Drugs are ruining almost every town in America....the world for that matter

[@Will-wb6nk]

Our handling of drug issues is just about as damaging as the drugs themselves. Trauma is the real gateway drug, and locking up people does absolutely nothing to treat the underlying issues. If we really cared about these people, we'd be focused on recovery rather than police busts.

[@christinacope562]

Poverty is the root cause, with no hope people turn to alcohol/drugs and crime.

[@scottowensbyable]

@@christinacope562 drugging will certainly lead to poverty. But I have worked with many men in a steel fabrication shop who made top wages and benefits, who have wrecked their lives with meth. I know at least two who's careers got them in the front office. While some had a sketchy past, all were talented and given opportunity for a good life.

[@christinacope562]

@@scottowensbyable absolutely agree with you. Those in poverty tend to get overwhelmed and overlooked, our nation has not dealt with the issue correctly in my opinion. That said, it was just normal for the[now gone]employees @GM to routinely go into the plant drunk/drugged and continue at home or local bar. Drug busts inside were common. Why that occurred with well paid with benefits had to have a root cause. The praise a few years ago for Hillbilly Elegy by J D Vance did well describing his family members(I disagree with him on some points he's made). There's some who just can't keep a dollar in their pocket. Many caught up in multigenerational dysfunction. People are strange. And my life just just nosedived this afternoon.

It really sucks to see how places in your state was destroyed by the outsourcing of jobs.

[@NamelessProducts]

Those jobs were always going to leave. An industrial economy naturally evolves into the more lucrative service economy built upon an educated populace. Columbus was able to see this coming and is now the booming economy center of Ohio. It wasn’t outsourcing. It was the lack of a diversified economy and the willful ignorance of not preparing for the future.

[@JS-jh4cy]

It easy to say diversify, but reality is if everyplace did that then diversity loses it effectiveness.

[@breckrichardson390]

How so? Diversify just means don't build the local economy around a single industry because if that industry declines then so does the city because there's nothing else to help pick up the slack and keep the economy running.

[@arjanpetersen]

I’m in no way a snowflake, but I found myself saying “wow cut us a break over here!” several times in this video lol. Ohio is a great state in my opinion. No crazy severe weather, no extreme wildlife predators, and you get to enjoy all four seasons; sometimes all in one day! I was born in Columbus and moved up to Lorain county (west side of Cleveland) around the age of 2 and have lived here ever since. Granted, I grew up in Grafton which is a small rural town that doesn’t even have a stoplight downtown anymore since they removed the only one recently. I LOVE it here. Yea, I can drive about 25 minutes and hit really bad parts of Lorain county, but being a local you just learn the areas to avoid, and honestly none seem to be so bad that I wouldn’t be comfortable at least driving my car through it. (With the exception of a few government housing projects) Crime happens everywhere. Ohio is truly a sight to be seen in many different areas and the people are neighborly and nice. I don’t foresee myself moving away any time soon! West side is the best side ;)

[@mwatkins0590]

ohio's weather is one of the worst states. grey winter with saltice slushies up to your knees for like 5 months of the year. Poor sunlight, constant grey skies. The summers have the bad aspects of summer, too. It might not be texas but in a lot of places (especially NE Ohio) its very humid so its just as uncomfortable. Very depressing weather. Also the amount of tornadoes is pretty high (though its not kansas). I will always miss the small town I grew up in up there, but when I reminisce its always springtime. There were some decent people, too (although its quite a mix of different types of people)

The first house I ever bought was in Youngstown Ohio for less then $20k. I still own that house. Its a tolerable commute to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Akron for work and although it still has plenty of poor areas, crime has been steadily dropping. The downtown area has cleaned up a good bit as well and they have a really nice metropark system, botanical gardens, two play houses, a symphony orchestra, a Warner Theatre, minor league hockey and baseball teams, a museum of american art and Youngstown State. Surrounding suburbs like Boardman, Poland and Canfield are pretty nice. If you work remote and are looking for an area that has a cheap cost of living to make your paycheck go further, Youngstown would be a good choice. The expense of sending your kids to private schools is nothing when you consider the housing and property tax savings.

