  1. Kids themselves get stolen.

  2. I lived near the worst corner in East Oakland, 98th and Edes. I noticed CharlieBo only drove through West Oakland, though. While West Oakland is the roughest looking part of the city, East Oakland is the most crime-ridden.
    96
  3. Their biggest concern is avoiding getting mugged, rather than clean streets.
    76
  4.  @davechristian7543  - criminals hide bodies of their victims in those houses. Detroit has a 70% unsolved murder rate. One reason is, the bodies are never found.
    64
  5. For the price of a pair of Air Jordans, you could buy a neighborhood!
    59
  6. It's the water.
    52
  7. Is this what they mean by, " Stick it where the sun don't shine"?
    38
  8. POOCHIE ROSE - considering the crime rate, it won't take long.
    35
  9. You call this a 'hood? It's too clean and well maintained! Then again, so is East Oakland...
    34
  10. Money isn't the problem. Vandalism is. They'll destroy it faster than you can fix it up. If you try to live there, you risk your life.
    32
  11. Your life!
    31
  12. WOW!!! This is POST-APOCALYPTIC!!!
    29
  13. That's because they ARE war zones. You have to sleep on the floor, or in a bathtub, in case a stray bullet goes through your house.
    25
  14. West Coast hoods tend to be clean and well maintained. The bungalows here sell for over half a million! Yet, it's still a war zone. People who live here have to be home by sunset.
    24
  15.  @rice909  - but they're all neat and clean bungalows. You'd never guess you were in a hood. West Coast hoods tend to be boring.
    23
  16. This is THE WORST! I know I've said this several times before, but this video REALLY outdid itself!
    22
  17. I agree. At least 2/3 of Atlanta's population didn't flee in terror.
    22
  18. Fabian DeGussion - "Why does everyone just walk out in the road like it's Pakistan?" Because it's like a war zone - more closely related to Pakistan than your civilized suburb.
    21
  19. Maybe he even drives by your house!
    21
  20. So do I - but only from the safety of a screen.
    20
  21. Of course you couldn't afford it. It would cost you your life.
    20
  22. the lightest phase of the moon - it's worse than ghetto. That's why people tore out of there like bats out of hell!
    19
  23. Gotta start young!
    17
  24. BL💥M!!! BL💥M!!!
    15
  25. Watching this relieves my depression, because I don't live in a place like that.
    15
  26. Why? It would be a complete waste.
    15
  27. Believe me, it looked a LOT better in 1960!
    14
  28. ChefBoyYARDe - STOP is an acronym for Squeal Tires On Pavement.
    13
  29. The virus probably made this city safer!
    13
  30. For me, boredom and sadness would be a privilege. I would be anxious and scared.
    13
  31. On New Year's Eve in 2018, he was driving through Detroit at night, and his windshield got struck by a bullet.
    12
  32. It not Pearly's role or the government's. It's THEIRS!
    12
  33. Nothing beats Detroit!
    11
  34. But they don't dare!
    11
  35. @Jack Napier - what race do you think I am?
    10
  36. Yes, if you want them feasting on YOU.
    10
  37. shane ankrom - you wouldn't want to visit them anyway. Doing so could cost you your life.
    9
  38. Prettiest project ever - but still has a high crime rate.
    9
  39. And Oakland. In fact, Oakland is already worse in some aspects. In Detroit, 911 response time is 1 hour; in Oakland, you'd be lucky to even get through. You'll most likely either get put on hold, or get a busy signal.
    9
  40. In New York City, $1,000 will get you a room in a house.
    9
  41. I couldn't smoke enough weed to stay!
    9
  42. Oh, yeah? Check out Detroit!
    9
  43. A cop in Detroit would have to be a robot. In a place like that, they can't afford to have feelings.
    9
  44. Cynthia Downs - I'll bet! Looks are deceiving!
    9
  45. I'll bet they'll improve it.
    9
  46. You guys are arguing over whose city has the highest murder rate like it's something to be proud of.
