Somehow the palm trees and birds chirping make it seem nicer. So nice you can enjoy a nice walk with your baby.

[@pinkboutique8544]

Yes I use to stay out there it’s definitely not bad trust me

[@jossette1978]

My very 1st apartment was over there $350 for a one bedroom. Was new to Jacksonville and didn't know the area. Lasted 3 month, came home to police tape around complex, moved to NAS area and now at the beaches.

[@brooklynopinion2946]

Looking to move there where are the good safe areas

[@miketyler677]

What you think of Jacksonville?

[@julieonwubiko3478]

My girl your a beautiful black women your blessed thank god for what you have just know life gets better 💓

[@passionderamus]

Amen

[@Jill-d6c]

How is it they can sit all day in front of a store and have money to live and not have a job?

[@Jill-d6c]

“Lack of Resources what can you do,” you move to resources, you consider yourself a resource, take a course on the computer, at home or a library, turn the tv off, get a dumb job, walk to the job, let the husband take care of the baby in his off hours, so you can go out. Or don’t get pregnant with some bum who doesn’t stay around for his own kid. Save and get out of there, then get a better job but ALWAYS WORK. You say they’re black, more whites are poor and on welfare than blacks. But not as a %. I’m not talking to you personally, I’m answering the question generally. It’s a real easy answer. Only hard to put into practice due to years of not getting off the couch. Human beings have been doing this for thousands of years, that is, finding resources when resources aren’t under their nose.

[@MelleIndie]

Thank you for sharing! I understand same up here where I live cops in the back of ALL my videos, dudes hand out all day at the convenience stores, ppl fighting pulling out knives girrlllll it's crazy but as long as they keep they distance I mind my business LOLOL good to see ya!

[@frantzfanon7621]

That's the cleanest ghetto I've ever seen. You should go to Baltimore and be thankful that you live in Jacksonville.

[@ChristenAlysia]

Baltimore is Horrible, I’m from here and I don’t live in a ghetto area but when I drive to those areas I cry

[@GregTurner-ks4ii]

He'll yeah, I lived close to Baltimore, previously SE DC and now in Jax. Jax is waaaassaay better. I've seen air strikes in the military on nicer places than west Baltimore. What a do do hole

[@iceandflames]

Jacksonville Florida still got a lot of country areas that’s why I move to south Florida u got cities like Hallandale Beach and Fort Lauderdale that’s more appealing.

[@jonathanwallace6667]

I was stationed in Jacksonville at NAS Cecil fld back in 87. West side in the Confederate PT apartments off Blanding Blvd. I really loved living there going to Jax beach ⛱️🏖️, up n down 1-95 hitting beaches all way down to Miami. My apts had boat slips and rented canoes, zero entry pool n clubhouse for the adult side no kids and a really nice weight room. My apt had a direct river front view with benches under the trees to sit out n watch the sails boats on Saturday mornings and hot air balloons flying over

[@kayw1771]

I see a couple of people saying not to move to Jax but some people may not have a choice like myself. My job requires me to relocate periodically and next stop is Jax. I’ve done extensive research because I did hear about how Jacksonville FL is very ghetto and that’s just not my scene or lifestyle. I can assure you all who may have to be in Jax that there is more to Jax than the projects. I found a couple of gems on the east side of the river near San Marco. They also have a couple nice places near the St. John’s Town Center. Too, with it being a military town, you may be able to find a decent house to rent in the handful of subdivisions from a sailor who’s gone to their next location.

[@passionderamus]

I agree

[@dianeleandre7229]

I’m moving there and like it

[@Psy6o]

Jacksonville is a wonderful place as long as you don't deal in the dope game and stay out the street life you'll never have a problem

[@richardpuckett8127]

I have lived all across America and in other countries. And the only bad thing about Jacksonville? Is you have to own a reliable car, because of the lack of public transportation. And Kat Williams is correct about all the projects being spread out over town. Jacksonville is a decent, and somewhat affordable place to live still.

