I hitchhiked into Mexico once as a teenager with my dog Buster. The police stopped me, fed me, gave me a beer and told me to watch out for the bad guys. Later, the bad guys stopped me, fed me, smoked me out then told me to watch out for the cops. I for one will always love Mexico.
Thats the exact art of the story my man, like a poem, how they often switch and try to show how vastly opposite things reflect each other well. It's beautiful. Live you one. @@youtubeuser39
Such an oxymoron! I didn’t see any people nodded out nor looking messed up in Juarez. It’s crazy because the drugs that these zombies are doing come from Mexico.😝 Yet it didn’t look like any of those people (at least) were on any of them. Interesting.✌🏼
My cousin lives in Juarez and I went to his wedding around 2007-2008 (The bad days). I went for a jog at night, found a park with monkey bars to do pull ups and dips, then found a family selling food from their home and stopped for dinner. I wouldn't even do this in my hometown at night (Oakland, CA).
As a kid, my cousin had a house in little Haiti (the most dangerous neighborhood in Florida) I used to go to the playground nothing would happen. I've been out at Philly at night. All the people do is stare you down. Some of them will even say hi. It's just the expression in their face. I guess they feel shame idk. There's a reason why Mexico seems so alive and Philly dead. It has to do with the conditions. Mexico's a third world country and the people of juarez are like the average worker trying to get through and the community works to preserve that motion. If you go to the west side of juarez it's six times worse than the video. Picking up my aunt from that area was like witnessing The walking Dead. Philly the same way. The US has the biggest and richest economy, the lowest unemployment, and the best job market in the world. It's a difference in culture, meanwhile that neighborhood in Juarez consists of people trying to get through life, Philly is just a bunch of unemployed crackheads who won't move an ounce. They have every chance to get better, and they won't. If a Mexican in Mexico had the opportunities than an American had, Juarez would look much different.
All suburban parents who are having issues with their teenagers should take them for a long scenic drive thru Kensington to really remind them what life can become if you like to party and use drugs.
In juarez there's kids running around people chilling outside their own homes. In Philly there's people laid out in front of business like bums and people gathering in front of a liquor store . Huge difference
@@JesseMartinez-cm7tl Juarez is ranked #2 as the most dangerous city in the world. What’s this mess you’re talking about rules? And by the way #1 ain’t too far away over in Tijuana.
Very good observation and point. In Juarez, it appears people are going about their lives despite the danger that surrounds them.; In Philly, it appears the people themselves are the danger.
I knew Juarez would be a scary place, but had the wrong idea about Philadelphia. I've never been there, so I thought this was going to show some great contrast. I'm thankful to live near a small town in Oregon.
I’m from Mexico and obviously Philly and cd Juarez are big cities and both have very bad spots and obviously both have very nice areas and wealthy neighborhoods(I have been in cd. Juarez)
I am half mexican/german and i really like the friendly side of the mexican people. The one girl wanted to wash his windshield but instead of getting angry for being rejected, she Said: I do Not Understand what you just said, but god bless you. I know that México is not so safe in some parts, but the people are very nice, even in a City that is infamous for its high murder rate.
Stop signs - one says “Alto,” and the other, “Stop.” That’s the immediate difference that I saw. Also, Philadelphia seemed to have less dust, more “trash,” somewhat better lighting, more air conditioners - and a certain quality that I can’t put into words, also. That quality corresponds to some places I heard about many years ago that supposedly existed in SoCal, where if you went there, *and weren’t recognized by those who lived there as being one of their own, with a dwelling on site and family living there* - you would be shot on sight. Both seemed to be places I’d stay well clear of. Juarez because of the presence of armed police (I’d be used as a target by them - for *live action target practice* - I feel this way around domestic police as well, mind) and Philadelphia because the whole place looks scary as
I've never lived in any of these cities, but as a Mexican who was born in a border city of Matamoros and lived almost 22 years in America, I personally feel safer in Juarez than Philly and I base that on how people in Juarez act similar to Matamoros: families and friends are out and about just lounging around or going for walks, whatever it may be, everyone just going about their business. Meanwhile in Philly, this looks like any wrong move and you are a dead man, plus drug zombies every other block. That said, Juarez is a cartel hotspot so, I guess they're equally dangerous.
I've had to drive these same streets, and all you think about is god forbid you get a flat. I'll drive that fucker back on the brake rotor before I get out to change it. Never been to Mexico, but it looks cleaner. That said, I would presume its the things you can't see there that makes it really dangerous.
I have visited Juárez many times and ngl, the city is nice if you keep your distance from messy neighborhoods and problems, but it's basically the Detroit of Mexico.
I just read a book where at the end the author listed every Juarez homicide from 2008. each one had name, age, location, cause of death, etc. almost every story was just stuff that would be absolutely shocking and front page news if it happened here. and btw, the crime numbers are barely lower since then
You definitely know how to drive through these areas. Calmly, but not lingering and leaving plenty of space around you, especially when you are forced to stop behind another vehicle. Philadelphia and Los Angeles look nearly identical at night.
La looks NOTHING like Philadelphia. Philadelphia has 1000 homes on 1 block. La has homeless people on the street Philadelphia has drug dealers and murderers on the street
Lacking some concrete and asphalt. But Juarez was well lit! Light poles looked like a lot of them were cement and in great shape overall. Well done city.
@incelvillain1253 structures looked much better in Philly. But there were few if any light poles in dis repair I'm Juarez. They were all straight up and down and looked maintained well. Lots of leaning poles and old wooden ones that are about time to replace in Philly....I suppose I'm not a fan of the burnt orange hue that america uses for lights ots so creepy... Juarez seemed to be using a different bulb. I wasn't saying Philly is worse. I just want to be a civil engineer, so I'm trying to think like one lol.
