Both Hmong and white. 70+ years old, and completely abandoned by our country. I bike through there and struck up a conversation more than once.

Now I see them and it’s like seeing a dog. 🐶 I still respect them of course, but I don’t freak out like I did the first time. I actually have outdoor cameras to capture all the fun animals that roam around. Meanwhile in Mpls, I actually put nails in my old storm window frames so the window would only open so far up. That way anyone breaking in would have to break the glass and thus causing noise. It’s sad that I (and anyone who is street smart) had to think of things like that.
Drove there yesterday and couldn’t believe how much graffiti I saw. Also, the grass on the side of highways was so high!! I couldn’t believe it. I remember even five years ago, it was that high and I didn’t remember seeing so much graffiti. Need new leadership in Mpls.
Minneapolis could do without the Democrats but all in all it got a lot better since the riots over the death of career criminal George Floyd. A friend and I watched Minneapolis burn for 3 days before the National Guard finally showed up. Good job Tim!! Asshole.
Remember when Hennepin Avenue looked like this? In the 50's and 60's? Every city will always have this. Location just moves. People make bad decisions and won't or can't get jobs that pay enough. Fact of life. Make sure this is not you.

Even with the rez problems in our community, at least we have nobody camping in our woods (yet!) and hundreds, if not thousands, of acres between each other and some beautiful sunrise/ sunsets over the lake & at the beach!🌅
I live north of the cities, however it doesn't make it crime free. Lived in Saint Paul until I was 25 and Anoka until 35 .. however it wasn't until we moved further out that we had a violent crime occur. A murder 2 blocks from us where a male killed his own family member in their home. Mental people are everywhere.
You can see the city is not taking care of things like they used to. More graffiti just left there.. things are starting to break down and not repaired. Things could use a cleaning or a paint job... Gradual decline of Minneapolis. But they'll vote for it again I guarantee you. Every city has crime and homeless they say... An easy dismissal.
As a citizen in Minnesota, most of my life turning 52 this year, it makes me so upset to see all the homelessness everywhere and I know this is a problem. In every state. You know it don’t matter which side you’re on. Don’t wonder how they keep sending all that money to fund bullshit wars well our country falls into poverty waltz
Hard to feel bad for people that choose to live like that because drugs are more important that clean shelters or housing where they cant allow them to use and live there
I used to live in Minnesota. Because of a joke of a mayor and Tampon Tim, Minnesota and Minneapolis are going down hill fast. I see why people are leaving Minnesota and Minneapolis to other states.
St. Paul is having a problem of encampments escalating in certain neighborhoods. The tents are being put up near railroad lines, the river areas, walking trails in downtown areas where there's big areas of grass. The majority of people in these camps just want to stay high, drink, and not actively look for work and change their lifestyles. It's a growing problem.
Still not as bad as many other cities like: Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, L.A., San. Fran., Oakland, New Orleans, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Camden, Newark, . . . and the list goes on and on.
Minneapolis way worse than LA and San Fran , Minneapolis homicide rate is 23 homicides per hundred thousand residents LA is 3.7 and san fran is 2.3 per hundred thousand residents 😂
I’ve lived here my whole life south side and north side want see tour I’ll do tour on my page and really show what’s going on because I can be in mpls and St. Paul and show u the real deal this just sample but drugs and shootings are horrible here
I grew up in MPLS,witnessed its downfall,all do to somalian refugees, nothing racist about it,the black population was happy in twin cities until u add 250k others identifying themselves as African American American . These two groups have melted together thru child birth and natural communal living,but are also still divided with hate as well. Instead of adapting to Minnesota,they made mpls adapt to them. Changing it forever,then ilhan Omar...they got representation before American.blacks here did The real "hoods" , actually dangerous places in mn are way west. Lawless and cartel ran
Exactly👍🏻 When the Somalis took over cedar riverside and then over crowded it, the state of MN started giving out, and still do, endless types of housing subsidies to them. They have moved into the suburbs living in $1,500 plus per month townhomes and newly built houses. This group, of people live better than the average working class of Minnesotans. Heck, our US veterans and MN tax payers don't get freebies like this. WTH?
Since Dumbmocrats Mayor Frey and all the new city council got voted in they turned Minneapolis to this it used to be nice and safe North Minneapolis is the worst in my opinion
Im just scared of it becoming another deal like Kensington or Seattle. The drugs and human trafficking is unreal as well. So sad. I live on the iron range and Virginia, MN is like Zombieland besides the heavy traffic of hard working tax payers and people from the cities coming up here to get away from Little Muslim and Little Somolia
People don't know what a hood is until they traveled out of state. North Mpls is candyland compared to other cities. Camden, East St. Loius, Gary, Detroit, parts of Philidelphia.

