Many of my subscribers have been posting requests and sending private messages asking for me to go and do videos in certain places out west especially lately, including the Los Angeles area, Oakland, Texas cities such as Dallas, and Houston. Also many more southeast cities, Miami, Birmingham also St Louis, Boston, New Orleans, and many others. This as you know is very expensive. I will eventually go to these places, if you would like to see this happen sooner rather than later, please make a donation to through Paypal donation I have set up with a debit or credit card, no matter how big or small. Thank you all for watching and subscribing. www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=Y8EV4MERM4MTE&lc=US&item_ name=CharlieBo313¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted
I usually donate to your gofundme. Its easier for me to leave you messages and ideas for places and interviews there. Last week I left you a spot you might be able to interview some Bloods when it warms up. I got another few spots I'm gonna tell you about tomorrow.
CharlieBo313 Sent you a small paypal donation my man. Not much. All I could do at moment with 2 kids and 1 at Syracuse. Will be sending you more when I can. Shit with all that driving n stuff u do, the least we can do is help a little even if it gets some gas in ya tank or buys ya some food while youre on the road. This one if my favorite channels. Hope to see you in Boston one of these days Charlie!
Wow my family has owned property in the lower 9th for over 100 years. You past the corner sweet shop were my grandparents met over 80 years ago. Thanks for taking the drive & the posting.
Bit, you must,never come out of your house, or you must leave somewhere in, the caribbean. They are always there in the winter time. Even us look like depressed trees in winter.
I lived in New Orleans for five years. Worked on Tchoupitoulas Street and on my way to work one morning drove past a pothole so big someone had put a washing machine or fridge in it. This was the top end by childrens hospital. To this day I wonder if they took the appliance out before filling the hole. I have since returned home to New Zealand and when Kiwis complain about the roads here I think of that damn pothole. Lol.
Yep. I drove through Louisiana twice, stayed in a hotel a couple nights on the 1st trip. The _interstate_ freeways had more potholes than I've ever seen in an interstate in any other part of CONUS I've gone or lived in so far...& I live in Florida now, lived in California & Nevada for a few years, & traveled through much of the South & Midwest & parts of the Northeast. Let that sink in (no pun intended).
My car was actually stolen here & recovered in the Fisher Projects 3 days later. Luckily, it was still driveable & hadn't been torn apart. This was several years before Katrina hit, & these projects hardcore at that time. What was I doing there? Going to buy some weed. Lmao!
There's a million and one of them. Stupid idiots go to the 'hood' to buy drugs and think it's hip and daring to go into 'that' world. Sometimes it works out and everyone comes out alive and with the drugs. While other times, there's a breakout of violence and robberyand someone gets it. No drugs, money stolen, a life lost.
@@brucemarsico6 sometimes that is where the drugs are bro...nobody is going there to be cool. usually, it is a last resort if you can't get anything from your friends.
@@hankscorpion Such wise thinking, Hank. But why would you need drugs? Putting your life in the hands of some of the most violent dealers in the city. Isn't the better part of the city enough to entertain you? I've visited New Orleans at least one hundred times in my short life and I've never felt compelled to 'drop in' the Ninth Ward for drugs or any other reason. Being 'hip' and 'cool' won't save you from a gunshot wound to the head. It's your life though....party down dog!
deadmanw@lk1ng Quit the drivel! Some people are great, the world over; some, not. What is required is for people at the lowest economic levels to uplift themselves, block by block. Include all those moneymaking Christian churches, too. You all expect too much from others. Best lesson you can learn: do for yourself first. Expect no outside help. If you have money, save as much as you can, learn to make that grow. Go natural, forego drugs and alcohol, adopt high behavioral standards, be responsible for yourself and your family, be independent. Any other way, you will fail, guaranteed. Who wants to be burdened down with you? You better figure this out fast. Look in the mirror. You are the main reason for your sorry life. GOD ain’t coming back for you. You do not deserve special treatment. HOPE resides in you! Get it?
You can bet the situation was like that pre-Katrina. All over the South, many predominately non-white and some white communities bear the same scars of neglect. Politicians are responsible for some community deterioration, some, the inhabitants' with their poor value systems and some, inadequate skilled labor workforce. Until these neighborhoods establish their own economic infrastructure, they will continue to suffer. Nobody is going to fix your community for you but you. If someone else fixes it for you, you are unlikely to take care of the product. Let that sink in for a minute and get busy improving your quarter acre lot. Hopefully, your neighbor will copy your efforts and so on, until the whole community is upgraded. Then, maybe the politicians will help with street upgrades. Hope comes from within!