@@davidandrews5262 Not only were there more light poles in Philly but the stores were more brightly lit as well. Philadelphia and most American cities look better than South American cities. Are there places that are superior to America? Sure. France, China, Finland, Singapore and Japan. But not South America.
I had to walk the streets of Juarez at 4am. I have also been to Baltimore. I was more terrified in Baltimore. I nearly got shot in Baltimore, I almost got all my stuff stolen. Nobody even approached me in Juarez.
Mexican people are super chill and nice. Its the cartels that are the problem but they just don't go after random strangers, they are fighting over territory and money its just sometimes Innocent people get caught in gun fights between rivals. In the USA you might get shot/killed just because somebody is a having a bad day or you cut them off smh.
@@antoniofba667 you're correct, the murder rate of Black men, teens, and women in Baltimore is much higher than White vics. On the other hand, older Black men report on the phenomenon of Black teens riding in cars ... Hunting. Have you heard the term "hitting a lick"? What about the less common term, "hitting a stain"? That could also mean a Black victim but the older Black men said that at a younger time, seeing vulnerable White people felt like a lion seeing a wounded gazelle. Hunting instinct kicks in. Does that answer your questions?
My stepdad was from Ciudad Juárez and when i was about 6 we went there to live with his parents for several months because my stepdad was going to build them a bathroom that was actual connected to their home. all they had was an outhouse. I will never forget when we pulled into their yard. it was dirt roads, mud walls. My mother had an Alice cooper 8 track playing. pretty wild memories. And in just those handfull of months living there i could tell you some wilddd stories.
@@wetdroidedition2549 Those people at the crossing are immigrants from Venezuela and other countries, when she says "a la vueltecita" she means that later you can give her a tip for cleaning the windshield of your car, that is, when you go through that place again.
Except Mexico appeared to have whole families with children on walks in the summer night, so there's that. People were out on walks to cool off from a hot day. Philly looked more like the creatures of the night drug addicts. I would feel safer in Mexico for this reason.
the people have complex ptsd from exposure to stuff since birth. they don't have to "hide" necessarily, they just have to be extremely careful who they talk and associate with. and keep their heads down so to speak
Philly is like a lot of gangs in their corners that only talk a lot but they don't do anything, In Juárez you can't see the narcos hanging out but they have control in all the city and can hunt you very ez.
Lol. Yeah just out for a family stroll through scenic Juarez with squads of riot police milling around looking for cartel warlords. Fun for the whole family.
Attended Army basic training in 1987 at beautiful Fort Bliss in El Paso. A couple weeks into training a recruit from my company decided to visit Juarez at night, with no pass, and in his dress uniform as we had no access to civilian attire. After failing to show for muster the next morning we found out he had been relieved of his clothing and possessions in Juarez and had somehow made it back across the border only to end up in the custody of the Army MPs.
I've lived just outside of Philly for 31 of my 34 years on this earth. Used to love going into the city as a kid, mainly for sporting events and the zoo. In my teens, I'd go there just to walk around. It was not a great place by any means, but it wasn't what it is now. I got a job in the city back in 2014. Even though my company forbade it, I carried my gun with me every single day. The building closed down and moved to New Jersey in 2019. I've been to the city two times since then (once for a job interview, once to see Monster Trucks with my nephew). I'm going back to the hellhole for a Phillies game next month and maybe an Eagles game this upcoming season. Aside from sporting events, I have zero plans of ever going into the city again. I'm in the process of saving up money to get away from this area entirely. I used to shudder at the thought of not living near a population center for easy access to things. I actually lived in Tennessee for a year, and absolutely hated it because the only store around was Walmart. Now, it's the complete opposite. I can't wait to live in the middle of nowhere.
I used to drive for Uber, and they also forbade guns. But I used it one night to save my life, the police as usual didn't even show up - I would have been dead if I depended on them.
I’ve thought the same way about city conveniences, especially nearby life-saving medical care as I age, but just as I’m getting older and slowing down, my city has jumped in population and is always busy. Now that I don’t speed anymore, I feel like I’m about to be run over whenever I drive on the highway.
@@NunyaBizznaz then u guys gotta get rid of those "certain demographics", it's ruining your country and making it look like a 3rd world country, very sad
I've ridden my bicycle and motorcycle all over Juarez. I'm a 70 year old white guy, never had a problem. Headed back once fall and cooler weather arrives.
Not knowing Spanish will pay off when after they kidnap him and he can’t understand the ways they’re describing to each other how they’ll torture and behead him. Ignorance is bliss 😊
Phily got me breathing a fresh breath of air after that anxiety that is Juarez that family running in 1:30 got me more anxious than two people fighting and yelling on the streets
It is safe. There’s 32 states in Mexico and not all are dumpster fires. Just like we have crap states in the USA. These are areas the government refuses to acknowledge or do anything about which leads to this.
@@arturoserna4459 Can't blame the government for not helping. Here in the US we've pumped trillions into "Diverse" communities the last 100years and they still fail. Maybe it's just the demographics.
@@arturoserna4459Lmfao this is Juarez dude, there's nice-safe places in Mexico of course but, let's not pretend this is exclusive to (for ex) some shitty little Burroughs in Sinaloa or somethin.
I remember when I was 10 we had a D.A.R.E officer come and talk to us about staying off drugs. I told my dad and he said really?! He took me to downtown East Liverpool, Ohio on a Friday night (OK, nowhere near this but we saw a fraction of this) and my dad said “Son, if you do drugs, you’ll end up like this”
That's literally misinformation. Granted, most people have chimp brains and will NOT be able to handle drugs, but for the rest of us, using them doesn't mean we are going to lose control because we know how to remain in control. Literally, every successful person does them. Those old movies of rich men doing lines is not really fiction lol. But, like I said, most plebs aren't smart enough to use them safely. Their monkey brains will like them a little too much.
