@@teeshtaddybee3071 I go to several reservations every day and they all have pretty nice looking homes and buildings. But also keep in mind that reservations here in Canada are supposed to be "independent nations" and the chiefs who receive more than enough money to maintain should be using that money towards benefiting the reservations.
Yep that’s true especially on the west side of town because they act as if people getting uppity when they make the decisions for themselves to relocate to a safer side of town. For example I use to live in Zone 6 over Candler-McAfee and then Belvedere Park rougest hoods on the east side to now living in Tucker near Clairmont Road and we finally get to experience what it’s like no longer living in the hood no more
Luckyy, i was born in Atlanta and lived there for 7 years until my parents divorced, then we moved to Texas for 1 year, and then we moved again, to California 😒 (I miss Georgia😔)
I live in the hood in Atlanta. I take great care of my home and yard. I have neighbors that have young relatives living in the other homes in my neighborhood. Throwing your garbage in the yard or constant stealing isn’t poor .It’s absolutely laziness and not acting human. I speak up every time I catch one littering and they don’t care. Atlanta has always had a great economy and they chose to be sub human. If you doubt me.... I live in SW Atlanta near Oakland city.
Nobody doubt you my friend. After picking up and dropping off people in your area for 3 years doing Uber and even getting gasoline and shopping for snacks and drinks in your area it just floors me how much garbage people throw on the streets The yards and it bus stops and no one lifts a finger to get it remedied. When I work for a factory here in Conyers Georgia 23 years ago, there was a saying from lazy geechees that went like this: I ain't got time for that shit. Still holds true today.
I remember working for a oxygen company in atl and one night I get to East atl and turn down a road with it blocked off by 50 sum dudes playing dice. I reversed and clocked out for the day lmfaooo
The trees are very good to have for shade during summer..and for bbqs and not to mention kids from the hood climbs trees for fun with their friends im from Florida and Atlanta is just like our lil towns around hear😋😋
I was in Atlanta visiting family. And I came across the nicest people, they held doors open for me in the stores, said hi to me as I walked by, I felt more welcome there than in my own state. I would love to go back to visit!
Broken window theory seems to be accurate. Seems as if nobody feels the need to pick up trash, let alone do the lawn Yet luxury cars are high on the priority list...

As a white guy, I must say that I've been in some of the roughest parts of Atlanta. In my travels, I have found that everyone in these neighborhoods were some of the nicest people that I have ever met. Never a problem whatsoever. Even a black cop helped me out one time.

I grew up in Atlanta. Graduated from North Springs High School up Roswell Road. Worked for Marietta Cobb County DPS. This looks like the south side of town. Nice to see everyone driving new cars.
@@trapmuzik6708 1983 I was the drum section leader in band. I wanted to play sports but couldn’t because of a birth defect. Still, I had a great time at North Springs. It helped me to go on and earn 2 engineering degrees from U of H in Houston. I work overseas mostly. Usually in the Middle East but also Africa. I can’t say enough good about the school. I don’t know if you remember Mrs. Ellis or not. I was on a flight from Venice Italy and kept staring at her on a shuttle bus from one plane to another. I finally asked her if she was Mrs. Ellis. Keep in mind that this was back in 2010. I barely remembered what she looked like. As soon as she spoke, I remembered her voice and knew it was her. She looked at me and said, my God, you are John Rohrer. After all those years, she still remembered who I was. I told her that I was on my way back home to Las Vegas and that I worked in the offshore petrochemical industry for ExxonMobil. Just goes to show that it’s a small world.
It's like when i worked in Compton. You can drive through these places during the day but you DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT, want to drive through there at night. This is no way for human beings to live. The projects are the worst, but they build new ones and they are rundown looking in a few months. There has to be some personal responsibility involved. There are reasons humans end up in these areas but there are things they could do to improve them.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Some tough looking places, there in Atlanta. I know you must be careful, you keep posting videos, so you still make it thru the mean streets of the US. I watch your videos like I've never watched anything else, can't stop watching. Thanx for your time and efforts.
@Jose Chivo mostly maybe, but i was in east oakland recently, just working trying to find an address and someone shot at my car! in broad daylight! i feel lucky but sometimes its best to just avoid these areas all together
I still remember the day I arrived at U.S., my friend picked me up and drove through those hoods in Atlanta to avoid the traffic jam on I-75. The first impression is that GTA is real.
