that-be... allowed their original Center City grid to be subdivided further. Gone were town-squares and idea of William Penn PA's and Philly's founder. Was that all should also have room for a small garden (small yard) too. They got alleys turned to more crammed-in rows for poorer folk and homes all to the sidewalk and curb. No setbacks standard for fronts of some green or soaring trees. Trees getting older their roots can bother foundations so not changing much sadly even in gentrification. Just cleans it as less trash it. Too many have no backyards.... many a walk-way if lucky which WAS NOT KIND WHEN THE AUTO AGE CAME. OK if all could walk to a mill nearby to work. NOT AT ALL CAR FRIENDLY and all want cars and cram them in not even back alleys to have some in far most of the city. Add seeing those ugly power-line poles that can be in fronts. Just not aesthetically pleasing or the walk.... add parking half on sidewalks is appalling yet allowed in those narrowest of streets.
@@Badnrewzrage215 Takes high income professionals with money to gut them rows..... Good for them that desire it. Just that process is over many years and Philly was not pro-active in removing blight or even boarding up empty housing. So when gentrification came... it took years as homes got renewed and neighboring homes still were blighted till the process was more completed. So even areas your told oh its is under gentrification... see here and there and a outsider sees the blighted ones still left and.... it is a OK. That is nice with a hope it completes for you soon.
I'm so happy I left Philadelphia best decision I ever made. People living all on top of one another, no where to park. Neighbors arguing over parking spots, loud music all day and night. Kids running up and down the street can't play safe. Drug dealers on the corners shooting at the other drugs dealers at the other corner. It's nasty and dirty no body wants to clean up, people sit on they steps and porch and look at the trash in front on their sidewalk and still won't clean up.
Haha, we're in Cali and a friend JUST sent me a text saying he's sick of living in matchbox and "look at this place - cheaper than a new car here!" then proceeded to send a real estate link for somewhere in Philly that looked EXACTLY like the rusty orange box house buildings in this vid. I thought, 'wonder if Charlie has a vid from there...'. Just sent him the link to this one.😄
I’m a born & raised Philly native. This is north Philly…what you see is exactly what you get! There are however nice neighborhoods in Philly. Mt.Airy, East/West Oak Lane, Chestnut Hill.
Liberal social polices ? The US has one of the worst social safety nets in the world. Other countries have universal healthcare, education, etc. Some countries even offer free housing, and they don't have ghettos like the US does.
Countries like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland have comprehensive welfare systems that provide various forms of assistance to their residents, and they don't have ghettos like the US does
@larmondoflairallen4705 Using your logic, those countries would all be ghetto ridden S-holes, but they are some of the best countries to live in so it's got nothing to do with any "liberal policies".
Enjoy? Got to be kiddin. Saddened yes. Worst is when those zombie blocks are what people love to see.... like get a jolly from those sad and lost people with little hope and probably a short life left to be recorded and viewed..... Those I cannot watch at all. Just so sad if you have any empathy.
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
actually homie charliebo, philly looked a whole whole lot worse in the 1980s into the 1990s...graffiti-wise, abandon-buildings wise, burnt-out car carceass-wise...
No but not as close but in reference ran down buildings and things in certain areas yes in. The 80,'s 90,'s it did look like that in areas .Now a days D C. .Looks in recognizable in some areas!😢
All parts of the country have poor/slum areas. I believe the east coast has it the worst because it is more densely populated. The west coast definitely has its share it's just spread out more. Nevertheless, there are beautiful neighborhoods not too far away from these areas as well. Maybe one day Mr. Charlie will do a comparison to show the difference and the distance.
Some people don't want to improve and uplift each other and their neighborhood.I don't understand why you wouldn't want to live in peace and make life better for all.
