My grandma taught at El Dorado Elementary she taught students from the Towers, Vis Valley and Sunnydale. She loved all of those kids and spent her entire career there.
I like the straight up, raw approach to interviewing SF citizens on the spot and having an insightful and intelligent conversation, giving these guys a voice and chance to respond about their and various other SF environments through their perspectives while being asked questions from an outsider’s. This is how one gets real data, not by any of the refined and tailored stuff we usually see. Thank you for your work.
I like how the one dude didn't just answer the questions right away he was trying to fully understand the questions before he just started talking nonsense like most people do trying to shout out their hood
I grew up in Double Rock, born in Portreo Hill. Im always having to explain to people that SF is not only rainbows and hipster cafes. Thanks for your videos
FyeHunnit tourists used to get robbed a lot near touristy spots too. Often near North Beach projects. For some reason, they thought it would be a good idea to put one of the cable car stops right in the middle of the projects. Then you would hear about it in the news. One time guys from those projects robbed some guy who happened to be an off duty police chief. He had damn near the whole precinct there after that. Another bad spot was in old Pink Palace projects in Fillmore, NY Times had an article about that in the early 80s. Tourists would walk around City Hall (that area now is a dump by the way) and then walk a few blocks and then end up there.
Born and raised in SF, and then Daly City. So many areas there are economically depressed: 3rd Street, Army Street, Sunnydale, Hunter's Point, Potrero Hill, Tenderloin, etc. Geneva Towers was brutal until it was torn down in the late 1990s. Sunnydale and the Towers were within blocks from each other so things would almost always jump off. A few blocks away from that, on the other side of Bayshore Boulevard, is Midway Village which was built on a toxic waste site. Midway is technically in Daly City, with Bayshore Boulevard being the dividing line between SF and Daly City. Midway was a little more mellow in some ways, yet I remember my sisters and one of my brothers seeing a dead body (murdered) in the bushes on the way to school a block from our unit. I recall my next door neighbor being murdered down the street at the gas station by a rival drug dealer. We saw a lot of other neighbors get very sick from the toxins in the soil and air, and a high percentage of cancer. When we lived in housing shelters in the Tenderloin it was crazy; drugs were basically everywhere there. Taught me that when a person is poor, no one comes to your school to offer counseling services or anything like that. When a person is poor, I think we are just seen as being expendable nuisances.... My family then moved to Stockton. Bunch of problems there too.
Just remember this city is run by democrats. They want you to be poor and want you to vote for or them again. And you guys will vote them back in November. Unbelievable.
@@jan22150 It's not a Republican and Democratic problem. It's elitist and a lot of the policy pushes the people out into other Bay Area cities and condenses them in these communities or out into other Bay Area cities with no resources. It's hella policed and they are currently trying to make luxury apartments in this area and "change the perception" of the neighborhood.
JP’s right. I grew up living 2 blocks from the Sunnydale projects. It was scary. We couldn’t play outside for fear of being in the line of gunfire. We had bars on all the windows and doors. Someone attacked my mom and tried to rob her right in front of our house after she got off the bus from work. I don’t miss those days. It’s been a decade. Very sad to see that things haven’t improved all that much.
I work in Sunnydale and definitely feel like people in that community are always forgotten about, thanks for giving the opportunity to let them speak about how it really is living in SF and not the techie bs we always see or hear about
When I was driving for lyft 2 years ago , it broke my heart seeing the wage gap of the rich and techies in soma/pac heights and an hour later to the children of the hood playing in Sunnydale’ playground with broken swings.
i picked up people in that area doing lyft its definitely one of the worst areas in the city one time i even heard gun shots and a funny thing is its every race living in the area

Well you could say that for sure. But in SF its all about the cash. Yes there is a long history of racism in the city. Check out what they did to the Fillmore with the Geary expansion. Now if you're born in poverty and any skin color its tough to get out. The police... as he said they don't mess with people in the rich area... The aves, let alone the Presidio and all that. I lived in the Mission and the police mess with the Latino population also. SF was sold out a long time ago to be the housing for silicon valley.
