not to mention that's where they hang out because the homeless shelter is around the corner and the building they're standing in front of is the resource center
...you won't be getting paid by me -- you, hands down, are the most narrow-minded, shallow, self-impressed, and judgemental creator I have stumbled upon. Good luck, Jose.
As a Canadian who’s lived in Maine for 12 years, if you think parts of Maine are scary, well, I’m going to have to giggle at that, especially with your real estate license from Florida…I mean Florida 😂😂😂😂
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You use moving to florida and other states because of the warm weather gives you no valid point, people do say let's move to maine, so many actor's and rich people have moved here, keenebunkport and many very rich area's is where it's nicest, but you can not compare the grimmy parts of florida to portland, there is no comparison, violent crimes are far more, although portland used to be bad, still get's it popping, fight's daily, out of towner's would get messed up talking sh*t, drug's are the worst of every city but the beautifulness of portland, antiq building, roads, so much more make up for it, it's nice most the areas, you didn't even get a glimps fo the homeless population, it's soooo bad, you have to live in it to really understand how bad it can get, it was far worse for sure, it's unreal when i think about it, my life was like a movie and most my friend or people i grew up with are dead or in prison, still not as bad as florida's bad areas, Driving through places gives just a glimps obviously, any place has people that can get it popping no matter how nice you think it looks, dems are ruining America!
Anyone who simply drives through a city they have never been to has no room for an opinion on anything. Try walking around and actually seeing things, I know that's not common in the Sunshine State where you have to drive down an 8 lane highway to your local Walmart for your groceries and high blood pressure medication.
Laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic. Especially in such a walkable city. Zero respect for pedestrians & cyclists. Driving through burbs & city for a few minutes makes him an expert on exactly nothing.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS well theres no real hoods to vlog about in Maine so they got that going for them 😂 I lived in Florida and Maine before… Maine is nice and Florida is a shithole
Classic cope. All places have shitty parts but if you're defending them because it's your city. It sounds like a trash way to cope, it's probably why it got that bad in the first place. Complacency.
Statistically speaking, Portland is a top 10 city to move to in the country and the Northeast is ranked high if not the best for quality of life. End of the day it’s all opinion based so everyone should respect your opinion, but Portland has some awesome positives as well that could’ve been displayed!
Have you ever been there? It was like that 10-20 years ago. It gets exponentially less livable and disgusting each year that passes by. Democrat leadership, liberal citizens, and immigration have turned it into an armpit.
Mainer here, Portland is a dump; numerous homeless, panhandlers all over, refugees all over, and so expensive it has no middle class. We avoid it like the plague.
i hope u realize that portland isnt just lighthouses and lobsters, there’s some bad parts. That one area with the homeless ppl is literally right next to the shelter .. what would u expect. N plus that dude wasn’t doing it on purpose, he was on something. Jus bc that one part of portland was “trashy” doesn’t mean the rest of it is
@@AnaGiselle777 That makes NO sense. The cost of living is OBJECTIVELY worst in the north than in the south. Almost NO ONE is moving up north except a bunch of stupid southern liberals.
For someone who "doesn't know the area at all" they drove straight into the poorest part of Portland right off. After that as for the "not knowing the area" drive up to Congress St, which most of us who are local know is a magnet for the homeless since they were just 2 blocks from a SHELTER and he drove right in front of the soup kitchen on Oxford Street! Then onto State Street and headed towards the Old Port. Now the Old Port is pretty nice as he's on York Street passing by very expensive condos and doesn't say a WORD about that. So much wrong so wrong with this video. A horrible one in a beautiful area. I am a local and find this very biased! Extremely so. Yes, Portland attracts more than our fair share of homeless in the city, it's the largest city in Maine, and yes there are drug addicts. He's so "worried I'll be assaulted" and yet no one even got near the car and "OOHHHH I AM SO SCARED!" PLEASE!! I travel State Street often as well as York Street and never ever I have seen anyone being assaulted. No need to watch further this is not a true reflection of where I live at all.
Maine is pretty once you get out of the cities that democrat policies have destroyed. Portland itself is an absolute disaster. Rundown buildings, horrendous streets, a broken economy, and homeless people pitching tents anywhere possible. Then of course you have the “asylum seekers” everywhere that we don’t have the resources for. The further north you go in the state, the more you escape the reality that Maine has become.
