I remember walking these streets as a kid. Playing in the abondon lots and on the roofs. Living in an abandon building. All the empty vials, baggies, and syringes on the floor! Its way better these days then it was before. There are other places in the country that have similar condition's l. Camden nj and parts of Baltimore that ive personally seen.

You know I have to give Mayor Mike Duggan credit for actually cleaning up old Detroit neighborhoods where houses were just left vacant and decay.

They were standing,gutted and inhabitable and were falling from the inside. Then eventually elements took over and I guess the mayor saw yi finally. They debris was finally picked up by 1986.

[@amackert.1960]

NYC had a much higher violent crime rate in the 70s and early 80s than today. The city was truly dangerous, scary and depressing then. The song from that era that represents NYC the most is "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty which was hugely popular in 1978. A song full of fear and melancholy from a fearful and melancholy era. No wonder Gen X'ers growing up in that era turned out to be pissed off & angry at the world.

[@FrankiieYoung]

What part of the bronx is the first half of the video?

[@EdwardM-t8p]

At the time I was living in New England and going to college in Miami (1979-83) and The Bronx not only resembled Warsaw, Berlin, and other European cities in 1945, it was also the most dangerous county-level area in the country as shown in movies like The Hijacking of Pelham 1-2-3, Fort Apache The Bronx, and The Warriors. The Bronx was one reason why I didn't even think about attending Fordham University - I would have been stuck on campus.

Why all building was in ruin?😢

[@randylahey1822]

City was bankrupt with a huge debt, feds stepped in to help with loans and segregation of neighborhoods which led to all time lows in property value. Landlords tried to collect insurance money by hiring gang members to burn down old and neglected buildings still owned by the Irish,German and other white communities who left for the suburbs in the post war era. Everyone felt it but the Hispanic communities took the biggest blow because they were the newly arrived and had to live innit. That's probably why some people in the mob circles always talked about looking out for their own community because things were really segregated in those days.

Я пишу так потому, что знаю. Мне 46 лет. Те кто хотел разрушить мою странунам в ссср врали, что в сша все миллионеры, живут в особняках, катаются на яхтах и снимают хорошее кино. И что я вижу сейчас?

Думаю, что в 80е не напрягаясь можно было найти и в СССР немало таких мест, даже в Москве. Так что не все так однозначно... Хотя в кино нам показывали, что там рай и все живут в собственных двухэтажных особняках и ездят на роскошных кадиллаках. Хотя в кино и сейчас такое показывают, и даже про РФ: любой мент ездит на поркайен и живет в дизайнерской 5ти комнатной квартире.