Hi I'm from New Orleans! I recognized some landmarks and important avenues. These video clips weren't only from the Lower Ninth Ward. A lot are also from the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Upper Ninth Wards, and also the Marigny. But man, some of these streets and areas are worse than Detroit's! 😳 😮
I lived in a pink house till I was 4. There was a dealer across the street and the buildings were like civil war old. When I asked my parents about it they said it was one of the best neighborhoods in our State (we lived in Rhode island so idk how "good" it supposedly was) we moved out and I haven't seen the place sense. Idk what it's like now.
My guess is less uber-desirable locale rental properties held by near or actual slumlords, after the old paint has chipped off from 60 years of sun, rain and neglect, is most likely replaced with the cheapest bulk buy paint the landlord's maintenance lackeys can find at a wholesale/warehouse hardware store. *"Hey, these 500 gallons of 1960's carnation pink paint were never picked up by the 'Porky Pig Tribute Park'-people, $100 bucks and it's YOURS.."*
Most of the video is not in the 9. You’re in the 8th Ward. U started the video on Galvez and Elysian Fields Ave by the green store. That’s the 8th ward. U don’t hit the 9th Ward til u go down Galvez and go over the bridge. That’s the upper 9th ward. Then u go over another bridge into the lower 9.
I wasn't being specific because i'm not from there I was just mentioning that neighborhood in the title because it was featured in the video and was famous for being flooded by Hurricane Katrina. I knew i was there because I asked that woman I gave change to.
HONESTO UNO the 9th Ward is known for sure as being 1 of the toughest areas in the city. Theres been a lot of progress going on. But there are other areas nowadays that’s way worst than the 9th Ward. The city in general is very bad right now. I still live here as we speak so I see how much worst it’s getting everyday
It looks like neighborhoods that fell on hard times. The architecture is very unique & beautiful in many of these homes. I can see it as nice as it once was with some work. Great video. Love, love Unique & beautiful New Orleans!!!
When i first heard about new Orleans,I cried....i was born and raised in Florida.everybody asking me am I from new Orleans?I said no.i know what the struggle is and it get to me to see other people struggle.
Ikr they be doing us down bad.. we flood support at all !!! 😒 mfs disgusting asf and then mayor centrell transplant asś wanna be from New Orleans so bad … 🤣
rbcrip504 absolutely the culture the slang / accent , voodoo was home to 2 of the biggest rap labels of all time at 1 point, the greatest rapper of all time maybe in lil Wayne. New Orleans one of the most interesting cities, and they go buy wards 17 of em and the state still goes by parishes. Mardi Gras, the way they celebrate death 2nd lines, Nd it’s a jazz city as well and the ppl are still connected to bounce music. The 504 is truly a unique city
Well, this is the upper 9th ward, you need to cross the bridge over the canal to be in the lower 9. Nice vid of the northern reaches of Bywater, however.
Well dang that was depressing. I know it's winter but, where are all the trees? Where are the stores? As a lifelong californian I'd probably fall into depression living there it's so dark and desolate. I'm thankful for these videos though, I used to complain about California but man it's a lot more green and nicer on the eyes than a lot of these places. I mean the ghetto parts suck but at least they have trees.
rechelieu tartempion - Ummm I wasn't exactly criticizing the city itself I was moreso talking about the lack of greenery and vegetation which is a result of the geographical placement, terrain, and climate of Louisiana, not anything the Africans created or didn't create. I understand there are less stores because it's a more rural area towards the outskirts.
Hersheys B - Well just about anywhere is more humid than California. I live here. We might be "dry" compared to other parts of the country but our humidity levels are actually pretty normal. The heat feels very dry, but I'd rather take that than humid heat. When I went to New York in the summer, I took a shower stepped outside and immediately felt dirty. My skin became sticky literally upon walking outside, right after taking a fresh shower! I know it's just moisture but my skin feels sticky and dirty every time I go to the east coast. It's amazing how different it feels in different states.
Louisiana is sinking and no amount of asphalt will hold up. The richest areas in New Orleans have the same roads and worse. The next Katrina may be the end. Just like the west coast with fires, flooding landslides and earthquakes. Move away. Earth constantly evolves and moves on and there is no stopping Mother Nature and the evolution for said Earth.