I live right near where the video started and have lived all over Portland, mostly in downtown. I plan on moving to Florida soon but I'll always have love for Portland. Born and raised and proud of it. I've also been homeless in Portland and it ain't "trashy" or "embarrassing" to be homeless. Lotta these mfs got stories that would send a shiver down your spine, don't be so quick to judge. Also the cold doesn't "reset your mind" it fucking sucks and it's a mixture of that and rising rents driving folks off.
Weird. Driving around & around in a walking city (crosswalks exist for a reason btw) and in the burbs. Doesn’t differentiate between Cranston, RI & Maine. No evidence of prior research or even mention of any associated special interests-probably no clue about history of working waterfront either. Zero interest in local culture, music scene, has no experience living here b4 (during any previous decade) but somehow knows it’s gone to crap over time. 😵💫also didn’t go to any nearby beaches, no trips to countless islands, no boat ride, nearby woods etc.. even really basic travelers would know to get crab sandwich, lobster roll, steamers whatever. Thinks food is same in Portland as in CA, though they’re on two different oceans. SMH. Foodie town even if seafood isn’t your thing. There’s lots of reasons that city is flooded with visitors year round, but he’s probably totally clueless about that too. Excellent guide to go somewhere without having a single travel experience. Heaven forbid he set foot in Longfellow’s, but would probably complain about having too many books. Might as well have just visited Walmarts & eaten at McDonalds.
Get the out or try to help if it’s so embarrassing. U literally drove by the homeless shelter and a couple ppl down on their luck u gotta talk shit???? Stay in Canada
Portland Maine is your best bet if you have a steady job. If you’re into the restaurant business, you’re in luck. We like our beers and clam chowders during the winter 🥶 If you don’t own a vehicle, it’s still easy to navigate to get to work. Just dress warm ❤
Portland is a great city. there’s lots of sections to explore (Munjoy hill, woodfords corner, etc…). It’s one of those cities that aren’t ridiculously huge (like NY) but still feels super urban. Also the views are freaking awesome near the water. downside is that it can be pricey in some areas.
You have to be extremely wealthy to live a comfortable life in Maine. Horrendous economy and we are taxed on absolutely everything. Wages are very low compared to the very high cost of living.
Learn your road laws in different states, bicycles in the state of Maine having road rights not supposed to be on the sidewalk also pedestrians have right of way regardless of a crosswalk
This city looks beautiful like a nice place to raise kids safe calm quiet clean the stores dont even have cages and no garbage in the streets nobody coming up to your window at red lights asking for money or tryna sell u shit
I hate the people saying “ yeah we have a homeless problem but it isn’t like LA” or “yeah we have crime but it isn’t Detroit” that kind of thinking is what ruined those cities
It’s coming to every city or small town that was formerly spared of these inflictions as a result of democratic agendas. They want society to fall apart so that people become reliant upon the government.
our city is doing nothing to take care of our homeless its insanely terrible we are ALL not happy about it, as well as being the most gentrified city in northern new england...
As we know, “asylum seekers” are their #1 priority as that expands the democratic voting pool. And yes, otherwise Portland and its residents are in a dysfunctional dynamic between a small New England city and an influx of the wealthy from out of state.
Fr I prefer cooler weather or chilly weather unless I'm going to the beach lol. Hot and humid weather just make you feel tired because it zap the energy out of you.
People that live in ghetto run down places will visit other places and seek out the worst areas because that's what they're used too. They will intentionally skip the nice areas.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You have no idea where I live. No one who lives in nice areas will visit another state or city and end up in the hood. I have never even been in a hood and I've traveled all over this nation and several countries. When I visit somewhere, I am tourists. Tourists don't waste their money and time visiting the worst parts of a destination.
It’s amazing how your wife, who is making more money as a real estate agent than you are as a RUclipsr, is able to put up with all of this bullcrap that you constantly say.
I dont live in Cuba so I don’t care I live in USA and When this gets worst looking towards canada or spains laws to immigrate. I dont look back i look forward
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSAfter living near Seattle for 10 years after growing up in this area, to be honest, the things you are complaining about here are even worse in Seattle. We even had the light rail train drivers in that go along I5 complain about fentanyl vapors ending up in the trains' ventilation systems. I'm afraid Portland has been heading toward the same route recently. My biggest gripe with Maine was the resistance of the population to any type of change, even if it's beneficial in the long run, and the scapegoat is always people from Massachusetts for sone reason. NH is the same way but has been a bit more prosperous. However, there's no way in hell I'd move to Florida with the current political climate. I almost shot myself in the head as a closeted 17 year old, and your governor and school board members make me think about that time in my life I'd rather forget.