Have you seen sad sights of Appalachia and deep south.... OMG and as high of crime as city hoods. All have guns so..... attitudes can clash and good ole bois git a bit hot. Did you see crime rates of cities in these states? Even of the city is blue.... the state is not yet hoods galore... Did you ever check out debt of cities like a booming Houston? Yes why and how for a city booming? What will happen when it slows. It cannot keep getting storms and endless FEMA $$$ pouring in from those blue states. I say Texas can vote to leave. Not cause I want it.... just if it gets to that.... No more FEMA endlessly pouring in and stealing for the cheap (less and less) Huge incentives/ tax breaks as ELON and his Billion $$ to move there. Draining wealth from cities that CREATED THEM INDUSTRIES. Lost so much to de-industrialization, move to suburbs for cheaper and ultimately ASIA for extremely cheap. Now still the sunbelt till those areas are ones that never should have had such growth. Why it was cheap and depressed for so long to remain cheap. Now aging infrastructure. Still pensions to pay even in them states and cities. As long as more keep moving it is like suburbs till they get grown out and age, schools need more and more and still paid off. New sewers and streets.... they too find taxes must rise for just local funding. Same now in sunbelt regions as taxes skyrocket with no state tax.... gotta get it from somewhere certainly not big businesss. Values of homes rise so do taxes.... THEY LOVE THOSE FOREVER HOAS a worst TAX Free states allow...... No single home should ever be in a HOA unless a retirement one or one for very rich. Yet most that gets built in a Texas and Florida is not with a added tax of HOAS forever and higher and higher insurances.... makes it pricey each year.... half of sunbelt states are poor. Those that lured northern and western industry did boom and lure transplants. Did you ever thing that it is BIG Brother that wanted us first dispersed to suburbs more during the Cold War... and know something and wanted each REGION to have a more EQUAL Population. We that has occurred... Sadly, so many areas that boom need ENDLESS FEMA money pored to cause they should not have had that populations in the first place. Were once far less seen as desirable. AC for all changed that.
The one thing about Philly hoods versus some other hoods is that there are cars everywhere. Baltimore has no cars in the hood and looks like a third world country.
Get the F outta here. How the hell you think we get around in Baltimore without cars, dummy? Philadelphia a 3rd world country with cars and dope fiends!
TF Baltimore have to do with dirty Philadelphia? Aren’t you closer to Jersey? F’ you bringing up Baltimore for? How you think we get around without cars dumba** . Philadelphia full of tight streets, dope fiends and cars🙄 Woopty damn do.
I'm sorry there is no excuse to live like this in 2024 it's disgusting, Some areas looked like the slums in Africa, Such a shame you can just imagine what these areas used to look like and how beautiful the houses were
What “great food” Philadelphia have? Only food half decent is y’all hoagies. Baltimore food still better without attractions. Y’all love bringing up Baltimore. Why y’all keep comparing your city to ours? Isn’t Philadelphia closest to Jersey?
@@rachelnan6875 lmao you’re obviously joking. Baltimore is by far the filthiest and most undesirable place in the USA. Philly has great cheesesteaks, pizza, hoagies, Italian food, and pretty much everything else. Baltimore has and smells like nasty asss Crabs. 😭 Philly is trying to change. Most of the bad housing projects have been torn down and renovated. Baltimore still has pretty much all of the same run down projects. No clue why anybody would live there. That place is literally the Wire 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No wonder Philly has a bad reputation because this is all people seem to want to show with these driving videos. There's so much more to Philly than this. Some areas look so beautiful you would think you were in Beverly Hills. It's a beautiful city with lots to do some areas are Godly awful like this one here. And it seems this guy love to advertise this section of the city. I don't know if he's trying to create a narrative that Philadelphia is all bad or what but every time he records this is what he show people and that's what people will think all the city has to offer because they're not smart enough to know that's better areas
@@JAYLOVE47 Not for you.... it is the city itself. I blame the sanitation dept. How can it not pick up bags. How can they be piled for months on lots even streets of no housing that is inhabited... yet trash trucks cannot pick it up???? Bring back more of some street-cleaning services. Sure you need to move cars. Did not Philly get rid of it over a decade ago? Does one thing a city can stay as clean without it unless individuals replace that service. Heck.... even Center City has to have its business pay for its street and sidewalk cleaning services. Sure many post can be trolling. I even did some. Just comparing city hoods always has Philly on top of list for some reasons I mentioned and too many people who do not feel it is a core value apparently.... to keep their areas free from debris.
@@brendanwilson4876 nah it was a person who would drive thru hoods just like charlie , his youtube suddenly vanished, he had over a 100 thousound subscribers 2
I was a mailman in Philly in 1998, I delivered in that area it still looks the same!
Are there nicer areas in Philly also or does everything there look the same? I never travel sorry. Just wondered.
I guess like anywhere u have the bad neighborhoods & good.

