Born and raised in Miami Ive lived in Westchester, Coconut Grove, Kendall, Hialeah, Flagler n 67Ave, Doral. I've been out partying many nights in downtown. Ive never had an issue ever. Miami overall is safe if you don't look for trouble. Worst thing about Miami is the cost of living and it's getting worse.
I seen that. I was thinking of trying to move there until I looked at rent. Crappy houses and apartments were going for $2,000 a month. No way can a single income afford that. I mean how do they charge someone making $2,200 a month 2,000? How is he supposed to pay bills, eat, etc.? It's not even possible. I make more than 2,200 but that's still wayy too much and that's what I make here. No guarantee I'd make that if I were to move.

Been to Miami a couple weeks ago as a tourist (I’m from Italy 🇮🇹 of Peruvian descent) and something crazy happened to me and my friend in Little Havana. We were following directions on Maps to find graffiti and we ended up in a side road near Flagler st. This dude standing with the back against the wall comes to us and says “If you go further we gon kill you, we gon rob you… as a matter of fact I should rob you right know”. We were hella scared so we explained we were tourists and we were up to no trouble. “Look, I see y’all don’t know Miami, I’m gonna help you find your way out these blocks. Stay close to me and no one will ever touch you” he said. We didn’t know what to do, he was visibly drunk and looking around and seeing the kind of people around we had no choice but to follow him. “Everybody around here knows if we dare to touch tourists we gon get 25 years inside” - he told us. We were like “Oh really?? That’s crazy bro”. Not gonna lie, 3 times he stopped people who were following us, probably because they saw my friend was carrying his backpack. “They with me, they good” - he said to them. Thank god he took us out the hood and led us until the bus stop for Miami Downtown. Never in my life I had experienced something like that, it was surreal

The hoods are disappearing in Miami rapidly due to gentrification. You should have seen Miami in the 1990s/1980s. I will say this though, regardless of what they do to the city, the place is a dump and will remain a dump. It is a tropical Cleveland. In fact, even that is an insult to Cleveland. I just can't see how anyone can live there anymore.
give me $1,000,000 and expect me to end up in Corral Gables. its got great parts too. Best latin Food and culture. Cleavland is a frozen tundra next to a snow lake.. Miami is Miami regardless of what the bad parts look like.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I would honestly take living in Cleveland over Miami in a split second. On the west side for sure. Don't care about the frozen tundra and the lake is beautiful. That's my take.
I've worked in all of these neighborhoods for 20+ years, for better or worse. Commonality is -the bad areas are ones where people just tolerate criminal activity. The people that live there really DO NOT CARE. It is understood that you move to those areas so you can BE A PART OF IT. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen it from the inside.

mark, I recently went to Chicago. And saw its worst streets from O Block, to Humbolt Park, To Little Village, Southside, and most the cities notorious areas. Chicago is a VERY CLEAN and NICE CITY. hard to even tell if an area is bad because structurally its a SOUND CITY. despite the cold weather, on a nice summer day.. CHICAGO has lots of great areas to offer. I don't know if your referring to crime, it definitely felt unsafe but Chicago felt like a clean and orderly city to me structurally well cared for even in the bad parts. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I lived in Chicago for 14 years. Moved to Miami in 2019. Chicago is a great city. But the crime is out of control. Even in Lincoln Park. With the crime, high taxes and shitty weather, I couldn’t wait to get our. And I lived in Roscoe Village. A very nice area. Even there I head gunshots. And car jackings are the worst in the nation.
@@markprad what caught me off guard about Chicago was how clean and orderly every building is used and it did seam like you have massive job opportunities and if it wasn't for the weather. I loved the food we had sadly someone was killed right behind the place we were eating at that day. I wanna see more of Chicago... just not when its in the 20s like on my trip this month. I wanna see it in the summer. Great American cities, crappy weather tho.
About 10 yrs ago I provided security for a contractor in Texas who told me a story about his 8 man crew who did some work in Miami. He said that the job lasted about 4 months but most of his men never made it out of the city and two of them got killed and he don’t know what happened to the rest. It’s gotta be a pretty rough place
I'm from the UK and was on holiday in Miami in 2023. One night i walked the long road/motorway from Mid-Beach to the airport in the middle of the night (1am-2am) and ended up going to a gas station (Chevron) in Brownsville after passing Earlington Heights train station. I thought i was going to die, zombie-like crackheads aggressively begging for money, slow driving tinted cars, one of the spookiest places i have been in real life .
my old neighborhood of Miami Gardens has gotten pretty bad from what I've heard. i lived there from '69 to '82, when it was just unincorporated Dade County. now its rated #10 medium sized city in the nation in terms of violent crime.
I worked in all these areas doing hurricane clean up. There's is lots of beautiful homes and lots of nice people that live in these area. every house is not rundown
There's alot probably over half of miami overtown Liberty city Opa-locka Miami gardens Gould's Homestead Florida city North Miami Perrine Richmond heights Parts of south Miami Parts of coconut grove Parts of Kendall west 152 ave Parts of Hialeah Parts of west chester Little hatti Little havanna Brownsville Allapatah Parts of cutler ridge South Miami heights Naranja Brown sub Im sure there is more but at least 3 on that list has a higher murder rate than Detroit. Miami has some seriously dangerous areas bullet holes in buildings and all. The tourist industry does not want you to know.