Thanks for an interesting video as I plan to travel on my bicycle first through Mexico on my way around the world. To me not a big difference in appearance to either city, but somewhat less trash in Philly. No homeless tent villages in Juarez and was expecting to see many of them in Philly, but maybe large slums in Juarez. At least that's what I think I saw in a three minute video of each. Why did you shoot at night?
Being a nearby resident I've driven down those same streets in Philly and seriously it makes Mexico look like Beverly Hills. The barrel has no bottom. It just gets dumpier and dumpier every year.
@@thebronbronshow “Today Kensington is one of Philadelphia's most diverse neighborhoods, with about 25% identifying as Black, 50% White and 20% Mixed race on the U.S. Census, and more than half naming Hispanic ethnicity.” With non hispanic whites, it’s only 19% white.
I've heard that in recent years. Juarez has become relatively safer in comparison to other boarder cities and states. The reason being. The cartel based in Juarez has taken full control of the city over other cartels and they have stop fighting between the street level gangs. There is obviously still an element of danger of violent crimes, but in large part. Unless the cartel has authorized it. Committing a violent crime within Juarez can fetch the person responsible, their own death sentence. 9 times outa 10, the cartel will find the person before the police do. This is especially true if the victims are innocent locals.
This is a fact about organized crime versus the chaos we have in the USA. When the mafia was active in NYC, they controlled crime and it made business worse when low level dummies would cause chaos, bringing more police attention. It sounds weird but the reality is crime will never go away, but when it's managed by a single organization it benefits literally everyone. Crime is about money. Any disruption of that money is the problem.
Fifty years ago or so, it was pretty much the same in Philadelphia. In the parts of the city controlled by the mob, your teen-age daughter was perfectly safe walking home at night. But that was before drugs because the thing. When it was gambling and bootleg cigarettes, the mob was about business. But when John Gotti put the mob into drugs, everyone became a target and dopeheads couldn't be controlled.
I’ve been to both places. I was a kid when I went to Juarez and I recently took my family on Vacation to Philadelphia. Don’t get involved in illegal activity and you will be fine. I was surprised at how ghetto pretty much all of Philly was. We still had a good time lol.
Philly I feel like has been like that for decades thanks to unbelievably terrible leadership (democrat party has a stranglehold on that city so there’s no hope of it ever changing), so it’s reputation is in the gutter, and has been for a long time. It’s truly a shame, as such a historic city deserves so much better.
There's no reason at all for Mexico to be a forbidden place to visit... It's a huge country that is beautiful & very rich in its culture we with so many amazing Places to visit Tons of museums The only Castle in North America that is in CDMX at Chapultepec Park which is massive close to 2000 Acres Was there 2018;for a month visiting Family & had the best time ever!! I'll be going back very soon with my family I can't wait for another adventure!!
The difference is the crime scene in Juárez is strictly cartel related, if you’re a regular civilian nobody will bother you. In Philly anybody can get it.
Phillie's activitiy is impressive, day and night the streets are always active, maybe more so than NYC? Do as many stores stay open 24 hours like NYC? Maybe not cuz more people are broke? In any event I kind of like Philadelphia for its activity and the density probably helps that, Plus the Poconos and some of the most beautiful Waterfalls in Appalachia (And anywhere in the world) are only a relatively short drive away.
I love the fact that you are along 5th street in North Philly just outside of the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia. Just a few blocks away from Northern Liberties gentrification, hipsters and million dollar row homes is a neighborhood that looks worse than any rough Mexican town.
Wow! Seriously, here in Guadalajara there are gentrified parts but to see those horrendous parts you have to go to very specific parts of the city but they are generally illegal settlements
@@nievedechicharron4837 Yes, that is what is crazy about some cities in the US. You would be shocked to see what bad neighborhoods are just one Km away from places like Manhattan NYC or Beverly Hills CA. Independence Hall in Philadelphia where our founding fathers signed the US Declaration of Independence from England in 1776, is within walking distance from where this driving video was taken. BTW Mexico is a beautiful country.
@@nievedechicharron4837 The richest area of California, the richest state of the richest country in the world.. Also has the highest concentration of homeless out of anywhere in the world. Not even out of sight. Skid Row has been a homeless hotspot for decades.
@@PhearsumI'm from Texas and visited Cali a couple times. I remember looking down on what looked like a pile of trash on the Balboa boardwalk, asked out loud "what's all this doing here" and it turns out someone was sleeping under it
Charlie what's good homeboy? I grew up in N.M bro. Next time you come to J town hit me up. I can show you some real places. As I can see you just drive around near the bridge. I could show you nice places for people to see that Juarez ain't that bad as they think. There's ghetto places like there's nice places. Stay real my brother!. Mad props from someone who eas born on thus side of the world and grew up on American soil.
I got put out in York Pa for work and decided to drive to Philly for this skate park underneath a bridge called FDR; it had definitely gotten interesting towards the night. Decided to drive a little through the city on the way back, it was rough. I’ve never seen so many feens in one place.
Si tuviera que elegir entre ciudad Juárez y Philadelphia para salir a caminar de noche me quedó con ciudad Juárez..pero a veces las apariencias engañan
Both are bad at night but I think Juarez just has the presence of some heavily armed organized crime - cartels. I assume that's why we see military/police checkpoint near the beginning.
Claro, pero, ayudarían los soldatos la gente cuando hay un ladrón o el atracador, o solo ignoríanlo? Yo era en El Paso por dos años, pero solo un vez en Juarez. No me gusté pero la gente me dicen que es cambió a traves los años.
Seeing the sneakers strung on the powerlines and how many there were was actually crazy. Really goes to show you the kind of place you're driving through. Scary shit.