@@gillroygarlic3616 i can't attest to every person's individual upbringing. private schools aren't what i would call part of the system, the ones we have around here are *usually* affordable and don't discriminate. i'm a school bus driver, you'll just have to take my word on that. one example i'll just toss out there is if you're a minority, you'll get extra points on whatever they're calling a civil service test these days. unless they've changed that in the last 7 years that's been the case for decades, and i can tell you from personal experience it's true. ask some of those GM old-timers about affirmative action. you know i could probably provide examples all night, but the point is there are actual systems in place *against* white guys, but i can't tell you a single authorized system against minorities. you could argue the criminal justice system, and while i'm the first to admit our system is fucked up, that's still a debate someone is going to find difficult to win with me and not because i'm seeing what i want to see.

@@leonhenry4861 it's nothing like Oakland or sf we dont got big ass building it's a small town but we call it rich city ya hurrrd ain't shit in Richmond we dont have clubs or shit you can hang out at unless you got relative to pop out here
@@bharatAV That's where I grew up, my parents still live there. It was actually a nice Working Class lower middle class area until Reagan took over CA. Prior to that CA schools were #1 in the country and all CA public and state universities were FREE! Reaganomics destroyed the state.
I grew up in Richmond CA , Richmond until 1983 was good. When Reagan and crack took over it went downhill. Richmond was thriving, even in the flats, with many successful African American families, when the Santa Fe Railroad ,Shipyards and Chevron still employed everyone with great jobs. Point Richmond is still million dollar homes and a beautiful neighborhood. It's like there is imaginary wall between the flats and the point. Things are changing though, especially now that upper middle class people can no longer afford Berkeley and Albany, Richmond doesn't seem so bad to those people now. My parent's home which they bought for 118,000 is an absurd price now.
I have been in the city all my life I have lived everywhere the Fillmore Sunnyvale potrero Hill hunters point Lakeview I've been all over and I've enjoyed it I love the city it's just not for everybody you have to know how to accept it here and everything will be fine everyone please stay safe
born and raised in SF (sunset district). Thank you for showing these parts to the public, they are just as much a part of the city's culture as other neighborhoods but they are never shown in the media
The city needs to pay all those families for living in those mold integrated structure aka military housing once upon a time. The city turns its cheek on a lot of health violation throughout those projects!! A lot of those folks have a case of cancer from radiation from those old army bunkers and bases.
It's completely inexcusable that London Breed will not roll back tax breaks on Big Tech to build quality housing. It's not like we are a poor area or state. It's so upsetting to me because she, herself grew up in SF Projects and is now letting other people suffer they way she did. The day after she gave her talk to the protestors about BLM she cut funding for affordable housing, public childcare, public healthcare, fire department. So frustrated but also not down for Antifa Either. lol
Living there is a choice...i work 2 jobs too live and raise my kids in a nice subdivision ....living there is a choice sad parents would raise kids there
This was a pretty dope interview. I lived in front of this hood and would had to take the bus that passed thru this hood, worst thing Ive ever seen was police pulling out ARs🤷🏽♀️
Dr. Freeze exactly softest free housing they complaining lol go to watts or better yet come over to Brooklyn and Harlem by me and they will see what real hoods are
Great video (seriously). CharlieBo313......We want to see your face on the videos sometimes (the mystery man behind the wheel). God bless and stay safe.
Thank youu! I'm surprised myself that people don't know about these neighborhoods including ppl from SF until I bring it up. It's like these parts of my neighborhood are always looked over😭
The City was crazy in the 90's and early 2000. It started to get gentrified around 2010.
4 роки тому+1
No, wrong. The city started getting gentrified--and I'm gonna be specific here because I know--in 1994. The only poor people--not just broke but poor--in SF live in housing projects, SRO's, rent-controlled flats, or on the streets.