@@trinavargas9830 I’m over here cracking up because I to live in liberty Square. Let’s just say I’m over here living ghetto fabulous. I own my home only 65,000 left to pay on it I drive a 2021 big body Benz My daughter is 21 and she has her own salon suite she’s a cosmetologist. I have a associates and bachelors in criminal justice, and a associates in paralegal. I work part time and travel full-time. I also have a travel marketing business. My neighbors are great. From time to time I do hear some gunshots, but I’ve stayed over to other areas that were not considered as bad and heard gunshots there too 🤷🏽♀️. I guess to each is own when it comes to their experience and opinions. Liberty Square is home to me. I don’t bother it and it don’t bother me.
It is odd how fascinated people are with ghetto neighborhoods. So many channels film videos in these neighborhoods. I live in Brandon and work in Ybor City. I find myself in all these neighborhoods you just featured in the Tampa video. I’m either trying to get around traffic or there are businesses there that I patronage. They’re really not interesting places. If there are reasons to be there they are not dangerous but in all honesty if you go sight seeing on my block and no one recognizes you there will likely be as much of a problem. Even in this supposedly middle class neighborhood.
i find it fascinating because it is so different of everything i have ever seen. i wanna see how ppl live their lives and what they do all day. it is just so interesting
popular culture doesn't do shit for a country. these kids need math and language, philosopy, physics and computer skills, or else cooking and hvac and plumbing, not hip hop.
Bro you left out opa-locka ,carol city, north miami and North Miami Beach. You pronouncing the hoods wrong lol you can’t be from miami. Opa-locka was murder capital for years the hood called the triangle. You went to the city(liberty city) and didn’t go to pork n beans. The goose in homestead south mami heights. Lol you trippin bruh
I got arrested in overtown and had to live in a doc program on the border of liberty city and northside. Northside was my metro stop. The first day out of jail I go to sleep and wake up to a dead body hanging out of a car parked right along the outside of the fence.
Great video, I realize a year old and a couple of these areas have really changed. One is overtown just north of downtown. When I worked over there years ago, high density apartment buildings mostly, but in the last few years, you wouldn't recognize it, those older buildings gone, new ones replaced them, and 6 times the rent of what people were paying. Another area is coconut grove, used to be as you drove off us1 at Grand Ave you would go through rows of apartments built years ago. Now same as overtown, new buildings everywhere at 6 times what people were paying. Great location, only a few miles up us1 and you are downtown or easy access to beaches on key Biscayne. But in putting in these new buildings really gutted the character of the area. You could at one time go to Grove cinema on weekends and see Rocky horror picture show, or many other things to do, replaced years ago by a CVS, just what the world needs another one of those, killing any local pharmacy that might have been there originally.
Little Havana is not hood… and honestly there’s not really much of a reason to go outside of 8th street as a tourist, unless you want authentic nica food for example Yambo, pinolandia. Other than that not much of a reason for you to go into the pockets of neighborhoods unless you’re already doing sketchy with a local. In fact the roads is a really nice neighborhood in little Havana!
East little Havana is not that safe especially passed 12th avenue these blocks are really sketchy, I grew up on NW 2nd st by 10th avenue and SW 5th st by riverside park. It’s way better than it was 10 years ago but still a lot of crime , poverty & still a little bit of a gang presence mainly by Henderson park. Don’t not sleep on this neighborhood especially passed 11 pm.
Drugs and crime has ruined these areas. Maybe eventually the prices to live here will drive the poor people away. It is getting too expensive to live here even for a lot of middle income people.
Many parts of Miami feels like a 3rd world country. Many of the people make you feel like you have encountered an animalistic tribe, rather than civilized people.
Miami is like every big city. Just look over your shoulder and be aware of your surroundings. The tourist places just keep your eyes over. Miami Beach Lil Havana Wynnewood Bayside Coconut grove.

