Is it any kind of way you can send this to CNN. Or to Fox this is like a third world country. Not the US they wouldn't let the Afghans or ukrainians or even the illegals live like this. But it's good enough for our little poor little boys and girls that live like this. The US should be ashamed of themselves. This is no way for anyone to grow up. Not in the richest country in the world. When we're getting billions and millions to everyone else. Please send this to someone this is so sad. 🙆🏽♀️😔🙏🏽
@@playera1507 hey I don't even live there I just think it's the horrible the way. our people have to live black people that is. Why government is making sure. That people that has never been to the United States live better. But I see my comment is upsetting so many people. This s*** is crazy I'm 53 years old. And there's no way that I will have my children living like that. And I wish they did not want their children to live that way either. Sorry my comment upset so many people. 🤦🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️😔😉🤣🤣
This is heartbreaking. All these grown people and no one wants to pick up the trash or take any pride to clean. GHetto is not where you live, it's a mentality.
Yrs ago before I started driving commercial, I worked for a temp agency. We came here and picked up trash cleaned one whole section of housing up.. Came back the next morning and the same area we cleaned looked worse than the day before. Also behind this complex is the federal penitentiary!
I remember asking my coworker about his time in the hood. He told me it was ok when he was growing up but when he had his son all he wanted to do was leave. "I wanted to watch my son grow up not bury him"
@@dotwavexploresyou look like a college girl and argee with this dm shta? The expenses doesn’t change the politicians and city authority, action and spending, THEY CANNOT REBUILD WHATS NOT THEIRS and what they’ve got and are put!
They obviously don't mind it otherwise they'd leave . I know I'd find the means to leave as soon as I turned 18 as I'd at minimum join the military just to get away and never come back . This isn't communist China , in the USA you're free to move and live anywhere as this is a choice .
The fact that they can say the worse thing going on in that neighborhood is snitching shows their mentality and is a clear indication of how lost they are.
Man fuck that no snitching shit. It’s not about snitching it’s about fixing a community full of low lives who murder their own people for nothing. What’s wrong with our peoples head
They first said murderer and killing. Y'all choose to hear what you want to. The problem with this neighborhood is the broken window theory. Look it up yourself. Education is important.
How any parent could keep a child trapped in that living situation is beyond me. Songs playing all day about hoes, guns, drugs, cops and gangbanging. Gee, I truly wonder how the kids will turn out..... Ill be dead honest tho, I dont want these type of people around me as you can tell they dont care about themselves, let alone how their yards look or how their kids act. Just putridly vile in every aspect.
What planet are you on, if you give a Hoot don’t Pollute. Clean up your dilapidated housing project with no running water, trash collection, AC and the highest crime rate in the city. Pickup a bit and everything is solved.
facts, they have their priorities all fucked up.. grown men walking around with thousands of dollars worth of designer backpacks and gear but letting their kids live in condemned buildings.. if you can hustle enough money for designer clothes than you can easily hustle your way up out of that shit hole. its all a matter of choices.
IT'S AMAZING I SAW NICE CARS AND HAIR !!!! AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WHEN ----- TALK ABOUT SNITCHES , THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE BABIES THEY ARE BRING INTO THIS WORLD!!!!
These kids literally have to be a diamond in the rough to make it out of some of these places. As an Uber driver for the past 5 years I’ve seen it firsthand. Most of these kids will literally have to be above & beyond literally everyone to even have a chance of making it out of what they were born into. So sad.
@@terriwest8227 no no no. First off who tf would clean up somebody else trash? It's just going to keep getting trash there. It's just how it is. You can't blame the kids for the bs that adults should do
Doesn’t surprise me, these people don’t pick up trash, fix anything, maintain anything, and expect everyone to take care of them. Adult children is what they are. Build something nice, let them move in and see what it looks like after 5 years. And this is coming from a man who has been in real estate and rentals for decades
Yes and every comment defending these ppl is blaming the government 😂 the Ellis’s island immigrants got NADA from the government back in the day! They worked!
Well, I lived in those first abandoned apartments. It was lively and festive back in the late 70s early 80s. Being so close to the federal penitentiary it wasn't a nice location to raise kids. But as a child I had good memories.
@@crow2swann5 I can relate Shimon. I was brought up in the notorious Richard Allen Projects in Philly in the 60's. It was basically a war zone but as a kid I have the best memories...weird. I guess we were just too young to realize what was really going on just like these kids on this vid. They will only know the horrid conditions they lived in when they get older.
Black America has been mentally broken, from the constant fight the dominant society, and US government.. This is the result of centuries and the constant battles black Americans continue to face..
@@noobyxd I may be missing something but what does that have to do with putting your rubbish in a bin. The fact that the area they live in is poverty striken and they may be fighting oppression has absolutely nothing to do with living in filth and bringing your own children up in that filth.
Areas like thia...they create their own poverty & filth. Multiple generations...and it doesn't chan ge. I lived in the Atlanta area for 30 years. Now I carry a 9mm when I drive through it.
I used to be a delivery driver for Domino's. And let me tell you all, I had to bring food orders to neighborhoods like this. I feared every night for my life of getting mugged or shot and killed!
So true. Back in elementary school a few of us top performers got picked out of these rough schools around Atlanta to be in KIPP's first charter school here. One of my friends named Jeremy got picked as well he was very smart but got sucked into this street life bcuz he was poor and didn't have a stable home. He was murdered a few years ago so horribly. My heart hurts for my friend bcuz even with so much potential some of these ppls issues run so deep especially mental health issues that it is so very hard for them to break from this lifestyle. Even myself I dropped out of college literally bcuz I couldn't focus the needed amount of attention on school I was too busy working and trying to figure out how to pay for groceries and where to lay my head during the breaks bcuz my own home wasn't stable. Its just sad all around. How do we fix this smh 🤦🏽♀️
This is the United States and not China . They choose to live like this , all they have to do is leave it behind and move elsewhere . At worse they could join the military and leave that dump behind if they cannot figure it out on their own .
The small children that was just roaming around by themselves was heartbreaking 💔 this is why I’m not looking to help other ppl or children in other countries I choose to help my own community in any way I can, so much work can be done here. Giving back can be simple mentorship to youth in these situations. We can all help in small and or large ways instead of judging so much.
man only if people knew i grew up literally up the street from 4 seasons you can help you can give your all but they still run you down we done help get people with kids that young out there and got ran down but like you said small or large every bit counts and can help but 4 seasons the city of Atlanta period has to do better like you push everybody out from each side & TO CORRECT OG THATS NOT CONSIDERED THE EAST SIDE THATS THE SOUTH SIDE NOT FAR FROM CARVER HIGH OR LAKEWOOD RD TO BE SPECIFIC
Born and raised in Atlanta hoods. I love my city. Definitely got into some trouble in my teen years, & have lost friends to the streets and the prison system. Just closed on a house this year and felt so incredibly proud of my family in how far we came throughout the years. My hearts go out to all of these people, especially the kids. I hope they overcome their obstacles and get out of there. This is not where you want to be
That is what's up! Congratulations, brother!! Anything is possible in America these days!! We need more people like you to share their story. To show our people that they too can make a good life for themselves! I grew up in the hoods of Washington DC during the crack epidemic and like you, I am now doing good in life. I made bad decisions too and ended up in prison. That opened my eyes and when I came home I didn't hang with my people. I got a job and started changing my life. I still visit family in the hood and when I go, it just makes me more grateful and makes me work harder to make sure my kids never have to go through the life I did
This Peanut, I lived in Leila Valley from 90 to 94 . Went to Clifton Elementary then Thurgood Marshall middle school. Glad I got a chance to move back to South Ga when I'm originally from. My 2 brothers and would probably be a product of that environment. I'm in my 40s now with 2 grown children. God blessed us to leave that kind of situation.
My buddy had a painting company. He got a contract in NYC to paint two large buildings in the ghetto. They were six stories each. He told me he loved the job because by the time the third and fourth floors were completed the first and second already were tagged up with graffiti. The job lasted 5 years until the owners gave up. What does that tell you about the residents?
@3:18 The fact that their neighborhood has so much poverty, trash everywhere, people sitting around doing nothing, murder is at a high and there are dilapidated houses falling apart/boarded up............ Yet they think one of their biggest issues is *snitching* ?!?! I could barely understand these young men and they don't even realize their biggest issue and hindrance in life is a lack of education.🤦🏾♀️ The mind REALLY is a terrible thing to waste.
These just fucking nasty .Do an environmental clean up campaign.Raise funds to fix anything or things that us possible.Also paint the places to looking outstanding.
Lack of education is not even an excuse cos might tell you there was no money for sponsorship but then are there no menial jobs or skills that uneducated ppl engage honorably in?
No way my child will be outside by herself in this hell hole. I'm from Jersey and it was horrible. I got tired of looking at this so I took a leap of faith 2 year's ago, took my taxes and left with just our clothes. I'm praying for them. They don't have to live like this. I am living proof. They just have to get past the fear or change
The fact that grown people choose to live this way instead of getting a damn job is beyond me. I grew up in the ghetto and never did I believe I'd stay in the ghetto. Got nice clothes on as a grown man with kids walking around with no shirt or shoes 😡 Making our people look bad!
