I know. There's way more hoods than just George Street and Dundas and Sherbourne. Downtown Toronto goes from Lansdowne in the west all the way east to Broadview. Then you got the inner city suburbs (North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York and York). Then you got the GTA.
The poorest areas used to be mixed. But over time others moved away and mostly black people stayed. Now it’s like a US inner city of black and brown people in poor areas. It’s weird because most black people are from the Caribbean or Africa 1/2 generation. But they just now feel disenfranchised as American black people, but without the same history
@@retromario6130 black neighhoods in Chicago never used to be mixed once blacks moved in everyone moved out aka segregation Chicago is the most segregated city in the USA
I live in the Toronto area and must agree, there are some larger/more dangerous hoods - Rexdale, Jane and Finch, swaths of Scarborough (technically still part o.f TO). But you did hit some of the city’s rougher areas too. An observation I’ve made with comparing Toronto to Chicago is that Toronto is diverse and so are the hoods and American cities are dirty. Even in some of Toronto’s sketchy areas, they’re not littered with trash everywhere.
You can walk around schools that have low rating in the Toronto area - junk food, cups, boxes from McDonalds - coyotes are coming in North York. I still think you are right but I want to cry seeing how easily and without second thinking kids throw their junk food on the street in Ontario
Toronto is nowhere near better than chicago dumbass chicago is neat and has no trash and toronto has no culture chicagobdoes yall not even diverse like chicago is chicago is more iconic than toronto ,Toronto is just a city trying to fit in nobody gaf about Toronto until you guys got bored and egotistical and started talking shit about chicago and nyc people will recognize Chicago more than toronto thats how iconic Chi is Chicago theres nothing iconic and legendary about Toronto compares to chicago Chicago and NYC are the most recognized cities in the world and if it wasnt for Chicago theed would be no such thing as skyscrapers nobody gaf about Canada or toronto we have more culture chicago has people of all races
you don't have to explain to real T.O people that Scarborough is part of Toronto. It's these Peel Region, York Region, Durham Region dweebs that say otherwise.
@Billy Thorsonthere's still alot of bad parts almost all the apartments in the area are in horrible condition full of roaches and not to mention the hotspots like Shoreham court or grandravine for shootings
Being a resident of both city's of more than 10 yrs. I can 1000% say Chicago hood is tremendously worse than Toronto. I would even say its unfair comparison. Plus if you really wanna see a hood in Toronto u go to Jane & Finch or venture over to Scarborough
@Kay Flip Chicago isn’t even in the Top 20’s, it’s not the worse in the U.S but it’s bad just not the worse.. you guys watch too many movies man. St Louis for it’s population is WORSE than Chicago. St Louis has 262 homicides for a population of 293K. St Louis is the only city with third world country homicide rates. St Louis will end the year of 2020 as the murder capital. Next time compare populations.
@@rollinrichtoronto4440 lol thats because chicago has good suburbs and 10x the population than STL if u want to compare the hoods like west garfield and north lawndale vs some of stls worst hoods
I keep hearing about Jane and Finch, however that is a big drive from downtown. It is a half hour from the cn tower driving on expressways at 90 km an hour. Everything is called Toronto these days but I think of Toronto as “Old Toronto”...and a depiction should include Parkdale ....but it is hard to find anything that looks seedy because the city is so expensive. A good area is only minutes away from what anyone would characterize as a bad area.
No east st louis Illinois had a murder rate of 137 per 100l for 2020 that is most definitely a city that surpasses Mexico's worst cities for murder rates
@Al-Qaeda Clan yea facts in the usa you guys have whole areas that are poor, in Toronto it’s more like New York we’re you have project buildings blocks away from million dollar condos
@Al-Qaeda Clan there aren't slum areas like in Philly or bmore but there are hoods that are bad like driftwood because there full of apartments that falling apart, full of roaches, robberys, drugs and gangs. Even though there isn't shootings like in the States stiff still happens like the 12 year old who got killed there from a gang shootout cross fire. Also shootings are concentrated in these projects something like 20% of all homicide Toronto community housing
I lived in Weston and play tennis around Trethewy. Thinking they may be featuring Toronto proper which are the original boroughs. My guess is Parkdale where I grew up. I can’t remember the inner city area that I used to teach swimming. I lived in Rexdale as well. I don’t t think he is featuring the gta. It is accurate. Toronto is multi cultural with 51 percent of the people born outside of the country which is something I like. If you didn’t know the areas well it is hard to discern a rough area. He also didn’t visit High Park, Forest Hill or Swansea.
@@johnwick9407 hoods is a shortening of the word neighbourhood. Jane/finch is not in Toronto proper. Rexdale is not in Toronto proper. Do a search for Toronto proper. My suggestion is that the person was covering Toronto proper. Granted Forest hill is not the worst hood...and looking at the topic my bad. I believe he has covered Toronto Proper which covers I think 13 original boroughs. It used to be defined as the Humber river being the border to the west but that changed to Jane street about 16 years ago. To the North would be the 401. My cousin who lived in Etobicoke was unaware of the term. Sending a letter to Etobicoke putting Toronto would get there. I said “Toronto Proper”...that is different from saying Toronto. When you look it up I think you will understand what I was referring. I have realized that most don’t know the term. From now on I will expand to say original boroughs.
Things i like about Toronto is that it is so diverse you walk in the hood you see Africans Americans Jamaicans somalis ppl from the middle east and asians , but in the us it’s just african Americans lol
@@oldsmobilethompson1658 All agreed here too. There are so few 'hoods' to show in Canada. And half of the ones that we do have are already marked for demolition as high rise condos n offices are replacing them, so there will be even less of them.
@JupitersTruth Bond lol west garfield per capita in murder is on par with somalia and this dude was on the southside the west and eastside probably have the worst poverty and stop comparing chicago to dirty somalia
I said this on Charlie's first vid of Toronto. You can not compare American cities to Canadian cities, the designs of the cities from there core are completely different. In the states cities were designed with ghettos in mind. They have entire communities where only the poor live and entire communities where only the rich live. Its based on segregation. Its not like that in Canada. No doubt there are rich and poor areas but in large our communities follow mixed planning. Within one building you will find rich at the top, middle class in the middle and poor on the bottom. This is true for most areas. In toronto TCHC (Toronto community housing) is in the suburbs. You have an upper middle class street that has people living on government assistance on the otherwise of the fence. This is by design. Its to integrate everyone into a unified culture/identity. For the most part it works but with so much immigration in torotno it is inevitable we will have pocket communities based on demographics since new immigrants stick to there communities. Still you won't find hoods in Canada like you do in the states. The youth can yell about them in the comments all the won't, they don't exist... im a planning student I know.
Thanks for showing off my city. Our hoods don't stretch too far from government cooperatives. We try our best here to provide help to our poorest people by providing them with cheap housing & social aid. Its very easy for poor neighbourhoods to get forgotten like in Chiacgo or Winnipeg. Looks can be deceiving though! With all those addicts on the streets comes the gangs who sell the drugs to them and run the corners. Eastside downtown can be pretty damn seedy
I noticed the hoods in Canada are less more run down than American hoods the most powerfullist country in the world the people are human not animals but sometimes it can't be helped both beautiful countries in the world everybody deserves better 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