Actually you have a much better chance of being left alone in Juarez than in Philly. If you're not part of any cartel and are just there to spend money they are quite welcoming. Don't believe everything the MSM says
Over a thousand murders happen in Juarez a year, more than double than Philly no American ghetto can compare to Mexico bro and that ain’t even the bodies they didn’t find
She isn't trying to be sweet, she's trying to make a living. In south America its super common for window cleaners to offer to clean your car at intersections, even sometimes forcing the situation by cleaning first then asking for a payment after without consent. They always offer to clean to expect some sort of payment right after.
On April 9, 2023-18:00hrs. While in downtown Juarez I was stopped by the city police, no reason given. I was beaten (head injury) and robbed of about 160.00 USD. I somehow escaped and ran into the Mexican National Guard, who guided me into the El Paso del Norte footbridge to safely cross into the USA. I'm a Mexican who lives in the USA. Kind of Brown on Brown Crime.
@@porschefanatic1049cause the cartels will finish you or the police will do it for them, if you do anything to interfere with them selling drugs to 🤡s in the USA
Looks can be very deceiving. Juarez has a homicide rate exponentially higher than Philly. And that's not even counting all those that just disappear, mostly likely kidnapped, never to be seen again. And believe it or not, law enforcement is much more effective in Philly than Juarez. Yeah, you heard that right.
@@mandiguey marcusleja is crazy it looks way more dangerous in Juarez . I think he’s just scared of black people, that’s why he’s saying Philly looks less safe.