Even though all cities have city limits much of the cities down south like Miami Atlanta Jacksonville Houston they are the county seat that's why ppl from Miami say Dade county or ppl from Jacksonville say Duval. Up north like Baltimore their is Baltimore City and Baltimore county. Two separate places even though Bmore county surrounds the city
You can ALWAYS tell someone who hasn't lived in a particular city for a time (if even at all), doesn't know how locals pronounce street names, it's a dead giveaway! 😉
Wherever you're being processed for court when they arrest you, whether in Florida City to the county line to the north. Its all a part of Miami. Miami is the seat of the Miami-Dade county so EVERYTHING is processed through downtown. All county commissioners, city managers, incorporated and unincorporated townships in Dade go through Miami for EVERYTHING.
I live in Houston. At least in Miami there are neighborhoods you can be in by day. Houston has areas you don't go to period unless you live there and they know who does...
I grew up in Liberty City. Trina was my classmate and Uncle Luke's mother house was not too far from where I grew up. I dont remember Little Havana being rough, it was soft to me. He said he was a tour guide but he mispronounced Allapatah. It is pronounced Al-La-Pat-A .
@SOUTHERN LIFE if you have 💰, that's a good idea. If you don't, then don't do it. Too move to a nice part of the city, not low income and not average, I mean middle class suburbs and above. You need money. If you are moving there just to be average, that's silly. Never move to a new city just to live in someone else's ghetto or low income area. It's different if you are from there. Same goes for NY, Cali, ATL, or anywhere else. Why move to a ghetto you didn't grow up in??? That just puts a target on your back. Or why move to a city, just to be average??? Or just get buy??? Miami takes money to live well. You can spend half the money somewhere else and get a huge house 🏠 in an upper tier neighborhood. Then, use the money you save to visit Miami as much as you like. I don't know your finances, only you know that. But if you aren't already Ballin, what are you moving there for? The cost of living is getting out of control in South Florida, but if you got it like that, then do it.

The Democratic Fish Fry had to end sooner or later. Voting for Liberal politicians with all these promises just to keep you living the Pork & Beans lifestyle.

Great video 👍🏻
Opa locka is most certainly Miami. Homestead, I get it but opa locka is way closer to Miami
He probably didn’t want to drive around in Opa Locka probably didn’t wanna get caught in the triangle
i think Opa Locka is its own city
@@davidabraxas3757It is it's own city. Not sure why people don't understand that. Same with Miami Gardens which wasn't mentioned.
My Great Grandfather was Miami-Dade’s first Black Pharmacist. People’s Pharmacy later became People’s BBQ. Overtown ain’t shit no more… But it’s home! 😂😂😂😂🤷🏿♂️ A lot of potential has arisen in recent years due to Wynwood’s traffic.
nice
Miami Dade as a whole is dangerous AF
Amen.. You so right no matter how much he disect it even south beach coconut groves the whole miami to me they all got same jerk mindset and mentality as if they above all of them in it together..
Facts..NO matter where you live ,there's a Hood a few blocks away
Lies!!!
Nah not near as bad as it used to be. There plenty of worse places in this country.
Miami is a east coast la. Two cities favor each other in many ways.
One side rich and fancy, the other side grimey poverty. No middle ground there
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS same with la. Its crazyyy
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS ouuu yeahh la aint all rich and fancy. It has its areas like miami thats very poor and poverty as well. It will most def suprise you. Yall got to come here out west. But the 2 cities do favor eavh other in some parts.