This actually looks a lot better than what I thought it would, figured it would look like Detroit where almost all the lots on a block are empty and the few houses standing are burned, condemned/abandoned and falling in on themselves. Figured after the hurricane a lot of people never moved back and expected to see way more vacant lots/abandoned houses. Looks like most of those were being lived in judging by cars parked in front of them. Also you can see some of these houses have been raised up 4 or 5 feet off the ground because of the hurricane.
Most ppl who live ina hood are not deapressed i’d rather live ina neighborhood like this n get my money up then a rich fake neighborhood n specially if u know ppl around it’s nothing
DrugRixh 1.5 naw this is New Orleans we’re depressed you see Katrina is still showing and that happened in 2005 soon all the native blacks will be gone and whites will just build over this and make it non affordable plus our schools promote going to prison cause they gave up on us
frozen house who cares if a car there or not if someone wanna break in it doesn’t matter a thief is a thief ⚜️one robbers knows your schedule⚜️some stake out⚜️what is you need is god and rebuke the fear⚜️a garage for safety of the car or storage not protection for you✝️its a mind thing go check it someone maybe in there😂😂😂😂
So poor people shouldn't own a nice car! 😢There are hard working middle class people in this neighborhood. Some of the houses a beautiful! And some of them that look terrible on the outside can look so warm and inviting on the inside because they are filled with love
Millions ? YOu wouldnt by any chance be a white guy with a SUPERIORITY COMPLEX, now would you ? Like the kind of idiot that watches Maury Povich, just to make fun of '''dumb blacks""? I suspect you are, Pinky.
Actually, these homes aren't all that bad. Matter of fact, were the community to simply pool some funds to hire the locals to paint houses and do a little yard work, this could be reminiscent of some college towns I've driven through.
My cousins live in the white one story house at 9:23 and the neighborhood is actually pretty safe for the most part. Crazy shit happens every once in a while but its chill usually
@@freeralo6787 Thank you for your question. I live 84 miles from Kiyv in a small town where the southern bypass road is not finished. As a result, heavyweights have to drive directly through the geographical center here. In addition, in our country there are problems with overloaded trucks that destroy both old and new roads. Roads in Kiyv are good, at least for the last 5 years.
god boy That’s interesting, thanks for the insight. One of the rare things we do well in the US are weight inspections, where heavy trucks are required to weighed as they cross from state to state. If they are overweight, they may not be allowed to continue. In small towns with poor infrastructure, heavy trucks would be prohibited. It sounds like these policies would be useful in Ukraine, but only if corruption could not undermine the process
This is the government at its best not doing anything for this district that these people pay taxes for..The streets condition tell it all for me..🤦🏾♂️🤔😡
I was in NOLA looking for a place to stay with the now ex wife back after Katrina. We were there for the rebuilding effort. She was already unimpressed; prices were 3x what were were used to for half as much. However, I could tell we were NOT moving there once I drove her through the lower 9th ward.
Jarret Mcknight .....Jarret, the question from h2o was a joke.....like trying to say that anywhere in US in poor neighborhoods like that, black people name a street after Mr. King.
i'm not sure how anyone that can afford a house can live without fear in places like these. all of these homes so close together, theyre just asking to be robbed. i live in rural mountains and still lock my doors every night. people are strange.
Every since the storm, its's seems like the city has not provided the proper funding, and tools to help the areas that were heavily destroyed to recover. New Orleans to me seems more like a northern city meaning some of areas will have a lot of older structures that many people may think it's a bad area but it's not. It's just age of the structures that may give a particular section or part of town the feel and look that it's unsafe(sometimes). Its one of the only cities in the US that has its own culture, such as in food, the dialect, music. To add, Louis Armstrong park was nice that highlighted the greats from NO such as Louis Armstrong, and Mahalia Jackson to name a few and also the history of Congo square. Hopefully the residents can put pressure on their local council representative to bring attention to the areas that have been neglected if they already have.
@Mara L that's not full name its short for something else. Why are people usually named Mara are dirty blond white ladies that drink alot and chain smoke and pop perks all day?
I’ve been through some of the worst, most dangerous neighborhoods in the US (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland). But this...this is just freaking sad as hell.
The truth is that because I live in Greece I do not have a picture of what is happening in the US, but it makes me think that in so many poor neighborhoods I see some very expensive cars parked
world peace97 you never heard of a shotgun house before? Yea it's 1 level and it's really long and thin. They have no rooms side by side all the rooms are behind the one in front. Google shotgun house in Google images. It's a mainly a southern thing. Niagara Falls NY had a few sprinkled here and there but they are mostly found in New Orleans.