    9
  47. ​ @jojoxxi - 😂😂😂😂😂😂
    9
  48. I'm a caregiver. I once had a client who was born in 1911, so she was 7 years old when the 1918 flu epidemic happened. Her mother caught it. She survived, but my client said she would never forget seeing how much she suffered.
    8
  49. The same kind that do human trafficking along the Mexican border?
    8
  50. In third world countries, most roads aren't even paved.
    8
  51. My best friend in middle school was a white girl who moved from Oakland CA to Kalamazoo to live with her father. She never said anything bad about it - now I know why
    8
  52. Junkies who can dance - you mean, tweaking?
    8
  53. You go first!
    8
  54. CORRUPTION!!!
    7
  55. Major job losses, skyrocketing crime, and CORRUPTION!!!
    7
  56. Bobby Gooner - it's too dangerous. The houses could collapse on them.
    7
  57.  @johnjames4593  - obviously, the drugs won.
    7
  58. At least the virus is temporary!
    7
  59. I'd be scared in broad daylight!
    7
  60.  @acclaim-ef3ol  - that's all fine and noble, but what if your business gets looted, or you get picked off by a stray bullet?
    7
  61. Both!
    7
  62. john martin - what they DON'T lack are problem CAUSING skills!
    7
  63. polishtheturd mickelson - why go to Starbucks when meth is cheaper???
    7
  64. Fred Gardner - it doesn't make Detroit look good, but it rivals it.
    6
  65. Thank goodness!
    6
  66. East Oakland is a lot cleaner than Detroit. At least it doesn't look as if it's been bombed.
    6
  67. Any of you see the movie, "Detroit"? It's mainly about the 3 men murdered in Algiers motel during the 1967 riots.
    6
  68. In circumstances like this, armchair travel is best!
    6
  69.  @byrd2fly  - true, but this is Detroit, not the Bay Area!
    6
  70. bret X - they're cheap in that they cost very little money. They're expensive in that living in one could cost you your life. In no way are they reasonable.
    6
  71. Hell, no! This ain't Cali! Thugs hide dead bodies in those houses!
    6
  72. He probably drives a bulletproof vehicle.
    6
  73. Obama gave millions of dollars to the Detroit public school system. They squandered it. Corruption is why those schools are in that condition to begin with.
    5
  74. You think this looks bad? Check out Detroit!
    5
  75. You're supposed to do a rolling stop at stop signs, maybe even red lights, in the hood. I read a case where a man driving at night through Gary IN came to a full stop at a red light. A cop pulled him over and told him not to do that! He had actually frightened the cop!
    5
  76. Why? So they can prey on you?
    5
  77. Except, who gets married in that area? The illegitimacy rate runs 80%.
    5
  78. The city can't afford to demolish them.
    5
  79. Yes it has - for the worse.
    5
  80. 203official - good luck!
    5
  81.  @darrylperry9798  yes, it's true. This is the 3rd time I've answered you, but my comment keeps disappearing. You can find articles about it online.
    5
  82. Mowgli From the Jungle - true, but only Detroit has mass flight.
    5
  83. AEC - that's because the weather is so harsh on them.
    5
  84. They can't read.
    5
  85. Is that why they call it Detoilet?
    4
  86.  @ef5supercell  - plus, any improvements you make, robbers will strip away. They may even hide dead bodies in your house. One of those bodies could even be you.
    4
  87. He does show nice areas. He has videos of Palmer Woods and other mansions in the Detroit area.
    4
  88. ​@CJK57 - for awhile, they were selling for $1 plus back taxes.
    4
  89. He was simply alerted to going the wrong way down a one way street.
    4
  90. Or Balti-morgue.
    4
  91. CharlieBo313 - why are they"uneducated" and "ignorant"? Didn't they attend school as children? I thought education was mandatory up to age 16.
    4
  92. Except for Detroit.
    4
  93.  @shellztalk  - Detroiter, Detroitan, Detoilet, Detoilette, let's call the whole thing off!
    4
  94. I'm surprised at how clean it is.