No
I've been to both. Nothing alike. I live a few counties north of Miami.
Just stayed in Miami in Brownsville a couple blocks from Liberty Square. What a wild ride that was.
Brownsub!! here 54th st ten years and countin
Man appreciate the video this is the closest I'll travel to Miami right now good looking!!!
I was born in Miami 1952. There was beautiful wild birds and just gorgeous back then Went down in 1983 will never go back for anything. If I want the ocean will go to Cape Cod or Jersey Shore
Those beaches don't compare to FL beaches 🤣🤣🤣
yeah same type of folks are taking over north florida now
im from Liberty City Pork Can Bean projects.... stayed there from 2 to 22 years old.... man when i hear about when people talk about my old hood, i think about the friends i had and also the friends that passed. it was sad that they never got the chance to see the age off 25. thank you God for turning my life around at 21 and thank you God for keeping me from getting killed. thats why i do Christian rap becuz He took care me coming up and until this day....... it was a calling on my life. now im 39 and now im doing something real big in my life. im making tik tok videos to show the stuff i witness in the hood coming up and i Act real good doing my videos.
The pronunciation is wild. Allahpataaaah lol ! Westchester in da house
305 till I move!
Yall, Remember Uncle Al and the Poison Clan? The parties on 2-2 Ave? The Pac Jam? The Soul Bowl between The West and Jackson? Over Town vs Liberty City? The old Time Hurricances? The Pork n Bean Projects? Lodgemont Projects? Carol City? Opa Locka? 163rd Street Mall? ........
Im tell you this lots of the locals dont say dade they say 305..
I’m actually from Liberty City. Don’t hold your head down. You’ll look suspicious. I grew up in Brownsville for years before I moved to LC so trust me we hate suspicious people because you might be uc (undercover. Nod yo head as a sign of respect and keep moving.

The hoods are disappearing in Miami rapidly due to gentrification. You should have seen Miami in the 1990s/1980s. I will say this though, regardless of what they do to the city, the place is a dump and will remain a dump. It is a tropical Cleveland. In fact, even that is an insult to Cleveland. I just can't see how anyone can live there anymore.
give me $1,000,000 and expect me to end up in Corral Gables. its got great parts too. Best latin Food and culture. Cleavland is a frozen tundra next to a snow lake.. Miami is Miami regardless of what the bad parts look like.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I would honestly take living in Cleveland over Miami in a split second. On the west side for sure. Don't care about the frozen tundra and the lake is beautiful. That's my take.

It's the way he said Allahpattah 😂😂😂#tourist
But i got you to comment
I was working at the ice palace and was almost robbed twice. Didn’t feel too safe in that area.
The hoods are disappearing due to the Developers.
Agree. The next question is where will the displaced people go?
I've worked in all of these neighborhoods for 20+ years, for better or worse. Commonality is -the bad areas are ones where people just tolerate criminal activity. The people that live there really DO NOT CARE. It is understood that you move to those areas so you can BE A PART OF IT. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen it from the inside.
Cant wait to visit these bad neighborhoods in GTA 6
U can't even look at a person they'll think u either an enemy or rival gang or get killed for mistaken identity R.I.P. TO ALL MY FALLING SOLDIERS 🙏🏿