Hi All, At about 6:50, he crosses an intersection, and you can see two rails from an old railroad, probably a trolley car. Imagine this neighborhood a hundred years ago, enough people to make a trolley car function. those houses full of kids. Thanks for your time, take care.
It looks much better, though, than in 2011, when I rode through. There was almost nobody there living, you still saw boats turned over from Katrina on the side of the streets. So actually nice to see recovery, which is probably over now due to Covid
I’m sure there aren’t many people on the street because they’re all inside studying advanced mathematics, reading classic literature, writing computer code or running an electronics repair business. Perhaps they’re watching Face the Nation, learning a foreign language or updating their lifestyle blog? I’m sure most are the busy doing something both personally constructive and enriching.
This is straight up ghetto but it's not even the worst part of New Orleans. Think on that . The Lower Ninth borders Desire and Florida which are even worst.
I live in new orleans and this video do not show what New orleans is. Yes the houses are wragley and the streets are destroyed but the people her are amazing. Don't let this video fool u. You would love it here.
My hubby lived and worked near Jackson Square for 35+ years, near the Quarter prior to Katrina in 2005. He came to NYC, and we met, became friends and married in 2008. Now that caregiving for my elderly mom is complete (she passed away peacefully at 95, in 2017), we will be moving back to NOLA. I cannot wait. Our downtown NY nabe is now over run by superficial know-it-all preppies; no one cares about anything but making money for themselves, shopping online, creating momentary...short term connections. The funk, the history, and the juice which I remember when I first moved here in 1975? Gone..with freaking the wind..at least New Orleans is still rebuilding, and we can roll up our sleeves, and be an active part of that. Looking forward to a place where there are areas that are coming back, not turning rich, snotty and exclusive.
"Our downtown NY nabe is now over run by superficial know-it-all preppies ..." Perhaps; still, you probably don't have to worry about *them* sticking a gun in your face to rob you, nor about them blowing your brains out if you resist.
The Bourbon Street vibe extends to this part of the city, as seen in the color choice of the houses, which by the way, have that kind of pre-fab look. I like the lavender house at 7:07. Charlie, you got to clean your windshield, man. For a moment there I thought the low clouds WERE REALLY LOW.
Bitch please. Like Houston was some paradise before Katrina. New Orleans has nearly 90%+ of its pre-storm population so how in the hell are all these supposed New Orleans people still impacting Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Oklahoma City (really bitch? people from Oklahoma don’t wanna live in Oklahoma) in 2018?? The numbers don’t add up.
It's dirt poor for a country boasting to be the richest. Except for very remote places, there is nothing even coming close, in Europe, West and East. Whole sections of the USA are slowly turning Third-world, minus fancy cars.
I don't think that we should ever forget that these people are humans and it's not about the color this is why every CD that sells I will take $5 and donate to low parity I hope one day being a millionaire because I always dream of helping
I dream about that too! I can barely get by but I try to feed some neighbors a few times every week that don't have much and I fed the alley cats. Just stopping to chat with the old, sick and lonely can make a huge difference in someone's day. It makes me sad that I don't have the money to open homeless shelters and day programs for the mentally I'll and elderly open an animal rescue farm. 😢 so many people with money; hold onto it when they could spend it to help others and still invest to keep that money grow.
Where I'm from, if you own the property and there is trash, junk etc. The city will fine you and especially if the city come out and clean it up they will fine you and add it to your taxes, and if you still don't pay the fine they will take your property.

I HATE New Orleans.It's so OLD, WEIRD, and DIRTY.I'll take Atlanta or Nashville ANYDAY over that FREAKSHOW of a city.
I love taking rides with you my dude!!!
Yep, I've been there many times. Looked pretty much like this before Katrina too.
If I had big money I will help out,that's coming from my heart.this really getting to me because I know what struggling is.
Eww this is depressing to watch, but thank you for your effort and work and time you took to show us.
Thank you for this video of New Orleans. I alway wonder what was going on in the lower ward after the devastion of the flood. Again thank you!
They still have pretty decent houses in the ward.
seem like mostly what i see
Wize One some of those weren’t bad
Wait till the next hurricane!
Ikr! It's all in how u keep up your property;
My God the roads! One would tear up their vehicle traveling these roads.
It's a old city
They obviously haven’t been to Connecticut
They make Michigan roads look good.
@@paigesknnr Where in Connecticut?
CHARLIE , DID YOU RUN A STOP LIGHT? I THINK YOU DID!!
You don't stop in those parts of town its a city thing
he ran it at 5:15
He knows there ain't be no fuzz in the 9th!