    4
  95. I wrote this original comment nearly a year ago. I still say it's the worst video of Detroit I've ever seen!
    4
  96. You wish it were boring! Especially in the summer!
    4
  97. I'm grateful I don't live in a hellhole like this!
    4
  98. What did Covid do? Lower the crime rate? If so, I can't believe it either.
    4
  99. Assuming you survive long enough to get to some!
    4
  100. They would improve on it.
    4
  101. I agree about the worst looking part. However, I think the nicest part was the beginning.
    4
  102. Back in the 80s, I had a coworker whose girlfriend owned 3 houses in Cleveland. They cost $1000 each. She hired an armed man to collect the rent every month.
    4
  103. "Would you be mine? Won't you be mine?"
    4
  104. Whitney Houston's old stomping grounds. No wonder she was so messed up.
    4
  105. Defunding police? Oh, that's right - they didn't have much of a fund in the first place.
    4
  106. Leroy Brown is easy to recognize. He looks like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone!
    4
  107. You'll be in their place only if you take on their mentality. Most people never become homeless, and out of those who do, 90% stay that way for 7 months or less. Learn a skill in school, work a job, live within your means, don't do drugs or commit crimes, and have only children you can properly support and care for. If everyone did this, the whole country would be better off!
    4
  108. LOL!
    4
  109. Truth Reigns - "Black, white, brown, we're in it together." Not me! I tore out of Oakland like a bat out of hell soon as I turned 18. Anyone with a hint of sense will do that, instead of rotting in some shithole.
    4
  110. 😵‍💫🤑🤮
    4
  111. Sounds like Oakland CA. Visiting there feels like entering a maximum security prison.
    3
  112. Detoilet!
    3
  113.  @evanbrace5111  - that's what I found strange. The man said he deliberately stopped because he saw the cop, and the cop pulled him over anyway. The cop warned him coming to a full stop could result in getting carjacked. Also, if a car is stopped in front of you, you're supposed to maintain a full car length behind it, so you can escape in case you're carjacked.
    3
  114.  @johngreen3543  municipal bonds would be risky too, but at least they don't require living in a war zone, or having your property used as a dumping ground for criminals.
    3
  115. Your life. Actually, many of them sell for $1 plus back taxes.
    3
  116. Horrors! This isn't part of the Build Detroit program, is it?
    3
  117. It IS a war zone!
    3
  118. If I had to live in a place like that, I'd use drugs, too!
    3
  119. They tried to have Guardian Angels in Detroit. Rather than helping the police, they became targets!
    3
  120. 😀😃😄
    3
  121. No, Detroit looked much worse. Their riot lasted 5 days.
    3
  122. Somewhere "they" ain't!
    3
  123. Of course not. It would cost them their lives.
    3
  124. I agree, even though Oakland is scarier, due to more people.
    3
  125. For the thrill of it!
    3
  126. A stray bullet struck his windshield New Years Eve 2018.
    3
  127. Only downtown has recovered. It is heavily policed, and VERY expensive.
    3
  128. He is. He has sense enough to be in Seattle, instead of Chicago or Detroit.
    3
  129. She can catch the bus - if they're not boycotting, that is.
    3
  130. Last I checked, you could rent a bungalow for $500 a month.
    3
  131. ian neil - check out this article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.freep.com/amp/96494140 Maybe it's Detroit that needs to stop being so corrupt and start taking care of itself.
    3
  132. Interesting! New Orleans ranks 21st among the most dangerous cities in the US, and has a crime index of 5 (1 is most dangerous, 100 is safest). Detroit is currently the most dangerous, though it usually trades places with Saint Louis or Camden or Baltimore. Figure that!
    3