OMG guys! You have the most boring conversation. The woman sounds drunk. Put some excitement into this. No one cares about your personal life when you are trying to show states.
Lived on a coast guard cutter at Maine State Pier mid '60's felt like it was 1850 - very different from FLA , Portland has character , very nice place .
Welcome to my town!! I actually live in a decent part of South Portland, but the homeless / drug issue is terrible in Portland. Don't be walking there at night!
I've never felt threatened by any homeless people walking around Portland, but I am a large enough man I guess. There isn't anywhere in Portland that's nearly as dangerous as neighborhoods in many other cities. I'd say don't walk barefoot and carry mace if you're a woman just in case, but we have extremely low violent crime and when it does happen it's usually domestic.
Slow done their Y'all, It was all over when you said Detriot was a nice place? As for Florida, its, turning into a cookie cutter HOA, clearcutting, F nature wasteland. Portland is constantly in transition and currently its expanding in population faster than infrastructure was designed. Yes ,it has big city problems, huge LGBTQ community and it is a sanctuary city. Take it or leave it. Remember Maine is about the outdoors. SO get out and hike a trail or two and work on that chunker life style. Thanks for emphasizing the ugly side NOT!
Haha! Yup, none of my friends or family even drive through Portland anymore. We all used to do things in the city all the time. Now it’s just crazy people, homelessness, and “asylum seekers.” Meanwhile everything is run down and small businesses have disappeared.
maine is very safe, portland not so much compared to the rest of maine, trust me still very safe compared to other places, but portland is maines boston in every way, in recent years only the rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer, locals are leaving and masshles are coming to rent 1bed apt's for 3k a mnnth and it ruins the rent for everyone else, we are going thru huge issues figurinng out how much landlords are allowed to raise rent, we have a vote coming up in just a couple of weeks
You finally made to the best city with no questions ask? If you find a nice city like portland safe let me know. I have been looking for a city like portland but warm for years, can’t find it anywhere
That little parking area next to Jay's Oyster is a secret spot. You aren't allowed to park there, but it's impossible to tow you out, and it's private so you can't get ticketed.
go to toronto or vancouver bro then tell me how great canada is... also drive along the waterfront its nice as hell in portland. you went to the one area of portland that is in front of the homeless shelter
That's not a horse you smell it's the ocean. Do u realize how much you repeat yourself? Canada has plenty of drugs and homeless people. Vancouver? Toronto? MONTREAL? Quebec City?
The people of Portland need to stop and take a hard look at themselves. It’s not family friendly when people are doing frogs and all cracked out all around you. Thats the issue look at the mirror Portland and fix your city.
The homeless population is out of control. City "Leaders" have no idea how to handle it. Its not safe anymore and so sad. They care more about asylum seekers who have taken over the expo, surrounding area and schools, hospitals. Some in need and most taking advantage of free food, shelter, phone, health care. The police have fireworks being shot at them and they cant do a thing because of woke, juvenile, city leaders taking control. The homeless are taking over parks business area's and just like San Fran business are hurting. The life of Portland is being slowly sucked out of it and there is no coming back from it. Could have been the best city in the North East but not anymore. Its time to wake up and take pride and care of our city and state. Focus on real issues and not social political bs. I thought Maine was better than that but its time to wake up, put this "woke", social political made up non issues that were never a problem in much of anywhere to and end and get tough again before its too late.
😂You want to tour a real crap hole? Drive throughout Oakland, CA. I lived in Pompano Beach and Hollywood for 4 years: hot and humid every, single day; rains nearly every evening; three clear beautiful days in January; huge bugs, especially cockroaches; canal rats the size of cats; tropical storms that are terrifying; hurricanes. Everybody seems to hang out on the street and smoke dope. Loud, all-night parties. Bicycling doesn’t count in Florida because it’s FLAT. In Canada they eat more real food; in this country people eat sh*t that belongs in a dumpster. We eat PRODUCT; Canadians eat more FOOD. Even food made by US firms are more nutritious than what they sell to us. What’s embarrassing is all the graffiti everywhere. You don’t see that in places like Japan.