over all ya Canada is interesting. Just as diverse in Ottawa where i live. Smaller population but same make up of people . Less grimey looking then T.O.
Canadian cities definitely don't have hoods like the states. I'm Canadian, have been to both (lived in North Philly for a few months), and it's just a different situation. Canadian hoods are still dangerous, but they're not going to be the size of a whole small city, be full of vacants, and just straight up not have cops going into them until someone gets shot.
Unfair.. this is like saying Cambridge MA vs Memphis TN. Toronto’s crime rate should be compared with NYC’s since there’s been many yrs where they were super-close!

NYC's crime rate is nowhere close to gang bang city of the world Chicago do your research Chicago is by far the hoodest city in all north America due to murder rates
@@funkychicken9937 chicago is actually one of the safer big cities with a pop over 3 mil and 400,000 of them living in poverty in one or two parts of a huge city definitely can exacerbate living conditions, in those specific areas which makes some of chicagos neighborhoods some of the worse but because the cities so huge statistically u got a higher chance of being assaulted or shoot in new orleans just by walking around than u typically would in Chicago minus a few areas
The history of both of the two cities are very similar. Originally, older cities such as New York or Montreal were the hubs of each country. Further expansion westward happened at similar times for each countries, and Toronto & Chicago were established around the same time
I agree there are similarities in post war government architecture but there is unique architecture in both such as Mayan administrative buildings in Chicago and toronto bay and gable which is the dominant freehold detached style in the core. the residential of Chicago is legendary too...frank Lloyd wright
@@OnlyOneHunnidsTorontos hoods are not necessarily safe, they’re just less dangerous than Chicago hoods. At the end of the day, PLENTY of people get shot, stabbed and murdered in hoods all over Toronto
The areas shown in this video aren't really the "hoods" of the 6ix. Only small part of the video showed an area this is a hood but it's half been gentrified already 2:46 mark. As you can see the buildings on the left are projects, but the new white coloured building on right is what's replacing them. Most of the projects are are outside the downtown core, and you actually have to go into them.
IMO this is what I see when I see the two types of hoods in both countries. Canadian hoods: drugs, poverty, petty crimes, robbery, some gangs. US hoods: gangs, violence, poverty, drugs, deep rooted racism. US hoods are based a lot off of systemic racism and poor healthcare. Canadian hoods are based off of poverty and drugs. Obviously there is still some systemic racism in Canada as well. The quality of life is way better in Canada then in the US.

Chicago architecture looks to be much older than Toronto, there's tons more vacant structures, vacant lots, littered streets, the people hanging around and wandering the streets appear much younger than the folks out in Toronto. I wonder why Toronto and Chicago have similar housing structures, but these structures were skipped in Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and Grand Rapids
Anything left vacant here, land, buildings, will just quickly be scooped up by a developer for more condos and offices. So yeah this is quite different. The few we do have are already marked for massive condos to go up! We are undergoing a massive development boom same as the US when it boomed pre-ww2. So everything is busy and things are being developed all over.

