- This is easily some of the worst and most dangerous areas in the United States of America. Atlanta, GA is home to some amazing things. Great music, sports entertainment, food, you name it. I find it to be an incredible place for the most part. Problem is, it also has some of the worst crime and poverty stricken areas in the US. As I drove through some of these areas I seen a lot of gentrification going on, and a lot of other things. Let's take a drive and check out some of the worst areas!

One thing I’ve noticed is the state of the house, yet they have rather new and expensive cars parked out the front.
All I can think is "don't break down, don't get a flat tire". 😱
I wouldn't even want to stop at stop signs.
Great video! I was born in Atlanta back in the 50's and grew up in Decatur. I spent most of my teenage years hanging out in Atlanta. It's a-shame to see what's going on there. Crime is so bad that the Atlanta mayor and our Governor don't know what to do about it. Every morning the first 15 minutes of the news is how many people were killed last night or how many cars were stolen or broken into. Atlanta has become the new Detroit. I live 45 miles north now but do not go downtown anymore. Thank's for making this video.
Imagine the ppl that worked hard & made those houses homes only decades later destroyed by their grandchildren
I lived about 3 blocks from areas like this in Atlanta and used to travel these type streets every day. Everything almost always cool during the daytime regardless of who/what you were, i would shop in any of those convenince stores and local fast food joints over a big/nice one to be honest. All that would change after dark however. The people that LIVE in these areas are great people, the people that STAY in these areas are 90% of the trouble.
Live in a dump but drive nice cars.
Your videos are far more educational than public school classes. Thank you.
Thanks so much I appreciate that!
For Real
I love taking a ride along with you, especially with no talking. It has so much more impact ! Thanks !
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for posting another mind-blowing video. I live 30 miles from Boston where the real estate prices are through the roof (no pun intended). In my area, starter homes sell for over $500,000. It's insane. Thank goodness I bought my house 30 years ago as I would never be able to afford one today. When watching these videos, it's hard to believe we live in the same country. It's just wrong!
Thanks so much for watching! I love the New England area but yeah those prices are out of this world.
Gracias amigo
@@hoodsnhollers how much do houses in this area (your video) go for? Did you ask?
The affordability of a home near Boston is very low. I grew up 5 miles north of Boston. It was a kind decent town. My cousins house in Somerville with a view of the interstate sold for insane $$$. She bought a house in my hometown for $700K. So yes ,the prices are incredible. You get very little for your $$.
Kudos to the girl with the lemonade stand. I hope better things come her way 👍
That’s what I’m sayin
She started when she was a little bit younger than what she says now she been out there for a minute

Sad to see so much urban blight in one city. My hometown had pockets of it, our downtown was a dangerous area throughout the 80's, but the city is actively cleaning up and revitalizing, even as the old manufacturers left some newer manufacturers moved in.
My heart is just breaking watching this.
I grew up in a small suburb that was gentrified by people moving from the inner-city. It didn't go well and it's a crime ridden dump now.
America has streets many blocks long, of homeless ppl, and whole towns of empty houses. So hard to understand.
Check out Kensington Ave., Philadelphia some time. It makes this look like upscale living.
I have a few kensington and Philly videos on my channel check em out !
Yes so many empty towns n nice homes in the USA yet so many people r homeless living in deplorable conditions. Y don't they move 2 some of these nice places where their lives would b happy n peaceful?
Some of these abandoned buildings are too far gone. Need to bring out the bulldozer and rid the
place of those really bad properties. Then gentrification has a chance of working.
So where'd everybody go? Sheesh. That's a lot of abandoned housing.
They're on section 8 somewhere else in the metro.
Thanks for the road trip!
And thanks for making me more grateful for the nice home I live in!
I lived the first 20 years in Atlanta NW off Bankhead. We're talking 40s and 50s
It wasn't like this then. This is what drugs do to towns. I blame this on code enforcement. If they did (what they're paid to do) it would not look this way. I live in suburbs of Atlanta and I'd be afraid to go into town.