Hits quite a few places that the several other logs did not, but garbled gabble is sick. How'd u get through the third grade? You'd be right at home in Maine. Walls around nothing. Great views for sick eyes.
So many homeless nowadays. Just 5 years ago the homeless population was around 1k. now its 4k. You should've gone by the highway there is a HUGE homeless camp with 100+ tents
Cool. Now do the same video for the poor parts of Miami and Orlando. I lived in FL 25 years ago and I’ll bet not much has been to some of the thriving communities around Kissimmee. 😂
I lived there for a long time. I don't miss it. Although, South Portland is much better for living. It's not surprising to see all the troon flags in the Old Port.
No in Portland about 8 yrs ago they did a huge dump of African immigrants in the city, they had no clue it was coming, had No clue what to do. It was part of the reset of white America by Obama, Maine had no idea what to do. They did it to Stamford also Our Govt just dropped 2500 Guatamalans in our city in a week, we just had no idea nor what to do or how to house them and it turned houses no 5 family houses took over stores to places with chicken feet in them, they were walking the streets stealing grocery carts. We just had no idea nor a place to put them.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Read about it, it's well published. What's interesting is that the homeless population in say, Pasco/Hernando County consists of virtually 0 asylum seekers--which means that they can most likely all legally work, provided anyone wanted to hire them and they actually wanted to work. And there are jobs available. Not the case in Portland, ME, which is half the size (population) of Spring Hill, to put into perspective. Portland just completed housing for some of these folks, which leaves the homegrown homeless out in the cold. Portland is also experiencing a rent affordability and availability crisis for those that are gainfully employed. I like your videos, but this one is under researched prior to filming. You trash talking the high and drug using homeless in Maine underscores critical sentiment issued by the alt-right on immigrants--because you were just trash talking asylum seekers--which I know was not your original intention....
youre right, us and a city in texas i cant remember which were the only ones to take in thousands, im glad we are so kind but damn other cities need to take refugees too we cant deal with it all, portland maine has had more peeople than it was planned for, for over 10 years, only in thr past few years has it goteen so so so much more over populated, we need more jobs, more schools, more sheltersm more social recources for homeless
You literally parked in the lot of a day shelter across from a night shelter of course ther are goi g to be homeless people ther. Not even 10 as far as i saw. Portland per square ft median real estate cost is higher then Miami at city many consider hip and desirable. Portland is a service center for all of York and Cumberland County meaning homeless folks go ther from all over the state for services. Yall are debating Ohio like it matters the point is your so neg your viewrs think your.old last should leave you.
13:36 When I went on tour in Portland Maine, this was the only neighborhood we had to almost fight a homeless guy over me not giving him cigarettes. And this was in 2014, I can't imagine 9 years later. It's probably insane now.
Went to a lobster festival back in October. Didnt like the city in its current state. Its a historical American city and not ONE American flag to be found anywhere. Just toxic rainbow and BLM. Even the post office didnt have a USA flag. Disgraceful.
You drove straight to the block with the homeless shelter and start shitting on how trashy the city is. From one florida man to another, come on...
not to mention that's where they hang out because the homeless shelter is around the corner and the building they're standing in front of is the resource center
Good answer. i am coming to US in few months and decided to live in Portland, Maine

What a shocker! I heard there is a light house at the Light house park another shoker right?

Fr I prefer cooler weather or chilly weather unless I'm going to the beach lol. Hot and humid weather just make you feel tired because it zap the energy out of you.
People that live in ghetto run down places will visit other places and seek out the worst areas because that's what they're used too. They will intentionally skip the nice areas.
I live in a beach town in Florida. Our hoods cost more than your best areas
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You have no idea where I live. No one who lives in nice areas will visit another state or city and end up in the hood. I have never even been in a hood and I've traveled all over this nation and several countries. When I visit somewhere, I am tourists. Tourists don't waste their money and time visiting the worst parts of a destination.
@patriciadickson2968 so u have never had any authentic experiences?
Sound advice.
My ex had a sister that lived in the "slum" in Keene, N.H. It was nicer than any place I ever saw growing up.
Keene is a nice small city %100. beautiful downtown with pretty surroundings.