Because Toronto is a booming city fueled by immigration and lack of competition (cause of weather and geography) while Chicago is a city of losing population cause people in the US move out to cheaper states (doesn't happen in Canada cause options are limited). Think of Toronto as a blend of Chicago and Miami/Seattle. Immigration is dead in the US when your account for the large population it has and even by Western standards.
Just show up and take a look at all the construction. The 'hoods' you saw that we do have won't even be there after a few years. Hundreds of high condos n offices are going up. It's just gonna be one massive CBD. So yeah, damn clean place to be. Quite expensive tho!
Toronto inner suburb hoods look like middle/upper middle income areas of cities like Chicago/Boston. People who don't know the city wouldn't even notice this was a bad part of town. Lower Sherbourne/moss park is as close as it gets to 'worst looking part of town' title. Even then, it's already getting gentrified.
@@andrewpetrov5508 moss park ain't the worst looking at all Shoreham court, clear view heights, flemigton Rd and many are way worse looking moss park is just really bad for drug addicts everywhere
Exactly what I was thinking. He was just driving around east downtown Toronto. He went by regent park and moss park which are “the hood” but he didn’t go into them just drove past n filmed some crackheads.
As a Torontonian I have to say that Hamilton has really cleaned up its reputation. We tend to think you guys are cool place now where edgy, bohemian, artistic types are moving. Hope to take the train and visit someday, I work in the film biz and there is a lot of stuff filming there
Because those were just relatively normal neighborhoods with a few bad elements. The Chicago ones were real "hoods". That being said, there are worse places in Toronto than the ones in the video. And much better places in Chicago than what was presented.
Hehe I used to live in the co-op apartments across the street from Fillmores when I was a kid, (It's the red brick building next to the new construction which used to be Hilton Hotel). Never realized it was a strip club until I grew up. I always wondered why it was so noisy outside on George Street at night when I was trying to sleep.

Toronto even in the higher crime areas are still no where as bad as some areas in the states or Mexico. But some buildings I have seen over 50 years old around Toronto look like they are in HORRBILE shape and not maintained very well. I think those aging buildings should be demolished and new buildings should be built to replace them.
@@ExtremeComments9 that tall building across the mall I forget what is called in jnf looks good from outside but probably a shithole inside. Some of driftwood is dirty af and connections too some buildings are ghetto af.
@MAZAPAN we aren’t comparing slums of South and central America or DR but south side Chicago vs Toronto and I been to both😙there is no slums in Toronto 😂
This isn't a hood nowadays. This was gentrified years ago with condos flooding the place. The real hoods are spread out in the different boroughs of the city.

Besides Regent Park you didn't really show any hoods in Toronto, Scarborough (east end) is pretty fucked up than North York and Etobicoke have some pretty fucked up spots too. You mainly just showed Regent Park (Downtown) and the area surrounding it where all the homeless shelters are.
By what measure? The number of shootings has increased by over a 100% since 2014. Toronto has lost much of its Canadian character, that may not be a big deal to someone like you, but it is to those of us that have deep roots here.
@@carlinthomas9482 I'm curious what "Canadian character" even if the country wasn't already inhabited by natives, Canada was founded by immigration. It never has and never will be a homogenous society.
@@mcnutty7125 Canada was founded in a similar fashion to how most countries were founded (only later), by settlers. Canada's character is a unique blend of French, British, Metis-First Nation, and American. I never said the country had to be homogeneous? Though as recent as 1971 the country was 96% White and about 84% White in 2001. Some diversity can actually be enriching, but too much will destroy the character of the country. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

It' s true. I know these areas and we aint got 'hoods' I walk through them any time and you couldn't be afraid of aything. All this is one massive area now under construction and to eventually be completely replaced by offices and condos. It won't even be a 'hood' anymore. they are doubling the size of our downtowns's CBD and all this old stuff will be replaced with high rises.
@@NomadCanadian lol sorry but you have no idea what your talking about, your acting like regent park is the only bad area in Toronto probably because your just some family man that has to pass there on the way to work we have bad areas and the same logic your using applied to any “hood” if your not involved you won’t get touched but you may get robbed in the area like I have in the past
They actually look somewhat similar but of course I'm sure Chicago is much more dangerous. I wonder if Toronto has a bigger homelessness population. What's your take between the two, Charlie?
Toronto seems like it has more homeless especially in that specific area shown here. I compared them because they are very similar in size and population. Chicago is clearly far more dangerous and looks worse. But I think some people in the comments are overdoing it acting like Toronto appears to be paradise in these areas shown. The vibes are very different, you don't have that same sense of danger in the worst areas like in Chicago, but as far as the worst areas in both cities there are more differences in the vibes coming from the people than the way it looks.
@6ix7even ? that makes no sense Toronto had less than 100 murders in 2019 an NYC had over 300 in 2019 and regardless NYC is one of the safest cities in the US so what’s your point? Chicago in 2020 has had more murders in July alone than Toronto did in all of 2019 an Chicago is a smaller city than Toronto. Also chicago isn’t even in the top 15 most dangerous cities in the US. The reason why I’m comparing is because you coming at me thinking your city is bad when it’s not which is a good thing
@6ix7even ? Nigga you said Toronto’s homicide count was more than NYC 2018 an it wasn’t boi do you know what a homicide count is nigga? You clearly don’t.

Well east downtown is about as 'rough looking' as you will even get, and that is while it si still there, pending massive transformation into a massive number of new high rise projects.