@@itsrlycold That is true,the gangs and drugs were still everywhere. And so was a lot of distressed properties,but not anymore because they get bought and then flipped.
I can’t even watch the whole video, it’s so disturbing! All the garbage, drugs, soliciting is worse than you can imagine. Support Police, stop voting for people that fund this, lock your doors and windows, don’t go anywhere alone….way to go Mpls/St Paul.
Being from the area I know it won't change under the current mayor, city council, governor. Sadly far more liberal democrats will get elected, it's been going that way for about 10-12yrs. People keep voting for activists instead of people that know how to solve problems.
My family had a business downtown Mpls since 1905. Unfortunately due to the crime, we sold the business about 5 years ago. Over half of down mpls businesses have either moved, or went out of business, just in the last five years. Thugs run the city now and the politicians have allowed this to happen.
Been living in Minnesota for more than 25 years ( more than half of my life) and really hurts to see how Minneapolis is now. I don’t judge these people because I don’t know what they have been through but it is really sad. 😔 😢😢
76 yrs old, born and raised in so mpls, central high grad , went to church on 39th and chicago one blk down from cup foods George Floyd square, was drug store back in the sixties hung out after school with friends, good times. Dont recognize it. Seems scary and sad. Have memories that will never be the same.
Instead of recording why not spread knowledge to those who want to hear it and improve them selfes??? Sometime people are put in situations that are more then they can handle alone with no support. Im sure nobody intentionally wants to live like this.
I worked at the Mpls Ht Institue @Abbott Northwestern campus for 34 yrs. Retired in 2019. I don't hardly recognize the area anymore, thanks to Walz 😮💨
Thanks to a Republican (namely Ronald Reagan), there's more homelessness (because he cut social welfare programs and shut down mental institutions) and a disappearing middle class (the wealth didn't trickle down like he said it would). 🫠
Milwaukee is my hometown my family still lives there; I lived outside of Minneapolis will be relocating out of the state. It used to be nice here 40n years ago so run down now and all the homeless ness.
Does this comment section not know what redlining did to the twin cities, what are these people talking about with "this is cause walz" did walz build a freeway directly through the city?
I live in the twin cities. Minneapolis used to be a great city. It's trashed now. Elections have consequences. The residents of Minneapolis got exactly what they voted for.
There's plenty of open wooded areas in cites and counties like Woodbury, Anoka county, Burnsville, Minnetonka and much more for these people to pitch a tent. Minnesota is full of lakes, rivers and tons of wooded forest areas. Theses people can form their own communities in these areas. It's much safer to live there than on side walks, in over crowded encampments that are full of drug addicts and criminals.
I live in Minneapolis now coming from Philadelphia little over a year now. I don't think these people would know what to do with themselves in an actual hood. Not saying I would either. But by no means would I call this ghetto lol
@@sota-br4ww you’ve got no idea; go to Cleveland, Dayton and Cincinnati and you’ll see a real difference between poverty in those cities in comparison to Minneapolis.

There are NO areas of Minneapolis that are considered hoods . The whole Twin Cities area is one big hood now .
St Paul is no better off either folks 😮
No better off how? You scared of melanin?
That's right. My truck's catalytic converter got stolen in St. Paul on a day time. Not a good place either.
No.
@@beelee9840the fact that we have to get tags for them is awful.
St. Paul is having a problem of encampments escalating in certain neighborhoods. The tents are being put up near railroad lines, the river areas, walking trails in downtown areas where there's big areas of grass. The majority of people in these camps just want to stay high, drink, and not actively look for work and change their lifestyles. It's a growing problem.
Still not as bad as many other cities like: Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, L.A., San. Fran., Oakland, New Orleans, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Camden, Newark, . . . and the list goes on and on.
No its worse.
Minneapolis must be worse than all them cities why you using them as a eample😂
Minneapolis way worse than LA and San Fran , Minneapolis homicide rate is 23 homicides per hundred thousand residents LA is 3.7 and san fran is 2.3 per hundred thousand residents 😂
How long have you lived here?
I’ve lived here my whole life south side and north side want see tour I’ll do tour on my page and really show what’s going on because I can be in mpls and St. Paul and show u the real deal this just sample but drugs and shootings are horrible here
I loved it when I was a PhD stu in the 90s. It was clean, efficient and safe, and science was real.
So sad what happened.
Minnieapolis is not as great as you think folks 😮
Yeah!.. Right!.. and niether is Minneapolis.. dingle fuck!
