One major factor to take into consideration is that U.S. cities like Boston and Minneapolis did not rely nearly as much on heavy manufacturing to the extent that U.S. cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, and Saint Louis did. When deindustrialization occurred; cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, and Saint Louis experienced massive job losses and massive population losses. This probably heavily contributed to erosion of the tax base, which means that there is now not enough finances to maintain infrastructure, so things just decayed and contributed to urban blight that we see today in these cities. Detroit's peak population was 1,849,568 according to the 1950 Census. The population as of the 2022 estimate is 620,376.
I grew up just outside of Boston. Most cities in New England relied heavily on manufacturing, especially textiles, but that industry went bust in the 1920s and 1930s, which allowed for a longer time of transition into the modern service economy compared to Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh. While it's true that Boston was never reliant on a single industry for employment like Pittsburg relied steel, and Detroit relied on automobiles, it certainly went through periods of urban decay, just like most other cities in New England. Boston has largely gentrified and many of the smaller cities in the greater Boston area like Brockton, Lowell, Lawrence, Manchester (NH), and Worcester have seen a significant uptick in drugs and violent crime as people move out of gentrified areas in Boston.
@@bjkarana yes in MA we have all the "dead mill towns" that relied heavily on certain industries and are known for crime today such as Lowell, Methuen, Lawrence, Fall River, New Bedford, Brockton, Springfield etc. They died out and some are coming back. Boston never took the brunt of that decline and those towns are still relatively safe compared to the national crime rate Lowell is pretty nice imo, I lived in most of those
@@iand4374 Agreed. I grew up in Manchester during the 80s and 90s and while the drugs and violent crime have increased significantly, it's not anything like some of the bigger cities I've lived in. It's just frustrating to see my hometown decline, but at least in the case of Lowell, it's doing pretty well now.
Boston's nothing like it was up into the 80s, though still some rough areas in Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan and JP. Watch out for those potholes Charlie!🤣👍👍
I was born and baptized in Boston. Worked much of my life in Boston repairing heating systems. Been retired for some years now and I cannot remember any locations here in this video. I think it's Dorchester which is a big city part of Metropolitan Boston. I last worked in the Dorchester city part of Boston back in the 1990s. I'm old now. Times have changed things.
Lotta gentrified areas but at the same time you see lots of fiends. Notice all the black people you see everywhere but all the corner stores are Spanish.
3:40 is a perfect example of what is typically done in Taxachusetts. They bandaid areas make them look nice so they can can keep selling high. Get the little people out.
The STATE helps to send all the welfare people to cities like LOWELL, LAWRENCE, BROCKTON, HAVERHILL, etc. so that BOSTON can cater to all the people with money......
In the 90's, my friend called it Roxbury, Blaxachusetts as a joke since the state is so white. But compared to Baltimore, Boston "hoods" are like Palm Springs.
Boston is just more urban than y’all’s cities real estate is more expensive so they somewhat take care of it but don’t get caught slippin on some of those side streets y’all will learn how real it gets real quick
Boston isn't nearly as bad as other cities. But, there are some dangerous areas of the city. One street can be a quiet and safe residential street and the street one block over is a dangerous residential street. You won't find blocks of buildings abandoned or burned out because real estate is too expensive and gentrification is happening. The Boston Police Department does a pretty good job and usually without going too far over the line too often.
I remember Mission Hill in Roxbury back in the late 1970s early 1980s. It was one of the most dangerous areas of Boston. Nobody would go there to fix an oil burner lets say. But those who did go there were treated with royalty even by muggers I'm telling the truth. Man needs to stay warm in the winter and so even a white man like myself it was safe to go there and repair an oil burner. It was a knuckle busting job too because of all the decay and rust and mickey mouse work but I made money. Free guarantied money handed out by the State to poor tenants and slumlords so they can stay warm.