Nice hood, right across the form Gables.
Miami is like any big city. You want to see bad ‘hoods. Go to Chicago. Miami’s bad neighborhoods are a paradise compared to Chi.
mark, I recently went to Chicago. And saw its worst streets from O Block, to Humbolt Park, To Little Village, Southside, and most the cities notorious areas. Chicago is a VERY CLEAN and NICE CITY. hard to even tell if an area is bad because structurally its a SOUND CITY. despite the cold weather, on a nice summer day.. CHICAGO has lots of great areas to offer. I don't know if your referring to crime, it definitely felt unsafe but Chicago felt like a clean and orderly city to me structurally well cared for even in the bad parts. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I lived in Chicago for 14 years. Moved to Miami in 2019. Chicago is a great city. But the crime is out of control. Even in Lincoln Park. With the crime, high taxes and shitty weather, I couldn’t wait to get our. And I lived in Roscoe Village. A very nice area. Even there I head gunshots. And car jackings are the worst in the nation.
@@markprad Miami is Miami 🌴 the cold weather alone would deter me from wanting to be in Chicago.
@@markprad what caught me off guard about Chicago was how clean and orderly every building is used and it did seam like you have massive job opportunities and if it wasn't for the weather. I loved the food we had sadly someone was killed right behind the place we were eating at that day. I wanna see more of Chicago... just not when its in the 20s like on my trip this month. I wanna see it in the summer. Great American cities, crappy weather tho.
My cuzin been staying in Chicago for over 15 years from Miami n she said she never comin back to Miami
About 10 yrs ago I provided security for a contractor in Texas who told me a story about his 8 man crew who did some work in Miami. He said that the job lasted about 4 months but most of his men never made it out of the city and two of them got killed and he don’t know what happened to the rest. It’s gotta be a pretty rough place
Cap….
😂dayum. Sounds like the ones who survived saw the writings on the wall and got the fuck outta there?
😂 he probably lying just tried to scare you. I've in Miami all my 35 yrs in the heart of it. Miami liberty city & is not as bad as ppl think.
This smalls like 🧢
They prolly all became crackheads...they prolly still dopesick to the day!!! Sheeshhh🤔😂😭💯💯
I'm from the UK and was on holiday in Miami in 2023. One night i walked the long road/motorway from Mid-Beach to the airport in the middle of the night (1am-2am) and ended up going to a gas station (Chevron) in Brownsville after passing Earlington Heights train station. I thought i was going to die, zombie-like crackheads aggressively begging for money, slow driving tinted cars, one of the spookiest places i have been in real life .
Sounds about right
I just got back from Miami. South beach was nice but over that bridge was like New Jack City. Reminded me of home 🏡 😂
my old neighborhood of Miami Gardens has gotten pretty bad from what I've heard. i lived there from '69 to '82, when it was just unincorporated Dade County. now its rated #10 medium sized city in the nation in terms of violent crime.
I worked in all these areas doing hurricane clean up. There's is lots of beautiful homes and lots of nice people that live in these area. every house is not rundown
but most are
I would have thought some parts of Chicago would rival areas in Miami in regards to danger/criminal activity.
Miami is fucked up
Chicago is much more dangerous.
There's alot probably over half of miami
overtown
Liberty city
Opa-locka
Miami gardens
Gould's
Homestead

