Lived in Gainesville for 5 years, the homeless problem is not talked about enough. I would get hassled for money everytime I went out.

I’ve been a resident of this town for over 30 years. And it’s sickening what has become of it. Although still a beautiful town. Crime, taxes, cost of living are absurd. 😢

[@amyharris2121]

It all depends on where you are at in G-ville. Honestly there are not many areas in many cities that don't have homeless. We are in Florida of course people flock here to get away from cold weather. Also Gainesville is not all litter... come on man it's in the areas where you see the homeless not give an eff,even poor neighborhoods take pride in their space, and honestly I feel bad for them that they at some point and time threw life away and gave up (broken). I certainly would not want the police to harass them, but if you litter and get caught or I do make no mistake you'll get fined. I am defending Gainesville because one drive through the town does not really rep the city, and no I'm not a resident there but live in an out lying area. To all the people saying Gainesville won't/doesn't help the homeless, well that is not true either... I mean you have to want to help yourself at some point too, right??? There are resources to try to help people, the majority of people do not want those resources as it would involve getting clean no matter what vice of choice may be. I personally know someone her, and husband their children ended up homeless and there were/was a resource to keep her family together and get on their feet, she did not tell me this had happened until months later. She and her husband are a great example of utilizing a facility for their greater good. When you stop and offer up work and you are told to EFF off because they can make more money panhandling that is a them issue. The St Francis House offers much aid, resources ect. many of the homeless reject the service ( the vets with mental health issues ect.) seem to use this resource for food, sleeping and showering. At one point there was a dude standing off an exit by 75 flipping people off if they didn't donate to him, as he held a sign asking for $5 or more dollar donations. All the people with judgement feel free to call any of the shelters/volunteer spaces and offer your service and possible resolutions to help the people, because it is a true issue, and it should not all be laid off on the city/ county as their responsibility alone. Also right near The St Francis House is Gainesville community church they have wonderful services to help people, Salvation Army offers services.

[@aljebell]

I've lived in Gainesville my whole 56+ years and seen it go from a nice college town to an ugly college city. Homeless and crime is steadily rising, and good paying blue-collar jobs are continuously banned by local government. Liberal politics along with the crooked politicians and the crooks who they appoint are to blame. You see...the professors, politicians, lawyers, doctors, heads of law enforcement and well-to-dos that cause these problems live in secluded areas that are meticulously maintained by the high taxes while the rest of the county is allowed to degrade. Those run-down apts are owned by those wealthy people and are not held to city codes. If they were owned by the middleclass, they would have been condemned. Roads outside of rich neighborhoods and not around universities or ways to get to super shopping areas like Bulter plaza are horrible and only receive patch jobs. It's only going to get worse as the elite live better while the rest of us fight it out in the mud.

[@mrskwrl]

You've just basically described how these liberal democrats operate. They live well off and spend all their time behind gated communities and well-to-do neighborhoods while voting feel-good policies that ultimately perpetuate and exacerbate these problems. I live and grew up around them and it is mind-boggling how delusional and completely out of touch they are with reality. These are the snobby self-righteous holier-than-thou jerks clinging to their moral high grounds while completely ignoring the consequences of their campaigns who you have to vote against.

[@mrskwrl]

Grew up in Gainesville. It is NO WHERE near as bad as California, and it is glaringly obvious you've never actually spent time around California homeless to be making that comparison. Gainesville is so peaceful and friendly compared to any big Democratic city. Yes GNV is probably the most liberal corner of Florida and it's probably a little more homeless on the streets than 10 years ago, but the severity PALES in comparison to NYC, Chicago, SF, or LA. Glad people like you are making a big fuss out of it though. Will keep pressure on the situation, unlike these other cesspool Democratic cities. I need to move out of NYC asap.

Gainesville has lots of homeless. Tallahassee is starting to become the same. I see homeless people every day on my drive to work. I will say this though.

I lost it laughing when he says “there’s three kids in hoodies “don’t get too close in case you have to leave” I think this guy has seen too many movies and clearly doesn’t conceal carry. There is absolutely no place in Gainesville where you will be a victim of car jacking while making a stop. It is clear to me this guy has never driven through Albuquerque’s War Zone which I have. Not even in Albuquerque did I feel unsafe and the crime rate compared to Gainesville is astronomical. Please work on getting your facts straight pertaining to comparisons of which state is worse off. Every town has its nice parts and not so nice parts. If you want a place with virtually zero trash visit Tokyo. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how this video has this many views and likes.