What’s so bad about it?
@@johnnyconsumer too much cultural enrichment
No not Minneapolis😱 Chicago and Detroit are worse
That's true. It's never safe to walk alone or at night, especially when it's getting dark.
I grew up in MPLS,witnessed its downfall,all do to somalian refugees, nothing racist about it,the black population was happy in twin cities until u add 250k others identifying themselves as African American American . These two groups have melted together thru child birth and natural communal living,but are also still divided with hate as well. Instead of adapting to Minnesota,they made mpls adapt to them. Changing it forever,then ilhan Omar...they got representation before American.blacks here did
The real "hoods" , actually dangerous places in mn are way west. Lawless and cartel ran
Exactly👍🏻
When the Somalis took over cedar riverside and then over crowded it, the state of MN started giving out, and still do, endless types of housing subsidies to them. They have moved into the suburbs living in $1,500 plus per month townhomes and newly built houses. This group, of people live better than the average working class of Minnesotans. Heck, our US veterans and MN tax payers don't get freebies like this. WTH?
@@tennamurfett7158 I hear ya. Then every other group has done fairly good. Northeast got bought and cleaned up to an extent. People were proud
@@tennamurfett7158work instead of complaining I work 70 plus hours a week live in my car for now I save 10,000 every month
They are masters at fraud. You name a way to bilk the taxpayer, they’ve done it, and are still doing it.
Where is the downfall?
Since Dumbmocrats Mayor Frey and all the new city council got voted in they turned Minneapolis to this it used to be nice and safe North Minneapolis is the worst in my opinion
@@konglee2339 I really don't think you know what you're talking about.
This is happening to all the large liberal cities, the facts speak speak for themselves.
This time of year, the urine has a faint pumpkin spice odor to it
😂👏👏
This is a homelessness and drug problem, which has plagued the entire country.
Im just scared of it becoming another deal like Kensington or Seattle. The drugs and human trafficking is unreal as well. So sad. I live on the iron range and Virginia, MN is like Zombieland besides the heavy traffic of hard working tax payers and people from the cities coming up here to get away from Little Muslim and Little Somolia
People don't know what a hood is until they traveled out of state. North Mpls is candyland compared to other cities. Camden, East St. Loius, Gary, Detroit, parts of Philidelphia.
This what twin cities keeps voting for and putting up with.
Mpls looks like this and Walz gets elected VP nominee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Walz didn't get elected he was selected by Harris who was selected by Biden. We have the worst and most underhanded Democratic run government in the US at this point in time. 😡
@@eliteexposure5594 If he gets elected, our once beautiful country is going to look like a 3rd world toilet.
@@hollydugal5299 They dont have toilets in 3rd world countries 🤣
@@eliteexposure5594 The direction this place is going, we will no have toilets. We will be going to crapping in our streets. I already see folks crapping in our streets,along with drug needles. Welcome to the land of needles and 💩
@@eliteexposure5594 Welcome to the land of drug needles and poop!!! The direction we are going, we will no longer have toilets.
Welcome to the Demmokkkrat world.
💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯
I fucking hate it here. I wanna go back home to South Minn. this is an epidemic. None of the rest of “beautiful MN” means shit because of this. Everyone in these comments are so on point.
Live in a north part of Minneapolis , most of us never go into the downtown or inner parts unless you have to.
Yeah, who would wnt to, with the constant construction and depressing AF stores.. what few there are, that is
im really curious what "a north part" of mpls is. theres over north and over south. and where u live is a lot more dangerous than downtown unless youre just a liar
Yeah because the constant construction am I rrght?
Plus it depresses those of us that knew what downtown used to be and how shit it is now
north and riverside and st. paul have changed so much 😢 fent has taken over and just poorness in general.
Where in St. Paul? I'm all around it weekly north, south, east, and west, and I don't see anything but beautiful development, some of you guys are delusional.
@@lionelhowell4972 most of these people have never been to other, way more troubled cities which are only a state over and travel to minneapolis 2 times a year for vikings games. the comments talking about how great it was in the 90s are by far the most delusional it was BAD back then lol
@@itsrlycold That is true,the gangs and drugs were still everywhere. And so was a lot of distressed properties,but not anymore because they get bought and then flipped.
Tim Walz and DFL policies did this.
Bologna.
@NSB2 Is that what your brain is made of? Nobody cares.
I can’t even watch the whole video, it’s so disturbing! All the garbage, drugs, soliciting is worse than you can imagine. Support Police, stop voting for people that fund this, lock your doors and windows, don’t go anywhere alone….way to go Mpls/St Paul.
