Buffalo, New York | What The Hell Happened?

- Buffalo, New York is looking ROUGH! With violent crime rates twice the national average, and a soaring poverty level of over 28%, this city has its work cut out for them. Let's take a drive and check out some of the worst areas.
WHEN THE CHURCHES ARE BOARDED UP YOU KNOW IT'S OVER.😮
Almost all of the cities outside of NYC looks like Buffalo. Rochester, Albany, Niagra Falls, Syracuse, Troy, Schenectady, Utica, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Newburgh and other cities in New York State looks like this.
Have spent time in Utica, decades ago. Even then it was a mighty grim place.
Elmwood Village in Buffalo & Fleetwood Mt. Vernon look nothing like this. There are two sides to the coin.
Yonkers actually looks better than this
so many beautiful buildings just abandoned ... makes me mad. It´s just frustrating to see that.
You know things are bad when the cops abandoned a police station
8:15 - Now, that oughtta tell you somethin': the ONLY business that is STILL up n running is the liquor store!
That’s a sad reality 😢
The decline of the Roman Empire.
Every former steel town has neighborhoods falling in. People moved away and many homes were just left to fall in. Old manufacturing buildings become dangerous eyesores. There should be something in place to stop manufacturers from abandoning their factories. Either sell them or tear them down. Those old housing projects should have come down the day after the last person moved out, so the government is complicit in the mess.
Well said...agree 100%
Absolutely true
Good point.
Maybe house the homeless?
That big old abandoned church,beautiful building so sad to see it decaying
It's sad to see any once thriving beautiful place go downhill. Not just a church.
Wow 😮 thanks for sharing. Most people want to see videos of exotic places, but this is the reality for most folks in America. Love the ambient sound of your videos. Great work!
Thanks for watching!
Just across the border in Canada, people are spending $2,000 per month just for a single bedroom to sleep in. In Buffalo, the same room costs only $500 per month. If you want the Buffalo economy to pick up, just allow Canadians to live in Buffalo for the nights, then have them commute to their jobs back in Canada in the morning. You will have hundreds of thousand of Canadians flocking to Buffalo for cheaper housing, and they will then be spending their money in Buffalo for groceries and other things, and this influx of millions of dollars each month will help support the Buffalo economy.
Canadians in Windsor cross the border daily to work in Detroit. What you say re: living in Buffalo sounds good but the crime perception might hold people back.
100%! Sounds good to me.
The only huge flaw is the wait at the border. If this could happen, the wait could be 3 hours +. Nope. Not happening.
My sister ran away from home back in the early 70's. We found her in Buffalo NY. She was pregnant and living with a guy. My parents tried to get her to come home but she wanted to stay. My dad made the guy marry her. We went to Niagara Falls after that and back home to Pittsburgh. When I saw B. NY..it brought back memories..😊
Every video of every city and town comes down to “the jobs left”. That’s what happened. They came for the jobs and then the jobs went away.
For an European it’s interesting to see this kind of the American way of life.
Sadly, it’s not uncommon in the rust belt. When communities rely on 1 or 2 companies (manufacturing) and the companies leave or fold, this is the result.
I enjoy watching European city videos, they have poor areas but nothing like American cities, they also preserve their old architecture. Most European cities look very nice.
Where life ?
It's been about six years since I've been to Buffalo since moving further away. I've always liked visiting and it's hard to see it go down further but I appreciate your videos because they show reality. Thanks for this!
Thanks for watching!
0:39 - The PERFECT location to film a Zombie movie...!!
Toronto is only an hour away and it’s like a completely different world.
Very true this is sad😢
At one point in the late 60s early 70s Toronto and Buffalo were competing in population and growth and wealth.
2 hours
Toronto was never a big manufacturing town. Windsor is probably a better example.
Decadent, depressive and still fascinating : seems like lot of places in the US are falling apart
There’s too many people homeless to have so many empty buildings. It’s so ridiculous.
@ToriNore My same thoughts.
I lived there in the early 70’s. It was pretty depressing then too.
It’s really sad to see the abandoned churches.
Buffalo is another great american that was sold out. Here is something to think about . In the last 70 years united states population in 1940 was 132,165,129 million . In 2020 it 331,449 281 ...The u.s. population has tripled in 80 year. Threw automation has cut jobs. Now low paying retail and service job that left.