Most of the Spanish speaking people in Philadelphia are of African Decent or have a large African admixture. Another fun fact is that most of those countries that do export love Miami, New York and places with right wing expats live. Dominican Central American Honduran Venezuelan Colombian Puertoricans Cubans NOT MEXICANS. (They don't migrate to the East coast) with a few small exceptions.

Parts of Philadelphia are so bad it's a biohazard zone. So many needles and refuse that the local families and children have no business walking those streets to school or the store. Completely disgusting, for that reason alone the city council needs to be sued to high hell. Not to mention the rampant drug use and open air market. If the local state government denies any responsibility the federal government needs to step in at this point or send the national guard down permanently. Philadelphia should be ashamed of what theyve done. It is almost definitely the worst area in America I would say. Skid row is bad but Kensington is basically 5 square miles of despair
@@Doom_Guy__Just keep your head down and befriend some families in the neigh and learn about where to go and incase if you encounter one, ask one of the locals on what to do with the situation. Philadelphia seems like people every corner looks untrustworthy and they could either mess with you for no reason and might get you killed for no reason, Juarize just seems like a better place where there are some trust worthy people and not gangsters

Stop signs - one says “Alto,” and the other, “Stop.” That’s the immediate difference that I saw.
Also, Philadelphia seemed to have less dust, more “trash,” somewhat better lighting, more air conditioners - and a certain quality that I can’t put into words, also. That quality corresponds to some places I heard about many years ago that supposedly existed in SoCal, where if you went there, *and weren’t recognized by those who lived there as being one of their own, with a dwelling on site and family living there* - you would be shot on sight.
Both seemed to be places I’d stay well clear of. Juarez because of the presence of armed police (I’d be used as a target by them - for *live action target practice* - I feel this way around domestic police as well, mind) and Philadelphia because the whole place looks scary as
I did. I was glad to be back home in the USA. At least here I know how to cuss somebody out.