Parts of south Miami
Parts of coconut grove
Parts of Kendall west 152 ave

Parts of west chester
Little hatti
Little havanna
Brownsville
Allapatah
Parts of cutler ridge
South Miami heights
Naranja
Brown sub
Im sure there is more but at least 3 on that list has a higher murder rate than Detroit. Miami has some seriously dangerous areas bullet holes in buildings and all. The tourist industry does not want you to know.
I'm born and raised in Miami and it is not a joke
He was focused on the city of Miami... not Dade county... but your list is pretty spot on..
U do realise brownsub and Brownsville da same thing and Brownsville aka brown sub is in liberty city besides other neighborhood thats why liberty city known for being da largest neighborhood in miami bc its stretch from da north to da west of miami dats near by
Florida City esta de pinga.
Pork and Beans
Pronounce Allapattah correctly. You forgot one of the worst neighborhoods in Miami, Pork and Beans.
Pork and beans is liberty square 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴 people act like they know alot but be slow
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS it’s still a neighborhood, as small as it might be homey.
I pronounce it, "Alapada" withthe same vowels and syllable stress as for Alabama. Is that correct?
@@edwardmiessner6502 Yup- that's the right way to say it. Lifelong Miamian here.
He was literally riding thru the Beans 🤦🏾♂️🤣
Say Havana lol , thanks for the video
Miami is safe in general , I drive thru this hoods , never had a single problem
The happy music at the end 😂
The blacker the neighborhood, the more dangerous
Thats how the people in charge designed it to be
u re right
Tell that to the Italians in ny or the Cubans and Colombians in Miami point being that your wrong
Loved the video👍if you do another one, make sure to add Allapatah, I live near there and it has a lot of gang violence
Yeah i did a video there before
I came to this video to know where NOT to go in Miami, oh how mistaken I was to realize that I live in the #1 worst neighborhood :x
Wait really lol liberty square do tell
@@trinavargas9830 I’m over here cracking up because I to live in liberty Square. Let’s just say I’m over here living ghetto fabulous.

I have a associates and bachelors in criminal justice, and a associates in paralegal. I work part time and travel full-time. I also have a travel marketing business. My neighbors are great. From time to time I do hear some gunshots, but I’ve stayed over to other areas that were not considered as bad and heard gunshots there too 🤷🏽♀️. I guess to each is own when it comes to their experience and opinions. Liberty Square is home to me. I don’t bother it and it don’t bother me.
That song at the end was my jam!
51 nw 22ave brownsub thanks for showing my actual hood i stayed at for 23yrs nd til they moved us out to rebuild..
We did several videos there for history to be preserved
This guy knows nothing about the real miami hoods
Sure
The Goulds and Naranja should have made the list
A great location and education video of where not to go!
Miami have the worst hoods in Florida I been through the hole Florida they move different down there they are calculated when they move.
It is odd how fascinated people are with ghetto neighborhoods. So many channels film videos in these neighborhoods. I live in Brandon and work in Ybor City. I find myself in all these neighborhoods you just featured in the Tampa video. I’m either trying to get around traffic or there are businesses there that I patronage. They’re really not interesting places. If there are reasons to be there they are not dangerous but in all honesty if you go sight seeing on my block and no one recognizes you there will likely be as much of a problem. Even in this supposedly middle class neighborhood.
cnc813, love the Brandon, Tampa, Ybor area, I live in Winter Haven just east of Lakeland.
i find it fascinating because it is so different of everything i have ever seen. i wanna see how ppl live their lives and what they do all day. it is just so interesting
Nice video hi Katie 👋🏼
Thanks! can't wait to get traveling again were still recovering.
Visited Miami from Toronto 2009 had a great time. God bless America 🇱🇷
This dude don't know what he's saying. He ain't from the Magic City.
And you are with that name?
popular culture doesn't do shit for a country. these kids need math and language, philosopy, physics and computer skills, or else cooking and hvac and plumbing, not hip hop.
I don't ever go anywhere I can't go to at night. The vampires are still there.
Bro you left out opa-locka ,carol city, north miami and North Miami Beach. You pronouncing the hoods wrong lol you can’t be from miami. Opa-locka was murder capital for years the hood called the triangle. You went to the city(liberty city) and didn’t go to pork n beans. The goose in homestead south mami heights. Lol you trippin bruh
I got arrested in overtown and had to live in a doc program on the border of liberty city and northside. Northside was my metro stop. The first day out of jail I go to sleep and wake up to a dead body hanging out of a car parked right along the outside of the fence.
Great video, I realize a year old and a couple of these areas have really changed. One is overtown just north of downtown. When I worked over there years ago, high density apartment buildings mostly, but in the last few years, you wouldn't recognize it, those older buildings gone, new ones replaced them, and 6 times the rent of what people were paying. Another area is coconut grove, used to be as you drove off us1 at Grand Ave you would go through rows of apartments built years ago. Now same as overtown, new buildings everywhere at 6 times what people were paying. Great location, only a few miles up us1 and you are downtown or easy access to beaches on key Biscayne. But in putting in these new buildings really gutted the character of the area. You could at one time go to Grove cinema on weekends and see Rocky horror picture show, or many other things to do, replaced years ago by a CVS, just what the world needs another one of those, killing any local pharmacy that might have been there originally.
Go to NW 27th Avenue and 62nd. It’s the same there to.
Same in north miami dade county
Little Havana is not hood… and honestly there’s not really much of a reason to go outside of 8th street as a tourist, unless you want authentic nica food for example Yambo, pinolandia. Other than that not much of a reason for you to go into the pockets of neighborhoods unless you’re already doing sketchy with a local. In fact the roads is a really nice neighborhood in little Havana!
East little Havana is not that safe especially passed 12th avenue these blocks are really sketchy, I grew up on NW 2nd st by 10th avenue and SW 5th st by riverside park. It’s way better than it was 10 years ago but still a lot of crime , poverty & still a little bit of a gang presence mainly by Henderson park. Don’t not sleep on this neighborhood especially passed 11 pm.
THIS LIST IS ALL WRONG SMFH 🤦🏽♂️
Its just my opinion 🤷🏼
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS , your list is wrong, dude; your opinion shouldn't come into play; statistics should.
@@msdaniels33147make your own video crybaby
Drugs and crime has ruined these areas. Maybe eventually the prices to live here will drive the poor people away. It is getting too expensive to live here even for a lot of middle income people.
True. It's gonna be bulldoze and turn into high-rises.
Many parts of Miami feels like a 3rd world country. Many of the people make you feel like you have encountered an animalistic tribe, rather than civilized people.
Many things said are inaccurate. Many neighborhoods mentioned are not dangerous
Seriously
Miami is like every big city. Just look over your shoulder and be aware of your surroundings.
The tourist places just keep your eyes over.
Miami Beach
Lil Havana
Wynnewood
Bayside
Coconut grove.
u sound like a real civilian but you greatly describe the canvas of Miami's dangerous neighborhoods.
I got a question why u separate liberty square and Brownsville aka brownsub did u know they both in liberty city I'm from liberty city I'm from the north side of liberty city tho I'm not from liberty square I'm from brownsub but anyways why did you separate it you must was breakin it down for people to know 🤔