During that same timeframe what was then called the Columbia Point projects in Dorchester were so bad that when there was a fire out there the fire department would stop at the entrance on Mt Vernon street and wait for a police escort. These days it's high priced water front apartments.@@Mardasee
I lived in Boston for 4 years 2004-2008 (I am from VA). Boston had a great rap scene back then lot of Boston guys were nice on the mic (Smoke Bulga, Masspike Mike, Big Shug and many more I can not remember their names). I just never understood how much hate black folks in that city had for each other IF they were from different projects, hoods or whatever. I worked a night shift job with a Cape Verdean guy who told me he lost 3 of his brothers to the streets (they were all murdered). I had only ever met another person in this country in Baltimore that also lost 3 brothers to the streets being killed. There are parts of Boston's so called Ghetto area that would be normal apartments anywhere else in this country in fact to this date it is the cleanest big city I have ever lived in. I would bet anything the guy who did this video would agree with me.
Boston never fell as hard as other major US cities, but you also happened to live in Boston during a time when the economy was surging, and the incredibly violent Irish and Italian mob wars were over. Many areas gentrified in the 90s and 2000s which pushed a lot of people out to the smaller cities in the Boston area, which has diluted Boston's old high crime areas to nothing like what they were during the 70s and 80s. Similar thing happened in DC during the 2000s when crime fell from the craziness of the 80s and 90s as poor folks moved out to PG county, although violent crime in DC is on the rise again.
Much of Metropolitan Boston was a dump at one time. Due to rent control. When rent control ended in the 1990s within a decade or so later Boston bloomed. The problem today is high rent. Only people with money or section 8 can live decently.
Good thing you weren't driving around yesterday. At least 9 ppl were shot and 1 stabbed on blue hill ave near the parade that was going on. Boston does look nicer overall but still has it's bad spots. Most 2 to 3 story building you see are apartment buildings so each floor is an apartment so the population density is up.
1:43 Hartwell to Cheney Street threw the parking lot to Georgia street dont get it twisted outsiders think its a joke because its clean now. Its not Chicago New York St Louis ect every single street he rode on someone has been shot stabbed or killed ive been here 37 years i know
Lived in Greater Boston most of my life, there's sketch areas like Dorchester or Lynn but as the video shows, compared to some other places in the US its nothing.
Chelsea, Mattapan and Roxbury are also very sketchy and dangerous areas. Those neighborhoods is what makes Boston’s crime rate so bad. But at the same time, there is a lot of nice areas like the North end and overall Boston is really good and it’s amazing
As nice as Boston is to live in just like any other areas in the city, there are definitely a lot of areas to avoid, now in this video it might seem like it’s not as bad as Philly, Detroit and all the other shit holes but Boston can be very dangerous, especially at night particularly the south end. And A little bit in the North too like Chelsea. Regardless, it’s a great city, but there are still dangers.
Buddy I visited Boston about 6 times I’m from Frankford section of Philadelphia. The one time I was in Boston I legit drove around looking for a bad area. To be honest nothing came off as crazy bad by the looks of it. Dorchester and mattapan looked the worst but even then it’s nothing compared to the slums of most cities
Stop the cap… it just a bunch of crackheads at night in south end. Boston is chill and boring. That’s how we like it. We don’t want to live in fear all the time. We don’t have any hoods and that’s okay. All we need to do is clean up the crackheads and we good.
Yea these hoods nice, but it’s because there’s a lot of hard working people spending 60% of their check on rent so you have to maintain your high value real estate otherwise they will rent it out to someone else
Unsurprisingly Roxbury. That being said though I was nervous you were gonna show Allston like that (yeah I know my area's not the prettiest part of town).
@@Heyyoulady Boston definitely get it in just check the news there be a shooting every day may not be active as other city’s but definitely got its spots u buggin
I’ve been exploring downtown of holyokee masachusetts today and it was crazy. uncle told me to not go north so maybe things there would be even more mad. u should go there. I spent some cash on zombies from the street begging for food, went inside mcdonalds - wild, all things were sticky and soda spilled everywhere, junkies inside having high intelectual conversations, outside cars with volume so high the screws from their metal sheets could unscrew. when I got back home I did a research I was walking by the last shooting area and the 1 million crack spot which was shut down by feds this year, appleton/elm street, lol still feeling weird
holyoke is insane bc you see nearby towns like amherst and northampton and wonder why it's such a huge difference. i can leave my doors unlocked where i am but my friend in holyoke has gotten her house broken into twice already.
