  1. "We're all living here in Allentown. And they're closing all the factories down...."

  2.  @dalton680  The most significant cause of all of this is when the auto industry went bust.

  3. Youngstown, part of the Rust Belt that was once the mighty Industrial Belt.

  4. Communism/socialism is a total failure.

  5. Not only the houses, look at the roads, significantly decayed beyond repair, appear to have been abandoned as long as decades some of them.

  6.  @frank-xp6pj  Just go to Detroit, Gary, south side of Chicago, etc,., and you'll see a ghetto.
    17
  7.  @DigitalDissident  All of this happens when political corruption, foreign competition, outsourcing and greed come into play. This is the result of it all.

  8. After seeing many of these vids of the ghettos and run-down areas of these cities up north, I'm so glad to be living in Florida since I'm a Chicago-native. Great not to be living in Illinois anymore, seeing what political corruption, greed and stupidity has done to that state as a whole: cost of living, high taxes, bad roads and bridges, high crime and such.

  9. The bloody drug wars back in the 1980's have dealt Miami a black eye and the scar of it still remains.

  10. Especially Detroit when the auto industry went bust and losing 60% of it's population.
    14
  11. Along with foreign competition, political corruption, greed and outsourcing - death to the auto industry.

  12. When political corruption, foreign competition, outsourcing and greed come into play. This is the result of it all.

  13.  @mrq2044  Not now but appears they along with the state of California are going in that same path that ruined Detroit.

  14. Congress -The Swamp.

  15. Gary being #20?? It is far worst of ones higher on that list.

  16. Looks like 'America's Damascus' indeed.

  17. 3:16 Street punks and thugs being arrested.

  18. 5:33 Wow, you see one nice home....then see the one next to it....yikes.

  19. Quite a contrast from being in Miami a week ago and Detroit today weather wise, from warmth and humidity to snow-n-cold.

  20. And I wouldn't call it an oasis with all those homeless people 'and' all that gang graffiti all over.

  21. I wonder how he can still afford going to all these places with the current gas prices.

  22. That is what I'm thinking too and a better, faster and cheaper way is just set them all ablaze to turn it all to ash, quicker to get it removed.

  23. No thanks to foreign competition, political corruption, corporate greed and outsourcing.
    5
  24. That is why so many homes and businesses are abandoned. 60% of the city's population dropped, and over a million who have lived and runned businesses there have move away leaving them all empty and to rot and fall apart.

  25.  Khalid Garvey X  It too started the same time with gang culture in LA back in the '20s when the mobs came.
    5
  26. Lack of education and vocational skills.
    5
  27. Wise choice. I know some internet and YouTube friends who have done the same and say they now will never miss that area because of the corruption and high cost of living.
    5
  28. Political corruption, foreign competition, greed and outsourcing is what did all of this.

  29. 5:22 Stratosphere Tower.

  30.  @ELIRAXPRT  From the 1940's to the 1960's it was the auto industrial might of the world. Then first came foreign competition, then greed, then political corruption and with it the outsourcing.

  31. It'll take years and many billions to bring back the once mighty auto industry to make Detroit great again, however I think the damage has been done and it'll never be it once was back over a half century ago.

  32. Jackson, Mississippi, roughly 150 miles from the beautiful gulf coast and has images of an abandoned northern city.
    4
  33. Pittsburgh, a Sylvania town that was a mighty steel town has gone down that same road as the other industrial cities in the Rust Belt.

  34. Move to any state that has no state income tax; Texas, Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Alaska, Montana, etc,.
    4
  35.  @DoomKid  Or a job that doesn't pay enough. Making $30 an hour you can, but not making $12 an hour.
    4
  36. @Peyton Brimmer True but also when such jobs disappear it creates poverty and poverty creates, brings in gangs.
    4
  37. Cars bought with heroin and meth money.
    4
  38. The oil industry is Texas's economy and when oil prices tank, so does the economy there.
    4
  39. Wow. Really aghasted seeing Jackson, MS, looks so much like Detroit and Gary. There was no auto or steel industry in that region that went bust to have caused that, the number of abandoned homes. So what was the true cause there?

  40.  @BoostedPastime  It was very bad back in the 1980's during the drug wars when drug lords from South America were trafficking cocaine into Miami. I remember it on the news and it was ugly and bloody.

  41. Such bad roads will greatly mess up the shocks, struts, suspensions and tires ending up in costly repairs of your car.
    4
  42.  @ziggysmalls9329  Greed, foreign competition, outsourcing and political corruption is what tanked this once auto industrial might town.

  43. Rid of ourselves of those red bastards.

  44. I been through the desert on a horse with no name, it feels good to be out of the rain. In the desert, you don't remember your name because there ain't no one to give you no pain.
    4
  45. Just wonder after going through one of the coldest winters in years what those people living there did?
    4
  46. All caused by political corruption, foreign competition, greed and outsourcing. The lost and sucking out of auto factory jobs had put the nail in the coffin of a city that was the motor capital of the world.

  47.  @CharlieBo313  I seen many of your vids and practically been all over the country. Ever think of going to Alaska sometime to either Fairbanks or Anchorage?

  48. While it's snowing there, it is in the 80s here where I'm at.

  49. Gary, Indiana went down a similar path, a once boom town that went bust and now looks like Detroit. Same thing for parts of Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

  50. I have heard some factory jobs have come back and creating thousands of new jobs and not just jobs. Jobs that pay at least $30-$35 an hour, not $7.25 - $15 an hour.