This is 100% right though. Why? cuz the few remaining 'hoods' ARE becoming 'millionaire paradises'. These areas are being torn down as we speak as high rise condos and offices are going up all over Toronto, and these few hood areas are coming down to make way for all this development and construction. millionaires will be living in brand new condos years from now where you now see this.
And this was filmed god knows when. They are making rapid progress initiating more and more of these construction projects so it's all turning into shiny new buildings as we speak!
I could easily say the Chicago houses at 11:23 look like a millionaire paradise. Single detached homes, multiple stories, victorian era architecture. Silly argument comparing snippets to snippets
It is, and just keeps getting cleaner. They are in the process of having the worst 'hoods' that we do have, turned into massive developments. high rise condos, offices, whole thing is just going to be a rich area with new businesses so any dirtiness just keeps getting less and less. It's getting really modern here now.
Yeah there's one thing about Chicago everybody knows that it has certain neighborhoods. but Toronto seems to have this worldwide reputation of being Toronto the great which it is not because it's a absolute disgusting cesspool if you know it well enough and live here.
It ain't on Chicago's levels but Toronto is messed up with the gangs and hood activities. Most of the shit is in the West End or East End. Charlie was driving downtown in the gentrification areas. You wanna hit up Rexdale, Jane St. Weston Rd, Jungle, Galloway, Malvern and dem places. Not downtown though there are a few blocks downtown too. Link up with a local that knows the city.
Toronto's murder rate is literally a 2... The city is not messed up at all, the shit that happens there literally happens everywhere else in the world.
Canadians don’t understand what a real hood is. Our hoods are so rough 5 guys from Detroit can put this hood on lockdown and make them pay taxes to a guy called the deuce for there safety
We don't understand first hand, and we don't claim to (or even want to) other than by watching these videos hahaha. We will gladly stay in our functioning cities, thanks 😂
Lol worst hoods? Yeah ok that was basically 1 hood... drove up the same street twice and same alley. Across the street are multi million dollar townhouses and condos. Way off the mark on this one. You literally drove by my house. Twice. Im revising my comment. You drove around my hood the whole time. Dundas and Sherbourne up to Parliament. Cabbagetown is all multi million dollar homes. On Dundas st. Its shit....
Boston is similarly clean and maintained well like Toronto. Even though Canada's politics got a play in it, Ontario would have to carry it on tho if that were the case tbh
Toronto might have some sketchy areas that might make one feel a bit uneasy, especially at night but there are no hoods. No areas are off limits for walking around but one area just east of Yonge around Dundas is truly crappy, but it has improved greatly as you continue east.
Yes I agree, no actual hoods. Even the east downtown area just feels normal walking in it. Only thing not normal is how much development it actually has. It's being rapidly taken up by high rise condos n stuff so the last remaining place close to a 'hood' is just turning into yet another affluent and business area.