@@anthonythomas1504sad mentality
Very very sad how the government allows cities to become that polluted
I've never lived in any of these cities, but as a Mexican who was born in a border city of Matamoros and lived almost 22 years in America, I personally feel safer in Juarez than Philly and I base that on how people in Juarez act similar to Matamoros: families and friends are out and about just lounging around or going for walks, whatever it may be, everyone just going about their business. Meanwhile in Philly, this looks like any wrong move and you are a dead man, plus drug zombies every other block. That said, Juarez is a cartel hotspot so, I guess they're equally dangerous.
I've had to drive these same streets, and all you think about is god forbid you get a flat. I'll drive that fucker back on the brake rotor before I get out to change it. Never been to Mexico, but it looks cleaner. That said, I would presume its the things you can't see there that makes it really dangerous.
They have “cartels” in Philly too
I have visited Juárez many times and ngl, the city is nice if you keep your distance from messy neighborhoods and problems, but it's basically the Detroit of Mexico.
@@playdiscgolf1546true but they're not going to torture you like they do in Mexico. They just shoot u like gang members do

"Juarez looks laid back" 😂😂😂 couple of blocks from there some of the most gruesome murders and kidnappings taking place
I just read a book where at the end the author listed every Juarez homicide from 2008. each one had name, age, location, cause of death, etc. almost every story was just stuff that would be absolutely shocking and front page news if it happened here. and btw, the crime numbers are barely lower since then

You definitely know how to drive through these areas. Calmly, but not lingering and leaving plenty of space around you, especially when you are forced to stop behind another vehicle. Philadelphia and Los Angeles look nearly identical at night.
I noticed similarities. It's amazing how many people are out at night.
Actually, I was going to say parts of LA and Juarez look pretty much exactly the same.
La looks NOTHING like Philadelphia. Philadelphia has 1000 homes on 1 block. La has homeless people on the street Philadelphia has drug dealers and murderers on the street

Lacking some concrete and asphalt. But Juarez was well lit! Light poles looked like a lot of them were cement and in great shape overall. Well done city.
If anything Philly looked more well lit and the Mexican city looked more rundown. Plus, the houses looked a little better in Philly.
@incelvillain1253 structures looked much better in Philly. But there were few if any light poles in dis repair I'm Juarez. They were all straight up and down and looked maintained well. Lots of leaning poles and old wooden ones that are about time to replace in Philly....I suppose I'm not a fan of the burnt orange hue that america uses for lights ots so creepy... Juarez seemed to be using a different bulb.

Ciudad Juarez is way more dangerous than Philadelphia and every other city in America.