Boston is clean. Boston and philly both have that colonial look and similar histories, but philly is trash. If philly were clean like this, they would not be jockin this NY/NJ/CT area so much.
Hey Charlie, been watching your videos for years now. Thanks for showing us the hoods across the country and how they are all different. From a native Masshole born and raised, I have a suggestion. You gotta hit Brockton. North Main Street, North Montello Street, Ames Street... I haven't been in ten or so years so maybe it's gotten better, but when I was growing up those places were pretty rough and run down. Brockton used to be a big factory city and got hit hard when they began outsourcing factory jobs.
My entire family, my parents first, then my four brothers and sisters were born at St. Margarets hosp up on Sawyer Ave. My personal heydays were in the 70s & 80s.
They are still bad. The Dominican's and brothers kill each other over rap music. The Cape Verdean's kill each other over dumb sh%!. It's generational cycle. Labor Day Dominican's walked into a barber shop shot and killed a customer in front of a dozen people. SMH all over Drill Rap.
I was born and raised here and Boston is totally peaceful, there are two places that have a good amount of homeless people (Mass Ave and Central sq) And they don't bother anyone, they mostly keep to themselves…..
I will love to visit Boston but some of yall folks on these comments geez all this questioning about Boston got hoods or it doesn't look hood or it looks or it's not dangerous clean like that's supposed to be a bad thing or something people like that really needs to grow up because it's hoods everywhere regardless low crime rate or not and last time I checked Boston has one of the most notorious gangsters to come out of the city not tryna glorify or nothing but it's the truth
Bruh I used to hang out at these kinds of places. Never considered them hoods because of the type of shit I'd see in Detroit and Chicago but I guess they the hoodiest places in MA?
I've been to Boston twice and felt pretty safe most of the time, but like all major cities, it was not exempt from bad areas. I know around Dudley Square (now renamed to Nubian Sq) and around Mattapan are pretty sus areas, but not as bad as most other major cities for sure. Springfield, on the other hand, is worse from what I heard (I've never been so I can't confirm).
Yeah, generally speaking, Boston's "bad" areas aren't too bad at all. Yes, "Murderpan" (Mattapan) can be very shaky, but Boston is by and large a nice city in most areas. Now contrast that to Springfield, MA, which is an absolute blight. When I was last there about 15 yrs ago, there wasn't much of anything redeeming in that hell hole of a city.
Lol Springfield. I heard Holyoke was worse than Springfield but I know about Springfield too. You saying Springfield is worse than boston is wild… I’m from 15 minutes away from Springfield. Hartford. Y’all definitely not more Litt or dangerous than Hartford Connecticut. That’s facts. Y’all don’t be having more homicides than homicide hartford!
@@travelandeats8518 you happy about that? You in a city where even more mofos are getting killed? That's not a healthy way of thinking my boy. And I'm from Baltimore I know what I'm talking about. My city needs help and apparently so does yours
@@mikes3827 Even Mattapan these days you gotta be very unlucky for anything to happen to you. I took a bus to Mattapan Sq and walked around at 9:30pm on a Friday on night and there were people out enjoying the night on their way downtown and others just getting off of work. One dude was sippin Henny on the bus and an older woman asked him "you gon do that on here?" He replied, "I just got off a 13 hour shift I've been looking forward to this" and she simply nodded and said "I heard that" That right there is community and it's something Boston's got throughout and why it's gone relatively low crime since the 90s
Well, at first I could watch these videos as a kind of disaster porn, and think "That's awful, I'm sure glad I happen to live HERE!"... but then I see some and... It's places I used to live! So that's chilling, and I can at least be glad that circumstances brought me out of THERE. (It's not like I have a PLAN). Then... "Oh, no! That's where I live NOW!" Or nearby, maybe places I often visit.... Today we're at the final stage: This is a destination city where I have dreamed of living, gave up after a decade or so of trying... and now I'm about to go have a VACATION in Boston! It's just not funny anymore. I mean, some of these videos show us places that are horrifying disasters, and some just seem like kind of beat neighborhoods but they still have grass and trees and working buildings... I just don't want to see a vacation destination ON THIS LIST! Oh, well!