Ohio or Sarasota?? Naples???? Thats hilarious, Ohio is miserable
It’s amazing how your wife, who is making more money as a real estate agent than you are as a RUclipsr, is able to put up with all of this bullcrap that you constantly say.
The words sound real funny as they get distorted through those heavy jowls, on their way out.
Ain’t heart disease a bitch, y’all!? 🤣🤣
Lewiston has gone to crap with shootings even before this massive shooting happened.
When will you cover the other Portland? (Oregon)
Hopefully soon
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Cool! I've been there. It used to be a nice town now its a dump.
you should have gone srtaight at the dunkins at woodfords corner, you would have gotten the back cove scenic route baxter blvd
Woodfords corner is so drab though
Better than Cuba
I dont live in Cuba so I don’t care I live in USA and When this gets worst looking towards canada or spains laws to immigrate. I dont look back i look forward
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSOkay so stop complaining 😅😂😂😂
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS America is going to get worse before it gets better?! I'm looking forward to moving to Europe 🌍
Looks a lot nicer than Portland Oregon!
I go walking here in Downtown Fort Myers quite a bit everything's close by.
Just so close to interesting. Not bored enough to watch it!
Am sorry but you was literally mean for no reason and to think that you are from floriduh, speaking like this you are really brave
maine sucks, just being honest
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSAfter living near Seattle for 10 years after growing up in this area, to be honest, the things you are complaining about here are even worse in Seattle. We even had the light rail train drivers in that go along I5 complain about fentanyl vapors ending up in the trains' ventilation systems. I'm afraid Portland has been heading toward the same route recently.
My biggest gripe with Maine was the resistance of the population to any type of change, even if it's beneficial in the long run, and the scapegoat is always people from Massachusetts for sone reason. NH is the same way but has been a bit more prosperous.
However, there's no way in hell I'd move to Florida with the current political climate. I almost shot myself in the head as a closeted 17 year old, and your governor and school board members make me think about that time in my life I'd rather forget.
OMG guys! You have the most boring conversation. The woman sounds drunk. Put some excitement into this. No one cares about your personal life when you are trying to show states.
Go make your own video
No what our own GOVT has done to our country, not people Jose.
I can't say anything but wonderful things until my house sells.
Lived on a coast guard cutter at Maine State Pier mid '60's felt like it was 1850 - very different from FLA , Portland has character , very nice place .
Wait till you see the coastal maine videos we did. Its like stuck in time in a good way
Welcome to my town!! I actually live in a decent part of South Portland, but the homeless / drug issue is terrible in Portland. Don't be walking there at night!
The lobster was amazing 🦞😊
I was laughing when he was driving by the homeless resource center😂
I've never felt threatened by any homeless people walking around Portland, but I am a large enough man I guess. There isn't anywhere in Portland that's nearly as dangerous as neighborhoods in many other cities. I'd say don't walk barefoot and carry mace if you're a woman just in case, but we have extremely low violent crime and when it does happen it's usually domestic.
lol you might get hassled for a cigarette at night, I wouldn't walk alone if you're a lady, but that's the same in every city
@@michaelathearn5498Cumberland Ave, Pickle Park or Casco Bay Bridge lol
Slow done their Y'all, It was all over when you said Detriot was a nice place? As for Florida, its, turning into a cookie cutter HOA, clearcutting, F nature wasteland. Portland is constantly in transition and currently its expanding in population faster than infrastructure was designed. Yes ,it has big city problems, huge LGBTQ community and it is a sanctuary city. Take it or leave it. Remember Maine is about the outdoors. SO get out and hike a trail or two and work on that chunker life style. Thanks for emphasizing the ugly side NOT!
I've been there and enjoyed the light houses. I took Amtrack from Boston to Portland
Lobsta hoagies mmm
yea Cold water baths ; can increase metabolism; thermogenic
And cause heart attacks
@@lorrie5881 BS show your research or it didnt happen
portland is a wreck. but dude you are literally filming the homeless shelter lol
people love that, i do entire homeless camp tours in Florida where i live now
Haha! Yup, none of my friends or family even drive through Portland anymore. We all used to do things in the city all the time. Now it’s just crazy people, homelessness, and “asylum seekers.” Meanwhile everything is run down and small businesses have disappeared.
