[@rrowell4163]

The answer begins with the landlords who no longer live in these areas They buy the properties & only care about maximizing profit even if it means they & the tenants running down the property .The more tenants crammed into one property the more rent to fatten the landlords pockets for the next purchasing of another property to rent ,the cycle continues .They will cut corners to make as much money as possible .When the tenants leave especially due to falling behind with rent the landlords simply dump the old & trashed fridges & mattresses etc & replace with pretty much old & cheap second hand furniture Instead of taking the old trashed furniture to recycling centres the landlords drive around early hours of morning and dump it on street corners If they renovate the property they often won't pay for a skip to place the rubbish & old furniture in They dump things anywhere during the night The owners of shops also drive around and dump there rubbish - because they don't want to pay the extra fees to have there own rubbish collected .They also rent part of the shops to tenants .Go figure if landlords put cleanliness over profit they would not rent to mucky tenants Both tenants ,landlords & shop owners are chiefly behind the dumping & fly tipping .It only takes a small amount of tenants ,landlords & local shop owners to make a road or area look unkempt.

PLEASE go to Liverpool, Bootle, Beatrice Street, Bedford Road, Hawthorne Road by kirkdale train station. It has rats, flytipping, the ally ways and rammed with stuff. It’s horrendous. There are all aslyum seekers there Labour shud be ashamed. It’s probably worse than this. Binbags, mattresses and beer cans. Flooding.

aye up! can't believe you've travelled down south. birmingham is pretty grim. i live about 10 miles from brum near wolverhampton and the surrounding towns are just as bad. a lot of unemployment, druggies, chavs, ex cons and dole dossers around here. it's always been a bit of a poverty area but over the last 5-10 years it's gotten worse. i work in a town a few miles away it has a large ethnic community; rubbish and stuff dumped everywhere. not so great britain anymore.

[@honestplaces]

Yeh feel there is an underlying drug problem. Kinda feel people like staying unemployed around there.

[@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel]

@@honestplaces most definitely, mate. a lot of people are better off on the dole and/or they've just never worked so don't know anything else; it's a generational trait. in a block of 10 flats, i'm the only one working. in the other 6 blocks it's probably 75-90% non working people. it really is bad around the west midlands and the black country now. a lot of the industry is gone which led to high unemployment, apathy, drink, drugs, mental health issues etc...but there are those who do something about it and those who don't. keep up the great content. appreciate it. p.s. that guinness pour was shocking.

Yeah well done filming Handsworth following the trend like Bald and Bankrupt or Joe Fish and Backpacker Ben, Handsworth is NOT a synonym for Birmingham just ONE bad part of the city so your video is not an "honest place" reflection.

You only ever film fractions of the places you go to.