I've lived in Bavaria Germany, nothing there was as bad as what you see in the US. Merkel has imported millions of Africans & people from the middle east so Europe now has parts like this too? Ghetto America
@@fletcherberry8249 loads of great hospitable people, but also lots of fuckery which is undeniable. gentrification is going to take a while.. it is still quite a war zone.
Your program is so good but I guess you could talk something about the places and some interviews as you already in Boston or Chicago I don't remember precisely...but congrets felow
The house at 4:13 on the left with the awning is really cute. They are trying. Reminds me of mine a bit of my house. I am dealing with the same problems... the house on my one side is worth about $5k, there is a park on the other side which is fine... most of the time, and the house next to the park is boarded up.
honestly bro, i'm white AF and didnt really get messed with. even at night.. mostly dealers just hollering. definitely gun shots everywhere though..i once saw a murderer running away after he gunned down one of my neighbors. i looked outside and dude was running away, he had an AK in his pants i came to find out after detectives questioned me. there was only one instance where i felt as if i was in danger. i lived there for little over a year, trying to save rent $. lol.
I had the best experience as I made my first steps in a South Florida projects complex. My aunt lives there for around 17 years since she migrated from East Europe. I grew up myself in a good district around entrepreneur and lawyers and doctors in a suburban city in a metropolitan region in Germany. At that time I was 23 years old and worked out a lot so I was 240 lbs and 6' 1'' and of course caucasian with a short military haircut. I just simply looked like a cop. As I made the first step in this hood everyone penetrated my body with their stare. After that they all went back home, because they believe I was an undercover cop or some FBI or CIA agent, because I am fluent in French, German, Polish, English and Russian.
Honest question...why is it in every hood you film, the people that live there are always standing in the middle of the street to have full conversations? Then they act inconvenienced when the have to move out of the way for a car passing through. They do know there are sidewalks right?
This video is a testament to the need for construction, landscaping and realty knowledge to be spread throughout the hoods of America. Not just for the sake of self-employment but mainly for the purpose of self care. Our neighborhoods are our responsibility. No one is going to leave their nice suburban communities to come and clean and renovate our raggedy neighborhoods for us! It's a shame that so many black people believe that this is a normal way for human beings to live. Then again, the only places we lived before the hoods of America were the plantations of America. Speaking of which, it's interesting that the most churches and religious institutions in the U.S.A are located in the ghettos. Each one claiming to contain the "power" of God. Yet, they lack the power to bring Black people out of the slave mentality that has plagued them for five centuries. Nearly two churches on every block yet our neighborhoods are the most hellish places in the country outside of the prisons!
It isn't true that black people in America have had a slave mentality for centuries. They've had it since the 1960s, when the rise of the welfare state led to dependency, single motherhood, unemployment and misbehavior. Before that, the quality of life for black people was increasing, even with racism.
Guga big Facts black people were thriving after slavery ended we had our own business we had the black Wall Street Lol , the efficiency and number of black business were booming , the average black family had a house car an were very smart with money coming right after a time we’re we had an owned nothing so we took care of our stuff an Raised our family properly .. after finally being given rights an opportunity to establish wealth we didn’t take it for granted , we started becoming more productive then white familes ....but we we’re so concerned about what the white people had and they used that against us , They started to see us ( the black market ) as a Opportunity to make even more money 💴 ...Y treat them bad an make money when we can trick em to thinking we treating them good and MAKE MORE MONEY BY SELLING STUFF TO THEM ,You know since they wanna be apart of this country as a equal So bad ...you see we’re I’m going with this lol basically it’s like why kill the flies when we can allow The Flies In The House Then Sell everyone Flytraps💡
Wrong. Sorry Hannibal but you're wrong. There is no need for teaching construction and landscaping. You will agree. just watch. how is it we can get someone from south of the border and give them a job doing those things and before they can pick up the language they're an expert in those fields? Those are the easiest things to learn. it doesn't need taught. when you have 365 days a year, let's go 180 good days with every neighborhood street having 12 kids playing basketball, on every street section... that's alot of kids. If they're not already taking bricks from the trashed house and fixing up grandma's stoop, they're never going to. if they're not grabbing rakes and cleaning the yards they're not going to. If they're not taking machetes and cutting limbs off overgrown trees, they're not going to. Yet they'll watch as the migrant comes in not speaking any english and keep watching by the time he's got his own commercial truck with a registered business license and has a crew of 30 with 20 lawn tractors. Teaching them isn't going to change it. If they wanted that skill they'd make it happen.