  133. Unfortunately, gentrification no longer works. My home town of Oakland, CA has been gentrified, to the point where a bungalow in the worst neighborhood goes for $600k. Yet, people who live there can't go out after sunset, because it's too dangerous. In the past, when a town was gentrified, the riffraff moved to cheaper areas. Now, they have nowhere to go, so they set up homeless camps and continue to live there.
    3
  134. I think it would be a good idea for all high school students to take part in Habitat for Humanity.
    3
  135.  @george5955  - I don't own my own house. But I'm not desperate enough to buy in a place like that!
    3
  136.  @george5955  - I am VERY comfortable avoiding places like this!
    3
  137. It's both.
    3
  138. It does look nice - compared to Detroit!
    3
  139.  @calmingambiancetv  - actually, it's the students who need to invest more in their education. Try being a teacher, then you'll see what I mean.
    3
  140. I guess Oakland is scarier - more people everywhere.
    3
  141. I run FROM these hoods!
    3
  142. They couldn't hear you, anyway.
    3
  143. Alan Boyd - of course not! He has no chimneys to enter! Plus, everyone there has been bad.
    3
  144. Your life.
    3
  145. Maybe some gangsta rap...
    3
  146. Eternal sleep!
    3
  147. Would you believe these bungalows sell for over half a million???
    3
  148.  @alfredwinterbottom1588  - LOL!
    3
  149. That's because it IS a war zone!
    3
  150. @drew2fast489  - where's the joke? How do you think it got to this point to begin with? And don't say lack of jobs, because Oakland CA is heading in the same direction.
    3
  151. @drew2fast489  - if the community doesn't care, why should anyone else?
    3
  152. The virus is probably less of a threat than his neighborhood.
    3
  153. About half of shooting victims in these cities are innocent bystanders. In some hoods, people have to sleep on the floor or in bathtubs, in case a stray bullet goes through the house.
    3
  154. Too boring.
    3
  155. This could happen: http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,138030,00.html
    3
  156.  Ken Lompart  - things don't have to be this way. This is a symptom of personal laziness. If the main job industry leaves your area, either commute, change careers, or relocate. The job market does not owe anyone a spoon-feeding!
    3
  157. Dr. King gave his life so blacks would be better off. If he saw hoods like this, he would be extremely disappointed - and for good reason!
    3
  158. You can be sure the IQ is lower than the property taxes!
    3
  159. Nothing! They collect welfare!
    3
  160. One of my roommates (white woman) went to Detroit once. She told me they had bulletproof windows in the banks, grocery stores, and Greyhound stations. At one point, while riding in a car, her black friend told her to duck to the floor. This was in the '80s!
    3
  161. Is there a Jackson Street in Detroit?
    3
  162. On reservations. Otherwise, leave Montana to The Sierra Club.
    3
  163. LearnHowToWipeYaArse - with no condom! lol!
    2
  164. This place looks a lot more civilized than Detroit!  At least there is plenty of signs of life here!
    2
  165. Steve Reed - it would probably be an improvement.
    2
  166. They did. Have you ever heard of Devil's Night? Every October 30th, the night before Halloween, gangs set a whole bunch of houses on fire.
    2
  167. Back when East Palo Alto was still a ghetto, a man was murdered in the section called Whiskey Gulch which contained 2 gas stations. Though the city was murder capital of the US a few years before, they had the decency to permanently close both stations. The fact that Detoilet didn't do the same says a lot about how corrupt it is.
    2
  168. Run it where? Into the ground?
    2
  169. "And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there." Actually, this is the nicest populated video I've seen CharlieBo313 do. No violence!
    2
  170. 🎼🎵🎶"I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. I've always wanted to be in a neighborhood with you." 🎶🎵