I know. There's way more hoods than just George Street and Dundas and Sherbourne. Downtown Toronto goes from Lansdowne in the west all the way east to Broadview. Then you got the inner city suburbs (North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York and York). Then you got the GTA.
There is hoods in Toronto u bozo
Y’all hoods look so nice anyways where I’m from it’s ugly and scary can’t walk in a certain block there’s like 30 dudes East LA 😈
This guy went down all of Toronto’s crack alleys not a single hood ... learn the city before you start misrepresenting it.
That is a good point, these are the alleys behind the homes, not the streets the homes are on.
Not sure if you guys watched it past that point of the video...he continues to drive through the streets and around the neighborhood
@@doccholo905 is not hood at all
@@doccholo905 and those neighborhoods aren’t the hoods they jus places where crackheads chill at lmao
He was doing downtown Toronto.
I noticed that the hoods in Toronto consist of a mixture of races whereas the ones in Chicago do not.
True.The mid west is really segregated and a Toronto is the most diverse city on earth.
The poorest areas used to be mixed. But over time others moved away and mostly black people stayed. Now it’s like a US inner city of black and brown people in poor areas. It’s weird because most black people are from the Caribbean or Africa 1/2 generation. But they just now feel disenfranchised as American black people, but without the same history
There is no canadien left in Toronto. Maybe 2%
@@retromario6130 black neighhoods in Chicago never used to be mixed once blacks moved in everyone moved out aka segregation Chicago is the most segregated city in the USA
@@BizzLeVrai and where did you pull this number from?
I live in the Toronto area and must agree, there are some larger/more dangerous hoods - Rexdale, Jane and Finch, swaths of Scarborough (technically still part o.f TO). But you did hit some of the city’s rougher areas too. An observation I’ve made with comparing Toronto to Chicago is that Toronto is diverse and so are the hoods and American cities are dirty. Even in some of Toronto’s sketchy areas, they’re not littered with trash everywhere.
You can walk around schools that have low rating in the Toronto area - junk food, cups, boxes from McDonalds - coyotes are coming in North York. I still think you are right but I want to cry seeing how easily and without second thinking kids throw their junk food on the street in Ontario
Toronto is nowhere near better than chicago dumbass chicago is neat and has no trash and toronto has no culture chicagobdoes yall not even diverse like chicago is chicago is more iconic than toronto ,Toronto is just a city trying to fit in nobody gaf about Toronto until you guys got bored and egotistical and started talking shit about chicago and nyc people will recognize Chicago more than toronto thats how iconic Chi is Chicago theres nothing iconic and legendary about Toronto compares to chicago Chicago and NYC are the most recognized cities in the world and if it wasnt for Chicago theed would be no such thing as skyscrapers nobody gaf about Canada or toronto we have more culture chicago has people of all races
you don't have to explain to real T.O people that Scarborough is part of Toronto. It's these Peel Region, York Region, Durham Region dweebs that say otherwise.
These “hoods” they were showing aren’t even close to the bad parts of Toronto..
Came here to say this, wtf
Go to jane and finch if u want the hood
@Billy Thorson
Only because there are more non-black people moving in and are making that area less ghetto and shitty.
@@keezy1340 ikr lol
@Billy Thorsonthere's still alot of bad parts almost all the apartments in the area are in horrible condition full of roaches and not to mention the hotspots like Shoreham court or grandravine for shootings
Being a resident of both city's of more than 10 yrs. I can 1000% say Chicago hood is tremendously worse than Toronto. I would even say its unfair comparison. Plus if you really wanna see a hood in Toronto u go to Jane & Finch or venture over to Scarborough
@Kay Flip That's a lie. Chicago's murder rate is similar to other large US cities. It is St Louis that is the highest murder rate, not chicago
@Kay Flip Chicago isn’t even in the Top 20’s, it’s not the worse in the U.S but it’s bad just not the worse.. you guys watch too many movies man. St Louis for it’s population is WORSE than Chicago. St Louis has 262 homicides for a population of 293K. St Louis is the only city with third world country homicide rates. St Louis will end the year of 2020 as the murder capital. Next time compare populations.
@@rollinrichtoronto4440 lol thats because chicago has good suburbs and 10x the population than STL if u want to compare the hoods like west garfield and north lawndale vs some of stls worst hoods
I keep hearing about Jane and Finch, however that is a big drive from downtown. It is a half hour from the cn tower driving on expressways at 90 km an hour.
Everything is called Toronto these days but I think of Toronto as “Old Toronto”...and a depiction should include Parkdale ....but it is hard to find anything that looks seedy because the city is so expensive. A good area is only minutes away from what anyone would characterize as a bad area.
No east st louis Illinois had a murder rate of 137 per 100l for 2020 that is most definitely a city that surpasses Mexico's worst cities for murder rates
He didn’t really go to the hood in Toronto, next time Charlie go to driftwood, bleecker, rexdale, lane, Weston trethewy, jungle
@Al-Qaeda Clan yea facts in the usa you guys have whole areas that are poor, in Toronto it’s more like New York we’re you have project buildings blocks away from million dollar condos
@Al-Qaeda Clan there aren't slum areas like in Philly or bmore but there are hoods that are bad like driftwood because there full of apartments that falling apart, full of roaches, robberys, drugs and gangs. Even though there isn't shootings like in the States stiff still happens like the 12 year old who got killed there from a gang shootout cross fire. Also shootings are concentrated in these projects something like 20% of all homicide Toronto community housing
I lived in Weston and play tennis around Trethewy. Thinking they may be featuring Toronto proper which are the original boroughs. My guess is Parkdale where I grew up. I can’t remember the inner city area that I used to teach swimming. I lived in Rexdale as well. I don’t t think he is featuring the gta. It is accurate. Toronto is multi cultural with 51 percent of the people born outside of the country which is something I like. If you didn’t know the areas well it is hard to discern a rough area. He also didn’t visit High Park, Forest Hill or Swansea.
@@quasimodem5260 cuz high park and forest hills aren’t the hood, and Weston and the other hoods I named are not in the gta they’re in Toronto so wym
@@johnwick9407 hoods is a shortening of the word neighbourhood. Jane/finch is not in Toronto proper. Rexdale is not in Toronto proper. Do a search for Toronto proper. My suggestion is that the person was covering Toronto proper. Granted Forest hill is not the worst hood...and looking at the topic my bad. I believe he has covered Toronto Proper which covers I think 13 original boroughs. It used to be defined as the Humber river being the border to the west but that changed to Jane street about 16 years ago. To the North would be the 401. My cousin who lived in Etobicoke was unaware of the term. Sending a letter to Etobicoke putting Toronto would get there. I said “Toronto Proper”...that is different from saying Toronto. When you look it up I think you will understand what I was referring. I have realized that most don’t know the term. From now on I will expand to say original boroughs.
There's 10 times more litter in Chicago.
Today’s litter = tomorrow’s artifacts.
I disagree
Good for them 😂
@@SSmith-sx3ff what do u disagree in?
You should see Philly... Are mattresses, car tires, and junkies considered litter? Because, they are strewn about everywhere...
Things i like about Toronto is that it is so diverse you walk in the hood you see Africans Americans Jamaicans somalis ppl from the middle east and asians , but in the us it’s just african Americans lol
The arabs and Koreans run a lot of the businesses there
There are more whites on the streets in these parts of downtown Toronto. I live in the city, trust me when I tell you that.
It’s not really that diverse in Toronto hoods. The hoods are mostly made up of blacks and arabs
Naw you got mexicans too
U forgetting that theres tons of Latino hoods too
This is like debating rural Sweden vs Somalia
I agree
@@oldsmobilethompson1658 All agreed here too. There are so few 'hoods' to show in Canada. And half of the ones that we do have are already marked for demolition as high rise condos n offices are replacing them, so there will be even less of them.
Chicago is Beverly Hills compared to Somalia or anywhere in Africa
@JupitersTruth Bond lol west garfield per capita in murder is on par with somalia and this dude was on the southside the west and eastside probably have the worst poverty and stop comparing chicago to dirty somalia
Canada is the shittier version of America. Except some places
this should be called “drove around the east end for 3 mins”
I said this on Charlie's first vid of Toronto. You can not compare American cities to Canadian cities, the designs of the cities from there core are completely different. In the states cities were designed with ghettos in mind. They have entire communities where only the poor live and entire communities where only the rich live. Its based on segregation. Its not like that in Canada. No doubt there are rich and poor areas but in large our communities follow mixed planning. Within one building you will find rich at the top, middle class in the middle and poor on the bottom. This is true for most areas. In toronto TCHC (Toronto community housing) is in the suburbs. You have an upper middle class street that has people living on government assistance on the otherwise of the fence. This is by design. Its to integrate everyone into a unified culture/identity. For the most part it works but with so much immigration in torotno it is inevitable we will have pocket communities based on demographics since new immigrants stick to there communities. Still you won't find hoods in Canada like you do in the states. The youth can yell about them in the comments all the won't, they don't exist... im a planning student I know.
Ur a planning student not in the hood stfu
Thanks for showing off my city. Our hoods don't stretch too far from government cooperatives. We try our best here to provide help to our poorest people by providing them with cheap housing & social aid. Its very easy for poor neighbourhoods to get forgotten like in Chiacgo or Winnipeg. Looks can be deceiving though! With all those addicts on the streets comes the gangs who sell the drugs to them and run the corners. Eastside downtown can be pretty damn seedy