@@chavezocohla3178 it is actually a bit of both in which those in charge of management of such "developments" have little oversight. All while the residents actively degrade their own living conditions via wanton destruction of property, graffitti, littering, and crime. At the end of the day the issue is no one truly cares or makes the necessary effort to change things. The residents wont stop those individuals destroying their neighborhood and management sees no sense in fixing things or cleaning up only to see it restored to its prior status days later.
It depends on where you're living and what the conditions are. It's hard to keep things clean when not everyone in the neighborhood is on the same page. Gangbangers who run the neighborhood can threaten you and even retaliate if you try to mess with what they don't want you messing with. I'd hate to go out there with my mop and pail only to wind up having my kid come home beaten to a pulp because I tried to overstep the neighborhood boundaries.
I agree. I hate seeing my people just treat mother earth this way. Throwing crap on the ground. Crapping in the middle of the street, etc. I didn't grow up in the hood but I'm a country boy that grew up on a family farmland in VA, and it saddens me to see black people living like this and not caring.
@@pistoffpussycat5778 We are all in this together, no matter how we look. I believe that is one of the biggest test that we facing in this world is Can we as humans/ spiritual beings live up to purpose i this realm which is right in front of our faces. Yes we can. Once you fully find Love, Peace, Happiness it can be done. And for that's evey living soul on this planet.
WOW! I remember living with my best friend in Forest Cove 17 years ago. It wasn't like this. I mean they were fights of course. But this right here, is just heartbreaking. It's just unbelievable to see that people are living this way. I appreciate you for sharing this.
Blame the city for not caring, not the people. They never took into consideration the amount of abandoned buildings and overgrown vegetation. You said clean up the trash, what's the point if no trash trucks show up? Where's the trash going? They can burn it, but that would pollute the environment and cause house fires.
Some of what aboxoftentacles1395 is saying is true. Part of their suffering is the government and/or city's fault. My boyfriend is a white color state employee and we live in Midtown of Atlanta. He's told me that the city is actively trying to push these people out. That means, the city is choosing not to help them so they can leave. The reasoning is to make way for more upper middle-class, middle-class and rich neighborhoods, primarily upper-middle and upper-class people. So yes even though they do contribute to their own plight, the city is also contributing. It's all about money and appearances. Atlanta want to be known as the city of wealthy southerners and grand opportunities for black people and other non-white people (Atlanta has a lot of rich black people). These ghetto neighborhoods are an obstacle. It is sad but that's the U.S for ya.
@@aboxoftentacles1395 Sad. Nobody can help you if you can't even maintain your own neighborhood and keep your house and yard clean. It would make me sick if I had neighbors like this. You could hit a Walmart and pick up gloves, dustpan, broom and trash bags for under 20 bucks, no need to call in the YTS to clean it up.
@@LisaJJohnson Originally the governments only function was to protect the rights of the the people. Now the government is so huge it's become tyrannical. What do you think that I'm dependent on regarding the government? I'm a small business owner and the only time I call on government for service is to get some license or an inspection that the government requires. It's nothing I actually need. For some the government is the worst thing in their lives and is what creates the most problems for them.
@@fjblgb8060 The government controls the entire system of this current world, if they shut down today and jobs closed then what? If people didn’t come into the office, closed groceries stores, If padlocks were put on schools and day care doors what’s the next move. Understand from the bigger picture, the Government controls more then section 8 housing and food stamps and a low quality 9 to 5 to keep one half way afloat.
I went to atl last yr and my friend took me to get some 💨 from this neighborhood I swear projects like this be having the best rides outside and ion understand 😩
People actually love living like this. It's always action, drama, and people roaming the neighborhood day and night. My students tell me all the time that the hood is fun. They love living in the hood..
Exactly! Poverty is a mindset. I’m from the projects up north. New Jersey to be exact and l fought my way out of there because l wanted better for my life!
I'm watching this video in England. I'm a working class guy of 46 and think it is beyond belief that you have the richest country in the world and yet some people have to live that way of life. What is most disturbing I think is that you have those young kids living not only in squalor but they are going to grow up not knowing if they or any of their family are going to be murdered that day. Totally heartbreaking. I hope nobody finds my post offensive . It's just an observation.
To be fair they don’t have to live that way. They’ve all collectively made it that sad ghetto area. It would just be poor and ghetto but not 3rd world if they cleaned up after themselves and didn’t break all the first floor windows
I’ve lived in Atlanta dang near all my life and I NEVER knew about this neighborhood. WOOOOW! This is heartbreaking because they don’t have to live like this. People are too comfortable in their poverty. There’s so many ways they can make a difference but choose to live this way. Accountability is mandatory. Gotta do better man.
I grew up in "Four Seasons". I was there from 76 to 82. I remember playing and running through abandoned apartments back then. This was during the time when it was "the missing and murdered children". It was not much better back then. I do think we had more fathers in the homes back then, so the children weren't as out-of-control as they are now.
what I can see it's the adults acting like children! Walking over trash and debris, and talking trash and not saying nothing! And old wise proverb says it takes a village to raise a child! It is clear that the village here is not qualified to even help themselves! They most definitely need prayer there's nothing too hard for God! Let's pray for the community and the children that God reaches the heart of the people and save his children! Give them a renewing of the mind! And that is in Jesus name we pray amen amen!
@@crow2swann5 so what do you think cause such deplorable living conditions? From my research I think the crack epidemic did this to a lot of neighborhoods.I’m from Chicago and believe it or not Cabrini Green projects was actually not that bad before crack came into the picture.
@@Kykylandfarming I think 2 main problems cause this situation. 1. Is the lack of fathers in the home. Fathers provide structure and boundaries. When fathers are absent children grow up without discipline. So they don't notice or care when things are out of order. 2. The property owners aren't that involved in the property. They either don't have the money or they don't care. Management can dictate the quality of their residents.
Ppl act like if you grew up in the hood and if you stay in that same hood that makes you REAL. Getting a legit job and taking care your family/responsibilities makes you real. I’ll stay in my nice suburban neighborhood where ppl care about our community 🤦🏽♂️💯🏁
I'd feel like a complete loser and a waste of oxygen if I was living like this and not setting goals and grinding to get the hell out. What are these people doing all day?
Whether it's bad parenting, friends, government or environment,still bores down to individuals telling themselves, they've had enough of that life.. As a Nigerian, grew up in crazy environments, no school, no job, didn't loose my head, applied for a job here in Kuwait and the rest is history.. These guys can still turn their lives around for good..
People leaving is part of the problem. Alot of places like this never get better because people leave as soon as they get some money instead of reinvesting it into the community.
My wife is from an African country, her parents never learned to read or write. But her father worked hard, her mother kept their home clean, and she can read and write in 4 languages. Her parents forced her to study but couldn't help her. But those streets are filthy where she is from. Kids eating out of the garbage, violence, ethnic tribal violence, etc... It's tough.
It's not the damn government. Government doesn't force you to be nasty and live with trash all around you. Government doesn't force you to listen to satanic murder music.
@@jonpilledsingledad oh okay now u should invest in this community or one near you! Make up for everyone else’s inhumanity and be the change u preach about
Believe it or not, I had some wonderful moments at this place Did Bible clubs here for 20 yrs. It deteriorated so much during the pandemic. Driving an old vehicle now delivering fruit to the children, taking a puppy over. The kids are so sweet.
that area is right down the street from where i used to live a couple of years ago. It's been like that forever. Pandemic didnt change shit. The west side is gentrifying at a rapid pace though. far east side is always going to be garbage
I grew up in a place like this. I got out ASAP & joined the army & retired from it. I visited the project and about 90% of the same people are still there. My mom & 2 brothers are still there too. 4 of us kids left at an early age & have done well for ourselves. Everyone else is still doing the same. I don’t understand why they wanna live like this. I’ve tried to help them by getting them out of there but they won’t budge. They ask me for money all the time and I used to give it to them but now I realize if I do then I’m just encouraging their behavior. Makes me sad they’ve always wanted nice things in life but never wanted to work hard for any of it. Mom even put me out of the house when I was 15 years old because I had a job and it was messing up her welfare & food stamps. We didn’t speak for years over that. It’s become a culture and it’s the only culture I know of that needs to be done away with. It’s sad af and something needs to be done.
Could start with eliminating the welfare cliffs that forced you out of the house. WTF even is that? People say these people don't wanna work, but the system forces them to that, because once you earn a cent more you lose thousands of dollars in benefits. Takes a big dreamer to overcome that rut.
That sound similar to how I grew grandma love the hell out of my cousins who didn’t work but ostracised my big cousin who had a Jo the mentality is messed up
I’m from “the hood” and other parts I’ve lived in it all but never anyplace equivalent to this my heart breaks for everyone living like this especially the babies either they’re going to be their environment or they’ll see that life can be better if that’s what you choose just because you were raised in it doesn’t mean you have to continue to stay on it 😢🙏🏽
Same. I was raised in Section 8 for almost 5 years. Although I spent most of my life living a decent lower middle class lifestyle, the projects I lived in were a walk in the park compared to this!
@@lovelyone1712 you mean the PARENTS IN THIS PLACE instead of government right because that excuse is old and been played out.

