COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA HOODS

[@CharlieBo313]

Many of my subscribers have been posting requests and sending private messages asking for me to go and do videos in certain places out west especially lately, including the Los Angeles area, Oakland, Texas cities such as Dallas, and Houston. Also many more southeast cities, Miami, Birmingham also St Louis, Boston, New Orleans, and many others. This as you know is very expensive. I will eventually go to these places, if you would like to see this happen sooner rather than later, please make a donation to through Paypal donation I have set up with a debit or credit card, no matter how big or small. Thank you all for watching and subscribing. www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=Y8EV4MERM4MTE&lc=US&item_ name=CharlieBo313&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted

I actually saw a few homes that was quite Pretty , A few the brick homes looked nice, And few the wooden ones too , Some looked very much like some of the old style coal houses we have here in The Appalachian Mountains, They would surprise you , You think they fall down with the slightest wind , But a lot very sturdy, And like these homes , And their caretakers, You can't judge them From the outside, Those houses are gems just waiting to be polished up, I prefer older homes , They've proven themselves with their endurance of time , Might need a bit maintenance, But many prove to outlast some modern ones , My opinion of course !💁

I’ve lived in North Carolina and then South Carolina for the last 7 years on my own. Now I’m back in North Carolina. I didn’t know anyone there. They say Columbia gets rough.

I would not do that in my hometown Detroit where I grew up all my life.

A we didn't want them in our business and 2 if they start shit won't be shit. Anytime I move to a new location I just keep to myself and go about my buisness. But that won't mean you won't get those little shits looking for something like my car being broken into smfh, and flitting my tires for no fucking reason.

[@angieherrera1850]

Angela S excuse me. If the city is looking so bad, you should look at the mayor. Compare to Greenville, they have the same governor but the city is booming. Why? Because the mayor fights for the city and tries to help the city.

[@angieherrera1850]

catwithoutthe hat and the mayors before him were not doing a good job either. Sorry to say if you are a Democrat, but they all were democrats. I think Columbia should take a chance and try something different. We have nothing to lose. If we go the same path, we will be doomed.

[@angieherrera1850]

@catwithoutthe hat I understand what you say. I wouldn't put rich vs poor. I think is greedy polititians vs citizens. I agree, there is corruption on both main parties but I have observed that democrats are ruining many cities already. More than Reps. Look at Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, San Francisco. Democrats don't know how to be fiscally conservative. They don't know how to improve the cities they lead.

If you go inside they have their home's set up and decorated as good or better than any rich person I've delivered to. And I've delivered and installed for a bunch of rich people.

[@power1brother21]

This is the result of Jim Crow laws, closed factories, poor schools, and welfare. Blacks moved out from the farming areas when jobs were plentyful near the cities. These areas were mostly populated by whites. And as they prospered and moved on to newer homes, newer communities, then the blacks moved in. Then in the 70's everything went bust. Factoies closed, drugs use increased, then gangs. Smart black kids were bullied out of the schools. Blacks that had education and owned their own business moved out. Whites at the same level usually end up outside of town in trailer parks. The sad part is folks that complain about EBT cards don't say crap when corporations that left these areas are given billions in tax credits. This is not going to change, its getting worse. Walmart is testing a robotic janitorial system, grocery stores are introducing curb side service. The difference between Trump and Obama, Obama understood this trend and tried to move the country toward a new direction, BUT Trump and the MAGA campaign want the old America back, where factories were strong and middle clsss prospered. GM just said NO to that! NO Education NO Jobs...it doesn't matter if your Black or White.

My father grew up in Saxon Homes (now torn down) near the old Drew Park and Hollywood Hills (North Columbia).

[@Hoonozit]

At 8:50 I think I see coming up a city park on the left. then you come to the stop sign. I think that's Pinehurst Rd. and School House Rd. across the intersection. If you turn left you come to Harrison Rd. Man I haven't seen that park since I was a kid in the 1970s. If that's the park, they built a bigger building. I can't tell but it used to have a sprinkler pool. Good times back then. Sometimes we used to walk to school at WA Perry, I wonder if that's still around.