Hey first off I have to say thanks for doing this. These are voices that aren't really heard. I'm from DC suburbs and lived in the hood as a bike messenger in early 90's and worked with and became friends with lots of guys from the hood. Later in Seattle Central District and then different parts of SF as a messenger. Truthfully I didn't really know much about these projects besides Hunters Point as I never had any reason to go there. So respect to you for going, talking with these guys in different hoods and showing them the proper respect many of them deserve. I live in Thailand these days where people think Americans are all white and rich. I try to tell them that's far from reality. Keep up the good work.
@@415avenues Ppl see the Richmond district and Sunset district as the suburbs of SF cuz they safer and by the beach but they defo not the richest area in SF lol. Tbh sunset is mostly middle class Chinese ppl and some hipster/surfer ppl who live near ocean beach. Richmond district is very affluent towards the beach but geary is mostly Eastern European middle class ppl and Chinese. The rich neighborhoods in SF are near Presidio,Marina, robin williams neighborhood, ST Francis woods. Tbh the avenues get kinda grimey at night since a lot of homeless ppl go to the beach at night and during Covid hella ppl from Oakland and bayview started targeting the avenues and older Chinese ppl for east robberies since many ppl don’t speak English and won’t call police.
I rather be in Frisco than Oakland Oakland is Crazy AF its Lawless over there, People be running Red Lights like its Nothing regardless if there's some People Crossing
Finally hitting the West coast! Sunny California doesn't seem so sunny. Thank You for sharing the other side of our Nation that is often hidden or forgotten.

@CharlieBo313 I've watched a number of your "Hood Tours" through various US cities, and sadly the common theme that most of the interviewees wanted to project is how crazy and dangerous their hood was, as though they were/are aspiring to be from a tougher, more ghetto lifestyle vs. trying to project more POSITIVE vibes and denouncing the ghetto attitude. DEFINITELY NOT a good omen having that collective attitude.
Mike S don’t you think that if we were in a good environment we would talk about the good things obviously we don’t live in the suburbs you don’t seem to have common sense bro
Born in SF grew up in Sunnydale l remember it was rough but l have a lot of good memories in them projects where it was never boring l remember that open fence where we went down the hill towards DC to take a short cut l live in Texas now and even tho we moved to a better situation damn l miss my city l remember the cool cups for a quarter 😆 went to visit my gma recently in the Excelsior neighborhood and rode through Sunnydale and shit ain't changed since the 70s l sent pics to my brothers and sisters who live in Texas too and they were like " ls that Sunnydale projects?" I said yup and they said you better get the hell up outta there! 😆 Good times
My mom and grandma were raised in Sunnydale. My dad grew up in Hunters Point then moved to Sunnydale. Both of em have fond memories of the neighborhood and families that lived there. It got worse following the 80's. Now the city is starting to redevelop both Sunnydale and the Bayview. Sunnydale projects are some of the worst buildings in the city and it's past due. I just hope the residents there don't get pushed out during the redevelopment and will have a home to return too.
Im planning on moving to SF soon. I want to make it a goal of mine to help people improve their communities and fix this. I see no fairness and I feel a strong sense of abandonment here. That guy is right there is probably so much talent in that area and I want to see it come to light.
The gangs in this area, Sunnydale, are DBG or down below gangsters. They fight with the Towerside gang up the street at the brick homes. These two dudes seem cool and intelligent. Respect.
If you have to live in the projects, that's about the best location I can think of. McLaren Park to the north, San Bruno Mountain and the Cow Palace to the south, and the SF Bay to the east. A very scenic area with acres and acres of parkland nearby, great weather and pretty sunsets. I'm amazed the city hasn't relocated everyone and built $2 million condos there.
I love your work and footage and especially your interviews! A distinctive aspect re SF is that the projects are interspersed through the city instead of creating a single neighborhood that concentrates public housing. There are some exceptions of course like bayview, hunters point which is generally considered an economically depressed area. The one thing about police in this neighborhood is that Potrero hill has affluent residences and the police all like to go to their coffee shops. That may contribute to increased police presence. They also frequent noe valley which is also quite affluent with no public housing nearby, but there are coffee and food establishments. There’s not much of that kind of stuff in the “avenues”. Bravo Charlie for exposing these parts of urban life!!