I say this all the time man and you’re absolutely right. They just be products of their environment. You can be around some broke shit but that don’t mean you have to think like a broke nigga. It’s all in your mind that mindset the mentality. With the right mentality you already made it out.
"Shake that boots bitch" probably isn't going to be the theme song to success for all these lil girls running around listening to that crap. This is shameful for these adults to raise their kids in this environment.
@@Dweeble233 Them ppl didn’t just do that all on their own, it’s city officials job to monitor the up keep of their sectors. Don’t none of them ppl own that land they stay on so what does that say about the ppl who own it?
@@usmokndopeordogfood7542 Story time. I grew up in an apartment complex. It was brand new when we moved in. The first families were good solid families. Many with fathers in the home. The building stayed clean and well maintained. Then fsmilies from the projects were moved into the building. Typically poor single mothers and there children. Soon enough you see holes in walls in hallways and smell urine from people pissing in the staircases. Graffitti began to appear on walls, etc. The more solid families moved out. More of the poorer project type families moved in. Soon what was once a nice building had been turned into a project complete with abandoned apartments inhabited by pigeons. Its about VALUES. The politicians didnt ruin the building. The low rent inhabitants with no values did.
The wealth disparity in Atlanta is horrifying. I used to live in Hapeville and the fact that you could drive 5 minutes and go from mansions to unlivable conditions was insane.
What is "wealth disparity"? I grew up in Hapeville, College Park, East Point, Bluff etc. I now am a homeowner with a career. My cousins are still doing this. No disparity, raised by the same family. You either choose to evolve, or don't. It's crazy to me to look back at how I used to live. It's still the norm for most of my family. 😢 Mind blowing.
@@trainwreckspod You are absolutely right. The left want's to blame "wealth disparity" when in fact it is people making their own choices. One is not destined to poverty. One chooses poverty.
@@trainwreckspod You sound foolish and solipstic as hell. You are not everyone. You are an individual, you ignoramus. We're talking about wealth disparity as a whole. The exception does not disprove the rule.
@@trainwreckspodyou made disparity about yourself and how you could get out Lmao. I’m sure he’s saying that the gap between the have and have nots is large.