It's so sad. The architecture itself is really beautiful, but it's all falling apart.
It's such a beautiful city, rich with history. It's so sad to see it this way.
That's what 40+ years of the wealthy paying almost no taxes gets you. Why invest in anything when you can just hoard all of the money ?

And you're 100 percent right

Oh no it used to be there until people steals the trash itself

Sadly, so many areas that boom need ENDLESS FEMA money pored to cause they should not have had that populations in the first place. Were once far less seen as desirable. AC for all changed that.

The one thing about Philly hoods versus some other hoods is that there are cars everywhere. Baltimore has no cars in the hood and looks like a third world country.
Get the F outta here. How the hell you think we get around in Baltimore without cars, dummy? Philadelphia a 3rd world country with cars and dope fiends!
TF Baltimore have to do with dirty Philadelphia? Aren’t you closer to Jersey? F’ you bringing up Baltimore for? How you think we get around without cars dumba** . Philadelphia full of tight streets, dope fiends and cars🙄 Woopty damn do.
Where in Philly is this at?
Hell
I'm sorry there is no excuse to live like this in 2024 it's disgusting, Some areas looked like the slums in Africa, Such a shame you can just imagine what these areas used to look like and how beautiful the houses were
Untill the blacks arrived
No worries. The government will save you.
I run Philly.
You don’t run nothing but ya mouth 👄 you 🤡👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿💩🗑️
America has fallen, time to move to some else
Still not worse than Baltimore. At least Philly has attractions and great food. Baltimore doesn’t have a damn thing to attract visitors. 😂
This is untrue.
@@York22it's very true actually
What “great food” Philadelphia have? Only food half decent is y’all hoagies. Baltimore food still better without attractions. Y’all love bringing up Baltimore. Why y’all keep comparing your city to ours? Isn’t Philadelphia closest to Jersey?
@@York22Right!
@@rachelnan6875 lmao you’re obviously joking. Baltimore is by far the filthiest and most undesirable place in the USA. Philly has great cheesesteaks, pizza, hoagies, Italian food, and pretty much everything else. Baltimore has and smells like nasty asss Crabs. 😭 Philly is trying to change. Most of the bad housing projects have been torn down and renovated. Baltimore still has pretty much all of the same run down projects. No clue why anybody would live there. That place is literally the Wire 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No wonder Philly has a bad reputation because this is all people seem to want to show with these driving videos. There's so much more to Philly than this. Some areas look so beautiful you would think you were in Beverly Hills. It's a beautiful city with lots to do some areas are Godly awful like this one here. And it seems this guy love to advertise this section of the city. I don't know if he's trying to create a narrative that Philadelphia is all bad or what but every time he records this is what he show people and that's what people will think all the city has to offer because they're not smart enough to know that's better areas
“Beverly Hills”!!? Shiit 😂😂😂Nowhere in Philadelphia,look wise ,compared to no damn Beverly Hills.
@@rachelnan6875 either you're dumb or just trolling and I'm not going to try to figure that out
@@JAYLOVE47 Not for you.... it is the city itself. I blame the sanitation dept. How can it not pick up bags. How can they be piled for months on lots even streets of no housing that is inhabited... yet trash trucks cannot pick it up???? Bring back more of some street-cleaning services. Sure you need to move cars. Did not Philly get rid of it over a decade ago? Does one thing a city can stay as clean without it unless individuals replace that service. Heck.... even Center City has to have its business pay for its street and sidewalk cleaning services. Sure many post can be trolling. I even did some. Just comparing city hoods always has Philly on top of list for some reasons I mentioned and too many people who do not feel it is a core value apparently.... to keep their areas free from debris.
This looks like a wonderful community to raise a family! A lot of doctors and lawyers definitely come from this neck of the woods
Detroit is what a paradise of abandoned homes and criminals
You ever been here bro cause if you from Philly you got some fckin nerve 😂
Biden country....
It's been like this before Biden got in power