One of several...
maine is very safe, portland not so much compared to the rest of maine, trust me still very safe compared to other places, but portland is maines boston in every way, in recent years only the rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer, locals are leaving and masshles are coming to rent 1bed apt's for 3k a mnnth and it ruins the rent for everyone else, we are going thru huge issues figurinng out how much landlords are allowed to raise rent, we have a vote coming up in just a couple of weeks
You finally made to the best city with no questions ask? If you find a nice city like portland safe let me know. I have been looking for a city like portland but warm for years, can’t find it anywhere

Very pleasant place to chill and calm thanks god there's no crime or q great place to take a free walk
More crime then there used to be
@@Airblownben”sure it’s getting worse and worse by the day, but it isn’t Chicago!”
😂. Keep on giving the free stuff and they’ll come.
I live in the area. I didn't always carry a firearm but I do these days
and you're WRONG on the diversity. We now have representatives in large numbers from MANY nations and they ALL look and act out of place.
Silly comments. Mainers have different ideas about what to do outside than walk down a sidewalk in Portland.
That little parking area next to Jay's Oyster is a secret spot. You aren't allowed to park there, but it's impossible to tow you out, and it's private so you can't get ticketed.
You should do Biddeford Maine that's dumpy.
Better yet Bangor, one of the nastiest places in the state.
I heard Portland was a nice neat city.
go to toronto or vancouver bro then tell me how great canada is... also drive along the waterfront its nice as hell in portland. you went to the one area of portland that is in front of the homeless shelter
Was there really no fat people in Canada??
My phone went to crap…watching this video
My bank account went up thanks to this video
Wassup Main!
That's not a horse you smell it's the ocean. Do u realize how much you repeat yourself? Canada has plenty of drugs and homeless people. Vancouver? Toronto? MONTREAL? Quebec City?
The people of Portland need to stop and take a hard look at themselves. It’s not family friendly when people are doing frogs and all cracked out all around you. Thats the issue look at the mirror Portland and fix your city.
The homeless population is out of control. City "Leaders" have no idea how to handle it. Its not safe anymore and so sad. They care more about asylum seekers who have taken over the expo, surrounding area and schools, hospitals. Some in need and most taking advantage of free food, shelter, phone, health care. The police have fireworks being shot at them and they cant do a thing because of woke, juvenile, city leaders taking control. The homeless are taking over parks business area's and just like San Fran business are hurting.
The life of Portland is being slowly sucked out of it and there is no coming back from it. Could have been the best city in the North East but not anymore.
Its time to wake up and take pride and care of our city and state. Focus on real issues and not social political bs. I thought Maine was better than that but its time to wake up, put this "woke", social political made up non issues that were never a problem in much of anywhere to and end and get tough again before its too late.
👍💥🎯
😂You want to tour a real crap hole? Drive throughout Oakland, CA. I lived in Pompano Beach and Hollywood for 4 years: hot and humid every, single day; rains nearly every evening; three clear beautiful days in January; huge bugs, especially cockroaches; canal rats the size of cats; tropical storms that are terrifying; hurricanes. Everybody seems to hang out on the street and smoke dope. Loud, all-night parties. Bicycling doesn’t count in Florida because it’s FLAT. In Canada they eat more real food; in this country people eat sh*t that belongs in a dumpster. We eat PRODUCT; Canadians eat more FOOD. Even food made by US firms are more nutritious than what they sell to us. What’s embarrassing is all the graffiti everywhere. You don’t see that in places like Japan.
Being in maine ain't portland..blame the democrats + General Mills
Those people in Irontown probably own a restaurant.
Hits quite a few places that the several other logs did not, but garbled gabble is sick. How'd u get through the third grade? You'd be right at home in Maine. Walls around nothing. Great views for sick eyes.
Cool Vibes Family keep the videos coming
Thank you sir
Nice town. Canada
So many homeless nowadays. Just 5 years ago the homeless population was around 1k. now its 4k. You should've gone by the highway there is a HUGE homeless camp with 100+ tents
Dang thats sad. Every state now
Cool. Now do the same video for the poor parts of Miami and Orlando. I lived in FL 25 years ago and I’ll bet not much has been to some of the thriving communities around Kissimmee. 😂
You must be slow, Kissimmee is growing like crazy and jobs everywhere
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS slow coming from the person who couldn’t process I said 25 years ago. 😂😂😂 That’s them Florida schools, I tell ya what. 🤣🤣
What make you think portland Maine suck?