There’s some parts of this country that look worse than third world countries. In California and NYC you have people sleeping on the street because they can not afford rent. This country isn’t all its cracked up to be.

I've been in the first set of projects as a handyman and most of what we were doing was replacing Freon to the ac units due to people stealing the Freon to get high off it. Was very heartbreaking seeing so many of the housing units themselves being in the condition they were. Especially the ones occupied that shouldn't be...
@@scottd7222 same hear, i wasnt even aware that you could get high from this, if anything you would just passout due to the oxygen displacement, i really dont understand how you can get a high from this. I think dude is confused lol, they weren’t getting high they were letting the freon out to later come back and get all that copper to cash in on, and he beat them to the punch sealing the leak and putting it back in and the process would just repeat i guess. Thats alot of psi to to be trying to inhale one way or another. I just cant wrap my head around it
That ain't nothing I was homeless living in A shelter in Atlanta I saw Jays smoking Rocks right in front of the Police precinct And they was breaking into cars Right in front of the station I got my car broken into 3 times right in front police
Can y'all be more specific when you say Atlanta? My mind goes to downtown, midtown, Mercedes stadium area, Auburn Ave, cascade, east point. What area is the worst? (I just want to know, so I can avoid them)
@@CH_HBCU-Xperience all those areas are horrible!! It’s kept a secret on tv.When I moved here in 2001 I had no idea it was like this here.At that time Bowen Homes was still around and I had no idea that was a project home.The bad areas are mixed in with the nice areas and it’s very confusing.It took me years to figure that out.Like how you see this hood in this video,just know 5 mins away is a very wealthy neighborhood.I have never seen anything like this in my life! Downtown in Buckhead is really nice but minutes away is MLK st which is terrible! I have no idea why Atlanta is made like this. When your driving you drive through a hood area and then all of a sudden you see a nice area.Basically what I realized is Atlanta is still segregated!
I used to live in the ghetto like this when I was a kid through my eyes as a kid I never really seen the problem but as an adult now looking back on videos like this it's really sad to see kids grow up like this
The residents can ONLY complain to the owners and local government. They could move, but where can they go for the same money? They're victims also, especially the children.
@@bosschic777 But why is it boarded up?? Why haven’t those units been remodeled? Painted? Something. Those ppl don’t own the building so whoever owns it should’ve been more on top of their job.