  171. "Dreams, they're for those who sleep. Life is for us to keep." ~ Bread
    2
  172. Then comes the bill for back taxes!
    2
  173. The black lights shining on the abandoned houses at the beginning create the perfect ambiance for the ultimate Halloween tour!
    2
  174. Good luck! 😜
    2
  175. Whatever for? The place is totally gentrified, now.
    2
  176. It was a shithole 50 years ago, when Motown left.
    2
  177.  Michael Uche  - people who make something positive of themselves, and spread that positivety to others.
    2
  178. Your life.
    2
  179. Oh, yeah?
    2
  180. They're more likely to be killed by a stray bullet than the Corona Virus. Life expectancy for males is 30 years.
    2
  181. They don't have to mug each other, either.
    2
  182.  Yawanah Yasharahla  - what do you mean?
    2
  183. They'll certainly make front page news!
    2
  184.  @agahajak  I don't see what's so scary about that - unless a car was coming head on.
    2
  185.  @thedrabfour  - people are free to make their own decisions. Giving up space travel will not make them pay attention in school, or live moral lives.
    2
  186. Or DURING war!
    2
  187. @Zayyfrm96th  - on the 80s, people who lived there had to sleep on the floor, or in bathtubs, to avoid being hit by a stray bullet. Is it like that today?
    2
  188. Actually, it's worse than living in a cardboard box. Criminals hide bodies in those houses.
    2
  189.  @juantacillo5269  - it's not the whole society, just the most negative aspects of it. Most of America is not like this video. Most Americans work hard and care for their homes and families. I'm a black woman, and don't live anywhere near a slum like this. I watch these videos to be grateful I'm not stuck in such a hellhole. I love America, and do my best to add positivity to it.
    2
  190.  @forgedinfireborninblood6626  - not just the whites. The ack middle class left, too. Anyone with money tore out of there, knowing what lay ahead.
    2
  191. You're free to visit and experience it for yourself.
    2
  192. The Corona Virus probably made it safer and more peaceful!
    2
  193. Having grown up in Oakland - and tearing out of there like a bat out of hell soon as I turned 18 - I'm telling you, you ain't missin' nothin'.
    2
  194. This is the cleanest city I've seen by CharlieBo. However, this is the most screaming I've heard.
    2
  195. They'd turn black and blue.
    2
  196. Marco Anaya - how about drug dealer?
    2
  197. Probably fled in terror.
    2
  198. Nope - it all goes for cars.
    2
  199. CharlieBo313 drove through there at night on New Year's Eve, awhile back. His windshield got struck by a bullet.
    2
  200. Sounds like East Oakland. When you go out in the dayt6, you bring a gun with you, and you don't go out at night at all.
    2
  201. Do they put a gun to your heads and make you use?
    2
  202. Run them where? Into the ground?
    2
  203.  @policeofficersandy8057  - I find Detroit morbidly fascinating, too - and I live in Hawaii!
    2
  204. I think East Saint Louis currently has the highest murder rate, but these cities trade places. Next year, it will be another one.
    2
  205.  @titsmcghee1086  - you forgot the"I". It's RUIN, not RUN.
    2
  206. Detroit's police department operates at 1/3 capacity, and several years back, they were given a 10% pay cut. Response time for 911 calls can be as long as an hour. Things are so bad, they warn that people who visit the city - at any time - do so at their own risk.
    2
  207. I'm from Oakland, CA. To me, Detroitans sound like Midwesterners. The Midwest accent sounds somewhat Southern, but has a flatness to it. Detroitans have a unique inflection in the way they pronounce oi.
    2
  208. dakotalayinlow - no, it was Bossier!
    2
  209. That's what puzzles me. I would have thought New Orleans would be worse, since it has long been considered one of the unhealthiest, most corrupt cities in the US. At least Detroit used to be paradise.
    2
  210. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXb2Zyiiqu0
    2
  211. Actually, he's safer in the winter.
    2
  212. Please - say it isn't so!
    2
  213.  @showmestatefinest5412  - they're trying to gentrify it. Though it is outrageously expensive now, it's still one of the most dangerous places in the country. When I visited Oakland in 2004, it had a maximum security prison vibe I didn't remember from the 1980s. I'm sure the vibe is even worse today.
    2
  214. THANK YOU!!! It's about time someone addressed the real issue - corruption! Detroit public schools also misappropriated funds sent by President Obama.
    2
  215. True about riots - but currently, the Navajo reservation is struggling with Covid 19 because of lack of water. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/oQZHFJXG66c
    2
  216. Winter? Where's the snow?
    2
  217. My beloved Los Angeles! 😢😫😭
    2
  218. Especially the $hit zone in San Francisco!
    2
  219. Hundreds of what?
    2
  220. America has always been great. Hoods do not represent the whole country!