My comment might be out of place but in my perspective as a Latino i'm watching those big houses separated each one from another with gardens and many fresh green areas and i think to my self: damn.. i wish could live somewhere alike, how Americans don't apreciate what they have anymore i mean look how fucked up the world is out there, US and Canada are some of the few places where you can see these types of Neighbourhoods, in Latin-America there are few exclusive for the high class while the rest of houses are small sticked together with no gardens i'd even dare to say these hoods are a heaven compared to the poor zones in Central America where people live in sheet huts and no mention of the "Salvatruchas", in Europe they ran out of big houses a long time ago, come on Russia is the total opposite of this, there everyone lives in small appartments some very sad and dull with no green areas and so on with many other places around the Globe so i can't believe these type of neighborhoods have become dangerous but well, it seems the world is getting worst all the time...
Ernesto. You need to think beyond your current state. Aspire. Videos like this should show you where you never want to be in life. Get career. Get an education. Stack assets. Don't get married and definitely don't have kids. You will dominate your life. It's not about the "Latin-American" community. It's about you.
I see all kinds of people just hanging around on the street. If you have time to lean; you have time to clean. Get a broom, rake, shovel ...anything. .Help get that neighborhood back together. Take some pride in your surroundings.
They don't know the real meaning of life! Just ignorant with no home training and no morals, or no pride in their neighborhoods! Anybody should know how to keep their yard up and clean up around their houses, what's hard about that?
Good video Charlie the hood here in Alanta which is the south. Look worse than some hoods in the north and better than some hoods in the north. WOW man.
4:45 INTO this video and shit gets real, real. I always find terrible neighborhoods very interesting. Just because you are poor does not mean you have to live like a slob. I learned this from my grandmother who didn’t have two nickels to rub together yet she still kept her small, old row home in South Philly nice and clean. No money does not equal living in trash piles. No money does not mean not giving a shit about your neighborhood and just letting everything go to hell. Have some pride and dignity. Be part of the solution not part of the problem! Get off your ass and decide today I’m going to do something positive to move my life forward. As opposed to sitting around all day doing nothing but drinking 40’s and smoking blunts. I don’t care what color your skin is. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for your sense of self worth.
It amazes me too. Like a lost (or never existing) sense of pride in your neighborhood. Go sweep some sidewalks or remove some brush, dispose of some garbage. Little daily steps can make a difference. It's disheartening, I'm sure it's not been like this from the beginning.
a good message to spread especially to the punk above who loves talking about cats taking a s*** in the toilet when they really can do that type of thing racist motherfukers like that definitely deserve to have themselves dragged in the middle of the street with a rope tied around their neck covered in tar and feathers now that would be a real Hood treat
Self-worth. That's at the heart of all this. When you don't see a future, you don't prepare for one. When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. Vicious cycle.
Beautiful greenery, trees & shrubs. Not taking care of your property is a depressed mindset. Until that changes, these neighborhoods will continue to decline. Very sad indeed.
Always wonder about the people living in the random houses that are perfectly maintained with beautiful yards. Are they trapped knowing they are never going to be able to sell? How do they stand looking at the filth around them?
Honestly most home owners in the city don't really have interest in selling their homes. Its more about the sentimental value, people worked hard to be able to purchase homes especially blacks in the south they do that on the hopes of having something to leave for their family, with the expectations that the family will upkeep and do the same as they did and pass it along to the future generations.
@@jasoncardwell8535 I don't see that happening here in Atlanta of what you put in the last sentence of your post. The big reason why I don't see that happening: too many single parent families. And there's a bunch of 70 years ago you had a 15% of the population were single parent families. Now that figure is 74%. How do you cultivate discipline when the mothers don't know how to close their legs? It's a vicious cycle and it goes on at year after year after year. And the black churches won't address it because they don't want to offend their congregation.
@@luhdreka Pay that jackass no mind at least Atlanta has alot going for it's self and a place people can be proud to say they are from unfortunately I can't say the same about my hometown Baltimore 😔😔😔😔

12:17 Joseph E Lowery and Joseph E Boone formerly known as Simpson and Ashby. That little store before you reach Chevron is the spot for all sorts of activity. You can also charge your phone for a dollar in that store. The Bluff can be dangerous but keep to yourself and you'll be fine. Believe me. I used to hang around those areas 12 hours a day and I'm Korean. Just don't start no beef and if yuou buy drugs there, pay back your fronts. Shit, I know some folk down there.
