    OMG! I ran across this video! I live in Georgia and I'm from there! I went to Pacoima elementary 54 years ago and my twins went there 32 years ago. We lived on Hansen Hill, but ALL my friends lived in SF Gardens! What a blast from the past! We had softball teams and a pop Warner football team called the Buccaneers in the late 80's a lot of my friends went to the Catholic School there. Pacoima park always had theater for the local kids to act and they had plays and beauty contest and dances on the weekends! Man, memories! That was the place to be for ALL races!

    Man. I lived in a project but only until I was 4 so I don’t remember it very much. What a lot of people are unaware of though is that there are private landlords with rental properties in great neighborhoods that accept section 8 public housing. We ended up living in one of the safest cities in Southern California and I thank my mom for wanting to get us out. She made $15k/year tops with 3 kids. I think rent was a few hundred a month for her and then housing paid the remaining $1,000+ for a 2 bedroom house. I was the first one in my family to go to college and I don’t think that would have happen if we stayed. All my cousins stayed, got into gang life, and are in prison now. For all the people in this video that truly want to get out, do some research, make some phone calls, and get out! I wish you the best.

Most of these hood vlogs it seems as though many of these cats are absolutely content with living the hood life. And yes I know it's all some know but having "goals" is legit lol

    I lived in those projects when i was a kid in the eighties on pierce st. My parents moved to a house a few blocks away on osborne. Shit was crazy in the 90s i was in high school i remember everyone wanted to be a gangster there was so many gangs just blowin up everywhere you had pacas13, pacoima criminals, knock knock boyz, cayuga st, paxton st, pacoima flats, project boyz, pacoima van nuys, latin times that shit was for real tho, you would see foos at the parks or outside liquor stores atleast 10 - 20 deep and they were always packin’. All tht shit started calming down when they put the gang injunction and 3 strikes rule. A lot of the homies i went to school with are locked up and alot of them aint here anymore. RIP to all who lost their lives in the hood frontline. By the grace of God some of us are still here. Much Respect to all the homies in the struggle.

      I lived in Panorama City in the early 90s ( I was 14) and yea it was crazy times. I got mugged while riding my bike and the took it. Two older g’s and much bigger than me . One grabbed the handle bar and shook me down. A few months later we saw one of those guys being jumped by some BSF guys. Gangs were everywhere.

      @Salinascali 200 Most homeboys in the area were I lived ( Panorama , Tobias Av ) never bothered the youngens . But I was guessing that those levas were outsiders. They had different colors and sounded central american. I went to four different schools because over population in the schools and saw alot of sh*t . But hey , you live and you learn. Plummer Elementary to Frost Jr High to Sepulveda Middle. When they jumped those to punks they took their jackets off so that’s why I think they were outsiders . Much love homey. Stay safe.🤛🏽👍🏽

So you can make it out, however it's harder for ppl like us growing up in the projects. This shit keeps me humble and learning to keep respecting where I'm from and not forget. I was everywhere in L.A. messing around in different projects. I loved it, but seeing a lot is what made me make the choice to leave and change. But I love this perspective, of showing us his hood.

They all share the same penitentiary/jail type of look.

    I like how he talks about not all the violence and bad stuff, and he goes in to some of the fun and happy times too. Like the thing about racing for the coffee cake or getting chased up the stairs by his mom. This guy's cool.

      I lived in sun valley in 78 -80. Shootings at the local park all the time. Got bussed to an all white school in the hills. It was gangsta as hell. If you think this is cool you’re an idiot and have never been there. Chickens running around in the yard people chasing you trying to steal your bicycle. If we hadn’t of moved I would have gang banged for sure. I had friends with brothers who banged