[@donatellmoore9231]

Alright, so here's the real deal I'm not usually that inclined to leave comments on here due to the fact of others and their opinions at times. However, I had to speak out on this because I am a native of Columbia, SC born and raised. No offense to the individual filming this, but you chose to film a particular area that has simply been ran down over the years, with some respectable people that still live there side by side, has resided there at some point or either raised in that area. The place being filmed, was or still is known as being called, Howell Court. Most of it is Booker street, and Carver street, where decent families have once thrived and probably still is I'm sure. Now I know for a fact, that just a block or two around the corner there's other places that could have easily been deemed as being quite "hood", along with a few other close by neighborhoods up the road...yet, there has been improvements within these places, and meaningful life dwells there also. It's cool that these videos are made showing the darker sides of what life can be like in some lower class "considered" places. However, instead of filming certain areas just for show, go to the really hard down places, and talk about how rough life can get/be for other individuals and maybe even discussing ways of uniting to bring forth some kind of equitable change within the black community. I'm not trying to rant and rave on about it, just saying...It's my opinion is all, and no other intents besides.

[@yosheef007]

Its called hood he went where shit looked hood whats the problem

[@SpitefulGoose]

Yeah I don’t think whoever is filming this wants to go to Gonzalez gardens and strike up a discussion lol. But it does shine a light on how bad our roads are here in Columbia though. I’ve hit way too many potholes and have seen metal plates being used longer than just a temporary fix and it’s ridiculous

Never understood what is so bad about these homes. I lived in an apartment building in queens NY and would of killed for a house with grass and a yard. The problem is they are not cared for. But the houses are better than where I grew up. Take care of your shit.

[@SAVAGE-dy6gj]

Come to Charleston South Carolina it’s way more action

[@nathenism]

so people are still pretending Obomya wasn't a spineless puppet and total disappointment

[@tomservo1971]

I live in Columbia and these parts are like the third world. There's just an acceptance by everyone that this is how it has been and always will be. Fucking tragic.

[@ST-xg3gy]

Absolutely spot on. Curious, how do you know where to go?

[@underraided6045]

Hood map on google

[@sanyundekou9332]

Some of these homes were built in the 1940s. Alot of history here. I'm sure there are family's that have been in the community since that time. They pay taxes and the city won't fix the pot holes. This could be a flourishing town if leadership can bring business in the town without displacing the people.

[@cararevelscrittenton806]

Lmbo at the COMMENTS I live in Columbia COLA I'm from Philly. Its amazing the things humans will watch. Thanks for entertaining us OBVIOUSLY you can't drive in Every single street in every Single hood but you're doing a good job for FREE. There are lots of beautiful and NOT so beautiful places in Columbia . And the people are 95% Pleasant :-) thanks again

[@roddman17]

Everywhere you go has good parts. No matter where even Canada.

[@jdamp9786]

This is the ghetto? Wow, the hood in SC is like a 5 star resort near me.

[@marqmac5312]

Damn it’s crazy looking at this on KZbin. I grew up in that area! Some of my cousins still live in the C.A. Johnson area. Wow!

[@justmyopinion1409]

Marq Mac They build some nice ass houses over by Johnson now.

[@davidburrell6045]

Damn what you doing just going around in circles. If you GO to the trailer Parks, you'll see the other hoods, where the whites folks live, video tape that the next time.

[@agonleed3841]

David Burrell now you know damn well t hst doesn't fit the agenda

[@davidburrell6045]

Agon Leed Yeah the trailer Parks are worst🤔

[@juliebyrne9131]

they wont do that cause the trailer trash methheads are paranoid as hell and psychotic!😄

[@jackblack8915]

"Black man" is an oxymoron.

[@CarolinaNIM]

Columbia native here. At about the 9:00 mark you go by Pinehurst Park. I went to kindergarten in the rec building there (since rebuilt) in 1959 when that park and the neighborhood were all white. in the mid-1990s I was a debit insurance agent and worked that same neighborhood, almost all black by then. I sn't that Washington Carver Village where you start out? That has been an infamous ghetto for years. I saw a similar video last night but you get much more into the worst hoods than the other guy did. As another poster said, I don't know how you come out alive from some of them.