[@legocat0306]

Yes, Youngstown is finally starting to realize that broader streets with more walking areas and greenery is the way to go like what they did to W Front St. Utilizing the older buildings instead of tearing them down into parking lots is a great start. It’s like Youngstown realized the Highway Act of 1956 had horrible consequences and they want to go bad to how it was in the 40s and 50s. The more people start living downtown, the more places will open up and the more the city will open up pedestrian traffic! Downtown is looking brighter than it was 10 years ago 😄

[@penforprez]

I lived in Youngstown for a couple of years, and I loved it. Nicest people anywhere. Cheapest place to live. Close to almost anything you might need. I keep trying to convince my girlfriend to pick up a cheap second home in Youngstown, but I haven't quite gotten there yet. 😂

I am a proud Boardman resident after moving here from Florida just over a year and a half ago. Thank you for referencing Boardman, Canfield, and Poland! These suburbs are absolutely wonderful places. I purchased a lovely and fairly sizeable Home here in Boardman outright, in Cash because it is immensely affordable here. The nice Homes here cost only a fraction of what they would cost where I am from, or many other places, for that matter. I am a young, single woman and feel quite safe in Boardman and the other suburbs that I pass through quite a bit. It is my forever Home. 🖤

I grew up in Dayton, Ohio during the 1950's and lived there until the 1980's and still have many friends and ties there. You need to update your view of the area. Millions of dollars have been invested in the downtown area with a great number of people returning downtown to live. The demand for redeveloped and new housing downtown remains strong,. This is also is having an impact on the surrounding neighborhoods as well. Wright Patterson Air Force Base is the largest single site employer in the state. NCR's leaving had an impact but when it moved to the Atlanta area, it was a shell of its former self. Health care providers are among the largest employers in the area around the University of Dayton and Miami Valley Hospital continues to redevelop and thrive. The former county fairgrounds across from Miami Valley Hospital is being redeveloped in cooperation with the University of Dayton. Dayton is continuing to evolve as it always has. While I no longer live there, my family and friends are a strong pull on my loyalties. Please consult the Dayton Daily News for more information.

The main difference between Europe (or other more socialist places) and the U.S. is that it's much more difficult to move between classes. If you're born poor in Europe, you remain poor. It's nearly impossible to ever own your own home, open a business, or even raise a family of more than one child and feel secure if you aren't born upper middle class in Europe. Many people have 2 or 3 college degrees (college is practically free!) but they can't find a job and so they're 40 and sharing a flat with their other unmarried friends, working a full-time job where it's just enough to pay the bills and go out on the weekends.

Going to the worst cities in every state is no way to give a true perspective on the entire state. I've lived all over the Midwest and even grew up in one of the cities featured in this lovely video. (I've lived in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Indiana.) Yes, Ohio has been hurt badly by the loss of manufacturing, but Columbus is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and the state has three cities with metro areas of over a million people. The lack of jobs leads to hopelessness and way too many people have turned to drugs to dull their pain, but that isn't the total story in Ohio.

@@randyspears9827 Ahh! Your from the good part of Ohio. I'm from Canton and it looks like a bomb went off. The city is investing in the Hall of Fame Village and hoping it pops of as the Disneyland of the Midwest. This is a mistake. It's took six years for it to even begin developing and it has been losing money and at one point ran out of it. Another thing to point out is that the Hall of Fame is not really a money maker. I mean it makes money compared to other Hall of Fames but it will take a while to make its money back on the Village. On the Hall of Fame weekend it brings in about $40M. While that is extra money the city needs it is not groundbreaking money. No body wants this. Canton itself is not very touristy. There is not much to do here. I don't think the city thought this through. During winter it will also lose any potential visitors to warmer spots such as Disney World. The city needs to invest in more important areas like manufacturing. Canton can also fix its transportation as the buses does not run on Sundays which hurts those in poverty. One more thing about the city is its startup incubator. Its laughable. "We have a beer keg guys! Come bring your talent here." Why would anyone want to launch a startup here with very little talent to be found as they are in Columbus, lack of VC funding and just a boring city life? Not to mention the gun shots going off every night. I know I'm not. I'm sorry for the rant but as you can see NE Ohio has a lot and I'm just done with Canton. I'm a Midwestern at heart but it seems that I'm going to move back overseas and HQ my US base in Seattle. I'm just happier in Asia and if I could I would HQ in the Midwest but it just doesn't have the same benefit as the East cost as listed above.