Between the two Juarez looks more peaceful and probably has better food.
I had to walk the streets of Juarez at 4am. I have also been to Baltimore. I was more terrified in Baltimore. I nearly got shot in Baltimore, I almost got all my stuff stolen. Nobody even approached me in Juarez.
Mexican people are super chill and nice. Its the cartels that are the problem but they just don't go after random strangers, they are fighting over territory and money its just sometimes Innocent people get caught in gun fights between rivals. In the USA you might get shot/killed just because somebody is a having a bad day or you cut them off smh.
How do you almost get robbed? Dude you just have a fantasy of Black men putting hands on you 😂

My stepdad was from Ciudad Juárez and when i was about 6 we went there to live with his parents for several months because my stepdad was going to build them a bathroom that was actual connected to their home. all they had was an outhouse.

Except Mexico appeared to have whole families with children on walks in the summer night, so there's that. People were out on walks to cool off from a hot day. Philly looked more like the creatures of the night drug addicts. I would feel safer in Mexico for this reason.
I am thinking if he kept driving there he would eventually be walking through the night too.
the people have complex ptsd from exposure to stuff since birth. they don't have to "hide" necessarily, they just have to be extremely careful who they talk and associate with. and keep their heads down so to speak
Yeah they also hang people off bridges and leave chopped bodies in trash bags.
Philly is like a lot of gangs in their corners that only talk a lot but they don't do anything, In Juárez you can't see the narcos hanging out but they have control in all the city and can hunt you very ez.

Attended Army basic training in 1987 at beautiful Fort Bliss in El Paso. A couple weeks into training a recruit from my company decided to visit Juarez at night, with no pass, and in his dress uniform as we had no access to civilian attire. After failing to show for muster the next morning we found out he had been relieved of his clothing and possessions in Juarez and had somehow made it back across the border only to end up in the custody of the Army MPs.

I've lived just outside of Philly for 31 of my 34 years on this earth. Used to love going into the city as a kid, mainly for sporting events and the zoo. In my teens, I'd go there just to walk around. It was not a great place by any means, but it wasn't what it is now. I got a job in the city back in 2014. Even though my company forbade it, I carried my gun with me every single day. The building closed down and moved to New Jersey in 2019. I've been to the city two times since then (once for a job interview, once to see Monster Trucks with my nephew). I'm going back to the hellhole for a Phillies game next month and maybe an Eagles game this upcoming season. Aside from sporting events, I have zero plans of ever going into the city again. I'm in the process of saving up money to get away from this area entirely. I used to shudder at the thought of not living near a population center for easy access to things. I actually lived in Tennessee for a year, and absolutely hated it because the only store around was Walmart. Now, it's the complete opposite. I can't wait to live in the middle of nowhere.
I used to drive for Uber, and they also forbade guns. But I used it one night to save my life, the police as usual didn't even show up - I would have been dead if I depended on them.

that's a good dad

That's literally misinformation. Granted, most people have chimp brains and will NOT be able to handle drugs, but for the rest of us, using them doesn't mean we are going to lose control because we know how to remain in control.

Would you mind correct the title as Juarez slums vs Phily slums? In both cities are nice hoods.
Thanks for an interesting video as I plan to travel on my bicycle first through Mexico on my way around the world. To me not a big difference in appearance to either city, but somewhat less trash in Philly. No homeless tent villages in Juarez and was expecting to see many of them in Philly, but maybe large slums in Juarez. At least that's what I think I saw in a three minute video of each. Why did you shoot at night?

“Do you want a Chivato on every corner mayne, watching everything you do, everything you say mayne”. “I eat Octopus three times a day”.
I've heard that in recent years. Juarez has become relatively safer in comparison to other boarder cities and states. The reason being. The cartel based in Juarez has taken full control of the city over other cartels and they have stop fighting between the street level gangs. There is obviously still an element of danger of violent crimes, but in large part. Unless the cartel has authorized it. Committing a violent crime within Juarez can fetch the person responsible, their own death sentence. 9 times outa 10, the cartel will find the person before the police do. This is especially true if the victims are innocent locals.
This is a fact about organized crime versus the chaos we have in the USA. When the mafia was active in NYC, they controlled crime and it made business worse when low level dummies would cause chaos, bringing more police attention. It sounds weird but the reality is crime will never go away, but when it's managed by a single organization it benefits literally everyone. Crime is about money. Any disruption of that money is the problem.
BWAH HAAAAA !

