My grandmother lived on Lippincott Street (shown early in the video) in the 1970s. It looked nothing like the ankle-deep garbage dump it does today. Back then it was a clean, working class neighborhood where people did the simple things like keep the garbage from piling up on the streets. Not big money -- or big government -- efforts, just basic pride of place.
I've seen the same in my grandparents' neighborhood. Demographic changes, but really, _cultural_ changes brought in the drugs, the street violence, and a whole underclass of people who think life would be great if not for the police interfering in their anti-social behavior.
Kind of sad to see that nobody there thinks lets clean up my own street or atleast in front of my own house. Cleaning up a bit & applying a bit of new paint to your house will already transform the looks of that area by alot. Hell even making a nice garden between those houses can be done for really cheap.
I had a friend come to my house from Philadelphia to Pennsylvania and when it was time for him to leave he started crying saying he didn’t want to go back to Philadelphia but his mom forced him to go back. My parents were willing to take care of him to. I haven’t seen or talked to him for 10 years after that day he left. Hopefully he’s still alive and well.
Those houses, with a bit of love and care, could look very attractive. Does look like one or two of them are still taken care of, which makes the remainder all the sadder
@@JitzyJTthese houses come from the English when they arrived have a look at Liverpool Manchester in fact most English towns and cities have row house just like this
@@JitzyJT yeah I know what your saying and I'm saying in England housing like this doesn't necessarily mean that. Although in some cities it does housing like this can be worth a lot in some cities as it was originally slum dwellers that worked at the local factories then in the 60s and 70s they built council estates similar to projects basically government funded housing although alot of these homes these days have been brought by owners. With there close proximity to the city these days in England some places that look like this are very well off although generally Edwardian style row houses not Victoria n red bricks are worth more up to a million in parts of London
I grew up visiting Philly as a kid in the 80’s and overall it was a nice city with limited rundown areas but this is just another example of the decline of our nation.
0:15 actually love this setup. The curb kinda acts as a free throw line. Street is midrange. Other curb is from downtown. I’m sure that shit gets heated
The sad thing is, if cleaned up, these buildings especially the red brick ones would look so lovely. It would look like some nice places in London, swear down.
@@bjkarana yeah. ive seen the video firsthand lmao, these type of videos only serve to promote classism. you guys are literally watching poor people live out their lives as if its some kind of movie, its disgusting.
@@vanabantas6085 I think it's good to show it in it's raw form. For all the flowery political rhetoric, _this_ is what the reality is in many major US cities.
@@ZachLeehandler Well overspending on the police won't help anyone and it's clearly not working, maybe invest some of that money into something that actually helps communities
What could be done for the communities? Job opportunities or more welfare? To have more job opportunities you have to have businesses that want to move into that community and open, but without the police the business would be robbed immediately. So it's a vicious circle.
Deuteronomy 28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Deuteronomy 28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Deuteronomy 28:18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Deuteronomy 28:19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
You get off the highway and this is what the whole area is like. People get mad and tell me, "There are nice parts of Philadelphia!" I haven't seen them.
it kinda looks like parts of london with the row homes with their own colours n what not, literally if they jus kept the street clean and those giant grassy abandoned lots could have a playground or something added, these areas could be great to live in, but its a shame cos the community doesnt want to come together
I grew up in this neighborhood and I'm 71 years old and live in a much nicer area now after moving out of the area 35 years ago. Please let me explain something to you. There's Philadelphia and then there's Philly. What you're seeing in this video is Philly.
Looks like it used to be a nice blue-collar neighborhood. Today it's an extended dangerous-looking guetto. That's a reality for most US citizens: No golden-paved streets.
Never seen so much trash and dirt on the streets and sidewalks as here. It could be such a cozy and nice neighborhood but why do they not take care of it? This has nothing to do with money.
We want to see what the future holds for our once beautiful society. As the population of the people in the video grows and the ones who hold society together population sinks this will soon be everywhere and no one will have nice things. South Africa for example
A place so grim the sun doesn't even want to shine there. Sad!

That means that they would have to do something.
We're so proud of our acheivements as humans. Then there's this. Cant beleive that this is how we've built society.
Whats wrong with it ?
When those in charge send billions of dollars to every other country, yet hate the country that put them in charge. This is the result.
u do know its other cities right

I will never understand how people have no pride in where they live. Why do they feel it's ok to just thrash their own neighborhood?
The streets are small and the houses are so close it looks like they're living on top of each other.
Can you imagine being raised in the neighborhood like that? What chance would you have?
It’s not the neighborhoods fault. If it were all Asians here it would be prosperous area.
I can imagine was raised in philly it's normal to us. I got out when I was 23 and got into law enforcement. Did ma dirt at an early age and got out
Parents are leading the lambs into slaughter. I don’t recommend having children while poor.
Baltimore streets are the same....