The city's population has dropped by about 50% since its peak in around 1950 - half as many people need half as many buildings, and this is the result.
Sad to see...I was born and raised there.......left and never went back....
Some rust belt towns have died. Others have not. Bethlehem, PA, has taken the derelict Steel Stacks and turned them into a thriving arts center. They also have walkways so you can walk along the old steel stacks.
Greets from Hamburg in Germany. as a facility manager I love to watch such videos and I thing that the red bricks came from the scottisch irisch and german settlers or workers, red bricks are a traditionall building material. Hamburg is the second biggest city in Germany and is "the red bricks" house city. Many buildings like the "Chile Haus" big office buildings are made out of this bricks.
Buffallo today looks like many citys of the usa where NOT the rich live.
Is this the new trend in the US? Plywood windows!
It feels like the end of the world happened before the end of the world.
It's like this all over north America,even small towns.
What the hell HADN'T happened???
A lot of Buffalo is very nice. Every city has its hood.
In terms of sheer ugliness and depressing vibes, Buffalo has Detroit beat.
detroit still way worse.
This is the solution to the homeless problem in America.
Just renovate these empty environments and place them right there.
How can the US be the strongest and richest country in the world with these cities and environments?! No understand...
I love Buffalo and its people but: No jobs = No money = No food = I'm outta here
Ah man...Poor Buffalo...lived there when I was only 3 n 4 for 1 year...so coarse my Memories are sparred from what might of been...really I just remember the Weather being absolutely Wild...70° one day 4 ft of Snow the Next...
Steel plants closed
High taxes
Bad weather
etc
There should have been something in place to stop manufacturers from abandoning their country!
WOW, another great video. Your camera is so clear and awsome. Thanks for the ride!
Thanks so much !
This hurts to see. I grew up in Rochester, Buffalo, and Greece. My grandma has lived in Rochester by #7 school for over 60 years. When I was little, we would walk to Wegmans, school, and church with no fear. But that has changed!!! I beg her to move but she won't. She's been robbed and still won't move. I moved to Florida many years ago and will never move back to NY. It hurts to see the condition the city has been reduced to. The beautiful buildings wasting away... Sad.
Always so sad to see places like this. When I think of Buffalo I think of Niagara falls
Canadian side of Niagara Falls in head and shoulders above American side.
📉 Economics dictate. It's basic math. If 1 or 2 companies are 80% of the towns employment and tax revenue, and one or both closes. That's the end of the town. Buffalo is such an example. Very sad.
Well the lumber companies are thriving selling all that plywood.
The industrial age was when everyone could eat, but those days are now long gone.
Also Buffalo is not as bad as other Rust Belt cities in terms of decay. The city is actually recovering for quite some time and more people are moving here from the Northeast cities.
The old Richardson building has some cool architecture I think.
No real economy and lake effect snow doesn't sound cozy and inviting.
Looks like its hasn't changed much from when I was there in the 90s....We took a wrong turn and ended up in this area...My head was on permanent swivel until we got out of area...
Nigra Falls, which is 20 min from Buffalo, looks exactly like that .
Niagra is coming up soon on the channel!
@hoodsnhollers I was there last summer for a couple of days. Please show the real niagra falls, not just a fall.
Wow! What are those huge buildings ? They were all attached.
Its the old Buffalo Psychiatric Center (A mental asylum), those are the wings that gradually got shorter as they went out. The more insane the patients were, the farther out from the central administration building they'd be housed. The outer wings that he showed in the video are abandoned, the middle few are a hotel and on the other side a few were unfortunately demolished to build the outbuildings of the current psychiatric center.
Hamilton ontario I drove through was a massive industrial city at one time. Based on what I saw it has bounced back . I didn't see any areas like this there . Many Towers going up in it's downtown . Why hasn't Buffalo been able to turn around?
The old Perry projects will be demolished soon.A whole new rebuild it's gonna be beautiful.You can go google Perry projects.I believe their a blueprint of what it will look like I love my city.But yes we struggle like any other city.But we are the city of good neighbors #716❤
Where do the city's residents work, who is left behind? How do they live?
I crossed the border from Canada to Buffallo back in the 90's. I was only there for a couple off hours, I didn't see areas like this but what I saw made me feel very nervous. It was very dystopian.