Up north like Baltimore their is Baltimore City and Baltimore county. Two separate places even though Bmore county surrounds the city

North Miami and South Miami 💯
I lived in miami for 10 years, i’m surprised that Hialeah was not in the top 10
Hialeah is "the city that always progress." It's more of upper middle class place.
Oh please get real
Why do you pronounce Allapatah like that?
Not sure 😅
You can ALWAYS tell someone who hasn't lived in a particular city for a time (if even at all), doesn't know how locals pronounce street names, it's a dead giveaway! 😉
Ah La Pa duh
Wherever you're being processed for court when they arrest you, whether in Florida City to the county line to the north. Its all a part of Miami. Miami is the seat of the Miami-Dade county so EVERYTHING is processed through downtown. All county commissioners, city managers, incorporated and unincorporated townships in Dade go through Miami for EVERYTHING.

#2- little Haiti
#3- liberty city

@@Think1stMedia i might move to miami soon
@SOUTHERN LIFE if you have 💰, that's a good idea. If you don't, then don't do it. Too move to a nice part of the city, not low income and not average, I mean middle class suburbs and above. You need money.
If you are moving there just to be average, that's silly. Never move to a new city just to live in someone else's ghetto or low income area. It's different if you are from there.
Same goes for NY, Cali, ATL, or anywhere else. Why move to a ghetto you didn't grow up in??? That just puts a target on your back.
Or why move to a city, just to be average??? Or just get buy???
Miami takes money to live well. You can spend half the money somewhere else and get a huge house 🏠 in an upper tier neighborhood. Then, use the money you save to visit Miami as much as you like. I don't know your finances, only you know that. But if you aren't already Ballin, what are you moving there for?
The cost of living is getting out of control in South Florida, but if you got it like that, then do it.