Back in 1984 when I was in middle school we lived in Northwood Pines and it was a cool neighborhood. We had a pool in back and friends were always there to swim. Well roll the tap to 3 years ago I was driving around Gainesville with my wife showing her where I grew up. About an hour later we were stopped at a Publix and I bumped into one of my dad's friends and told him what we were doing. I mentioned the house with the pool where they always came over for cookouts and parties and his face went pale. He begged me to never drive through that neighborhood again it was VERY bad and people get robbed and shot there. That was very heartbreaking to hear it had become that bad there. I still visit Gainesville once in a while and yes I do see the severe degradation of many areas in town. Very sad for a major university town. Tallahassee is nowhere this bad but does have it's areas too. Thanks for the video.

When I drove through I did notice lots of houses needing some work and yards were not grass they were dirt from 5 or 6 cars in the yard. Off NW 34th Blvd close to US 441. A Super Walmart is on the corner now since I lived there. The house we lived in with the pool looked the same as when we lived in it but they took out the pool. A good area to look in Gainesville is off Newberry Road heading west of town. Hamilton Heights is a good place and a little farther out are some newer subdivision areas too. The University area is ALWAYS crowded and traffic. Can give more town stats if you want. If you have kids the local schools are good, I liked them. Graduated from F. W. Buchholz in 1990 it was in my opinion the better one in town for location and not too crowded.

It's winter time all the homeless migrate to Florida during the winter time most of them go all the way down to the Keys but many do stop in Gainesville or in Ocala or in Orlando you should have seen it when all the Rainbow people used to come down through here I haven't heard of a rainbow gathering in years

[@jerryrupe1696]

Take a road trip south of Archer, between Archer and Williston. You find a homeless tent city in the pine tree groves. Kind of a shock to see them so far out away from anything.

[@thomasdaniel5308]

Gainesville and Tallahassee have been full of homeless for a while, but man it's getting worse. Ocala has really gone down hill too. Sad to see these once charming cities so filthy and rough...

[@thedirtybubble9613]

I last drove through the Ocala city limits like almost 4 years ago. I wasn't impressed.

[@nayaleezy]

looks like a Democrat city

[@vaabisvobear]

Based on your videos it seems like Orlando and anything north of Orlando is no where to live. Also seems like southwest lower Florida is an area to avoid as well. Miami is also off my list…

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

SWFL is good. Hurricane ruined alot. North Florida is bad

[@vaabisvobear]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Southeast Florida ABOVE Miami look very desirable. Yes it’s pricey but seems very well worth it…Your thoughts??

[@vaabisvobear]

@@KevinNordstrom Southeast Florida ABOVE Miami. All of that area looks good.

[@vaabisvobear]

@@KevinNordstrom that is the goal, my friend. Quality cost money. Most people think “oh I can’t afford that”. My mindset is “how can I MAKE A WAY to afford that! It will be done!!

[@williamcald738]

Drugs do it.

[@cobylyons7579]

they have little homeless cliques in gnv that will post up on each corner and at the end of the day theyll come together and bring in all the money they collected for the day

[@deanc.5984]

Cali is still worse, you tried pretty good to find the crappy hoods🤣, Merica!

What was that remarked u made about "they (children) should b more concerned about where the parents having them living"⁉️ They were children and at ur big age u made such a contemptuous comment like such, u should b more concerned that ur parents raised u to think that u r above/better than those kids (Bppl in general)👊🏾

[@Freshy_Jones]

I’m bout tired of you talking shit about north Florida towns, homie south Florida is 10 times worse.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

In what way? South Florida is by far safer, less homeless, overdose rates are 4-8X higher in your area than down here.. how are you better? All out cities are on beaches too..