I've lived in Atlanta since elementary and I'm in my 40's now. It's not as bad as it use to be back in the 80's and 90's. Back then there were a lot of housing projects, that are gone now, that you would not want to go through anytime of the day or night.
At least in low income communities there are people going outside and interacting with one another. Kids playing outside, neighbors saying hello. People really don't do that stuff nowadays and its sad...
How come every house looks like it's been in some kind of explosion? On a positive note, it looks very green there with all the trees and plants. Kind of reminds me of the English countryside where I am from.

@@trapmuzik6708 1983 I was the drum section leader in band. I wanted to play sports but couldn’t because of a birth defect. Still, I had a great time at North Springs. It helped me to go on and earn 2 engineering degrees from U of H in Houston. I work overseas mostly. Usually in the Middle East but also Africa. I can’t say enough good about the school. I don’t know if you remember Mrs. Ellis or not. I was on a flight from Venice Italy and kept staring at her on a shuttle bus from one plane to another. I finally asked her if she was Mrs. Ellis. Keep in mind that this was back in 2010. I barely remembered what she looked like. As soon as she spoke, I remembered her voice and knew it was her. She looked at me and said, my God, you are John Rohrer. After all those years, she still remembered who I was. I told her that I was on my way back home to Las Vegas and that I worked in the offshore petrochemical industry for ExxonMobil. Just goes to show that it’s a small world.
It's like when i worked in Compton. You can drive through these places during the day but you DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT, want to drive through there at night. This is no way for human beings to live.
The projects are the worst, but they build new ones and they are rundown looking in a few months. There has to be some personal responsibility involved. There are reasons humans end up in these areas but there are things they could do to improve them.

Sounds like... Gentrification.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Some tough looking places, there in Atlanta. I know you must be careful, you keep posting videos, so you still make it thru the mean streets of the US. I watch your videos like I've never watched anything else, can't stop watching. Thanx for your time and efforts.
Thanks for watching.
@Jose Chivo mostly maybe, but i was in east oakland recently, just working trying to find an address and someone shot at my car! in broad daylight! i feel lucky but sometimes its best to just avoid these areas all together
I see a whole lot of trap houses 🏚
and what's the prob with that gotta get that 💰
@Itis Me 😂😂😂 right
I still remember the day I arrived at U.S., my friend picked me up and drove through those hoods in Atlanta to avoid the traffic jam on I-75. The first impression is that GTA is real.
Don't have nothing better to do. Yes you best do this in day time. Good job for playin it safe.
What an absurd world, for me as a german this looks like a different planet. I don't even know what to say, i'am shocked.
Don't say nothing you might say the wrong thing they are great people never judge a book by its cover
@@fletcherberry8249 I didn't say anything about the people, i was talking about that place, the streets, the buildings etc.
I've lived in Bavaria Germany, nothing there was as bad as what you see in the US. Merkel has imported millions of Africans & people from the middle east so Europe now has parts like this too? Ghetto America
@@fletcherberry8249 loads of great hospitable people, but also lots of fuckery which is undeniable. gentrification is going to take a while.. it is still quite a war zone.
Just don't say anything.
Your program is so good but I guess you could talk something about the places and some interviews as you already in Boston or Chicago I don't remember precisely...but congrets felow
The house at 4:13 on the left with the awning is really cute. They are trying. Reminds me of mine a bit of my house. I am dealing with the same problems... the house on my one side is worth about $5k, there is a park on the other side which is fine... most of the time, and the house next to the park is boarded up.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Of course, he's a cop.
🤡🤡🤡listen to u
I wouldn’t last 5 minutes walking around there. Lol
Nobody will bother you
During the day, keep to yourself and you'd probably be fine. After dark, all bets are off.
honestly bro, i'm white AF and didnt really get messed with. even at night.. mostly dealers just hollering. definitely gun shots everywhere though..i once saw a murderer running away after he gunned down one of my neighbors. i looked outside and dude was running away, he had an AK in his pants i came to find out after detectives questioned me. there was only one instance where i felt as if i was in danger. i lived there for little over a year, trying to save rent $. lol.
If your black...
Yes you will.
I live an hour away from ATL and let me tell you an hour makes a huge difference it’s so much nicer where I live than it is in that cess pit
I can feel the Humidity through the screen🥵
I hear you Derrick.
I had the best experience as I made my first steps in a South Florida projects complex. My aunt lives there for around 17 years since she migrated from East Europe. I grew up myself in a good district around entrepreneur and lawyers and doctors in a suburban city in a metropolitan region in Germany.