@@Janzer_yeah but other times it can turn the city into a hell hole like Port-au-Prince

Fifty years ago or so, it was pretty much the same in Philadelphia. In the parts of the city controlled by the mob, your teen-age daughter was perfectly safe walking home at night. But that was before drugs because the thing. When it was gambling and bootleg cigarettes, the mob was about business. But when John Gotti put the mob into drugs, everyone became a target and dopeheads couldn't be controlled.
I’ve been to both places. I was a kid when I went to Juarez and I recently took my family on Vacation to Philadelphia. Don’t get involved in illegal activity and you will be fine. I was surprised at how ghetto pretty much all of Philly was. We still had a good time lol.
Philly I feel like has been like that for decades thanks to unbelievably terrible leadership (democrat party has a stranglehold on that city so there’s no hope of it ever changing), so it’s reputation is in the gutter, and has been for a long time.
It’s truly a shame, as such a historic city deserves so much better.
I had to read the label to figure out where you were! Wow!!
My father used to take me to Mexico every summer when I was young. I recently noticed that a lot of people see it as a forbidden place to visit.

Thanks for filming this. If i'm ever in a situation were i'm forced to either live in first world Philadelphia or third world Juarez i'm definitely choosing Juarez LOL
U get better tacos in juarez
if you're white you better not choose philadelphia
Parts of Philadelphia are so bad it's a biohazard zone. So many needles and refuse that the local families and children have no business walking those streets to school or the store. Completely disgusting, for that reason alone the city council needs to be sued to high hell. Not to mention the rampant drug use and open air market. If the local state government denies any responsibility the federal government needs to step in at this point or send the national guard down permanently. Philadelphia should be ashamed of what theyve done. It is almost definitely the worst area in America I would say. Skid row is bad but Kensington is basically 5 square miles of despair
Have fun with the cartel, lol.
@@Doom_Guy__Just keep your head down and befriend some families in the neigh and learn about where to go and incase if you encounter one, ask one of the locals on what to do with the situation. Philadelphia seems like people every corner looks untrustworthy and they could either mess with you for no reason and might get you killed for no reason, Juarize just seems like a better place where there are some trust worthy people and not gangsters
Not a single pair of work boots, but I saw many perfectly white shoes. What a shocker
You have some real balls traveling through juarez at night dude
Good God man. You are a soldier. Glad you made it out
After watching Sicario , Juarez is way better than I expected. It looks safer than Philly.
Looks can be deceiving, Juarez is extremely dangerous .
Because people know not to act up
Looks safer maybe, but it's not. Juarez is way more dangerous than Philly, and that's saying something.
when you see armed troops on corners that’s martial law and that means “shoot on sight”. that’s about as rough as it gets.
yeah you'll notice the people all look fairly "normal" and like they're just chilling living life. that's because the bad stuff is the norm and it's no surprise. even the kids are used to walking past guys with their brains blown out on the sidewalk
Some places could be more or less dangerous. But man you were so brave driving there.
I walked about 10 miles theough Juarez last year (day time) didn't have any problems. People were happy to see a tourist. Seemed fine.
A little bit dilapidated but that's part of the charm I guess.
That's one experience
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Literally, things low IQ tourists say. "Oh, look honey, look at the deplorable living conditions in this town. Isn't it quaint? Like omg, so hole in the wall!! Oh my gawd, look at this homeless 7 year old girl with no parents selling me gum so she can eat, this is such an experience 🥰🥰🥰. Oh, no thank you, little girl, no have cash-o. Only card-o".