[@ronmoak329]

My great aunt and great uncle lived in eau claire- when it started going downhill they bought some land past blythewood in cedar creek- they didn't want to leave their house to the hood so they actually hired a company to bring their house with them!

[@CarolinaNIM]

Eau Claire was another neighborhood turned hood that I worked in the insurance route in the 90s. I think it went down as soon as school busing started. I lived in a couple of places in the 80s. It was not bad back then for people just out of college and not concerned with schools for the children. Speaking of schools, Lutheran Seminary, Columbia College, and Columbia International University kept that area from going down more and sooner.

[@Rita_Lewis]

😂😂😂people are funny....

[@VondessaJ]

WoW! I lived in Columbia for 19 years and I have no clue where this is

[@kdub9126]

Farrow rd

It honestly pisses me off how when I search up "Columbia" the University pops up. This is the only Columbia.

[@gnomechompsky8853]

I used to live in the house right behind the church over here. People was cool. A lotta over exaggeration bit that's the Metro for you.

[@user-ir7op7vw3v]

Come to ANDERSON SC. Population of about 26,000. 7 hoods, north, east, west, south side, 2 apartment complexes and certain parts of Homeland park.

[@tysanders885]

Marie Brown I live on broadriver

[@justiceofharlem]

Marie Brown I live on broad river too

[@CrazyGuyStudios1]

Charlie, what’s the worst hood you’ve been too?

[@CharlieBo313]

Hard to say, would have to really think on that one. The contenders would be Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark, New Orleans, and Camden.

[@CrazyGuyStudios1]

CharlieBo313 thanks for doing this btw. Not all hero’s wear capes.

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

Big Timer A big city that gets my nod is Newark. But I'm gonna include a very small town many people don't know about is Kinston NC aka K raq. At night those hoods will scare the shit out of you!

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

Last year I got the chance to drive through Detroit and I must say it was a sad sight. Even more heartbreaking is that it used to be the 5th largest city in the nation around the late 70s early 80s. I've never been to St Louis but have been to east Cleveland and Camden and let me tell you, it was a nightmare!

[@CrazyGuyStudios1]

kbw1970 New Orleans is doing better but in the east there are tons of abandon shops, houses, churches, there’s even an entire mall and amusement park abandon Jazzland, which was bought by six flags and is still standing (abandoned) no one cares about that in city government. The east is also a Warzone along with centeral city and other parts of Nola. New Orlean ‘s crime has not decreased we have already have 50 murders and it isn’t even April,

[@propsurferminge4469]

Damn i didnt know you made this video. I was gonna ask you too bc i used to live here.

[@bonnied.writer9820]

These are hoods in columbia... this is not N.MAIN area... Y'all talking bout houses and nice yards, but these ppl don't own the land nor the house.. and don't go over there thinking it's sweet bc getting shot is a strong possibility around those parts. 💯 ~got 💜 for the ☝side~

[@bonnied.writer9820]

@justmyopinion ur comment is gone, but I got the notification..i have stayed all over Columbia as well, And one thing is for sure, if u go to certain parts thinking it's sweet it's a high possibility of u getting shot! Like u said, if u mind yo damn business u good! And i know that for a fact!

[@ashleywind3640]

True Facts Exactly, that area is low income not hood smh.

[@AWNC]

You should go to Hillcrest in Asheville NC, that place is dangerous... in high school went to get some smoke and the door was steel with a slot in it lol.... scary AF... I NEVER went back and have told my kid to stay the hell away from that whole area!!!! Sketchy

OrcanLord pretty much bro ... Here there are more people , less space and a lot of garbage . American hoods are a tad cleaner .

[@sathvikparthasarathy382]

Real Judah same with Bangalore as well ...... Our urban areas resemble American hoods now

[@sathvikparthasarathy382]

Leonard Carr it's definitely safer , since we don't have as many guns as the Americans. The problem would be the living conditions. I see the houses in these American hoods , it would be prime real estate here in India. But yeah , different countries, different problems !