I always think of the same thing. If some of those walls could talk. I’m sure we would hear some good and bad things.
Yep, I like to see it when it was first built and the class of people that lived there and more importantly how it became so desolate.
Well, I lived in those first abandoned apartments. It was lively and festive back in the late 70s early 80s. Being so close to the federal penitentiary it wasn't a nice location to raise kids. But as a child I had good memories.

No doubt there's all kinds of demons all up in through that place.
I've said it before & I'll say it again. There is no excuse to live in Filth & Squallar. Poverty doesn't mean you have to live in your own mess.

It’s not just poverty. It’s a lack of hope.
“hope deferred makes the heart grow sick…”
So true. Back in elementary school a few of us top performers got picked out of these rough schools around Atlanta to be in KIPP's first charter school here. One of my friends named Jeremy got picked as well he was very smart but got sucked into this street life bcuz he was poor and didn't have a stable home. He was murdered a few years ago so horribly. My heart hurts for my friend bcuz even with so much potential some of these ppls issues run so deep especially mental health issues that it is so very hard for them to break from this lifestyle. Even myself I dropped out of college literally bcuz I couldn't focus the needed amount of attention on school I was too busy working and trying to figure out how to pay for groceries and where to lay my head during the breaks bcuz my own home wasn't stable. Its just sad all around. How do we fix this smh 🤦🏽♀️
This is the United States and not China . They choose to live like this , all they have to do is leave it behind and move elsewhere . At worse they could join the military and leave that dump behind if they cannot figure it out on their own .