They worse

I was waiting for Rocky to appear and take a jog
round up the porch dwellers and put every one to work......
not everyone on a porch is doing something bad, some are talking to family, taking a cigarette break, watching the kids play, cooking out, etc.

There's a few open lots between row houses where it's grassy and it has a tree..and you can have a picnic and get with nature in the community.
Shocking Philadelphia has a democratic mayor, right?
Shocking that someone would comment on this! 😂 same old rhetoric

There is none.

Depressed bc of you know who

Probably more dilapidation
Some do, some don’t
Looks like just alleys if anything
We got alley ways but dey small and u wud have 2 wlk single file line 2 get through
The alleys in Philly are weird

I believe, you like good ole Philadelphia. You've revisited many times 😆😆 but don't worry, I like Philly too 😆
It's a group on this planet that is cursed and I can't sit here and act like I don't see it.
Not cursed. By choice. Where ever they are its like this.

Yea bro it’s bad. I wish I could unsee it. I question anyone who isn’t radical in this.
"NO", YOU FEEBLE MINDED ZOMBIE BOT, THIS WHOLE SATAN SYSTEM ZOMBIE EARTH IS CURSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a clean city!
What in the american dream hell is going on here?!
This makes me want a good ole Philly cheesesteak
I pray and hope the children shown have bright and healthy futures. You can make it! You can do it!
I wish I could see them when there new
Search for the video “Philadelphia a city of neighborhoods 1890-1910”
It was Al white people then
visited philly for the summer back in the mid seventies,,,,didnt look like this,,,,,,
a lot can happen in 50 years
The younger folk are too entitled to improve their neighborhoods.
@@MantasNan lol
@MantasNan right, its only the younger generations that are too lazy to clean up trash in their own yards.
Most people that live in these neighborhoods are extremely arrogant and aggressive. I’m amazed people still have babies to live amongst them.
This streets looks like in the movie location from ROCKY 1.
You get off the highway and this is what the whole area is like. People get mad and tell me, "There are nice parts of Philadelphia!" I haven't seen them.
"Hi, I'm looking for Malibu Golf Course"
Does rocky still live here?
Surely the grimmest looking place in the world 🌎
Woke people will look you straight in the face and tell you adding more of the people in this video will make society better. Scary times
yeah it a concrete jungle Allright but it's home for some
And it was a safe, pleasant home for others before ‘some’ destroyed it
Not made for cars historic neighborhoods...maybe a bit tragic today but the history displayed is compelling.
Looks like you could step outside and see your neighbor face to face lol😂
If you want some action go to south Philly and you find what your looking for your destiny 😮

Would they freak if they caught you filming them??
they'll scream "I Can't Breathe"
i live in philly and if u driving around the hood filming people brazenly your gonna have issue 💯

Well if visit Philly I will stay Downtown
Gee , I wonder why ?
Your mum?
a proper hood
The tourist areas in Philly are certainly kept nicer. Shame
Charlie bo stop,But dude was not paying attention with his surroundings.
People showing the Kensington streets gets old real fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nada demais , um bairro bem estrurado perto de centro comerciais não não tem oque temer .
Looks ready for the 2025 NFL Draft! 😑

America was the richest country in the world, right?
Not anymore
Even if it were nice, the roads can barely accommodate cars. Just level the whole place and start over.
Very unsustainable und not necessary. These neighborhoods can be very nice if someone would take care of them.
I see why they call it a jungle it looks congested as hell
What a mess. Rubbish people living there. Messy. They should clean a bit at least
Pittsburgh pa no different than Philly or even Allentown or Scranton all of those places suck😮big time 😮
lol naw buddy. It’s a hug difference in every city you named . Allentown/Scranton is nothing like Philly
Какой мрачный ужасный
They should turn these places to a training ground for the AC-130 gunship.
still better than neighbourhoods in India's richest city Mumbai
Philadelphia’s ranked #50 in the world for homicide rate, not a single city in india made the list so they must be doing something better
@@jboy856 Sweden ranks higher than India in rape cases. India is safer than Sweden for women? There's a thing called under reporting
Looks to be the poor area of town judging by all the filth and graffiti.
Why do you never show any nice areas. 🤔🙏✝️ ❤🇬🇧
no one wants to see nice areas...........supply and demand

Dirty just like their basketball players
This shittt is scary..

Yeah Mf the jungle fasho hope my black ppl get better & do better soon 🥶
Why do you think someone is "your people" just because their skin is an arbitrary color? Humans are all out for themselves
Conveniently the oppressor class (rich, police, etc) don't live in such conditions
This type of living conditions is by choice and decisions we make in life.Nobody to blame but yourself and being the victim.
boo hoo
Yes, because the oppressor class (i.e., "other people") is responsible for ankle deep garbage on every street.
🤡
Still doesn't give the poor people an excuse to live in total trash.its not the governments responsibility to clean up after everyone
wakanda forever