At that time I was 23 years old and worked out a lot so I was 240 lbs and 6' 1'' and of course caucasian with a short military haircut. I just simply looked like a cop. As I made the first step in this hood everyone penetrated my body with their stare. After that they all went back home, because they believe I was an undercover cop or some FBI or CIA agent, because I am fluent in French, German, Polish, English and Russian.
These are the most real videos I've ever seen about America, it's to be congratulated. 🤔👍
Try to know South America And you 'll know the underworld
A REAL ghetto that is. Stop romanticizing poverty and crime. Grow up!
You’re very brave to do this thank you for the video
Im loving yhis ride the scenery isgreat quiet nice ride. Lots of trees im enjoying this seeing diffrent neiober hoods nice ride thanks
Honest question...why is it in every hood you film, the people that live there are always standing in the middle of the street to have full conversations? Then they act inconvenienced when the have to move out of the way for a car passing through. They do know there are sidewalks right?
“This is our block , you can pass , but only because we let you.”
If you're that curious why don't you go to the hood and ask the folks yourself?
Florida Nword "ah yes, excuse me good sirs and madams but may I ask why you people loiter in the middle of the street?"
you never hung out in the middle of a residential road before? its not like it was a highway
@@Artisan322 Is it really loitering if they're in their own neighborhood tho
This video is a testament to the need for construction, landscaping and realty knowledge to be spread throughout the hoods of America. Not just for the sake of self-employment but mainly for the purpose of self care. Our neighborhoods are our responsibility. No one is going to leave their nice suburban communities to come and clean and renovate our raggedy neighborhoods for us!
It's a shame that so many black people believe that this is a normal way for human beings to live. Then again, the only places we lived before the hoods of America were the plantations of America.
Speaking of which, it's interesting that the most churches and religious institutions in the U.S.A are located in the ghettos. Each one claiming to contain the "power" of God. Yet, they lack the power to bring Black people out of the slave mentality that has plagued them for five centuries. Nearly two churches on every block yet our neighborhoods are the most hellish places in the country outside of the prisons!
So true....so true.
It isn't true that black people in America have had a slave mentality for centuries. They've had it since the 1960s, when the rise of the welfare state led to dependency, single motherhood, unemployment and misbehavior. Before that, the quality of life for black people was increasing, even with racism.
Guga big Facts black people were thriving after slavery ended we had our own business we had the black Wall Street Lol , the efficiency and number of black business were booming , the average black family had a house car an were very smart with money coming right after a time we’re we had an owned nothing so we took care of our stuff an Raised our family properly .. after finally being given rights an opportunity to establish wealth we didn’t take it for granted , we started becoming more productive then white familes ....but we we’re so concerned about what the white people had and they used that against us , They started to see us ( the black market ) as a Opportunity to make even more money 💴 ...Y treat them bad an make money when we can trick em to thinking we treating them good and MAKE MORE MONEY BY SELLING STUFF TO THEM ,You know since they wanna be apart of this country as a equal So bad ...you see we’re I’m going with this lol basically it’s like why kill the flies when we can allow The Flies In The House Then Sell everyone Flytraps💡
Amen teach it!
Wrong. Sorry Hannibal but you're wrong. There is no need for teaching construction and landscaping. You will agree. just watch. how is it we can get someone from south of the border and give them a job doing those things and before they can pick up the language they're an expert in those fields?
Those are the easiest things to learn. it doesn't need taught. when you have 365 days a year, let's go 180 good days with every neighborhood street having 12 kids playing basketball, on every street section... that's alot of kids.
If they're not already taking bricks from the trashed house and fixing up grandma's stoop, they're never going to. if they're not grabbing rakes and cleaning the yards they're not going to. If they're not taking machetes and cutting limbs off overgrown trees, they're not going to.
Yet they'll watch as the migrant comes in not speaking any english and keep watching by the time he's got his own commercial truck with a registered business license and has a crew of 30 with 20 lawn tractors.
Teaching them isn't going to change it. If they wanted that skill they'd make it happen.
I'm enjoying these hood videos from the comfort of my home!