  221.  POF 415  - "Much Ado About Nothing".
    2
  222. It's the Land of the Free, but the Home of the Brave!
    2
  223. Both. Detroit started going downhill after the 1967 riots. It was hit the hardest during the recession in the early 1980s, from which it never really recovered. The 2008 recession really did it in.
    2
  224. During the war is more like it.
    2

    2
  233. Besides, homeless people in Detroit don't even want to squat in those houses. It's too dangerous, because criminals hide dead bodies in them.
    2
  234. They get it from the presence of the police cars. Imagine what would go on if they weren't there.

  235. Sombra Chan - I had the misfortune of living in East Oakland when I was a child. I lived in other parts, including Piedmont, which wasn't much better. That was back before it became the war zone it is today. Compare this video, and the ones of Oakland, to Detroit and Camden. They all rank among the most dangerous cities in the US, but this video and Oakland are not as dilapidated. BTW, I'm a woman.

  255. You are very observant! If I lived in a place like Detroit, I'd probably drink that much everyday. Then I'd recycle the bottles and use the funds to get out of there. Or better yet, don't drink, and use the money saved from not drinking to get out of there. The shrine is at 30:00.

  275.  Tim Evans  - the reason teachers don't want to teach in these schools is because they risk suffering grievous bodily harm if they do. All schools, regardless of quality, teach the 3 Rs. The students simply have to apply themselves, and learn a trade at a "crappy" community college, then they will be able to get a job that enables them to support themselves. They can relocate to a better place, or stay where they are and improve their neighborhood. People need to do 4 things to escape poverty: finish school and get good job skills, stay out of trouble with the law, have children only when they can afford them, and work steadily. Ultimately, it's up to the individual; no politician is going to spoon feed it to anyone.

  291.  @ScorpioBornIn69  - I watched the video and read some of the comments. It looked like Christians were crashing the Muslim festival to force their own religion on them. I wonder how those same Christians would react if Muslims crashed one of their camp meetings with signs saying they were going to hell for worshipping Jesus instead of Allah.
    1
  292.  @ScorpioBornIn69  - Christians have a bloody, barbaric history that easily rivals Islam's. Christians are free to practice any religion they want, and they are entitled to their opinions. However, nothing gives them the right to invade the gathering of another religion and denounce them on their own turf - even if they do it "nonviolently".
    1
  293.  @ScorpioBornIn69  - there's much more to the history of Christianity than the Crusades. In Medieval Europe, Catholics persecuted "heretics", those who didn't believe exactly as they did. Those heretics, known as Protestants, fled to the Americas where they slaughtered the natives, brutally converting the ones who survived. They committed similar atrocities in the African continent. They used the same tactics as the ones the Christians use in the video you posted, but far harsher. Some folks say Islam is today where Christianity was 100 + years ago. In either case, no god has ever spoken up to clear the matter. So who's to say which one is right? If you don't like it

  306. Yes, it's dangerous even in the nice areas. Most of Detroit ranks #1 in crime rating. Palmer Woods, one of Detroit's nicest areas with huge mansions, ranks #2. It's the reason those mansions, which would go for a million in most cities, sell for @ $300,000.

  369. ARE YOU KIDDING??? Frankly, I was surprised at how clean these streets are. A quarter of Detroit's houses are abandoned, and left to rot. You have piles of tires in empty lots. Only a few gas stations with convenience stores are in those areas, and they have bulletproof glass protecting the salesclerk. I say, Detroit makes Baltimore look like heaven.
    1
  370.  @valerielain6878  - Detroit WAS beautiful, back in the day. It was considered the Paris of the Midwest. But since the 1967 riots, it has gone downhill. Now, it's just an empty shell of what it once was. People travel the world over to photograph its ruins. They even give Ruin Porn tours there. It's safer than going on your own, because you risk getting carjacked. Criminals hide dead bodies in those abandoned houses, where most likely they'll never be found. True, Baltimore has never been beautiful like Detroit, but it hasn't sunk to the same degree, either. It's not like 2/3 of the population abandoned their houses and fled. At least Baltimore residents have some hope. They can attend a charter school and move to a nicer area of the city. If they want to leave altogether, they won't need to go far.
    1
  371.  @valerielain6878  - Detroit WAS expensive, during its Golden Age. Now, it has houses going for $1 plus back taxes - and, considering how run-down they are, plus the lack of amenities, they're not even worth that.

    1
  405.  @yeahhbuddy3932  - alright, so you can't afford to commute to a school in Finland by Learjet! Neither can the vast majority of Americans, including Bill Gates when he was in high school. So please explain why most American cities are not like Flint. I made a bunch of stupid decisions when I was younger. Yes, I had to pay for them. I too had to support myself on minimum wage - part time, at that! As I grew older and wiser, I learned the laws of Cause and Effect. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher. I see what goes on in these schools, how the students goof off, passing up one opportunity after another, then blame the DOE on the outcome. So I got a view of the mistakes I made in high school and college, because of my negative attitude and sense of entitlement. I tell you now: it's all BULLS#IT!!! Government taxes at least keep most ghetto people off the streets; if they want a better life than Flint, it's up to them to provide it for themselves.
    1
  406.  @yeahhbuddy3932  - surprise! Finland has a poor and homeless population, too. While it's less than America's, it's not much less. Our poverty rate is 12%, while Finland's is 5%. However, according to this Wikipedia article, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population America's homeless rate is 0.17%, while Finland's is 0.13%. And you're far more likely to freeze to death in Finland! Ultimately, it's not just what you have - it's what you do with it.

