Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Most DANGEROUS Areas

This is a documentary on Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philly is home to some vibrant beautiful areas however, it's also home to some of the worst crime and poverty in America. Known as one of the "poorest" largest cities in the US, it has a poverty rate of over 23%, and a violent crime rate of over 182% the National Average. Homelessness is a major issue especially in the Kensington Avenue area which we will take a look at. Median household income is around 49k, and unemployment rate is 5.4%. Although there are an enormous amount of amenities in Philly, affording it may be a whole other problem. Rent rates are extremely high in most places, and home ownership is low. Let's check out some of the most impacted area's of the city.

This city with it's historical provenance should never have been allowed to turn into what you see here. The people who have run this city for decades, didn't maintain strict zoning, maintenance, infrastructure, city service mandates. This city stopped being a landmark and historical tourist destination long ago it seems. Lost all pride. Embarrassing.

😢😥It's sad this is happening in a city known for its singers, actors, dancers.

[@tooge47]

have you ever noticed how late model cars / trucks line the streets ?
Funny, I don't see ONE 1975 Monte Carlo or ONE 2001 F250 crew cab long bed.......huh

[@hoodsnhollers]

[@JoJo-ie8sl]

It always saddens me and I wish I knew the answer for fixing the sad state of this area.

[@laretdenton9768]

Another great video

[@larrybuckner8619]

Well you’re definitely not in the Holler today.

[@hoodsnhollers]

Next video I will be!

[@larrybuckner8619]

That’s if you made it out of this one!😮​@@hoodsnhollers

[@kalinivanov7440]

I'm sure that something can be done, but unfortuantely nobody has desire to help all these innocent people in need! Let's just hope everything's gonna be alright one day!

[@maryonyszczak]

That blue overhead transit system (which I don't think we have in Canada) does not help anything on the streets below. 😢

[@parkplaceninja]

founding fathers would be proud

[@thefreestylefrEaK]

I'd be nervous just driving around those areas. Heck, watching the video gives me the creeps.

[@susanjacquier5358]

So sad..I've watched many videos about Kensington Ave. As always, there are two sides to the story. With so many people displaced with job/ home loss, rental crisis, lost manufacturing, you show us the raw truth. So called 'wealthy countries ' are not wealthy in terms of looking after their citizens. 😢

[@davidskidmore6768]

It's truly painful watching these videos. What happened to these towns, what happened to this country that would ALLOW this to happen in the first place 🤔😔

[@lauralei6963]

So that truck driver doesn’t make enough money to get away from those apts.??

[@lauralei6963]

wth that maroon truck had been sitting @ the curb, then as you are turning onto the street, they decide to pull right out in front of you😱

[@GMONEYGIFTED]

u ain't never coming to columbus huh ?

[@hoodsnhollers]

I never forgot you Gary! I’ll be there soon