That is what's up! Congratulations, brother!! Anything is possible in America these days!! We need more people like you to share their story. To show our people that they too can make a good life for themselves! I grew up in the hoods of Washington DC during the crack epidemic and like you, I am now doing good in life. I made bad decisions too and ended up in prison. That opened my eyes and when I came home I didn't hang with my people. I got a job and started changing my life. I still visit family in the hood and when I go, it just makes me more grateful and makes me work harder to make sure my kids never have to go through the life I did

My buddy had a painting company. He got a contract in NYC to paint two large buildings in the ghetto. They were six stories each. He told me he loved the job because by the time the third and fourth floors were completed the first and second already were tagged up with graffiti. The job lasted 5 years until the owners gave up.

That they’re probably holding calls on paint companies?

It depends on where you're living and what the conditions are. It's hard to keep things clean when not everyone in the neighborhood is on the same page. Gangbangers who run the neighborhood can threaten you and even retaliate if you try to mess with what they don't want you messing with.

It costs nothing to clean up your trash. I can't believe these people choose to live like this.
Blame the city for not caring, not the people. They never took into consideration the amount of abandoned buildings and overgrown vegetation. You said clean up the trash, what's the point if no trash trucks show up? Where's the trash going? They can burn it, but that would pollute the environment and cause house fires.
@@aboxoftentacles1395 You're joking right?
@@RickBobby Nope. The city needs to participate.
Some of what aboxoftentacles1395 is saying is true. Part of their suffering is the government and/or city's fault. My boyfriend is a white color state employee and we live in Midtown of Atlanta. He's told me that the city is actively trying to push these people out. That means, the city is choosing not to help them so they can leave. The reasoning is to make way for more upper middle-class, middle-class and rich neighborhoods, primarily upper-middle and upper-class people. So yes even though they do contribute to their own plight, the city is also contributing. It's all about money and appearances. Atlanta want to be known as the city of wealthy southerners and grand opportunities for black people and other non-white people (Atlanta has a lot of rich black people). These ghetto neighborhoods are an obstacle. It is sad but that's the U.S for ya.
@@aboxoftentacles1395 Sad. Nobody can help you if you can't even maintain your own neighborhood and keep your house and yard clean. It would make me sick if I had neighbors like this. You could hit a Walmart and pick up gloves, dustpan, broom and trash bags for under 20 bucks, no need to call in the YTS to clean it up.

I'm watching this video in England. I'm a working class guy of 46 and think it is beyond belief that you have the richest country in the world and yet some people have to live that way of life.

Totally heartbreaking. I hope nobody finds my post offensive . It's just an observation.
It's not offensive at all. Just sad.
It might be the richest country but that is because the top 1% have most of the wealth
To be fair they don’t have to live that way. They’ve all collectively made it that sad ghetto area. It would just be poor and ghetto but not 3rd world if they cleaned up after themselves and didn’t break all the first floor windows

I grew up in "Four Seasons". I was there from 76 to 82. I remember playing and running through abandoned apartments back then. This was during the time when it was "the missing and murdered children". It was not much better back then. I do think we had more fathers in the homes back then, so the children weren't as out-of-control as they are now.
what I can see it's the adults acting like children! Walking over trash and debris, and talking trash and not saying nothing!

They either don't have the money or they don't care. Management can dictate the quality of their residents.

Whether it's bad parenting, friends, government or environment,still bores down to individuals telling themselves, they've had enough of that life.. As a Nigerian, grew up in crazy environments, no school, no job, didn't loose my head, applied for a job here in Kuwait and the rest is history.. These guys can still turn their lives around for good..
People leaving is part of the problem. Alot of places like this never get better because people leave as soon as they get some money instead of reinvesting it into the community.
My wife is from an African country, her parents never learned to read or write. But her father worked hard, her mother kept their home clean, and she can read and write in 4 languages. Her parents forced her to study but couldn't help her. But those streets are filthy where she is from. Kids eating out of the garbage, violence, ethnic tribal violence, etc... It's tough.
They prefer to blame the "white man" for their problems while sitting on their asses waiting for a government check.

I grew up in a place like this. I got out ASAP & joined the army & retired from it. I visited the project and about 90% of the same people are still there. My mom & 2 brothers are still there too. 4 of us kids left at an early age & have done well for ourselves. Everyone else is still doing the same. I don’t understand why they wanna live like this. I’ve tried to help them by getting them out of there but they won’t budge. They ask me for money all the time and I used to give it to them but now I realize if I do then I’m just encouraging their behavior. Makes me sad they’ve always wanted nice things in life but never wanted to work hard for any of it. Mom even put me out of the house when I was 15 years old because I had a job and it was messing up her welfare & food stamps. We didn’t speak for years over that. It’s become a culture and it’s the only culture I know of that needs to be done away with. It’s sad af and something needs to be done.
That is sad. It's survival mode though. Doesn't make you think straight. It's hard to get out of that.
Could start with eliminating the welfare cliffs that forced you out of the house. WTF even is that? People say these people don't wanna work, but the system forces them to that, because once you earn a cent more you lose thousands of dollars in benefits. Takes a big dreamer to overcome that rut.