Every part of Atlanta is the dangerous part.
Not true. I live in Atlanta, but in the Dekalb County part instead of the Fulton County section. I live on North Druid Hills road in a nice, older neighborhood. All of the homes have been updated and the property values in this area have more than doubled over the last 20 years. Every city has good and bad areas, but I do agree with you that most of the urban areas of ATL are not safe and should be avoided...especially at night! Enter at your own risk! 😱
Anyplace is dangerous, depends on who/what you are or what any given situation is
Yes, the video was intended to show the worst areas of Atlanta - and I recognize a number of them in the video including one apartment complex a friend of mine USED to live in. However, like most large cities, there are some not so nice areas. So if you are moving here, you need to do your homework on what areas are amenable to you and what ones are not. LOTS of nice neighborhoods here!! Mostly in the N, NW and NE. I've lived here a total of 25 years and find it very enjoyable with lots of great nightlife, food, shopping, etc. It has its ups & downs like every big city.
I would like to support the young lady with the lemonade stand❤
They done the same thing to Atlanta they done to Detroit.
And camden and new orleans
And East Cleveland and a lot of Ohio.
Yep.
Glad someone else is noticing
And allow it every single time
I'm from the D, and yes you're right: also in Florida and Harlem...... it's a shame how Detroit and Harlem are becoming.
This is good information for ppl that relocate to different cities/states to know where NOT to live👍
Wonderful morning! Sweet sunny day! Clean nature!
This is the new norm unfortunately!! As far as your question on investing in a gentrification neighborhood - this area still has buildings with good foundations/ bones. We should demand that tax dollars go to repairing the properties with potential and make them available as affordable housing with a low interest loan for low income families. What's the chances of that??
All of these houses were originally owned by people who had good paying jobs. All those jobs were exported, and those who could, fled. Low income families were all that was left, and this is the end result. Poverty leads to desperation, crime, and blight.
Why would I want my tax dollars going to rebuild this, for it to happen again?
This will all rebuild itself when PEOPLE have the money to do so.
Apparently lots of apartments were already built and now lay abandoned and vandalized. What can be done with any single family homes? They'll end up the same way after taxpayers pay to rebuild them.
So when they gentrify a place like that, where do these people go, I mean gentrifying would mean pushing the people out of the area because they can no longer afford to live there. And how in the world do you gentrifying a terrifying hood.
It’s so upsetting to see so many once solidly middle-class homes abandoned, many trashed. Ridiculous!
Mindfully, you let the video unfold in its deafening silence, allowing the images to make their own potent non-verbal narrative.
Thank you for caring and for bringing this before the American people. “Attention must be paid.”
Hola!!! I just love ur vids!!! TY you ROCK!
Hola Deborah! Thank you so much!
If you make it to Jeannette i'll show you around. Several homes and an old brewery are earmarked to get demolished within a year or so. A few row houses were just burned up and considered "suspicious". On the main street Clay Ave one old department store was saved by a micro-brewery. Moe & Shemp spent three years here in the early 1920s and lived on Clay Ave. They worked in the summer theater at the now gone Oakford Park. Side note: Moe would stay two streets above me when the Stooges were in the area touring. I beaned him with a snowball around 1970 or 71.
I plan on that in the near future. Thanks so much for watching!
@@hoodsnhollers i can show you a copy of a handwritten letter from Moe and show you the location where he lived with Shemp on Clay Ave. His letter said he was there in 1919 and 1920. Also i can show you the location where Oakford Park was .
Gee , I wonder why .
Why is it that in these videos the houses are falling apart but there's cars parked around them that are quite new?
Lord, have mercy! Thank you, sir.
Thankyou for posting these videos , without any commentary they are even more hard hitting . They should be compulsory viewing for every single politician in the area , regardless of party , they should be totally embarrassed and ashamed of this ....
Thanks so much for watching!
