Saw a documentary on poverty on PBS. It mentioned South Memphis. Said there's a zip code in that area that 90% of households are single mothers. Unbelievable but true. You want to know why this place , and the others he drives around , are in this state? It's hopeless
Memphis has a 85% birth out of wedlock rate for the whole city. The combination of extremely high school drop out rate along with high teen pregnancy has locked the city into 35% poverty rate. Causing high crime and to many freebie social programs. The circle can not be broken.
I'll have to look again for the well kept home. All I saw were run down hovels with trash/mattresses in front. Reminds me of the saying: You're much better off with the trashiest home in a good area than the nicest home in a trashy area.
@@TheOldTapeArchive A couple of examples are at 7:02 - a couple of modest but well-maintained houses with mowed and clean yards, followed by abandoned lots and boarded up houses, and then at 9:20, with a single well-kept house in a sea of run down homes. It has to be hard maintaining morale, while living around so much deterioration, and they do kind of fade into the background.
Some people still take a pride in the upkeep of their home,even if others around them do not. Personally I allow vegetation to grow pretty wild within some bounds - the flowers on my weeds attract the bees and I also encourage birds and hedgehogs - but I will never tolerate litter on my patch.
It's not so bad living here. Every large city has some areas like this. Memphis has always had a bad rep since Yellow Fever hit us hard in the late 19th century. We even lost our city charter for a few years because of that epidemic. Sadly, we've never fully recovered, and after the assination of Dr. King in 1968, our fate was sealed.
Im from North Memphis.. but i currently stay in South Memphis. After watching this video, I would like all the people in the comments to know that this isn't even CLOSE to being "the most violent" area in South Memphis. Not to mention, if ANYONE truly knows the streets of South Memphis, you'll see that he didn't go anywhere but just circled the same blocks off McLemore 🤷🏽
Right I stay by between Hamilton Middle and high been here 4yrs no problems he need to go down McLean/Peabody willet Its nice areas in Memphis Central willet show those areas
Beats growing up in a queen housing project, or any apartment building in Queens, where there’s nothing but concrete. I would love to see grass when I was a kid and have a backyard. The only problem is people dont take care of property
Memphis didn't get as bad as it is until them hurricane Katrina folks came here and didn't go back! That's also the case with a lot of cities where they dumped those people!
@@kaydod3190false I’m a 70’s baby NEVER was Memphis violent 😂😂😂 it started in the early 90’s and got worse after Katrina it’s really went down moved away 9 years ago. Nahhh we wasnt ducking and dodging bullets growing up where did you get that from 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nashville has no diversity! It's full of California and New York folks. Their homeless population is off the charts for selling grandma nem house. They have alot if crime just not broadcast as much. Food is horrible here n Memphis will reign Supreme again. Elon Musk,Ford,Buccees ain't investing in the area for nothing.
Im from memphis I lived in glendale/ Phoenix 5yrs currently back here They have ruff sides to southside but one thing i say about up there ghetto/ruff parts are clean streets tooken care of not lot runt down burt up houses It luxury compare to memphis.
Quite contrary. Most people fail to believe that whites are actually safer than blacks are in these neighborhoods. An unknown white is an unknown white. An unknown black is looked upon differently. Like possibly coming to do a drive-by, etc.
What a waste; all these boarded up houses, many of them still fixable, and we have cities full of homeless migrants. Fix these places up and bring life back to the city?
Estou perplexa diante da realidade desses vídeos. Alguém pode me dizer como esses lugares chegaram nesse estado lastimável e tudo praticamente abandonado??? ou são só ruinas mas as pessoas estão lá!!!
I grew up in Memphis in the late 70's , 80's, 90's and Memphis ""WAS"" a really great place to live with a lot of opportunities. Memphis has so much great culture, music, history both good and bad. Its really sad to see this city just laid to waste. Some of the areas he is driving in used to be hard working family neighborhoods where people thrived with life and now its ALL GHETTO with empty houses and businesses everywhere. Some of those houses are actually beautiful houses, if they were taken care of. I am blessed that I don't live there anymore and never will. I just visit family on holidays and that is enough for me. #TRUMP2024 #FJB
I grew up in Memphis, TN during the 70's, 80's and 90's. That city *used* to be really a great place to live. So I completely disagree with you. Memphis is the home of Rock and Roll AND Blues music. Yes, Memphis has a bad history as with many cities in America, however, I have known many successful people that grew up in Memphis and then moved elsewhere, like myself.. @@kaydod3190
They only show the bad parts of Memphis it’s pretty good parts of Memphis to like east south and north they all got good parts but people that ain’t from Memphis show the bad but that’s all I’m saying and if you mind yo business in Memphis you cool
I'm 100% sure the person making this video is not from Memphis. My city is no different from any other major city. There are good parts and bad parts. Even in Hollywood.
Memphis has gotten progressively worse and is truly more dangerous than other cities. There are no more "good parts" of Memphis. Young folks are killing each other over chicken these days.
This looks just like Atlanta and/or Detroit. But Philly still wins with the absolute worst hood in America... with perhaps Gary Indiana a super close 2nd.
Memphis still looks desolate though. And Philly only has a few hoods that's ridiculously trashy because of the homeless and addicts. Kensington, Harrowgate, and Fairhill all of which border each other. Then there's small pockets of trashy rundown blocks within different less dirty neighborhoods. Philly is more active and thriving. Philly has zombieland Kensington because of the addicts, but these southern hoods actually look like the walking dead. I think Jackson, Miss look worse and the midwest Detroit for how vacant it is.
And on top of that Memphis has a homicides rate of 11.2 so far at only 3 moths into the year. While Philly is only at 4.1 because Memphis has more homicides than NYC and Philly right now for such a small city. Millions vs 600k ppl yet the murder is still rivaling and surpassing metropolitans. That's pretty bad!
Same things as so many other big cities: disinvestment from the rise of suburbia and systemic housing discrimination plus the outsourcing of the job industries that made the cities attractive to move to. Also throw in some political corruption. Then you have the connections to the drug trade to combine with the concentrated urban poverty and dysfunction that led to the rise of street gangs and addicts who will commit crimes to support their habits.

Such a strange place. You go from some quite nice well kept homes to a complete war zone within 5 seconds.

I live about 100 miles north of Memphis and I have to say it's extremely safe and peaceful where I live. Weird to be so close to this.

The quality of education in Queens is a million times better than this dump. And there’s WAY more to do.
If I ever drive to Memphis sometime in the future, I will shop at the Friendly Food Market. 0:55
In that hood you'll probably get shot at the Friendly Food Market.
On the brighter side, I'm thankful that I don't HAVE to live there.
If you are weary of life, Memphis would be a good place to visit.