That sound similar to how I grew grandma love the hell out of my cousins who didn’t work but ostracised my big cousin who had a Jo the mentality is messed up
I’m from “the hood” and other parts I’ve lived in it all but never anyplace equivalent to this my heart breaks for everyone living like this especially the babies either they’re going to be their environment or they’ll see that life can be better if that’s what you choose just because you were raised in it doesn’t mean you have to continue to stay on it 😢🙏🏽
I met a family that likes living there
Same. I was raised in Section 8 for almost 5 years. Although I spent most of my life living a decent lower middle class lifestyle, the projects I lived in were a walk in the park compared to this!
@@lovelyone1712 you mean the PARENTS IN THIS PLACE instead of government right because that excuse is old and been played out. Why are you having sex if you live like this knowing where you are..personal choice. Why are you buying new cars staying in a place like this...personal choice. Why are you wearing designer bags and shoes if you live like this...personal choice. Stop blaming others for personal choices.
@@joechampion5350 you do realize down here they sell fake designers or there stuff they get you are quite cheap. So keep talking without the facts
@@lilz1338
Oh like you just did? Good by DA
This is where I wanna live
Lot if nice cars and cool clothes , sounded like a party.
I thank God every day for my blessings and not having to live like that.
That's wonderful and Glory to God Yahweh 🙏. Yet He commands Us to Go and Bless those in such conditions in order to be Eternally Saved, Matthew 25:31-41. Dennis church of Christ minister 🙏
What God?
@@rocksofoffence.righteousam2422 you should know claiming to be ambassador for Righteous, no one would know what Righteous is without God, let Alone be here in existence for no one created themselves. Dennis church of Christ minister 🙏
@@dennismelton2261 I can agree.
Having low income dont mean you got to be dirty. All this grown up pleople need to pick up there trash and stop been lazy keep the neighborhood clean. And be a good example for the kids and leave that gangster mentality. If you leave that mentality. Youll succeed
I say this all the time man and you’re absolutely right. They just be products of their environment. You can be around some broke shit but that don’t mean you have to think like a broke nigga. It’s all in your mind that mindset the mentality. With the right mentality you already made it out.
They'll just call u racist if u say this outloud
"Shake that boots bitch" probably isn't going to be the theme song to success for all these lil girls running around listening to that crap. This is shameful for these adults to raise their kids in this environment.
True
PERIOD
I'm ready to move in there, where can I apply?
I hustle and walk in each one of these hoods 15yrs ago .