I believe whenever you purchase a vehicle here it comes equipped with paddles and a life jackets.
Wow ! And a Hummer, a Nissan, a Mini Countryman .... nice cars !
This place looks full of history
Well, this is the upper 9th ward, you need to cross the bridge over the canal to be in the lower 9. Nice vid of the northern reaches of Bywater, however.
Well dang that was depressing. I know it's winter but, where are all the trees? Where are the stores? As a lifelong californian I'd probably fall into depression living there it's so dark and desolate. I'm thankful for these videos though, I used to complain about California but man it's a lot more green and nicer on the eyes than a lot of these places. I mean the ghetto parts suck but at least they have trees.
Hey don't criticize this type of place cause they all are the REAL Wakanda created by real african ! :)
Believe it or not the south is more green and humid than dry ass California
richelieu tartempion plus day got kangs and shieet!
rechelieu tartempion - Ummm I wasn't exactly criticizing the city itself I was moreso talking about the lack of greenery and vegetation which is a result of the geographical placement, terrain, and climate of Louisiana, not anything the Africans created or didn't create. I understand there are less stores because it's a more rural area towards the outskirts.
Hersheys B - Well just about anywhere is more humid than California. I live here. We might be "dry" compared to other parts of the country but our humidity levels are actually pretty normal. The heat feels very dry, but I'd rather take that than humid heat. When I went to New York in the summer, I took a shower stepped outside and immediately felt dirty. My skin became sticky literally upon walking outside, right after taking a fresh shower! I know it's just moisture but my skin feels sticky and dirty every time I go to the east coast. It's amazing how different it feels in different states.
Japan has a tsunami and is put back together already. This video is Democratic Rule and black dysfunction .
The roads are so bad
John Doe About as much as bush and Obama I'd say
Lack of a tax base will do that over the years
Its Louisiana home of some of the worst roads.
better if they scrap them roads and build the wall with em
Louisiana is sinking and no amount of asphalt will hold up. The richest areas in New Orleans have the same roads and worse. The next Katrina may be the end. Just like the west coast with fires, flooding landslides and earthquakes. Move away. Earth constantly evolves and moves on and there is no stopping Mother Nature and the evolution for said Earth.
The majority of this is the 8th ward and New Orleans has looked like this and worse before Katrina
This actually looks a lot better than what I thought it would, figured it would look like Detroit where almost all the lots on a block are empty and the few houses standing are burned, condemned/abandoned and falling in on themselves. Figured after the hurricane a lot of people never moved back and expected to see way more vacant lots/abandoned houses. Looks like most of those were being lived in judging by cars parked in front of them. Also you can see some of these houses have been raised up 4 or 5 feet off the ground because of the hurricane.
How do people live in these conditions? Like I know times are hard but I would be extremely depressed.
Its Sharlele I totally agree!
I wouldn’t if u kno ppl in there area just gotta adapt if u from da hood
We are depressed you must not hear the new stories
Most ppl who live ina hood are not deapressed i’d rather live ina neighborhood like this n get my money up then a rich fake neighborhood n specially if u know ppl around it’s nothing
DrugRixh 1.5 naw this is New Orleans we’re depressed you see Katrina is still showing and that happened in 2005 soon all the native blacks will be gone and whites will just build over this and make it non affordable plus our schools promote going to prison cause they gave up on us
I would hate to live in a house that doesn't have a garage,I don't like people knowing if I'm home or not because they see or don't see my car
From what I understand a carport is nothing more than a driveway with a covering?
actually public transportation was the bomb in nola .most people that live in the 9 don't need cars or if they did , they don't use them everyday.
frozen house ...frozen if you dont have a car it is ok....people will know if you are home or not anyway....when they come to rob you.
frozen house who cares if a car there or not if someone wanna break in it doesn’t matter a thief is a thief ⚜️one robbers knows your schedule⚜️some stake out⚜️what is you need is god and rebuke the fear⚜️a garage for safety of the car or storage not protection for you✝️its a mind thing go check it someone maybe in there😂😂😂😂
You are spoiled
I bet you couldn’t ride around like this in the old New Orleans💯it was a war zone everywhere
That's Alot Of Cities Back In The Days. Im From Little Rock. They Legit Color Banged Up Until Probably 04' 06'.
Nigga we don’t color bang doee
thatboike louisiana u can’t do it now goto the east past 7
Millions of dollars worth of shiny new cars, though.
CARS cost more than their houses.