I have a choice to go or not go. The people who can’t move have no choice.
no pride or consequences for actions.
I live in Minnesota!! Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸. Minnesota has gone to hell !!! Thanks to Walz!!!🤬
Being from the area I know it won't change under the current mayor, city council, governor. Sadly far more liberal democrats will get elected, it's been going that way for about 10-12yrs. People keep voting for activists instead of people that know how to solve problems.
My family had a business downtown Mpls since 1905. Unfortunately due to the crime, we sold the business about 5 years ago. Over half of down mpls businesses have either moved, or went out of business, just in the last five years. Thugs run the city now and the politicians have allowed this to happen.
Been living in Minnesota for more than 25 years ( more than half of my life) and really hurts to see how Minneapolis is now. I don’t judge these people because I don’t know what they have been through but it is really sad. 😔 😢😢
And the governor as well!
76 yrs old, born and raised in so mpls, central high grad , went to church on 39th and chicago one blk down from cup foods George Floyd square, was drug store back in the sixties hung out after school with friends, good times. Dont recognize it. Seems scary and sad. Have memories that will never be the same.
Instead of recording why not spread knowledge to those who want to hear it and improve them selfes??? Sometime people are put in situations that are more then they can handle alone with no support. Im sure nobody intentionally wants to live like this.
Minnesota has voted democratic far to long,,why? Please wise up people!
At least winter cleans out a bunch of these campers.
I worked at the Mpls Ht Institue @Abbott Northwestern campus for 34 yrs. Retired in 2019. I don't hardly recognize the area anymore, thanks to Walz 😮💨
Thank a democrat
are you saying there's no homelessness in Republican run cities?
Yep. Thank a democrat for a mostly beautiful city with a declining crime rate and declining homeless population.
@@Mellie you’re delusional
Thanks to a Republican (namely Ronald Reagan), there's more homelessness (because he cut social welfare programs and shut down mental institutions) and a disappearing middle class (the wealth didn't trickle down like he said it would). 🫠
Our state needs to do better
Murderapolis
the start of your video is my scooter ride to work. i can take either cedar or franlkin. both directions have been overrun with homeless lol.
Shyt I’m glad Milwaukee don’t look like this it’s dangerous but this is out of hand 😅
Milwaukee is my hometown my family still lives there; I lived outside of Minneapolis will be relocating out of the state. It used to be nice here 40n years ago so run down now and all the homeless ness.
I was born and raised in Minneapolis. It’s not the same city i once lived in. I feel very sad at the direction it’s gone.
Very sad and disgusting! Mpls was once a beautiful city, not anymore!😢
Does this comment section not know what redlining did to the twin cities, what are these people talking about with "this is cause walz" did walz build a freeway directly through the city?
I live in the twin cities. Minneapolis used to be a great city. It's trashed now.
Elections have consequences. The residents of Minneapolis got exactly what they voted for.
There's plenty of open wooded areas in cites and counties like Woodbury, Anoka county, Burnsville, Minnetonka and much more for these people to pitch a tent. Minnesota is full of lakes, rivers and tons of wooded forest areas. Theses people can form their own communities in these areas. It's much safer to live there than on side walks, in over crowded encampments that are full of drug addicts and criminals.
What makes you think those residents want to deal with this? There's a reason some people don't want to live in an urban setting.
This is a wussy city. You guys are soft.
Minneapolis is top 5 in dangerous cities list. Your city isnt more dangerous clown
I live in Minneapolis now coming from Philadelphia little over a year now. I don't think these people would know what to do with themselves in an actual hood. Not saying I would either. But by no means would I call this ghetto lol
@@quyle9483 ur actually sped. get help. Mpls is worst then what u can imagine go to north or southside leave uptown & Northeast for once
@@kkoch666 you never been to mpls clown. Your city not half as tough
@@sota-br4ww you’ve got no idea; go to Cleveland, Dayton and Cincinnati and you’ll see a real difference between poverty in those cities in comparison to Minneapolis.
Well, can't wait until winter! 😂 Minneapolis is a shit hole.

Minneapolis was never ever that bad
its hard to even recoginize mpls…. so sad this city used to be full of life!!!!
The final few minutes you were in the Camden areas of North Minneapolis, not as rough as South.
Can we get a night version of mpls
I guess you can find lazy people in every single State now..
get a job and become a good productive citizen, who is healthy for society.
The future Little Mogadishu ll, new Somali suburbs of Minneapolis.
It’s BS!!!
Twin cities become their world country.
living there a decade ago was manageable. our car and garage got broken into a couple of times, but it wasn't this bad. happy to say we have moved out of hennipen county.
