Have said this in previous vids about Columbus, but one of the things about the city is that a lot of the bad areas don't *look* like you'd expect slums to: they still have single-family homes in them without a ton of broken or boarded-up windows, no huge piles of trash or large swaths of abandoned buildings, etc. But the drugs, violence, shootings, and poverty are definitely there.
@Roidweiser3 ай бұрын
This is very true. I lived in this exact hood (he went by my old place) and it definitely didn't feel as safe as this video makes it look. Seeing prostitutes and drug deals all the time right out front of my duplex door was something else.