What kind of camera are you using
The early 90s and 80s ATL was much worse
Facts
In the 50's, 60's and 70's it was pretty nice.
I wonder what these neighbor hoods looked like 20 years ago I bet they were alot nicer an happier
Great video. This is the home of my Atlanta braves
damn 38 4 children and selling lemonade on the street corner
Atlanta? Why am I not surprised or shocked.
I watched this whole thing, and knowing even worse parts of Mckeesport that you missed in your video, (I live in Mckeesport, you actually drove past my house), I still think we have the worst town in America.
Well nowadays you can get shot anywhere in n ATL/metro area so really he could’ve just rode around anywhere lol
if there borded up with no electricity it should be up to the owners or city to bulldoze them down after 90 days no ifs or buts about it
Hey you ain't been down here to Holmes county bonifay Florida is just as bad but what can we do you have a blessed evening
Only the people that lives here for years survive this dangerous neightborhoods ,there are occupied homes and some look abandoned. How scary must be at night. I would never live here not Even if i get everything free.
You'd be surprised at how many homeless people live in those bandos.
You know it's rough when they close down apartment complexes.
Im ur new subscriber from today... and im really shocked to watching these videos😳😳
20years to 30 it's was beautiful place to live. My family from down. There. It's change like everything thing else.nothing never say same.
Home of the walking dead.
That's every we're now
I love your videos man! I (unfortunately???) Live in one of the towns you've been through hahaha
How do you record your videos? Are you inside a car? My gf keeps saying it looks like you're riding a scooter wearing a helmet or something hahaha
That’s great LOL! I’m inside a car, maybe when it gets warm out again I’ll do some motorcycle angles but definitely won’t be on any scooters haha
That was eye opening
I see the city is adopting more and more police street cams. We have them on every street in Memphis. Our crime is out of control, But i lived in Atlanta for 4 years and it was pretty bad too.
How much does a regular house cost now days
ATL has had areas like these for as long as I can remember. I attended GA Tech in the 60s, and these rough areas existed then.
For Fuel.
Wow thank you so much Deborah! I appreciate it so much! Thanks for being around from the very beginning!
Lemonade stand has got to be the most adorable front ever
What part of Atlanta is this? What neighborhood??
He was cutting in between all the worsts parts of each area but most of it was Bankhead, right next to the falcons stadium.
I was wondering too because I never seen this part of Atlanta 😳
Vine City/Bankhead area
Captivating
12:09 Does someone left that scooter there? That thing cost about $400-$500.
I believe in One thing,changes are sustainable while prosperity come with struggle and hard work and You lost your time with much due to greed.
We Indian were much balanced our life 20 years before and now have wealth but not that happy life,here everyone in race of more and more wealthy the same way they are loosing natural aspact.
I am now willing to live and want to generalized these kind of places.
A balanced life is more important than hunger of earning only wealth.
Entrando na quebrada de atlanta deve ser muito perigoso ai até a noite é pior
I used to work in some of these areas and I can truly say that the houses/apts may be raggedy but there were some nice cars with expensive sounds systems.
Which Town n City is this???
Atlanta, Georgia.
Why are all these houses shut down ? What happened to the people who lived there ?
They were renters. The owners wouldn't repair the houses so section 8 relocated them.
You need to say where you are so we can avoid them.
Anybody here lived in Brandywine Apartments, or the complex across from it in the early 70s?
Atlanta - Georgia, is it the town of the walking dead serial movies take place?
Just wanted to let you know I watch and like all your videos. I watch CZcams on my smart TV so I don't comment. Figure it was time to grab the phone to let you know
Thanks so much Ronnielee!
I've lived between marietta, kennesaw,and,acworth since moving to Georgia in '05...I can't even imagine smelling the air in the place you've shown in this video..Just being honest..
Tem quê traduzir para o português só imagem.
Gentrification is such a broad term. Wouldn't it always be nice to have new money come into a place that needs it?
Hope you do a video in NY city. Its a mess there too.