Watch and hear 😅
Portland, ME looks like a nicer version of Cleveland, OH.
You must know a different Cleveland than the one I've been in
@@briankrowl6352 Wanting to visit sometime.
Lmao, that’s nothing. Have you been to Seattle? Also Canada has a homeless problem too. 😂
were going soon, we have been in 36 states.. this isnt exactly a good scene in your town so dont compare
i love Portland .. Been in this area for20 years. Homelessness and refugees are a challenge but love it
the regufees are the only hope your town has, the locals will all die from an OD eventually
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS that is mean-spirited ..
I lived there for a long time. I don't miss it. Although, South Portland is much better for living. It's not surprising to see all the troon flags in the Old Port.
Trien to talk smack and can't get the words out 😂 tf?
No in Portland about 8 yrs ago they did a huge dump of African immigrants in the city, they had no clue it was coming, had No clue what to do. It was part of the reset of white America by Obama, Maine had no idea what to do. They did it to Stamford also Our Govt just dropped 2500 Guatamalans in our city in a week, we just had no idea nor what to do or how to house them and it turned houses no 5 family houses took over stores to places with chicken feet in them, they were walking the streets stealing grocery carts. We just had no idea nor a place to put them.
Interesting since population has been flat since 1940s. Local told me jobs left. Marine and government
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS why is that most everywhere else it grown.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Read about it, it's well published. What's interesting is that the homeless population in say, Pasco/Hernando County consists of virtually 0 asylum seekers--which means that they can most likely all legally work, provided anyone wanted to hire them and they actually wanted to work. And there are jobs available. Not the case in Portland, ME, which is half the size (population) of Spring Hill, to put into perspective. Portland just completed housing for some of these folks, which leaves the homegrown homeless out in the cold. Portland is also experiencing a rent affordability and availability crisis for those that are gainfully employed. I like your videos, but this one is under researched prior to filming. You trash talking the high and drug using homeless in Maine underscores critical sentiment issued by the alt-right on immigrants--because you were just trash talking asylum seekers--which I know was not your original intention....
youre right, us and a city in texas i cant remember which were the only ones to take in thousands, im glad we are so kind but damn other cities need to take refugees too we cant deal with it all, portland maine has had more peeople than it was planned for, for over 10 years, only in thr past few years has it goteen so so so much more over populated, we need more jobs, more schools, more sheltersm more social recources for homeless
@@david22.61 I don't think he can read
People in Portland mostly fish and walk the beach not the streets.
no we do not mostly fish, that has been retired for the most part for some time now, its not even top 10 anymore for jobs, or how the city makes money
we walk the streets, the only beach in the city is small and overcrouded in the warm months
You literally parked in the lot of a day shelter across from a night shelter of course ther are goi g to be homeless people ther. Not even 10 as far as i saw. Portland per square ft median real estate cost is higher then Miami at city many consider hip and desirable. Portland is a service center for all of York and Cumberland County meaning homeless folks go ther from all over the state for services. Yall are debating Ohio like it matters the point is your so neg your viewrs think your.old last should leave you.
Little Diamond Island, Portland, Maine
looks like canada
Portland Maine drivers are the worst, always in a hurry, cutting you off, speeding not yielding, what's the rush people
charlotte NC worse
This dude sounds insecure
1:05. Three d’s. On the left. Great place to get your 40oz.
13:36 When I went on tour in Portland Maine, this was the only neighborhood we had to almost fight a homeless guy over me not giving him cigarettes. And this was in 2014, I can't imagine 9 years later. It's probably insane now.
Now we just don’t even walk down the street. Ever! There’s nowhere to go anymore regardless. The city is trash.
So many homeless people supposed to be the richest country in the world. Smdh. Me duele el alma ver a tanta génte en esa situación 😢
No quieren trabajar quieren fumar
Walked down grant st doors open and people talking about baby mommas was the first thing i seen and heard haha
Went to a lobster festival back in October. Didnt like the city in its current state. Its a historical American city and not ONE American flag to be found anywhere. Just toxic rainbow and BLM. Even the post office didnt have a USA flag. Disgraceful.
You.cant even park.
Think you need to change your coolaid. What you're drinking is effecting your ability to make a decent video.
Got plenty of views that was the goal 😎🤷🏼