Not owned financed
Millions of dollars? Those cars really aren't that expensive. Nothing all that fancy. Maybe you are easily impressed
So poor people shouldn't own a nice car! 😢There are hard working middle class people in this neighborhood. Some of the houses a beautiful! And some of them that look terrible on the outside can look so warm and inviting on the inside because they are filled with love
Millions ? YOu wouldnt by any chance be a white guy with a SUPERIORITY COMPLEX, now would you ? Like the kind of idiot that watches Maury Povich, just to make fun of '''dumb blacks""? I suspect you are, Pinky.
Miss home 😢 This looks like after Katrina. Wish you could go to my area, Algiers. Thanks anyway for posting hun. 🌹
A poor hood with big old houses......very clean place. I have seen worst places all over the US. Two hands for nola.....well done.
Damn Charlie u gonna need a 4x4
And a hazmat suit, all that standing water, I bet that place is crawling with disease.
Armored personnel carrier.
Time warp! Some dude using a pay phone!
Actually, these homes aren't all that bad. Matter of fact, were the community to simply pool some funds to hire
the locals to paint houses and do a little yard work, this could be reminiscent of some college towns I've driven through.
My cousins live in the white one story house at 9:23 and the neighborhood is actually pretty safe for the most part. Crazy shit happens every once in a while but its chill usually
Didn't Mayor Nagin want a chocolate City? Welcome to the Democratic Plantation!
Poo ON YOU!
get back into your nasty shithole hovel under the bridge u stupid fuckin troll piece of shit LOL
john doe you must be a dumbass racist, just like yo boy in prison, Nagin.
- Lives in a trailer park, on a republican plantation
7:22 This so similar to a typical Ukrainian street.
god boy In which part of Ukraine are the roads this bad? Are the roads OK in Kiev at least?
@@freeralo6787 Thank you for your question. I live 84 miles from Kiyv in a small town where the southern bypass road is not finished. As a result, heavyweights have to drive directly through the geographical center here. In addition, in our country there are problems with overloaded trucks that destroy both old and new roads. Roads in Kiyv are good, at least for the last 5 years.
god boy That’s interesting, thanks for the insight. One of the rare things we do well in the US are weight inspections, where heavy trucks are required to weighed as they cross from state to state. If they are overweight, they may not be allowed to continue. In small towns with poor infrastructure, heavy trucks would be prohibited. It sounds like these policies would be useful in Ukraine, but only if corruption could not undermine the process
Yeah, the same thought) but roads in Russia are worse than this)
This is the government at its best not doing anything for this district that these people pay taxes for..The streets condition tell it all for me..🤦🏾♂️🤔😡
the old sofa dumped in the front garden really brings out the colors of the Chrysanthemums don't you think ?
I was in NOLA looking for a place to stay with the now ex wife back after Katrina. We were there for the rebuilding effort. She was already unimpressed; prices were 3x what were were used to for half as much. However, I could tell we were NOT moving there once I drove her through the lower 9th ward.
YOU NEVER ACTUALLY MADE IT INTO DA "LOWER" 9TH WARD.. KOOL VIDEO THO..
@Tammy Fletcher What's that supposed to mean??
@Tammy Fletcher So.. You seen actually aliens in that video??
@Tammy Fletcher You are a piece of shyt..
This beats the homeless, the feces and needles on the streets in LA!
Not even close. People are living in houses with water, electricity, and everything.
Not by much!
No shit, no needles, some uncollected trash, don't make it beat LA.
L.A. is way worse have you seen skid row at least people here live in houses as oppose in fucking tents like L.A. residents7
young nigga ITS JUST SKID ROW NOT ALL OF LA ALSO LA GOT MORE PEOPLE
Looks like every hood. Is this close to a street named after Martin Luther King Jr.?
No, that's uptown this is downtown. Mostly the 8th ward
Jarret Mcknight .....Jarret, the question from h2o was a joke.....like trying to say that anywhere in US in poor neighborhoods like that, black people name a street after Mr. King.
Lol....unfortunately there is indeed truth to that.
It's near a street called, 'Small Dicked White Guy Makes Dumb Comment Street.''
slim ....slim, it must be. It is funny.....you make me laugh.
i'm not sure how anyone that can afford a house can live without fear in places like these. all of these homes so close together, theyre just asking to be robbed. i live in rural mountains and still lock my doors every night. people are strange.