I never seen so many mansions in a black area! From Baltimore brother lives in Boston I'm sure Boston is gangsta but at least y'all Bostonians clean up after yoursely
Not mansion! Not hoods either. Just Overpriced apartments and housing complexes. We not gangsta. We are civil, chill, and happy to live in a safe area.

Agreed, although parts of Woonsocket are getting much better, but Providence is worse in terms of crime
@@bostonwarrior4824 true
Would he be brave enough to attempt P-Town in summah? @@bostonwarrior4824
These are some nice homes
The triple-decker at 8:50 is a mother fucker to move into iykyk 😂😂
....and family grocery shopping, especially the third floor apartment. However, Your legs will look good.
Irish hoods💀
that is not the Irish part of Boston.
that's in Southie
i mean can we get some morton at footage… gallivan bricks 915
Was there any time where these hoods were bad?
In the city's nearly 400 years history, I'm sure at some time yeah
They are still bad. The Dominican's and brothers kill each other over rap music. The Cape Verdean's kill each other over dumb sh%!. It's generational cycle.
Labor Day Dominican's walked into a barber shop shot and killed a customer in front of a dozen people. SMH all over Drill Rap.
Does Boston have an outskirt of NYC feel to it?
Fucks no that ct Springfield Jersey type shit
Yes.
@@guiltyuntilproveninnocent.Fuck no!. Boston has its own niche.
Hood or no Hood… the houses (real estate)are in the millions.
I’m from Boston what the hell happened
Boston kinda looking like San Francisco and Oakland 👀
Not Oakland
go to Lawrence, more hoods there
I was born and raised here and Boston is totally peaceful, there are two places that have a good amount of homeless people (Mass Ave and Central sq)
And they don't bother anyone, they mostly keep to themselves…..
Politics politics and policies
I will love to visit Boston but some of yall folks on these comments geez all this questioning about Boston got hoods or it doesn't look hood or it looks or it's not dangerous clean like that's supposed to be a bad thing or something people like that really needs to grow up because it's hoods everywhere regardless low crime rate or not and last time I checked Boston has one of the most notorious gangsters to come out of the city not tryna glorify or nothing but it's the truth
I agree, they should go to manila PH, there are places that make Philadelphia and Detroit look like Hollywood
We don’t care about them old “gangsta”. They don’t exist now. Boston is cleaner, safer and chill now. We are thankful for that.
I like how the «hood» in Boston looks like an upscale neighbourhood.
You Not really riding through where it’s active at..
Boston a little rough ngl
First
Is your car wrapped? Or say the Chanel name on the side? I seen you came to my hood in San Antonio was wondering if people ever recognize you
Bruh I used to hang out at these kinds of places. Never considered them hoods because of the type of shit I'd see in Detroit and Chicago but I guess they the hoodiest places in MA?
and Detroit and Chicago are paradise compared to New Orleans
@@m.j.w.2876 and new orleans is paradise compared to haiti
@@lo11163 Everywhere is 😂
There’s other cities like Springfield, worchester, Brockton, newbedford etc
Go down Lenox
Do newbedford
Dude drives so fast, he act like he scared to get out and look around
Scared? In Boston 😂😂😂
Eu gosto de Boston, cidade bonita
The hoods in Boston are still nicer than hoods most everywhere else in the country!
They loook better cuz mayor made it look that way 10 years ago shi looked ass
I live 30 miles south of there.
I hate that city.
Just had to look up that mural at 3:50 called breathe life.