My comment might be out of place but in my perspective as a Latino i'm watching those big houses separated each one from another with gardens and many fresh green areas and i think to my self: damn.. i wish could live somewhere alike, how Americans don't apreciate what they have anymore i mean look how fucked up the world is out there, US and Canada are some of the few places where you can see these types of Neighbourhoods, in Latin-America there are few exclusive for the high class while the rest of houses are small sticked together with no gardens i'd even dare to say these hoods are a heaven compared to the poor zones in Central America where people live in sheet huts and no mention of the "Salvatruchas", in Europe they ran out of big houses a long time ago, come on Russia is the total opposite of this, there everyone lives in small appartments some very sad and dull with no green areas and so on with many other places around the Globe so i can't believe these type of neighborhoods have become dangerous but well, it seems the world is getting worst all the time...
Ernesto Alvarez It is...
Ernesto. You need to think beyond your current state. Aspire. Videos like this should show you where you never want to be in life. Get career. Get an education. Stack assets. Don't get married and definitely don't have kids. You will dominate your life. It's not about the "Latin-American" community. It's about you.
Loved your comment man. Very true

I see all kinds of people just hanging around on the street. If you have time to lean; you have time to clean. Get a broom, rake, shovel ...anything. .Help get that neighborhood back together. Take some pride in your surroundings.

@@johnnymichael1804 STFU racist terd
Think they could spend some of that hard earn drug money on fixing up some homes but having a nicer ride is more important
They don't know the real meaning of life! Just ignorant with no home training and no morals, or no pride in their neighborhoods! Anybody should know how to keep their yard up and clean up around their houses, what's hard about that?
Hellcat > a nice house
I am from Atlanta. These people are some of the nicest people you can meet. They are genuine.
Good video Charlie the hood here in Alanta which is the south. Look worse than some hoods in the north and better than some hoods in the north. WOW man.
4:45 INTO this video and shit gets real, real. I always find terrible neighborhoods very interesting. Just because you are poor does not mean you have to live like a slob. I learned this from my grandmother who didn’t have two nickels to rub together yet she still kept her small, old row home in South Philly nice and clean. No money does not equal living in trash piles. No money does not mean not giving a shit about your neighborhood and just letting everything go to hell. Have some pride and dignity. Be part of the solution not part of the problem! Get off your ass and decide today I’m going to do something positive to move my life forward. As opposed to sitting around all day doing nothing but drinking 40’s and smoking blunts. I don’t care what color your skin is. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for your sense of self worth.
Aimee Webber >>>Yeah your right. Let’s just say fuck it and give up. YOU are part of the problem.
It amazes me too. Like a lost (or never existing) sense of pride in your neighborhood. Go sweep some sidewalks or remove some brush, dispose of some garbage. Little daily steps can make a difference. It's disheartening, I'm sure it's not been like this from the beginning.
a good message to spread especially to the punk above who loves talking about cats taking a s*** in the toilet when they really can do that type of thing racist motherfukers like that definitely deserve to have themselves dragged in the middle of the street with a rope tied around their neck covered in tar and feathers now that would be a real Hood treat
Self-worth. That's at the heart of all this. When you don't see a future, you don't prepare for one. When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. Vicious cycle.
Beautiful greenery, trees & shrubs. Not taking care of your property is a depressed mindset. Until that changes, these neighborhoods will continue to decline. Very sad indeed.
Always wonder about the people living in the random houses that are perfectly maintained with beautiful yards. Are they trapped knowing they are never going to be able to sell? How do they stand looking at the filth around them?
Nothing to stop the locals cleaning up their own streets.
Honestly most home owners in the city don't really have interest in selling their homes. Its more about the sentimental value, people worked hard to be able to purchase homes especially blacks in the south they do that on the hopes of having something to leave for their family, with the expectations that the family will upkeep and do the same as they did and pass it along to the future generations.
@@jasoncardwell8535 I don't see that happening here in Atlanta of what you put in the last sentence of your post. The big reason why I don't see that happening: too many single parent families. And there's a bunch of 70 years ago you had a 15% of the population were single parent families. Now that figure is 74%. How do you cultivate discipline when the mothers don't know how to close their legs? It's a vicious cycle and it goes on at year after year after year. And the black churches won't address it because they don't want to offend their congregation.
I'll give respect to atlanta that it actually looks live. People be outside
City dump the ghetto boys make it look that way anywhere there at it looks like a dumping ground

12:17 Joseph E Lowery and Joseph E Boone formerly known as Simpson and Ashby. That little store before you reach Chevron is the spot for all sorts of activity.

Forget the hood part, it's creepy.
How come every house looks like it's been in some kind of explosion? On a positive note, it looks very green there with all the trees and plants. Kind of reminds me of the English countryside where I am from.