Every since the storm, its's seems like the city has not provided the proper funding, and tools to help the areas that were heavily destroyed to recover. New Orleans to me seems more like a northern city meaning some of areas will have a lot of older structures that many people may think it's a bad area but it's not. It's just age of the structures that may give a particular section or part of town the feel and look that it's unsafe(sometimes). Its one of the only cities in the US that has its own culture, such as in food, the dialect, music. To add, Louis Armstrong park was nice that highlighted the greats from NO such as Louis Armstrong, and Mahalia Jackson to name a few and also the history of Congo square. Hopefully the residents can put pressure on their local council representative to bring attention to the areas that have been neglected if they already have.
Founded in 1718 named of Duke of Orleans.
I will say a prayer for new Orleans.
Me to
Your bmore drive throughs are still my favorite and craziest.
I love New Orleans. Proud to call it home.
U MUST BE CRAZY...........
ME TOO LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, NO PLACE LIKE HOME
@Mara L that's not full name its short for something else. Why are people usually named Mara are dirty blond white ladies that drink alot and chain smoke and pop perks all day?
@Mara L well clearly something is wrong with you. Change your crowd you pathological idiot.
New Orleans is a nasty dump with an even worse culture.
I’ve been through some of the worst, most dangerous neighborhoods in the US (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland). But this...this is just freaking sad as hell.
Milwaukee is just as bad. Milwaukee not safe New Orleans gentrified.
They basing safety off the bad roads and blight.
The truth is that because I live in Greece I do not have a picture of what is happening in the US, but it makes me think that in so many poor neighborhoods I see some very expensive cars parked
If you're still in the NOLA, it'd be dope if you drove through the 3rd Ward. See how the Calliope, Magnolia, and Melph hoods are doing these days.
ThePhrozenPhoenix our country is turning into one big super slu

Kerry Ryder The middle class shrinks. Poverty and homeless grow.
The projects themselves are all torn down.
Government has put zero effort in fixing the roads.
They are broke after paying out all the free rent heating food stamps and welfare money to the residents
@@mickdavis2385 Yeah uh-huh sure that's why they're all so poor because they have so much money
New Orleans got them cool ass shotgun houses
DrFunky4 whatchu mean by shotgun ? Like 1 level?
world peace97 you never heard of a shotgun house before? Yea it's 1 level and it's really long and thin. They have no rooms side by side all the rooms are behind the one in front. Google shotgun house in Google images. It's a mainly a southern thing. Niagara Falls NY had a few sprinkled here and there but they are mostly found in New Orleans.
New Illuminati i mean you could Google it... follow this link, it's floor plans of a shotgun house:
goo.gl/images/jx7Uax
DrFunky4 shotgun houses are found all over the South not just New Orleans.
Robert Preskop that's fair. And true
Hi All, At about 6:50, he crosses an intersection, and you can see two rails from an old railroad, probably a trolley car. Imagine this neighborhood a hundred years ago, enough people to make a trolley car function. those houses full of kids. Thanks for your time, take care.
My momma nem grew up on Tennessee street and my auntie had a house on lizardi and my other auntie stayed on tupelo cross the canal
Wow he finally hit New Orleans...
Спасибо за видео. Много полезного узнаешь о гражданской архитектуре США.
Damn those are the nicest cars I’ve ever seen in a hood lol
Admittedly, it looks shabby but nowhere near as ugly as some parts of London UK, nowadays.
It looks much better, though, than in 2011, when I rode through. There was almost nobody there living, you still saw boats turned over from Katrina on the side of the streets. So actually nice to see recovery, which is probably over now due to Covid
Every kid in Louisiana need to learn the Cajun French, and the creole Language
I m italian i love new orleans and u.s.a
I always liked the old pier and beam houses in Louisiana.
shot gun houses 2!
I’m sure there aren’t many people on the street because they’re all inside studying advanced mathematics, reading classic literature, writing computer code or running an electronics repair business. Perhaps they’re watching Face the Nation, learning a foreign language or updating their lifestyle blog? I’m sure most are the busy doing something both personally constructive and enriching.
This is straight up ghetto but it's not even the worst part of New Orleans. Think on that . The Lower Ninth borders Desire and Florida which are even worst.
I wonder if they are gonna ever rebuild the Six Flags.
Im so happy you give us these little tours so I know not to visit 😂😂 im staying far awayyyy
Come to New Orleans
Its really not that bad.
New Orleans is the shit! Better than a lot of other places he's went
I live in new orleans and this video do not show what New orleans is. Yes the houses are wragley and the streets are destroyed but the people her are amazing. Don't let this video fool u. You would love it here.
Say lady go to carnival that when the nola shine brightest
New Orleans, Louisiana. My city love it
Real af i love my city too i miss my city and my fam i go back at least once a year no city like the nola
New Orleans: The Shit City.