This place looks post apocalyptic
What happened was America evolved from a manufacturing to a service based economy
Buffalo been rough for decades plus once again their field goal kicker failed them....
Buffalo has been dying for decades. Did you know Buffalo was one of the first cities with abundant electricity? Yes they had hydro-electric power back in the 1880s. It was just a boom town. Once electricity became more widespread in America businesses moved away.
What beautiful architect buildings there is much that can be done for this area it still looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching
Yet there’s almost 900k people in the region if you include the suburbs. The city is a hollowed out shell but the region itself is a pretty scarce property market of late with rapidly rising prices.
The jobs usually leave AFTER crime is not controlled.
Not enough jobs then
I lived in Kingston NY back in 2000 and drove through Newburgh. It was pretty grim looking back then. Can't imagine how bad it is now.
Yet, across the river in Fort Erie, vacant lots are selling for $200K+.
Every time I cross the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls I'm shocked at the comparison between the glitzy west side to the destitute eastern side.
Say what you want born in this city and il die in this city no place id rather be
What is the building at the 15:11 mark? It looks like an asylum.
Former Buffalo Psychiatric Hospital. It's a Kirkbride designed asylum.
It was! The middle and first wing on either side is now an upscale hotel, the rest are either being renovated or just abandoned.
@@ethanmcdonald7840 I thought the Hotel went bankrupt and closed.
do you really have to ask ? if you don't know just turn on a tv
Where are all the people
Looks like Everyone quit caring.........
Let’s not fool ourselves shall we. We know what happened don’t we?
It is so sad to see what has happened to this once beautiful city.
The signs of a strong economy
Omg!! It looks depressing and abandoned.
The life's and stories those old buildings must have 😔
What is the name of that big complex of red brick buildings? And why does it look abandoned ?
Perry Street projects, owned by the state.
Looks alot like Southwest Detroit
You should visit Hamilton and London Ontario as well.
Wow. 😮… 😢… sad to see this. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting video. I lived there for 15 years and would take drives like this. I could never figure out the city. Looking rough..? this implies that this is something recent ..has been this way for years..no decades. But, there are bright spots in Buffalo. Elmwood is looking great, and at least there isn't an empty tower at the end of main st. In NYC presently, but actually looking to perhaps get an apt up there to live maybe 4-5 months out of the year. Summers in the Buffalo area are lovely. (Note: Take a drive around Salamanca one day.)
Looks the same as when I left in june 1996 just went back home feb 2024.. its a shame 😏
Coming to a city near you
Second largest city in New York State.
Still
I live outside the 716... i grew up here and wow.. it's very sad. Thanks for showing the other half of this city. I hope someday there's industry
Thanks for watching!
No jobs, no families, no economy, simple
God what a depressing looking place. It makes me sad to see some of those beautiful structures just empty and slowly decaying.
Buffalo really is a cool city still- these sites and sights not withstanding. This was the Queen City of the whole great lakes region, second only to Chicago. To this day, this city still has the most diverse array of architecture styles of any city, and even the old crumbling stuff is still present and spared because this city fell fast and hard right before urban renewal projects really became popular. It was the closing of steel mills, and also the opening of the Welland canal in Canada and the St Lawrence Seaway that directed ship traffic away that this Erie canal gateway city began to dwindle. Still a great town though
Ain’t that America for you and me. Ain’t that America, it’s something to see 🎶
Sad
Even the trees look creepy
It's like a zombie apocalypse took place there.
Buffalo, New York has been like this for 30yrs
Forget Gotham this the worse gloom over a city I’ve seen
Guess nobody's shuffling off to Buffalo any more...
You are a little late that's been like that been like that before 1995.
Buffalo is also cold as heck. People do move to warmer places.
Judging by the old decayed churches, this city was built for humans, and the humans evacuated it for some reason ,,,, Hmmm, let me think, what could it be ??
Even Mr. Beeper and Promo the robot left town!
I lived there from 1996-2019. During that time nothing changed there except the amount of snow
Hope you had a chance to stop at Paula’s donuts and get some! Much love for Buffalo NY❤
I was born and raised in Buffalo back in the 70s, I moved away in the mid 90's and to see it like this now almost brings me to tears 😢 So sad...
Buffalo 66 with Vincent Gallo is a fantastic little movie taking place here.
Beautiful buildings.
Housing shortage in Toronto Ontario..