I think a majority of the reason why people don’t know about these areas is because they didn’t grow up in SF like myself but it’s good to know all the parts of the city you live in. I also liked how the one guy commented on Oakland! Haha.. I’m living there now again and I call it the Wild Wild West. 😁Thanks for posting.
This part of San Fran is never displayed to the world, I never ever would have known these hoods existed, it doesn't even look like they belong

Now if you're born in poverty and any skin color its tough to get out. The police... as he said they don't mess with people in the rich area... The aves, let alone the Presidio and all that. I lived in the Mission and the police mess with the Latino population also. SF was sold out a long time ago to be the housing for silicon valley.
If you haven't grown up poor, which I didn't then there's no way to know how it really is...
@@gillroygarlic3616 i can't attest to every person's individual upbringing. private schools aren't what i would call part of the system, the ones we have around here are *usually* affordable and don't discriminate. i'm a school bus driver, you'll just have to take my word on that.
one example i'll just toss out there is if you're a minority, you'll get extra points on whatever they're calling a civil service test these days. unless they've changed that in the last 7 years that's been the case for decades, and i can tell you from personal experience it's true.
ask some of those GM old-timers about affirmative action.
you know i could probably provide examples all night, but the point is there are actual systems in place *against* white guys, but i can't tell you a single authorized system against minorities. you could argue the criminal justice system, and while i'm the first to admit our system is fucked up, that's still a debate someone is going to find difficult to win with me and not because i'm seeing what i want to see.
I've been to San Fran but never knew they had hoods with how damn expensive it is there. I guess everywhere you go has a hood or two.
Yea it’s a few out here the news just don’t tell you that
I live in Palo Alto in the south bay and it is 2 times more expensive than SF but right beside in East Palo Alto, you have some dangerous hoods.
Charly Austin EPA is good now. No crime at all.
Charly Austin How much for an apartment in the hood over there?
San Francisco I didn't know
For those of y'all that don't follow YT he is laying in the hospital rn recovering from a gunshot. Go run up his UA-cam channel and show him some support if you see this.
You need to go to Richmond ca
What's it like
It’s ghetto af
@@leonhenry4861 it's nothing like Oakland or sf we dont got big ass building it's a small town but we call it rich city ya hurrrd ain't shit in Richmond we dont have clubs or shit you can hang out at unless you got relative to pop out here
@@bharatAV That's where I grew up, my parents still live there. It was actually a nice Working Class lower middle class area until Reagan took over CA. Prior to that CA schools were #1 in the country and all CA public and state universities were FREE! Reaganomics destroyed the state.
I grew up in Richmond CA , Richmond until 1983 was good. When Reagan and crack took over it went downhill. Richmond was thriving, even in the flats, with many successful African American families, when the Santa Fe Railroad ,Shipyards and Chevron still employed everyone with great jobs. Point Richmond is still million dollar homes and a beautiful neighborhood. It's like there is imaginary wall between the flats and the point. Things are changing though, especially now that upper middle class people can no longer afford Berkeley and Albany, Richmond doesn't seem so bad to those people now. My parent's home which they bought for 118,000 is an absurd price now.
Hella Samoans in every sf projects 💯💯
Swampy
I'm samoan & tongan and I'm from Lakeview
A few. Not hella though. SF housing projects are majority black
Joel Tiliti ay I’m from lake view you to that’s what’s up
@@ricosway7727 even the chinatown projects got black now
I have been in the city all my life I have lived everywhere the Fillmore Sunnyvale potrero Hill hunters point Lakeview I've been all over and I've enjoyed it I love the city it's just not for everybody you have to know how to accept it here and everything will be fine everyone please stay safe
born and raised in SF (sunset district). Thank you for showing these parts to the public, they are just as much a part of the city's culture as other neighborhoods but they are never shown in the media
The city needs to pay all those families for living in those mold integrated structure aka military housing once upon a time. The city turns its cheek on a lot of health violation throughout those projects!! A lot of those folks have a case of cancer from radiation from those old army bunkers and bases.
