CRIME and POVERTY In South Rural Florida | Pahokee
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 07. 2024
- Pahokee, Florida, is where we are for this video. The city lies right along the southeastern shores of the all mighty Lake Okeechobee. From here it’s about a 45 minute drive east to get to West Palm Beach, and about a 15 minute drive south to get to Pahokee’s sibling of Belle Glade. Pahokee is the third and final video of the three cities of the Glades that I filmed while I was down here, and life in Pahokee is much like what life is like in both Belle Glade and South Bay.

I grew up at the southern edge of the Everglades but I also spent plenty of time in the Lake Okeechobee area, fishing and partying. Had some great times. I can't vouch for Florida now as I moved out in 2001. I go back to visit around once a year and a lot has changed. Mostly a LOT of new development.
Not in Pahokee!
The excellent narration speaks of isolation, poverty, depopulation, crime and probabale lack of future potential. The video shows all this unequivocally. A perfect place to put an even more isolated seperate community that you have to see and hear about to believe. I have never been here but I have been to areas very near this on multiple occasions. The excellent technical work really makes one feel they are actually there from the color and brightness of the sky, tropical foliage and architectural details to name a few. As is most often the case it is not one thing but a constellation of things that matter. I see nobody better at this than Chris.
I enjoyed this video. 😊❤
Poverty in both places is unreal yet 45 minutes east is abundant wealth. The very stark difference between two opposite sides of palm beach county is shocking.
I've been following you since your review on Dolton IL, which I live near by. Great coverage. I was wonder if you will be doing a review on Lehigh Acres, FL, I was planing to move there until the cost of living in Florada sky rocketed. Thanks for all your videos and keep up the good coverage.
Maybe one day. My audience doesn’t really dig Florida videos. Hard to justify making more trips down there to film videos if most ppl won’t watch.
I do go to Florida occasionally so whenever I’m down there I’ll likely film at least a few videos per trip.
Great job! An excellent video.
I remember that Belle Glade had the highest AIDS rate in the country during the 80’s. Although he’d be unknown to most these days, country singer Mel Tillis is also from the area.
Great analysasion
An interesting place. Human life brings so many interesting facets to what one would think would think be just like home but maybe different weather or plants and animals. You have one of the most in-depth dives into these individual communities in your mini series compared to some “big name” CZcamsrs. I have never not been educated by you and I appreciate every video.
Appreciate the kind words!
HI, I am an American that lives in the UK. A lot towns are dying here like the towns in the midwest and other parts that are shown on this channel. Also crime and poverty is rising here like parts of the US.
What brought you to the UK?
Personal circumstances. I was born in England and had an American mother. I've lived in both places. There's a lot of towns here. Especially up north that are dying with the crime rates going up.
I've lived in both countries throughout my life so far. I was born in England. But I moved to live in New York when I was 4 years old.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Its actually not that bad long as you mind your business i just recently moved here from Miami got a beautiful home been here a year
Fair enough
sounds perfect...
I wish there was SOMEPLACE in the world where us poor people could live in peace without the crime and decay. There ARE actually some of us who would like some sort of quality of life and respect the places we live.
I’m surprised he found 20 minutes worth of footage driving around pahokee
Have a really "Off The Wall" question.
Being so close to the water table, how does the sewer system work??? Sorry for the strange question but was just curious how they get the FALL for the main sewer lateral.
Hahaha not a clue
@@ChrisHarden Sorry for such a "personal" question..... lol
Miracle Village. A miracle it hasn't been wiped out.
This Hilljack town is famous for being the subject of the county music song 'I'm Just An Okie Dokie From Pahokee' by Jonny Cash
Oh yes, one of his more well known songs
Mentions a video about South bay but I can't find it posted on the channel. Must have decided to post this one first.
It’ll be back up in a few weeks my apologies
👍🏻
@2:40 Florida had a freshwater lake bigger than Lake Superior??? I find that hard to believe!!!
He said entirely in the US. Lake Superior is in both the US and Canada.
South Chi subs is where the views are at
Yup
Looks like parts of Los Angeles.
Dont move here
I won’t trust me. It’s a fine place to go on vacation but not a good place too live. Way too many people. In the next twenty years, that place will be just as crowded as Southern California. Growth isn’t a bad thing, but an unhealthy amounts of growth will cause serious problems with transportation issues and unaffordable housing. People need to learn from Californias mistakes. And it doesn’t matter who you vote for. The more housing shortages and running out of room to grow, will cause housing and places that will be just as unaffordable as San Francisco and LA. I’ll just stay here in Ohio where the cost of living is lower and where investors here or not buying our properties like hotcakes like they are in Florida. And that’s actually one of the main problems as well.
I would not live in Florida.I have a brother in Cocoa Beach.
Thanks.
Poverty in the UK is increasing like in the US due to industry dying and a higher cost of living.
I wonder if there are Catholic Priests in miracle village.
Lol
I was wondering do they sell alligators 🐊 or crocodiles 🐊 shoes 👞 or handbags 👜 in those stores in town 😮😮😊😊
Alligator is one the most expensive types of leather. The luxury leather is mostly shipped and tanned in France. Items made from the hides run into the thousands. Just because there are alligators in Florida, it doesn't make the finished goods cheaper than anywhere else.
I live close by, the whole area is nothing less than a improvised nasty shit hole
Labelle is the fanciest of the Everglades towns. It's a shame that there are so many African descendants in Pahokee as if there was a better group of people it would be a far better experience. Florida City is no better but 10 times more expensive.
Clewiston, Arcadia, and Immokalee are all like this.
Florida isnt that perfect
Once you get past the large cities, Florida is depressing.
@@avgjoeavglifethe large overdeveloped cities is what’s depressing to me.
@@Crymeariver227 Oh, yeah...
This is what a Republican utopia looks like, who knew 😂😂😂😂
Show any slum in US . Will show a Dem's administration...😅
You mean like Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, the Bronx, or were you referring to the 200,000 who live on the streets in LA?
@@Automedon2 Yes..so right...!!
Florida is a terrible state, with the political leadership being horrible.
California takes the #1 position for that.
@daleupthegrove6396 No...Florida is pretty much KKK antiGov Goons still yelling 'The South Will Rise Again' Confederacy bs. 😂
You should definitely stay away
@@markpeto3232 So should a lot of people, to avoid Florida's idiots.
Oh do tell what fantasyland of good political leadership you live in!!
Reupload? Nothing wrong with that just wanna make sure I’m not crazy lol
Haha yup this was a reupload
