I am remember the 80s growing up here on the very block. It hasn't change just the drug. Saw my own dad begging for money at the end . Shit fucks with your head
@@robertchilders8698So did I. I spent my first 6 years of my life in the early’50’s near McArthur Park. I lived in tenements near Echo Park. Ugly ugly ugly! Now there’s nothing but derelicts, pushers, junkies, hoes, & gang bangers there. Not even cops are willing to be there.
The homeless are now everywhere, but the good news is that the murder rate is nowhere near the murder rate in the nineties. The murder rate is about 2,000 less a year than in the nineties
As a child i used to walk up from Olympic north all way to 3rd st..my mom worked at a clinic up there,it was bad then in 80's now you couldn't pay me to go there..its a shit hole!
I lived at Alvarado and 3rd for seven years and walked my dog every morning and every night, walked to the subway, walked to the store and to all my favorite restaurants, MacArthur Park, La Fayette Park and Echo Park without incident. Yes, it's an oppressed area, but if you're smart enough to avoid rat infested alleys, there are some really beautiful aspects to behold. A real film maker would recognize that.
@libbykaynorris never said I was a filmmaker first of all 2nd of all been to every single spot ur talking about filmed them all just never uploaded them and also I don't upload anything anymore so it looks like I just want to make the area look bad but oh well Intentions will always be misunderstood
Yes you’re absolutely right, notice all the people enjoying wonderful cali outdoors? There was wildlife 4 legged and 2 legged? Couldn’t tell them apart sometimes. And the smells of nature I’m sure are “earthy” and memorable im sure. Take a vacation to LA a place forever burned into your memory.
Why are they all slumped over 🤔 Sleeping after taking a hit maybe? So scary. They all look like 🧟♂️ So sad. That's the alley you don't walk down. Prayers for all 🙏
I get that movies dont want to gjve away the story in the trailer, but at least give us a hint! Cant wait to see this movie when it comes out...the found-footage style got me hooked!
Damn I was born in l.a. county general hospital in 1980 lived in the mc Arthur park area mostly between Olympic and Alvarado to Wilshire and union.. in hotels mostly, it was hell back then, it's crazy what the videos show
it's definitely changed, it's still not the place to walk around naively at night but there aren't people getting killed everyday. maybe every other day lol but not hot like it used to be
Strange how this third world country looked so much like Amrerica. So many American businesses over there. I’ll take a vacation over there someday when I’m feeling depressed. It’ll cheer me up when I reflect how much better my life is living in a cave in Afghanistan
LA has its nice areas and also horrible places like this but to be honest it's mostly nice in the outskirts .. places like Gardena, el Segundo, inglewood , Culver city santa Monica it's are pretty nice. spots
that’s shortsided LA like everywhere on this planet has it’s good and it’s bad. LA is a huge place and for people to solely judge this massive city on skid row isnt fair. that said, LA does have work to do to address poverty in the city
@@muswensrud6179 lol I work there you’re telling me that’s something new 😂 16 year old card won’t save you from buying crack you think I wouldnt recognize the breathing of a man excited he has crack? I picked up right after you you didn’t see me lol 😂 😂😂 I’m just fuckin around lol
Do you live in the area? How much is rent there? My brother paroled last month after doing 31 years and he's in a program close to MacArthur Park. The house that he's staying in is huge, but the area is rundown like a motherfukker.
@@mrski749 nah, if anything it was worse lol what are you talking about? soooo many people used to get killed, hella drive bys etc. the drug problem and homelessness is worse but that's the whole damn country tbh
Just to clue you guys in, MacArthur Park has been like this for 50 years. I should know I grew up there when I was a kid.
I lived next to MacArthur Park in the fiftys! It was going downhill ever since then! It was not safe for a decent, honest person!!😢😢
The battlefield
In the late 1990s not as many homeless people as today

Born and raised in LA. The scariest thing I saw in this video was the rats.
Wrong!! The scariest thing was not the rats! It was the people!
The crazy part about it is rents are up to the roof to live in an area like this, only cuz is LA fucked that good thing I left.
You are brave my friend. Thanks for that look into that World.
Thanks for watching Charla 👍👍

Bro scientists can't even grow their rats to be as big as the ones in LA
Damn I was born in l.a. county general hospital in 1980 lived in the mc Arthur park area mostly between Olympic and Alvarado to Wilshire and union.. in hotels mostly, it was hell back then, it's crazy what the videos show
it was definitely a lot more dangerous back then in terms of shootings and stabbings but i bet the fentanyl and homeless wasn't as bad back then huh?
You had that hustle in your step lol! And damn it looks jist like kenzo

@And-the-new probably so lol feddyed out lol
Shit breaks my heart. The city I love
Yeah, it's gotten much worse with the homeless, but the bright side is that the murder rate is down by at least 2,000 a year compared to the nineties.
That's crazy and learn some big old rats😮
Yea for real huge rats
Everybody looks like they are doing the mannequin challenge
🎶“Black beetles playing”🎶
Lmao
I can almost smell it through the phone.
Where they're are rats, there are fleas. In LA's homeless camps, outbreaks of typhus occur.
What's wrong with the homeless? They eat the rats in India! So what's wrong with americans eating rats too? Good way to get rid of the fleas?
Imagine a country playin god all over the world but cant fight drug problems and child traffic in their own land
Imagine that 😂
All these millionaire moguls and high taxes in Cali and we can’t fix this ??
Wow, that’s extremely sad to see really. Stay safe bro!
Thx for watching bro

Its about quality over quantity. These aren't high quality people no matter how many you put on the sidewalk.
Um ok I never titled it the high quality people of LA bottom line is they are just people so get the hate outta here