This is a fact My aunt got Brain cancer & passed from the radiation living in Hunters point for 45 years.
Very true
It's completely inexcusable that London Breed will not roll back tax breaks on Big Tech to build quality housing. It's not like we are a poor area or state. It's so upsetting to me because she, herself grew up in SF Projects and is now letting other people suffer they way she did. The day after she gave her talk to the protestors about BLM she cut funding for affordable housing, public childcare, public healthcare, fire department. So frustrated but also not down for Antifa Either. lol
They get to live there for free you don’t like it go pay real rent
Living there is a choice...i work 2 jobs too live and raise my kids in a nice subdivision ....living there is a choice sad parents would raise kids there
This was a pretty dope interview. I lived in front of this hood and would had to take the bus that passed thru this hood, worst thing Ive ever seen was police pulling out ARs🤷🏽♀️
Lol police the real gang they stay harassing us
@@nell866 lol for real. Stay blessed!
So you saying the police are the bad guys in SF? I been there once but was down in the financial district. I never knew it had this part.
police are the bad guys everywhere
Dr. Freeze exactly softest free housing they complaining lol go to watts or better yet come over to Brooklyn and Harlem by me and they will see what real hoods are
Great video (seriously). CharlieBo313......We want to see your face on the videos sometimes (the mystery man behind the wheel). God bless and stay safe.
They seem like nice kids. And respect to for the kind of shout out by saying “ there are lots of talented people living here”
Thank youu! I'm surprised myself that people don't know about these neighborhoods including ppl from SF until I bring it up. It's like these parts of my neighborhood are always looked over😭
I never seen projects with hills and nature all around, Im from nyc.
I mean the south like Atlanta..minus the hills i guess.
They call those projects The Swamp.
CUZ SAN FRANCISCO IZ 4 FRUITY NGGAZ!!!
That’s why white ppl tryna move in lmao

The City was crazy in the 90's and early 2000. It started to get gentrified around 2010.
No, wrong. The city started getting gentrified--and I'm gonna be specific here because I know--in 1994.
The only poor people--not just broke but poor--in SF live in housing projects, SRO's, rent-controlled flats, or on the streets.
@Jon Reyes
Yep.

western addition/ was already being gentrified in the early 2000s from the early tech boom....

Shout out to the two good fellas in the video 💪
Good? Lmao
💯
@@nell866 I subscribed to your channel the day I saw this video. Keep the vids coming...
jaymeez thank you
Sarah Jane thank you
Yes you did it. Good job bro, I flooded your comments all the time to do a proper SF hood.
Hey first off I have to say thanks for doing this. These are voices that aren't really heard. I'm from DC suburbs and lived in the hood as a bike messenger in early 90's and worked with and became friends with lots of guys from the hood. Later in Seattle Central District and then different parts of SF as a messenger. Truthfully I didn't really know much about these projects besides Hunters Point as I never had any reason to go there. So respect to you for going, talking with these guys in different hoods and showing them the proper respect many of them deserve. I live in Thailand these days where people think Americans are all white and rich. I try to tell them that's far from reality. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video, I'm partial to the upper east side of Manhattan myself.
the Landscape of SF always intrigue me. the aesthetics are like a Painting. 👨🎨
Only thing painted in these areas are blood after u get shot and graffiti
Damn......What a life,its something about this interview that has a Australian Outback feeling to it,but the ocean would be sand..Damn!!
As a kid, I didnt live that far from there. Those poor people have it tough there...Im glad this video was made.. Thank you
I'm from Northern SF so this was super insightful. I've never thought of the avenues as richer. Thanks for this!
avenues used to be cheap alot of locals dipped tho .... alll the grow houses are in sunsets...