Canadian cities definitely don't have hoods like the states. I'm Canadian, have been to both (lived in North Philly for a few months), and it's just a different situation. Canadian hoods are still dangerous, but they're not going to be the size of a whole small city, be full of vacants, and just straight up not have cops going into them until someone gets shot.
yeah
There are blocks in the US where people literally shoot at police cars going by.
Guy literally just went to any place in Toronto with graffiti, he didn’t go to the actual hoods, go to Regent park, or even Driftwood ya yute!
Lol
Unfair.. this is like saying Cambridge MA vs Memphis TN. Toronto’s crime rate should be compared with NYC’s since there’s been many yrs where they were super-close!

@@funkychicken9937 chicago is actually one of the safer big cities with a pop over 3 mil and 400,000 of them living in poverty in one or two parts of a huge city definitely can exacerbate living conditions, in those specific areas which makes some of chicagos neighborhoods some of the worse but because the cities so huge statistically u got a higher chance of being assaulted or shoot in new orleans just by walking around than u typically would in Chicago minus a few areas
Toronto and Chicago architecture look super similar
The history of both of the two cities are very similar. Originally, older cities such as New York or Montreal were the hubs of each country. Further expansion westward happened at similar times for each countries, and Toronto & Chicago were established around the same time
Toronto > Chicgao
I been to Chitown there downtown is beautiful tho
I agree there are similarities in post war government architecture but there is unique architecture in both such as Mayan administrative buildings in Chicago and toronto bay and gable which is the dominant freehold detached style in the core. the residential of Chicago is legendary too...frank Lloyd wright
@@Amir_Khosrowshahi yeah the bay and gables are beautiful here. Hard to find anywhere else
Toronto does look sort of similar to a lot of mid western and north eastern cities.
Regent park is heavily gentrified, the hoods that haven't been gentrified are mostly in the boroughs.

Not really. Toronto hoods are pretty safe. Which IS GOOD.
@@OnlyOneHunnidsTorontos hoods are not necessarily safe, they’re just less dangerous than Chicago hoods. At the end of the day, PLENTY of people get shot, stabbed and murdered in hoods all over Toronto
The areas shown in this video aren't really the "hoods" of the 6ix. Only small part of the video showed an area this is a hood but it's half been gentrified already 2:46 mark. As you can see the buildings on the left are projects, but the new white coloured building on right is what's replacing them. Most of the projects are are outside the downtown core, and you actually have to go into them.
Toronto looks cleaner than Chicago, Chicago looks more aggressiv than Toronto.
cause we are lol
It is way worse
IMO this is what I see when I see the two types of hoods in both countries.
Canadian hoods: drugs, poverty,
petty crimes, robbery, some gangs.
US hoods: gangs, violence, poverty, drugs, deep rooted racism.
US hoods are based a lot off of systemic racism and poor healthcare.
Canadian hoods are based off of poverty and drugs. Obviously there is still some systemic racism in Canada as well.
The quality of life is way better in Canada then in the US.
Depends on which city in Canada you're talking about

Chicago architecture looks to be much older than Toronto, there's tons more vacant structures, vacant lots, littered streets, the people hanging around and wandering the streets appear much younger than the folks out in Toronto.
I wonder why Toronto and Chicago have similar housing structures, but these structures were skipped in Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and Grand Rapids
Anything left vacant here, land, buildings, will just quickly be scooped up by a developer for more condos and offices. So yeah this is quite different. The few we do have are already marked for massive condos to go up! We are undergoing a massive development boom same as the US when it boomed pre-ww2. So everything is busy and things are being developed all over.
nice analysis

Because Toronto is a booming city fueled by immigration and lack of competition (cause of weather and geography) while Chicago is a city of losing population cause people in the US move out to cheaper states (doesn't happen in Canada cause options are limited). Think of Toronto as a blend of Chicago and Miami/Seattle. Immigration is dead in the US when your account for the large population it has and even by Western standards.

