@@jpjpjp453 Yeah. I think it burned all through the Seventies. Cossell said "The Bronx is Burning!" during the 1977 World Series. But, a local Denizen was interviewed, and said "The Bronx was BURNT!"
Its not more “expensive”. Theyve been decreasing borrowing (interest) rates for 40 straight years. The reason why the bronx and manhattan were shitholes is because they suddenly jacked rates from the 60s to 70s. A lot of these buildings became worthless to the owners and the real estate tax was more than the building value. This can happen again.
@@860_Turtle No it’s never going back. Things only move forward. There’s so many people with money holding those properties and living there it’s going to go up and up overtime
I grew up in the south bronx and was nine years old in 1972 and this brings back memories. It only got worse as the 70's progressed and hit a tipping point when the '77 blackout happened. It was a fucking mess. A childhood friend did a documentary in 2019 called a "Decade of Fire" that chronicled that period. It's worth checking out. She was much braver than I as she stuck it out and is still in the bronx today. I got out in '95 and moved to SoCal. When I look at these videos it looks a lot worse than I remember. But if this is all you know than it just becomes normal. When the video starts its about 141st St and I lived 10 blocks north on 151st.
As a kid I was born and raised in the Bronx South Bronx 183rd Street 3rd Avenue Tremont Avenue Shona Avenue University Avenue Preston Avenue catrona Avenue and allways had brids in the rooftops them was my day i m always telling my wife that I would love to move back but she.s no having it i miss my city so much
@@CinCee- the Cross Bronx Expressway was the unofficial border separating the South Bronx from the North Bronx. By 1990 the Bronx up to Fordham Rd was looking like a war zone. Things didn't start to turn around until '95
I found it. Will watch your friend's video I live in London and it is now one of the worse places to live in terms of crime. Already quite a few murders happened down the road from me over the years. Never was this bad in the 70s here.
This is a great comparison. Seeing the old footage with entire sections of a block knocked down to rubble is crazy. Seeing the architecture of the few buildings standing in 1970 makes it easier to pick out newer buildings. Especially if those newer buildings take up a very long section of block then you can guess that is where a rubble pile used to be.
if you ever see a suburban looking rowhome in the Bronx with a front driveway, it was built in the 80s to 00s as part of the post-arson rebuild. Nowadays they build 6 story buildings and up, either matching or exceeding the size of the prewar ones.
The decay is just incredible, most of those apartment blocks were probably built in 1910s-1920s,.......so only took about 30 years to go from nice and clean to crumbling mess. I hope New Yorkers don't make that mistake again.
In some places in went over the edge in a real short time. My family lived in Mott Haven. When my Grandfather first got there in 1961 it was primarily a Jewish working class area, run down some but still....When we moved out to North Jersey in 1970, the Jews had all gone, the place went downhill and even the Puerto Ricans and Cubans that could see the writing on the wall were quickly leaving.

Something very significant about this video. That was Engine 82, which Dennis Smith wrote a famous book "Report from Engine Company 82" in 1972. A fascinating read about life in the South Bronx during this time period.
Cap, back then most streets were covered in trash everywhere, now the sidewalks have a lot of trash (even then it’s mostly in Manhattan) but the streets are fine
Wow this was 1972 and I was 4yo but grew up in bklyn with happy good times even the 70s were a crazy time for us and I had my fun during my childhood 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😁👍
God be praised! 2020 Bronx looks MUCH better! I'm glad to see only 1 liquor store, and several small and medium size grocery stores!!! Thanx CharlieBo!!!
I remember my family told me back in 1980, when my dad came to this country and moved to NJ, somebody gave him a ride to The Bronx to visit some relatives, and by mistake, he ended up in South Bronx, and the welcome was somebody threw a can of soda to his car, lol.
Start of the video the fire truck makes a right on Simpson St. That same building is still there on the corner but the rest of the block is unrecognizable

It's still hood, but they've economically somewhat revitalized it (pretty much no more abandoned buildings anymore). It's messed up when they realize an area is close to Manhattan and wanna gentrify it rather than helping ppl get jobs.
I grew up in a public housing project in da South Bronx in the 60s and 70s. Not all of the South Bronx was a shithole back then. It was decent in the 60s. Around 1970 it started to get bad in my area with more crime and street gangs. As good people left no matter the ethnicity lower quality people replaced them. It wasn't just white flight to Co-op City and Long island. Some of my black and Hispanic friends moved away. When people had the ability to move they moved. The South Bronx encompasses a large area. Some 'hoods were better than others. Like many people I have good and bad memories of the Bronx. Born and raised there for my first 18 years.

There is and was always good people, but regardless there was a lot of fucking crime in every neighborhood, white, black etc, even if they dressed nice, although most of the bad ppl hung out in the abandoned buildings and what not so you don’t see them In These videos. Same situation in white neighborhoods then too (unless that particular block was protected by mobsters$
@@kzfive I was born in 1876. We had segregation back then. We smoked pipes and women knew their place. Great days. I had a bad neighbor once and I shot him in a duel. He died a week later. I want to go back
Back before the south Bronx was called the Bronx is burning,it was the best part of the Bronx,known for its great location for shopping,brewery s and parks,etc. Since the late eighties its slowly rebuilding including pretty houses built where there were burned out shells of apt buildings and filthy lots
At least today is a civilized area, where people can live with dignity (despite problems may remain, as in other neighbourhoods). Greetings from Spain!