I've been to Boston twice and felt pretty safe most of the time, but like all major cities, it was not exempt from bad areas. I know around Dudley Square (now renamed to Nubian Sq) and around Mattapan are pretty sus areas, but not as bad as most other major cities for sure.
Springfield, on the other hand, is worse from what I heard (I've never been so I can't confirm).
Yeah, generally speaking, Boston's "bad" areas aren't too bad at all. Yes, "Murderpan" (Mattapan) can be very shaky, but Boston is by and large a nice city in most areas. Now contrast that to Springfield, MA, which is an absolute blight. When I was last there about 15 yrs ago, there wasn't much of anything redeeming in that hell hole of a city.
I heard Lawrence Mass is a bad city too
Lol Springfield. I heard Holyoke was worse than Springfield but I know about Springfield too. You saying Springfield is worse than boston is wild… I’m from 15 minutes away from Springfield. Hartford. Y’all definitely not more Litt or dangerous than Hartford Connecticut. That’s facts. Y’all don’t be having more homicides than homicide hartford!
@@travelandeats8518 you happy about that? You in a city where even more mofos are getting killed? That's not a healthy way of thinking my boy. And I'm from Baltimore I know what I'm talking about. My city needs help and apparently so does yours
@@mikes3827 Even Mattapan these days you gotta be very unlucky for anything to happen to you. I took a bus to Mattapan Sq and walked around at 9:30pm on a Friday on night and there were people out enjoying the night on their way downtown and others just getting off of work. One dude was sippin Henny on the bus and an older woman asked him "you gon do that on here?" He replied, "I just got off a 13 hour shift I've been looking forward to this" and she simply nodded and said "I heard that" That right there is community and it's something Boston's got throughout and why it's gone relatively low crime since the 90s
Cleanest Hood I ever seen
Beautiful city. Would love to live there
Bom sábado🤝👍🏻
Well, at first I could watch these videos as a kind of disaster porn, and think "That's awful, I'm sure glad I happen to live HERE!"... but then I see some and... It's places I used to live! So that's chilling, and I can at least be glad that circumstances brought me out of THERE. (It's not like I have a PLAN). Then... "Oh, no! That's where I live NOW!" Or nearby, maybe places I often visit.... Today we're at the final stage: This is a destination city where I have dreamed of living, gave up after a decade or so of trying... and now I'm about to go have a VACATION in Boston! It's just not funny anymore. I mean, some of these videos show us places that are horrifying disasters, and some just seem like kind of beat neighborhoods but they still have grass and trees and working buildings... I just don't want to see a vacation destination ON THIS LIST! Oh, well!
Good video as always, this place looks safer compared to most of your other videos, though of course you can't really judge too much by a short video.
I never seen so many mansions in a black area! From Baltimore brother lives in Boston I'm sure Boston is gangsta but at least y'all Bostonians clean up after yoursely
Those are apartments
each one of those floors is an apartment
Not mansion! Not hoods either. Just Overpriced apartments and housing complexes. We not gangsta. We are civil, chill, and happy to live in a safe area.
@@Heyyoulady na u jus a civ
Hoods in Boston are tame in comparison to most hoods

@@paymetuckexactly
Nope
@@paymetuck sit down foolie ,boston aint on shid
how they hoods got 3 story houses with balconys??
Those aren’t houses they’re 3 decker apartments, each floor is a separate apt. Lots of those in MA/New England cities.
room in houses/apartments (mad people live in them shits not just one family)
They are triple deckers and are three family houses
Boston natives fought for years to keep blacks out.
They knew this would be the result.
Racist ass comment coming from you.
Weird, I wonder what color most of the junkies are...
good ole townie racist. Hating on black people won't increase your brain cell count.
@@I.D.I.O.C.R.A.C.Y. White people
This comment is crazy considering Charlie is a black man. Being racist but putting money in a black man’s pockets by viewing his videos lol.
Boston look like ITS NOT FOR BLACK PPL
Ngl we everywhere! This is a black area
@Heyyoulady 10-4 educate me then bro. I'm from the South and we think like that.