All this is one massive area now under construction and to eventually be completely replaced by offices and condos. It won't even be a 'hood' anymore. they are doubling the size of our downtowns's CBD and all this old stuff will be replaced with high rises.
He’s just driving around Toronto lol these aren’t the hoods
@@NomadCanadian lol sorry but you have no idea what your talking about, your acting like regent park is the only bad area in Toronto probably because your just some family man that has to pass there on the way to work we have bad areas and the same logic your using applied to any “hood” if your not involved you won’t get touched but you may get robbed in the area like I have in the past
@@NomadCanadian We definitely got hoods
They actually look somewhat similar but of course I'm sure Chicago is much more dangerous. I wonder if Toronto has a bigger homelessness population. What's your take between the two, Charlie?
Toronto seems like it has more homeless especially in that specific area shown here. I compared them because they are very similar in size and population. Chicago is clearly far more dangerous and looks worse. But I think some people in the comments are overdoing it acting like Toronto appears to be paradise in these areas shown. The vibes are very different, you don't have that same sense of danger in the worst areas like in Chicago, but as far as the worst areas in both cities there are more differences in the vibes coming from the people than the way it looks.
Toronto looks dope ..love your vids man
Nothing to be proud of but Charlie you didn’t even go deep in the worst hoods in Toronto Cmon !!
Toronto still ain’t bad at all
Boy ain't no hoods lil nigga
@6ix7even ? that makes no sense Toronto had less than 100 murders in 2019 an NYC had over 300 in 2019 and regardless NYC is one of the safest cities in the US so what’s your point? Chicago in 2020 has had more murders in July alone than Toronto did in all of 2019 an Chicago is a smaller city than Toronto. Also chicago isn’t even in the top 15 most dangerous cities in the US. The reason why I’m comparing is because you coming at me thinking your city is bad when it’s not which is a good thing
@6ix7even ? Nigga you said Toronto’s homicide count was more than NYC 2018 an it wasn’t boi do you know what a homicide count is nigga? You clearly don’t. Toronto ain’t bad at all you wofflin nigga ion need to go to Toronto to know that. You sound like them UK niggas fr y’all try way too hard to sound hard but y’all ain’t fooling nobody. Chicago at 787 homicides so far in 2020 an that ain’t including the 5,000 +people that survive getting shot each year.
@6ix7even ? Englewood and Garfield park got a combined population of 49,280 an these 2 neighborhoods in Chicago has seen 133 homicides in 2020 remember Toronto has 2.9 million people bruh Toronto ain’t bad ion care what Meek mill say
Yay a Canada one! A Windsor hoods compared to Detroit would be pretty cool. Great videos as always.
Windsor has no real hood jus poverty
Toronto worst hoods are 100000000000000000000000000 times safer then Chicago most safest areas
If you didn’t go to Jane, Finch, Scarborough or Rex then this video doesn’t even count . That’s like making a video about the hoods in Chicago but going to the north side . Stop the bull shit fam
You're clearly not from those hoods cuz da ReX was the first scene
@@tastetainment. #1 I’m not from any of those hoods I have friends & cousins all over east ends & regent . I’m Canadian (Kingston City) born American raised . #2 I only watched the first 60 seconds of the video
@@FOREVERAMBIANCE hey its cool man... btw it was in the first 10 seconds of the video so yea... #RX
@@tastetainment. Yea bro I didn’t know . I’m just use to American RUclipsrs downplaying the hoods in the dot like shit don’t get crazy . Mfs stay avoiding the places in Toronto w/ the real action & real shottas
Well east downtown is about as 'rough looking' as you will even get, and that is while it si still there, pending massive transformation into a massive number of new high rise projects. You won't even see much in the areas you mentioned. Just a bunch of apartment buildings with well maintained areas. It's still clean and hardly anything happening.
Canada is a safe paradise to any American ghetto , anyone who says different has not experienced or been! Any bad area in toronto is like as dangerous as the best areas in chicago
As far as hoods are concerned, They should compare Toronto to Seattle or Denver, but not to Chicago....unfair
@@kinkiesse7736 Facts😂😂
I'm dead.... you pulled RIGHT into Oblock... there's only 1 way in and 1 way out 😂
Driving into they parking lots and turning around like a tourist lol its shysty down there.
💀💀💀💀💀 how did do this?
1. What kind of comparison is this? Something like Toronto vs Seattle or Chicago vs Gary would've made more sense, obviously Chicago is going to look worse.
2. You only touched one real hood, and you're about a decade late before they started chance of gentrifing. Go to Jane n Finch, Jane n Weston, Oakwood N Vaughan, or sum
Toronto hood just looks normal and I’m Canadian lol
Toronto hoods aint even bad by canadian standards lmao. Go to north end winnipeg or sumthing.

Come to Regina, Sk Canada. If you want to see some real, it’s just a big hood.
Hahaha...Im from Chicago, I went to Regina to visit a friend and wellllll..... i don't recall seeing any lol
As a torontonian I find thats a load of BS, funny joke though. Winnipeg is a big hood on the other hand
Lol Canada's hoods are sweet baby.

You were just downtown. Look Up the Hundreds of quote on quote hoods in Toronto and Surrounding areas. There's a TON Of em. A Ton. Do ya research when you come back and really get in there.
So what, they look like suburban middle-income areas with occasional not-bad looking projects and surrounding areas with green clean-mowed lawns mixed with $600k houses/townhouses. Until I went to reddit didn't even know those were ghettos.
@@andrewpetrov5508 WTF you talking about. He didn't go in any hoods. Read what I said weirdo. Talking about so what. I'm from Toronto. There is a TON of PJ's out here FuckBoy.
@@andrewpetrov5508 nigga why r u so pressed that we have bad neighborhoods? Like it’s not a fucking competition 😂😂😂
North America is like one big city. Mexico is like downtown, the U.S. is like the city surrounding downtown, and Canada is like the comfortable suburbs.