  436. According to this article, Detroit wins first place, while Baltimore ranks 4th. https://m.escapehere.com/destination/25-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-us-in-2020/ I don't find that too surprising. Murderers hide bodies in abandoned areas of Detroit, which is harder to do in Baltimore. Also, Baltimore has far more economical opportunities than Detroit.

  452. Hey Yo - I know exactly what you mean. I was born and raised in Oakland. You don't see half bombed slums there because West Coast culture greatly frowns on trashed properties. However, that does not prevent Oakland from consistently being one of the most dangerous cities in the US. Today, the 2 bedroom 1 bath bungalows in East Oakland go for $400,000. Usually, outrageously priced properties drive out crime, but it's not working in Oakland. Soon as I turned 18, I tore out of there like a bat our of hell. To this day, it's the best decision I ever made!

  453.  @cheeseofgoat13  - not that anyone asked, but I happen to be a black woman. If living responsibly in a positive environment, and contributing to it, instead of being a parasite in a slum and popping out a pack of bastard criminals makes me a racist, so be it.

  462.  @eldridgedavis  - speaking of "racism", a Detroit native once told me about a black man who tried to rob a party store at gunpoint. The Arab owner, who weighed 400 pounds, tackled him to the floor and sat on him, suffocating him to death. LOL!

  523. I'm from Oakland, CA. Though the atmosphere was like a maximum security prison the last time I was there (2004), at least it didn't look like it had been bombed. I understand today, it has about a dozen homeless camps, one a mere block from where I used to live, on 27th Street. I think the streets are still clean, because they provide porta-potties. It's not like San Francisco, where whole streets are lined with tents and people are sh*tting on the sidewalks. It might be worth CharlieBo's time to go to the Bay Area.

  588. Interesting! In the late 1980s, I had a coworker whose girlfriend owned 3 houses in Cleveland. They cost $1,000 each. She had an armed man collect the rent each month. Back then, you could buy a 5 bedroom mansion in Detroit for $17,000. Strange to think Detroit is worse now.

  599. Kwame Shakure - actually, it has had the opposite effect. The result is feral gangs running amok and causing crime rates that rival war zones.
    1
  600. Kwame Shakure - you do know the history of Detroit, right? During the 1940s through 1960s, it was considered one of the most progressive cities in the US - the world, even. After the 1967 riots, things went downhill fast. In 1974, it held the title of the murder capital of the US, and has done so off and on ever since. Now think of the elderly people who have worked hard all their lives, bought those beautiful houses at the top of the market cycle (without realizing it) and are now retired. Their houses sit in the middle of a mass of uninhabited blocks full of rotting abandoned buildings rife with sewer rats, rabid dogs, and gangsters who hide murder victims in those buildings. If they try to sell their houses, they'd get less than what they paid 60 years ago - that is, if they could be even find a buyer. Usually property values increase with time, so you can buy with confidence. In situations like Detroit, not only do they plunge, this is spreading to the suburbs - and it's getting worse. "White Flight" is only a temporary solution, since it's only a matter of time before the gangs follow. Highland Park used to be one of the best areas of Detroit; now it's one of the worst. Brightwood was a place of hope for working class citizens back in the day; now it's nicknamed Blightwood.
    1
  601. Kwame Shakure - most blacks have risen above poverty. Those who remain trapped in situations like Detroit are a result of believing the world owes them something, and poor morals. They need to realize slavery was not entirely the white man's fault; village raids were led by Africans. Besides, only 5% of whites in the US owned slaves. Blacks need to consider the consequences of their choices. Bad school performance and teen pregnancy is a one way ticket to being trapped in Detroit.