@@415avenues Ppl see the Richmond district and Sunset district as the suburbs of SF cuz they safer and by the beach but they defo not the richest area in SF lol. Tbh sunset is mostly middle class Chinese ppl and some hipster/surfer ppl who live near ocean beach. Richmond district is very affluent towards the beach but geary is mostly Eastern European middle class ppl and Chinese. The rich neighborhoods in SF are near Presidio,Marina, robin williams neighborhood, ST Francis woods. Tbh the avenues get kinda grimey at night since a lot of homeless ppl go to the beach at night and during Covid hella ppl from Oakland and bayview started targeting the avenues and older Chinese ppl for east robberies since many ppl don’t speak English and won’t call police.
Thanks for the unbiased view in the hood man keep that up love the interviews
I rather be in Frisco than Oakland
Oakland is Crazy AF its Lawless over there, People be running Red Lights like its Nothing
regardless if there's some People Crossing
Im from east side Detroit.. Thanks Charlie your work is important.
this was great! Most people don’t really know about sunnydale. well those outside of sf. really enjoyed your guys’ responses! I wanted more!
No ambition, no desire to help the community or better it. No wonder these places never change.
"Oakland go crazy!" As an Oakland boy, yeeeeeeaaaah I gotta agree lmfao
Charlie, you finally made it to SF! I'm at the edge of Bayview. Welcome to SF!
:)
may GOD Bless you all🙏🏽, and may GOD Bless all those walking with JESUS CHRIST🙏🏽, in JESUS CHRIST's name i Pray🙏🏽, Amen ✝️✝️✝️✝️
Everybody movin to Stockton and Sac becuz it’s cheaper
Or Fresno.
Hella folks moving from the Bay to Sac and driving up home and rental properties.
Glockton crazy as fuck lol
Until the jack up the prices on rent it will catch up like it did everywhere else
@@crazeyjoe Fresno will stay cheap cause it seems to stay the stay nobody wants to go thier they know it's boring
I'm from Fillmore, I'm surprised you didn't film over here or Double Rock.
Right!!!
Aint no more Double Rock. They knocked that bitch down!!!!!
It used to be Fillmore now its Hays Valley. It will always be the Fillmore to me..
@@sf4d9rman Depends on what street you live on. It's Western Addition for me. I live near that Safeway on Webster st.
When they knock down the 2 Rock?? I’m late.
Before I watch this , I just Know they're gonna say the word "Hella" Alot ...
*edit: I haven't heard them say it yet* :(
6:10 is the first time I believe! :D
thats Oakland..Hella and my potna.
WHOA ! I've NEVER seen this side of San Fran until now.. Thanks for sharing this man.

Wow, that's an eye opener. That's the part of SF people don't really talk about. Thank you for sharing.
Finally hitting the West coast! Sunny California doesn't seem so sunny. Thank You for sharing the other side of our Nation that is often hidden or forgotten.
North California is always foggy and cold in the summer, sometimes it can be like that in SoCal too

Appreciate you my G
@CharlieBo313 I've watched a number of your "Hood Tours" through various US cities, and sadly the common theme that most of the interviewees wanted to project is how crazy and dangerous their hood was, as though they were/are aspiring to be from a tougher, more ghetto lifestyle vs. trying to project more POSITIVE vibes and denouncing the ghetto attitude. DEFINITELY NOT a good omen having that collective attitude.
Mike S don’t you think that if we were in a good environment we would talk about the good things obviously we don’t live in the suburbs you don’t seem to have common sense bro
Sarah Jane someone has too I appreciate you
My husband from the swamp DBG, a mofo would never be able to understand the jets unless you lived it. Good interview ya'll @nell866
Born in SF grew up in Sunnydale l remember it was rough but l have a lot of good memories in them projects where it was never boring l remember that open fence where we went down the hill towards DC to take a short cut l live in Texas now and even tho we moved to a better situation damn l miss my city l remember the cool cups for a quarter 😆 went to visit my gma recently in the Excelsior neighborhood and rode through Sunnydale and shit ain't changed since the 70s l sent pics to my brothers and sisters who live in Texas too and they were like " ls that Sunnydale projects?" I said yup and they said you better get the hell up outta there! 😆 Good times

Thank you for this. We need to address this.