Let’s be real, Mexico is the hood in this scenario 😂
I live an hour and a half north of Toronto...currently everything is covered in lots of snow ❄
Chicago’s alleys reminds me of Baltimore and phillys hoods
They all the same to me
Ultimate Hamza yea philly and Baltimore is just more dirtier but all three has the same amount of violence on the streets
@@Lavish_Clipz that's true
You went to absolutely no real hoods in Toronto only crackhead blocks smh made us look bad 😒
How’s not showing the filth of a nice city making you look bad? Is it because it makes you look soft?
do edmonton hoods next
@Getyobandz UP cuz of the natives and somali pirates
@Everything Toronto I thought that was Winnipeg that had the most Natives? But then again I'm not from Canada so I wouldn't know.
Canada rough parts look like a millionaire paradise compared to some of the rough neighborhoods in US..
This is 100% right though. Why? cuz the few remaining 'hoods' ARE becoming 'millionaire paradises'.
These areas are being torn down as we speak as high rise condos and offices are going up all over Toronto, and these few hood areas are coming down to make way for all this development and construction. millionaires will be living in brand new condos years from now where you now see this.
And this was filmed god knows when. They are making rapid progress initiating more and more of these construction projects so it's all turning into shiny new buildings as we speak!
this is not a hood anymore, it got gentrified heavily in the past decade, the hoods are on the outskirts of the city.
Bra dis Charlie bo guy drove 5 blocks in a circle ..he didn't go to no hoods lmao
I could easily say the Chicago houses at 11:23 look like a millionaire paradise.
Single detached homes, multiple stories, victorian era architecture.
Silly argument comparing snippets to snippets
toronto city is clean as hell
It is, and just keeps getting cleaner. They are in the process of having the worst 'hoods' that we do have, turned into massive developments.
high rise condos, offices, whole thing is just going to be a rich area with new businesses so any dirtiness just keeps getting less and less. It's getting really modern here now.
Toronto’s city planner took notes from Chicago’s city planner in the early 1900’s. Fact!!! Love Chicago !!!!
Chicago was the first when it came to all sorts of things, including the skyscraper.
Yeah there's one thing about Chicago everybody knows that it has certain neighborhoods. but Toronto seems to have this worldwide reputation of being Toronto the great which it is not because it's a absolute disgusting cesspool if you know it well enough and live here.
People seem to enjoy aimlessly hanging around petrol stations in America.
Canadian city toronto , scarborough vaughan are very safe man .I lived here for 32 years I love it . God bless .
Thanks. I was wondering if Scarborough was really hood from a RUclipsr I watch. Not so much lol.
@@AwkwardBlackGal613 depends what part look at the difference between Danzig or 3939 Lawrence ave e compared to Port union or Highland Creek
@@AwkwardBlackGal613 Scarborough is a city not a hood, it has a lot of hoods and apartments in it
@@user-qb6vv9qm1c Scarborough is not a city, it is part of Toronto city.
Scarborough is not a separate city; it is part of Toronto.
that first bit of spraypainted trashy Alleyways reminds me of a lot of Hamilton.
It ain't on Chicago's levels but Toronto is messed up with the gangs and hood activities. Most of the shit is in the West End or East End. Charlie was driving downtown in the gentrification areas. You wanna hit up Rexdale, Jane St. Weston Rd, Jungle, Galloway, Malvern and dem places. Not downtown though there are a few blocks downtown too.
Link up with a local that knows the city.
I was thinking the same thing when I watched his video.
Toronto's murder rate is literally a 2... The city is not messed up at all, the shit that happens there literally happens everywhere else in the world.
Chicago Southside born and raised grew up a few blocks away from parkway aka oblock

Canadians don’t understand what a real hood is. Our hoods are so rough 5 guys from Detroit can put this hood on lockdown and make them pay taxes to a guy called the deuce for there safety
We don't understand first hand, and we don't claim to (or even want to) other than by watching these videos hahaha. We will gladly stay in our functioning cities, thanks 😂
They need sit down lol
Lol worst hoods? Yeah ok that was basically 1 hood... drove up the same street twice and same alley. Across the street are multi million dollar townhouses and condos. Way off the mark on this one. You literally drove by my house. Twice. Im revising my comment. You drove around my hood the whole time. Dundas and Sherbourne up to Parliament. Cabbagetown is all multi million dollar homes. On Dundas st. Its shit....

@@justwill5107 wym its no ghetto do u know what hood means
Some of the places you were showing in Toronto weren't ghettos though.
It’s so clean if this was the states it would be dirty as I don’t know what notice as he went to Chicago how dirty it was
Boston is similarly clean and maintained well like Toronto. Even though Canada's politics got a play in it, Ontario would have to carry it on tho if that were the case tbh
Glad you went by Filmores, I miss that place!
Toronto might have some sketchy areas that might make one feel a bit uneasy, especially at night but there are no hoods. No areas are off limits for walking around but one area just east of Yonge around Dundas is truly crappy, but it has improved greatly as you continue east.
Yes I agree, no actual hoods. Even the east downtown area just feels normal walking in it. Only thing not normal is how much development it actually has. It's being rapidly taken up by high rise condos n stuff so the last remaining place close to a 'hood' is just turning into yet another affluent and business area.

@@NomadCanadian Yep and a lot of American cities just leave their empty lots undeveloped forever. No revitalizations, no gentrifications. Nothing.
Chicago's hoods look more downtrodden than Toronto's, no comparison!