Just think of all the flying and crawling bugs as well as the rodents inside the buildings biting and spreading all kinds of bad stuff.
...and I bet the politician responsible for that district wants to be re elected.
@@williamwaller2485 I bet other politicians regardless of party will make promises to clean the area up, but won't keep their promise.
Shouls someone else HAVE to clean up behind able bodied adults? I hope no one like this ever makes it to my neighborhood.
@@Dweeble233 Them ppl didn’t just do that all on their own, it’s city officials job to monitor the up keep of their sectors. Don’t none of them ppl own that land they stay on so what does that say about the ppl who own it?
@@usmokndopeordogfood7542 Story time. I grew up in an apartment complex. It was brand new when we moved in. The first families were good solid families. Many with fathers in the home. The building stayed clean and well maintained. Then fsmilies from the projects were moved into the building. Typically poor single mothers and there children. Soon enough you see holes in walls in hallways and smell urine from people pissing in the staircases. Graffitti began to appear on walls, etc. The more solid families moved out. More of the poorer project type families moved in. Soon what was once a nice building had been turned into a project complete with abandoned apartments inhabited by pigeons. Its about VALUES. The politicians didnt ruin the building. The low rent inhabitants with no values did.
🗣️ Where is this Located?
East atl
What part of Atlanta is this at?
No child should ever have to live like this. Bless their souls. Hopefully someday, no one will have to live in these conditions.
The wealth disparity in Atlanta is horrifying. I used to live in Hapeville and the fact that you could drive 5 minutes and go from mansions to unlivable conditions was insane.
What is "wealth disparity"? I grew up in Hapeville, College Park, East Point, Bluff etc. I now am a homeowner with a career. My cousins are still doing this. No disparity, raised by the same family. You either choose to evolve, or don't. It's crazy to me to look back at how I used to live. It's still the norm for most of my family. 😢 Mind blowing.
@@trainwreckspod You are absolutely right. The left want's to blame "wealth disparity" when in fact it is people making their own choices. One is not destined to poverty. One chooses poverty.
@@trainwreckspod You sound foolish and solipstic as hell. You are not everyone. You are an individual, you ignoramus. We're talking about wealth disparity as a whole. The exception does not disprove the rule.
This wasn't even poverty. It was degeneracy. I grew up dirt poor, but we didn't live like that.
@@trainwreckspodyou made disparity about yourself and how you could get out Lmao. I’m sure he’s saying that the gap between the have and have nots is large. Not whether you can make it out or not, which should’ve been evident by him saying “you could drive 5 minutes and go from mansions to unlivable conditions.” But thanks for telling your story? Idk.
Im here!
Notice the content of their character.
This might be the worse hood I’ve seen so far
You should see the whole video of this area. This was just a part of it. Back in the day I used to buy some good weed over there.
Definitely worst hood I've seen from Charlie thus far this is crazy.
It's the worst I've seen too. I was just over there about a month ago and could not believe what I was seeing!! Damn shame.
@BYRRD yea a lot look like that in the Midwest and the south
@BYRRD exactly I'm from Ohio this is nothing
in the image that is shown outside, it's from a USA, without poverties, but this video shows the reality, greetings from Brazil
There’s some parts of this country that look worse than third world countries. In California and NYC you have people sleeping on the street because they can not afford rent. This country isn’t all its cracked up to be.
@@elliesmom0992 its not. That's why I left long ago to go abroad. Once people from overseas move to the usa they go right back home lmao
@@alaskanwhiskey just about all of them stay because they like it so much
@@aa-jp7ck lmao stop lying fool 🤣 live in a trash heep like that, big CAP
Sometimes things are hard but you have to make the best of what you have for now, at least y'all can get together and clean up the place, and try harder to do better 😢
I didn't picture Atlanta like this. Wow
I've been in the first set of projects as a handyman and most of what we were doing was replacing Freon to the ac units due to people stealing the Freon to get high off it. Was very heartbreaking seeing so many of the housing units themselves being in the condition they were. Especially the ones occupied that shouldn't be...
High off freon da fuq you talking about lol
@@scottd7222 yes! That's old. That's how the lead singer off Hi 5 died. My uncle use to do this to get high as well.
@@tawandamckinney3035 as an HVAC tech this concerns me anyone would attempt that
@@scottd7222 same hear, i wasnt even aware that you could get high from this, if anything you would just passout due to the oxygen displacement, i really dont understand how you can get a high from this. I think dude is confused lol, they weren’t getting high they were letting the freon out to later come back and get all that copper to cash in on, and he beat them to the punch sealing the leak and putting it back in and the process would just repeat i guess. Thats alot of psi to to be trying to inhale one way or another. I just cant wrap my head around it
Wow!
Two weeks ago I was in ATL and they was pulling car doors the whole night at the hotel even tho the cops were right there 😬
That ain't nothing
I was homeless living in A shelter in Atlanta
I saw Jays smoking Rocks right in front of the Police precinct
And they was breaking into cars
Right in front of the station
I got my car broken into 3 times right in front police
Can y'all be more specific when you say Atlanta? My mind goes to downtown, midtown, Mercedes stadium area, Auburn Ave, cascade, east point. What area is the worst? (I just want to know, so I can avoid them)
@@CH_HBCU-Xperience all those areas are horrible!! It’s kept a secret on tv.When I moved here in 2001 I had no idea it was like this here.At that time Bowen Homes was still around and I had no idea that was a project home.The bad areas are mixed in with the nice areas and it’s very confusing.It took me years to figure that out.Like how you see this hood in this video,just know 5 mins away is a very wealthy neighborhood.I have never seen anything like this in my life! Downtown in Buckhead is really nice but minutes away is MLK st which is terrible! I have no idea why Atlanta is made like this. When your driving you drive through a hood area and then all of a sudden you see a nice area.Basically what I realized is Atlanta is still segregated!
@@CH_HBCU-Xperience Bankhead/Vine City .... The Bluff
CRAZY HOW THEY GOT PEOPLE LIVING NO HOPE,NO HELP,NO LOVE FOR OUR PEOPLE,
I used to live in the ghetto like this when I was a kid through my eyes as a kid I never really seen the problem but as an adult now looking back on videos like this it's really sad to see kids grow up like this
Charlie brought Detroit with him 😂😂😂
Wild, you know Charlie....he was raised in a hood.
Da devil is a lie 🤣
They spruced it up pretty good
I like that shark backpack
Heart breaking to see people living like that 🙏🏼
But they actually like living like that
It’s hard to care when don’t they even care themselves. Look at that damn place. They not even trying
You should go there and help them LMFAO
Why?
What apartments are these, in the A?
Thats a damn shame for a city like Atlanta,but still part of the responsibility belongs to the residents.
The residents can ONLY complain to the owners and local government. They could move, but where can they go for the same money? They're victims also, especially the children.
@@giveme10feet why keep helping when all they gonna do is trash it and tear it down, let’s not forget the constant killings. It starts with them
@@KK-ur7zz yes some of them are like that, but not all, how do we help the productive ones to get out of the "trap"?
What residents it grimmy and half of the complexes is boarded up
@@bosschic777 But why is it boarded up?? Why haven’t those units been remodeled? Painted? Something. Those ppl don’t own the building so whoever owns it should’ve been more on top of their job.