My mom and grandma were raised in Sunnydale. My dad grew up in Hunters Point then moved to Sunnydale. Both of em have fond memories of the neighborhood and families that lived there. It got worse following the 80's. Now the city is starting to redevelop both Sunnydale and the Bayview. Sunnydale projects are some of the worst buildings in the city and it's past due. I just hope the residents there don't get pushed out during the redevelopment and will have a home to return too.

Wow! Didn’t know SF had hood areas. All you hear about is the expensive housing.
The expensive housing is in the hooddd
#hoodlivesmatter
6th and minna isn't that hood but its gotta be one of the hardest places if u know what I mean
UA-cam search "SF Housing Projects" and youll see all the ones out there
Some of the worst in CA. SF's dirty lil secret. Check my vids out
Im planning on moving to SF soon. I want to make it a goal of mine to help people improve their communities and fix this. I see no fairness and I feel a strong sense of abandonment here. That guy is right there is probably so much talent in that area and I want to see it come to light.
Respect for this area. I live five minutes from here and my friend lives there. Always drive through on the bus.
Ok been waiting on this one
Finally!! Last video u did in the city was trash this the real jets
Am I the only one that was hearing gunshots in the background? lol
That's every day. It dont faze them....
yah - just fireworks; almost July 4th & just had Juneteenth... fireworks all over town... but there are gunshots sometimes too.
Because they’re in the hood it’s gunshots? Omg y’all dumb.
And they don't even blink. Keep right on talking.
Ladyvisionary nah fireworks start going on everyday in the bay from June to July lol
The gangs in this area, Sunnydale, are DBG or down below gangsters. They fight with the Towerside gang up the street at the brick homes.
These two dudes seem cool and intelligent. Respect.
PEACE, PROSPERITY, BONANZA, SOBRIETY
My best friend Lamont Fields (RIP) was from Sunnydale! Sunnydale is a tough housing project, but it’s no different than other housing project!
Man, you don't know how many times I rode my bike up and down them streets...and that dirt road behind you.. and walked that Rd. to McClaren..
Seriously important. Thank you for showing the truth
We block to block with it no crips and bloods
From Oakland but love Sf
So justice was at day care and he was saying suck my dick

These guys are chill. I've seen your other videos and kids look scared
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I learned something
Thanks for the video
If you have to live in the projects, that's about the best location I can think of. McLaren Park to the north, San Bruno Mountain and the Cow Palace to the south, and the SF Bay to the east. A very scenic area with acres and acres of parkland nearby, great weather and pretty sunsets. I'm amazed the city hasn't relocated everyone and built $2 million condos there.
Ohhhh they will
They are trying unfortunately. Eventually all the hoods will be in the mountains lol.
It's in the making
I never even knew SF had this type of environment
Check my vids out
@J Rey BIG FACTS!!! 💯
You like the zacktv of hood tours love from 757 Va 💯
Sad , is this Pelosi's district, she sits in her million dollar mansion eating her ice cream of many flavors.
A million-dollar house in SF is a normal house. Mansions go for $10m at a bare minimum.
Black folks stop voting democratic
@@thinblacknoodles y? So the city can be run by facists and covid deniers
I love your work and footage and especially your interviews! A distinctive aspect re SF is that the projects are interspersed through the city instead of creating a single neighborhood that concentrates public housing. There are some exceptions of course like bayview, hunters point which is generally considered an economically depressed area. The one thing about police in this neighborhood is that Potrero hill has affluent residences and the police all like to go to their coffee shops. That may contribute to increased police presence. They also frequent noe valley which is also quite affluent with no public housing nearby, but there are coffee and food establishments. There’s not much of that kind of stuff in the “avenues”. Bravo Charlie for exposing these parts of urban life!!
I think a majority of the reason why people don’t know about these areas is because they didn’t grow up in SF like myself but it’s good to know all the parts of the city you live in. I also liked how the one guy commented on Oakland! Haha.. I’m living there now again and I call it the Wild Wild West. 😁Thanks for posting.