As someone form the East side of Dayton, this is true. A quick story from my time living in the East Side... one day my girlfriend and I were sitting inside our house on a sunny afternoon. She was napping on the couch and I was watching TV while she laid on my lap. I suddenly heard some heavy boots walking up my front porch and I looked at my front door, which was open(with the screen door closed) and I heard my screen door move. I saw an eye looking at me through the crack in my door and I stood up and went outside to see a little crackhead and his girlfriend standing on my front lawn. The p.o.s tried to say he was told he could cut my grass by someone that lived there, and then he changed his story and tried to say he lost his phone somewhere and was trying to find it after I told him no. IT GETS BETTER. I get my shotgun and tell the guy and his crackhead girlfriend to leave and all of a sudden, a silver truck pulls up and some BIG old man steps out and starts hollering at the crackhead and his girlfriend. They stole the old man's grandsons bike and the kid was in the truck to verify. He ripped the bike from the girls hands and threw it in his truck and immediately started yelling at the couple and they got heated in my front lawn, while I stand there with a shotgun. The couple run away and never came back. They were scoping out houses. I've seen to many tweakers up and down that old street. I'm glad I moved out finally.

People may say what they want, but personally, I love living and working in Cleveland. The people are extremely chill and friendly and everytime the passengers see me on the local railroad I work on within one of the suburbs there, they always smile and wave as I pull my train into the station and I of course return the favor of the same. Much better than anywhere I've ever been in my ex homestate of Maryland or anywhere on the east coast. Buckeye dog here for life.

Ohio is a outstanding place to live. I lived in Newark, OH for almost ten years. Places like Granville and Pickerington were a overall dream to live and work. Ohio is and will always be a outstanding state. Oh, by the way, West Virginia may not be on anyones top list of great places to live, but Id pick a decent town in WV over some no good coastal city, ANY DAY!

West Virginia is beautiful, with its woods and rolling hills and mountains. And it's got a really strong progressive movement growing there, with some very excellent cross-class, cross-racial alliances, bringing better paying green jobs.

I live in Dayton. I go to many of these towns you talk about. Looks to me you picked the worse areas to do this review. Did you mention that Middletown has the balloon festivals, car show, wonderful shops & eating venues. Did you mention that Chillicothe has very charming Bed & Breakfast establishments. Springfield has musical festivals for deaf & hard of hearing.. the fact of the matter is that drugs , alcohol, criminal behavior is in every town. Did you mention that their are many loving & kind people living here. The fact is, that everywhere you mention has a lot to offer..I love Dayton & the surrounding towns..💕

[@dinkydpirate5592]

You can thank our government for the decline in these and many more cities in Ohio. You can also thank the big businesses for keeping out other businesses that wanted to more into those areas. Even if you get a college degree one still has to leave thier home town because thier aren't enough jobs period.

[@msbeautyboss3784]

That is because most of the funding goes to the law enforcement. That is why people want to defund the police to put those funds back into programs to help build the communities.

Walmart is known for keeping other buissnes out. Wapakoneta OH, Kroger was going to build a super center. Closest Kroger was 20 miles away. It was deemed it would have a monopoly on grocery stores. A year later a Walmart goes in. There is a Walmart in every city with a population over 10,000 around here. Yet they "don't have a monopoly". Kroger has a store about every 40 miles. Walmart has two stores 7 miles north, one 7 miles south hit all larger towns there is a Walmart Dollar Generals seem to be every 10 miles.

[@Mottleydude1]

Depends where you live. I’ve been to all the towns mentioned. I lived in two of them (Middletown and Dayton...The Capital of Kentucky). I agree the all suck. But for each of those there’s a Columbus or Delaware or Dublin or Powell or Mason and a plethora of small towns and villages that are charming places to live like Greenville, Celina, Marysville, Bellefountain, etc,. The issue in Ohio is that to earn a decent living you need to have a marketable skill. In that respect our public school system in Ohio is failing us. By economic resources available Ohio should rank in the top ten in attainment of a post secondary education but we actually rank around 25th. The top States are achieving between 30-40%. Ohio is around 25%. Improving that statistic by only 5# would go a long way to help the economic woes we have in some of our post industrial cities and in rural communities. Keep in mind by post secondary education I don’t mean just College. I mean Trade, Technical and Artisan schools too.