My hubby lived and worked near Jackson Square for 35+ years, near the Quarter prior to Katrina in 2005. He came to NYC, and we met, became friends and married in 2008. Now that caregiving for my elderly mom is complete (she passed away peacefully at 95, in 2017), we will be moving back to NOLA. I cannot wait. Our downtown NY nabe is now over run by superficial know-it-all preppies; no one cares about anything but making money for themselves, shopping online, creating momentary...short term connections. The funk, the history, and the juice which I remember when I first moved here in 1975? Gone..with freaking the wind..at least New Orleans is still rebuilding, and we can roll up our sleeves, and be an active part of that. Looking forward to a place where there are areas that are coming back, not turning rich, snotty and exclusive.
"Our downtown NY nabe is now over run by superficial know-it-all preppies ..."
Perhaps; still, you probably don't have to worry about *them* sticking a gun in your face to rob you, nor about them blowing your brains out if you resist.
The Bourbon Street vibe extends to this part of the city, as seen in the color choice of the houses, which by the way, have that kind of pre-fab look. I like the lavender house at 7:07. Charlie, you got to clean your windshield, man. For a moment there I thought the low clouds WERE REALLY LOW.
I still love that style house. And it definitely is colorful.
Ellen MC - I noticed a lot of colorful places on this one. Pretty.
Ellen MC Very stylish looks like Rome Italy ha ha .
N.O looks like north charleston areas.Only two unique places in usa is charleston and N.O because we got our own dialect.
I sure wish that everybody came to Houston from Katrina would go back home! They changed our whole city when they came here.
Michelle My Belle they did Oklahoma city too
Well it's the government fault for building those worthless levees.
Bitch please. Like Houston was some paradise before Katrina. New Orleans has nearly 90%+ of its pre-storm population so how in the hell are all these supposed New Orleans people still impacting Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Oklahoma City (really bitch? people from Oklahoma don’t wanna live in Oklahoma) in 2018?? The numbers don’t add up.
i believe it.
@@d.jerome4011 now let see, the levies are responsible for the poor behavior of the new Houston citezens?
New Orleans is an old city, those homes are free with out a mortgage it doesn't look that bad.... its not real POVERTY
It's dirt poor for a country boasting to be the richest. Except for very remote places, there is nothing even coming close, in Europe, West and East. Whole sections of the USA are slowly turning Third-world, minus fancy cars.
Looks depressing seriously. I could not imagine living there. I would cry every day if I had to live there.
You would adjust eventually , because that’s what humans do.
I was born and raised in the lower 9th ward. I'll never go back.
Understandable, hope you live in a nicer place now.
Your a nice man and I always enjoy the rides.Thank you for what you do. :) :)
I don't think that we should ever forget that these people are humans and it's not about the color this is why every CD that sells I will take $5 and donate to low parity I hope one day being a millionaire because I always dream of helping
I dream about that too! I can barely get by but I try to feed some neighbors a few times every week that don't have much and I fed the alley cats. Just stopping to chat with the old, sick and lonely can make a huge difference in someone's day. It makes me sad that I don't have the money to open homeless shelters and day programs for the mentally I'll and elderly open an animal rescue farm. 😢 so many people with money; hold onto it when they could spend it to help others and still invest to keep that money grow.
Just Make Sure the needy get it. And no greedy organizations that pretend to help us.
Lived on Congress 4 blocks east of St. Claude in 2009.
Old city, worn out roads, bad infrastructure..what a dump-and residents beautify it with grafitti!
Looks like a 3rd world city
United States have more "3rd World Cities" than Upper Class cities believe it or not...
Its the fault of the PEOPLE! IF they vote, they vote for BAD people everytime.
No it doesn't. This would be a paradise to the slum dwellers in the third world. Doubt you even gone outside of the US.
Until you actually go to a third world country.
John Eagle Imagine live there omg.
Poor, poor, 300ZX @7:18
What's that doing there!?
Shame
I was scrolling the comments looking to see if anyone mentioned it. Looked to be in good shape, too.
THE REAL TRENCHES.
That aint no joke!
Who dey fightin?
@@paulwilliams8555 poverty😂
Where I'm from, if you own the property and there is trash, junk etc. The city will fine you and especially if the city come out and clean it up they will fine you and add it to your taxes, and if you still don't pay the fine they will take your property.
Yep - and when the property is an abandoned home or business, who do they fine???????
Those streets are raggedy as hell,dude's gonna need new shocks and ball joints after this video.