I will in the future. Thanks for watching !
Why is the place so quite , big houses but no people living there? Wish we have that here in philippines, just kidding sir. But i enjoy watching seeing quite places. I love it.thank u
And I wanted to relocate to Georgia now I am scared show us the safe places to live in georgia
When will you do New Orleans?
Probably before summers end
@@hoodsnhollers bet. Let me know if u need locations.
Esse é o lado triste dos Estados Unidos que poucas pessoas mostram e falam.
Kenapa begitu sepi...?
Tidak ada orang apalgi anak anak...? Seperti tidak ada kehidupan di dalam nya...
Hanya rumah rumah yang kosong tidak berpenghuni dan mobil yang terparkir
The gentrification is part of the blight.
No. The "locals" have run down the place to the point that investors can come in a buy for pennies on the dollar. It's the "Locals" fault.
Things are bad in Boston and California. Wish you get a chance to video record it.
I’ll do them in the near future for sure
@@hoodsnhollers yes definitely in Cali🌴
Keep spirit
Why is it dangerous but there are still people living there?
I'm glad I have that kind of background...always feel kinda warm and at home in those kinds of places.
I can’t say the same fr since I’m from fl the area itself is so beautiful. I can see why it’s called the city in a forest.
I think I saw a geek monster
Yes
Scared to see this place
I was born and raise in Atlanta till we finally moved when I turned 15 go to capital homes go threw the neighborhood by the federal pin go to cabbage town go threw the streets we’re Martin Luther king middle school and smith high school is you will see smith high school had a day care across the street for students so they would go to school I don’t miss it all oh go threw little fivepoints
Capitol Homes been gone since 2003. It got demolished and replaced by Capitol Gateway.
Pero esto pueblo está destruidos no abitan gente
I feel like I’m watching TV with no sound! But that’s cool too if you would rather not talk to us! I understand! Then you would feel like you were taking to yourself.😊
It's dark between them houses you'll get caught up
I have never seen so many boarded up houses in my life. Makes me glad my city tears down all old decrepit abandoned houses. Keeps my city clean and safe.
I was born in Atlanta but living here could get you killed. You're brave even driving here.
Honestly the place was beautiful, the house are nice it just need a little renovation if I could get a chance to live in that kind of place I would love too..
So like where are all the poor people at that used to live?
there we go...i was wondering when the next drive would occur. thank you. Gentrification...i'd get in quick smart but perhaps in an area where there are others doing the same. Easy for me to say from here in Oz. But surely the prices of land/house would be attractive.
Why are so many vehicles parked with the nose facing the street? I would have thought this is just giving thieves a good opportunity to relocate your car
Investors bought everything up during the recession and are sitting now.
Oh My God.
and i like the videos because this is what it once was.
YOU JUST STARTED 6 MONTHS AGO BUT, YOUR CHANNEL HAS ALREADY OF 27.3 K SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! I THINK YOU WILL REACH 100K SUBCRIBERS "THE SILVER TROPHY" IN FEW YEARS OR LESS THEN MILLIONS SUBSCRIBERS SOONEER!!!!!!!!!
Why dangerous, because of bandits or ghost ?
They're asleep right now. At night the place picks up with gunfire. I was born in Atlanta and don't go there any more. When I was 13 my friend and I would take the bus into the city on Saturdays and wander around and go to a movie. Can't do that any more.
If I had the money I’d invest in some properties
really looks dangerous---lots graffitis---signs of thug life!!!
you be safe out there and anywhere..i pray inJESUSNAME
thanks for sharing
Bankhead NOT Buckhead and
I did not know that Atlanta Georgia was just bad what happened to him and how these people live in because he ain't got no income
This part of Atlanta looks just like Alabama & Mississippi with those tiny shotgun houses
Every state has those
I blame Atlanta officials. They were so busy trying to make Atlanta great they forgot about those who never were elevated. You can't mistreat those who have the least then expect to prosper.