[@steveshrum9758]

City of Gainesville clean up crews

Thanks DeSantis👈 😀😀😀

You mean Biden

[@85IROC-Z]

wow you drove around all the hoods . like you had planned your drive . yep just like any other city in Florida and other states you have lower income houses. you completely avoided any thing nice but butler plaza. i lived in daytona take a drive over there and drive if you like judging places. and let the woman drive shes doing great untell you keep side seat driving lol. but good video you showed you can make a video tell her how to drive and and talk about absolutely nothing . if you don't like what you see in the city id stay out of the small towns and putnam county all together lol.

[@vonhunter9914]

Buddy in the beginning is a cool dude he juggles at the lights I have gave him plenty of money and he actually accepts work for payment I’m from Gainesville you only go see the homeless like that by interstate since they passed a panhandle law they get arrested in certain parts of Gainesville for it so they do it towards outside city limits . It only look bad cause it’s congested in one area we have a whole homeless camp called Grace where homeless can camp and live .. you only see the homeless out in day time at night majority have actual places to stay the . You on archer rd it’s way more to Gainesville then what your showing and you talking about a city you actually know nothing about the city is actually great place

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

when you from south florida, everything else seams like crap. no disrespect, the only place i seen that rivals florida is california

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

i have not even found a restaurant i like in Gainesville

[@vonhunter9914]

You need to try Gainesville seafood and chicken and Mac’s drive thru . Swamp religion . It’s a lot of gems 💎 in Gainesville and I stayed down south to pompano and Miami I kno the god and the bad of both places and Gainesville isn’t half that bad as down south ion see how you could even compare the 2 lmao .. you seen one intersection with homeless people and it’s worse then anywhere .. well clearly you haven’t been a lot of places lol cause California got a whole district dedicated to homeless and a street named just for the homeless . Lol Gainesville is beautiful and no different than any other city you go to .. everywhere has homelessness but before you make a whole video talking bad about a city maybe you need to get a tour guide from someone who is actually from there so your opinions will actually hold weight then 💪💯💯💯💎🎯

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

@@vonhunter9914 I was just in california and saw all their cities, went to all the big homeless camps. if gainesville was the size of LA.. it would have more homeless.

[@tanikamiller216]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS reported this video for misinformation, misleading, and lies!!! Why were you riding in those neighborhoods go where your color resides. Truth your exploiting the poor or low income !!! If you and the uneducated person beside you would’ve took y’all “ recording for likes “ ass to haile plantation this video would’ve gotten less views that why you picked the less fortunate! I wish I could sue you , this why I could give the people you have on camera some money and not have them begging you bastard from the mid west

Was Gainesville ever anything to brag about? Not being a dick just a genuine question

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

😂

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Good hospital system and really good school system. Better than most of North FL in those categories.

[@FukinSkunk]

We have a punk rock music scene that is pretty noteworthy (the city has bred some big names), but let's just say that type of shit exists here for a reason. It all began with Roach Motel, with the track "Sunshine State"... a song about why living in Florida sucks....

[@AngusHenry09]

NO !!! Gainesville sucks, always has.

[@Ruralfloridatours]

East Gainesville where it's at. All the people moving in and tryna develop the small towns needa go

[@backloggedgamer9338]

Everyone always tells me the SE part of Gainesville is the rough ghetto part but we found a nice decent price house in a neighborhood that looks nothing like the ones in the video

I traveled on a road trip from FL to CA and back in 2019 then last year up to WI over to SD and back home to FL, I have seen a lot , and the homeless are everywhere , the southern states are poor and struggling , small towns dying . CA is more populated is all but the problem is everywhere including FL. Hell FL sends immigrants to other states , many states send their homeless on a bus to FL 😂 , it's warm all year long , works out great for homeless better then freezing snow. They give them a bus ticket to FL with some pocket change .Cities in FL hide them or try to , it interrupts with tourism or selling properties and rentals. Sarasota at one time was named the meanest city , they became very harsh with any loitering , and homeless and just made them move north of downtown. Those high rise condos are expensive the owner of condos , didn't want to see any poor homeless on their streets or sidewalks , Sarasota police got right on that mission , after all those wealthy property tax payers are more important for the city and downtown then the poor and homeless.. Just because one doesn't see them does not mean they don't exist. To those wealthy that have made their environment to only what they want to see vs opening eyes to reality, seem to feel far removed which does not help to solve the problem . Many are substance abusers and or mentally ill.
