At least there are not any abandoned houses falling apart like in some cities. This is way better than some of the small cities around Pittsburgh, like McKeesport.
Hate to break this to you but THERE ARE! Hoods 'n' Hollers did a road trip on other parts of Charleston- almost as bad as some of the Detroit suburbs we've seen...!

Thanks for showing, I grew up in that neighborhood 40 yrs ago. I have such good memories of the lower westside. Sad to see it in such disrepair:( Good people, destroyed by big coal and chemical plants.
My ex gf was doing her medical residency at Marshall School of Medicine in Huntington, WV. When I went to visit her, we'd go to Charleston for dinner or a night out. It was bad then, it's gotten so much worse now. She finally gave up on WV and did finished her residency in CA...
Awe. I wanted to see all of Charleston, including East End & Kanawha City. The nice neighborhoods with large and lavish homes, or The Hills themselves with mansions. This side is so sad.

Charlie, Good to see you in my old stomping grounds. Charleston truly is a dying city. Just recently the city's mall is all but closed, the Chop House, Tidewater and Bridge Road Bistro along with restaurants in Kanawha City have closed. The Municipal Auditorium is closed, the Park Plaza Cinema movies closed, longtime stores Pugh Furniture and Charleston Department Store are closed. The US Postal Service WV Mail processing center is closing soon. But at least the Capitol will remain open. As bad as all that is, for a rural version of Detroit/Gary IN. Head down to McDowell County or perhaps Mingo or Logan the county where I grew up.
It looks like a quiet small town people are working and trying to make it that’s all.. they are government to try to create a job opportunities for people who try to survive..always a place where is poverty.. I hope the city officials try to build this small town in the south up a little bit more… for better opportunities.. thank you for this video.
I was born in Charleston, West Virginia but raised in Magnolia, Mississippi(Back and forth between Magnolia & McComb) lived in Tylertown, Mississippi for a few years
@@JonathanButler-zd8qt if it’s south Charleston then it ain’t the hood. Crime stats similar to the suburb im in, in MD. Just 7,000 less people in SC. Prolly hella drugs there tho. This town I’m in they clean the streets but there’s still homeless and addicts. Fent and coke(sometimes meth) now but used to be heroin and shit. Mostly drugs and property crime so it ain’t dangerous at all fr
@@DreadMaximus Not really that bad, my mom and dad used to sell meth, coke and the sort. All around nice customers, and generally nice people. My PawPaw Steve was a pervert though and he took everything. Of course there were the constant fights and madness, however that's cuz the meth. Other than that it was nice.
@@ProFireHazards south Charleston 2023 has a crime rate of 5,267.2, or 126% higher than the National rate. (Btw I believe crime rates are bogus to make places look more “dangerous”). If you look at the individual stats it’s not bad. 90-95% property crime. But it’s only 13k population so can’t compare it to a big city fr. Some small towns be dangerous tho. Still 20% of the population is in poverty in Charleston but that’s normal in WV.
Have friends in both Charleston and Huntington. Charleston being a capital city feels a bit grittier and Huntington seems to have a bit more energy maybe because it's a college town(Marshall) Tons of new construction going on around Huntington/Barboursville etc. Both have their share of crime but between the 2 cities I much prefer Huntington.
Huntington is way worse poverty is almost double that of Charlestons,it is the overdose capital of America, and the crime capital of West Virginia .It’s definitely one of the worst cites in America horrible place even with Marshall.
@@josephhoover4542 Hear that all the time but definitely not my experience, though certainly there is an opioid problem. Huntington has a much more energetic feel to it than Charleston that's for sure, and they are building a lot there. Companies aren't going to build without doing their homework first.

I used to live near the WV border. Charleston is the best looking city in the state- the rest of it is really, really bad, especially when you get deep into Appalachia. The poverty is bad, the drugs are bad, the healthcare is bad, education is bad... and they're quick to run you out of town with rifles because they aren't friendly, either.
Video doesn't serve title any justice. This is the West Side and I promise you the majority of these folks are poor. Homes are cheap to buy and always for rent.
@@062082shane Yes I've noticed in the states, a lot of the homes in supposed run down areas are beautiful.That's happened in Toronto where upper class neighbourhoods have gone down hill. I'm from somewhere else in Canada, nice homes like in this vid, are in wealthy areas. Nice of you to respond, tc
Because opioids were overprescribed to injured blue collar workers in rural parts of the state back in the early 2000s. Pill mills popped up and got lots of people hooked. Nowadays if you become homeless from addiction you are likely to come to Charleston for resources. Shelters, food and recovery homes. Many wash out of these places and are back I. The streets and on drugs.
It does have an ac vibe with the houses but only towards the shore. The middle of AC looks like Philly/camden rowhomes and then New Jersey brick projects. I see what your saying though
I live in Sacramento now. And I'd like to buy a house in Charleston. It's the cheapest deal in America. What do you say? I just want my own corner. I'm tired of being homeless.
HOODS? HAHAHAHAHA! We ain't got no hoods! We don't have enough people left!!!!! That yOur driving thru is ANYTOWN WV! Looks like that everywhere you go, no matter what town or city, some re a bit better, some way worse, but with 1 million in whole state, it tough even to have a hood!!!

Looks like an average working class neighborhood.
Looks can be deceiving. This part of town is beyond working class. Half of Kanawha County is probably on govt assistance.

To be honest I think the chain fences seriously ruin the aesthetic of the neighborhood, if it weren't for them I'd be inclined to agree.

Did you stop at the Piggly Wiggly?!
I saw on TV that the opiod crisis is especially severe in Charleston ... Why Charleston of all places?
That problem is everywhere sir. America has an opioid epidemic that just don’t mean this town mine or the next. It’s all the way widespread.
Because opioids were overprescribed to injured blue collar workers in rural parts of the state back in the early 2000s. Pill mills popped up and got lots of people hooked. Nowadays if you become homeless from addiction you are likely to come to Charleston for resources. Shelters, food and recovery homes. Many wash out of these places and are back I.

Lack of employment over a long time has created a generation that never worked because they could not find work.
Because out of town people flood West Virginia with drugs especially Detroit mfs