[@twaye30]

I live in Jax. I live near Commonwealth. Jax has a lot of really nice areas if you can afford it like Bartram Park, River City, Gate Parkway, Deerwood, San Marco, Ortega, Riverside Ave. Surrounding areas that are nice as well nearby include ( Nocatee, Silverleaf and St. Johns County)

[@blindgoddiss43_12]

It looks so much cleaner and nicer over there, I live on the west side of Jacksonville and there’s trash everywhere

[@YungP32208]

[@glouponem463]

Me and my husband are born and raised in Ohio. This is confirmation to move to west palm beach not Jacksonville. I couldn’t decide because I had a job offer in both places. Thank you for this video. I’m cool on living in the ghetto.

[@prmama93]

Wow this takes me back. I lived here in the late 90s on holly bell dr & went to that school. It used to be Justina road elementary. The neighborhood looks so different now.

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

I grew up in that area from 76-80. Our house was in University Park, my school was Ft Caroline Elementary, and my day care was at Justina/Merrill. That Justina area was never anything to write home about and always felt a little run down… even 40 years ago.

[@willie417]

Well when you know, you know, and I know that Merrill Rd is about 1,000 plus feet in the other direction too

Thank you for sharing! Canadian here and only government type housing here is native reserves we are not really allowed on in the country areas and it’s disgusting if you do have to drive thru there. You and your baby are beautiful and it’s not bad at all there! I imagine night is different but nice to hear the birds and see the park. Don’t let no one get you down do what you need to do :)

[@passionderamus]

Thanks for watching

[@adanam6377]

It looks like a regular neighborhood. Sure there are challenges but stigmatization by society does not help these communities. It affects everything - people, real estate values, and etc. Sad but this one does not appear hopeless.

[@Missmimi6733]

Thanks for posting this I’m moving to public housing in the area and it was nice to see the actual area

[@jonathanwallace6667]

I remember them tearing down the projects or starting in 92 near the expressway and starting to gentrify as i was transferring out.

[@mikehancock6280]

I lived on Tall Pine lane back in the 80’s. It was pretty rough back then.

[@lasaviabrown7920]

You have such a amazing, humble, and content attitude stay positive, stay prayed up, and stay faithful to God and he is truly going to bless you iam praying for you my little sister i thought about Florida miami to be exact but unless iam making atleast $300K per year and up i dont stand a chance those people in miami would laugh at my $90k a year making ass lol i also thought about moving to other areas of Florida but 2 things my sister i cant do alligators and rattlesnakes and they are everywhere in all cities of Florida have you encountered them yet

[@streetsofgold4310]

I live near the Tallahassee Fl area, and the snake population is not bad at all. Rarely ever see a snake. I can relate to your fear of snakes because I was interested in moving to Arizona or Nevada, but I can't do it because of my intense fear of Scorpions. 😢

[@jeanheard4615]

Section 8 rent water food stamps are all paid by us working people but when I retired I could not get food stamps and I told them I fed children I did not know I had and paid some of everybody rent and I worked for 35 years cause my social security and my pension was too much

[@bridgettewaters7069]

Jacksonville is a good place to live it's some of the bad people that's here it's bad all over the world 🌍 just have to be careful watch out for yourself and stay to yourself and ask God 🙏 for he's protecttion that not just for Jacksonville that's for every were you move to Jacksonville is a Bless place we all who live here we never had a hard Strom to wash us out like new Orleans did sad 😭 that happen to they city

[@bamahammer3660]

I lived in those same spartments in the 1980s while in the military when the area was extremely nice and quiet. I paid $350 per month in rent when the Cesery Company owned all of the apartments. When Cesery sold the apartments in the 1990s to another company they started accepting Section 8 applicants and that is when that area went down hill.

[@jamiemorgan3649]

This area is not that bad what so ever compared to Northside.

[@peterholt8724]

Justina was not always the hood. It was a middle class upscale area when it was built. Since certain changes to the area many of the original occupants have moved out due to crime. So don’t complain about Justina the current occupants have made it a hood.

[@tatiyanab8758]

I pray you stay safe. I worry about you posting where you live. It's too many weirdos out here. You got a roof over your head. A true blessing.

[@worldwarz9317]

I personally could never live in a place like that. No matter where the ghetto was located in USA. High quality people, intelligent ones just don't live in places like that when they understand all that comes along with that environment and the mindset of the people living there. Anyone who has any respect for themselves and their children will do everything to not be there and put their kids at risk for the psychological trauma and hiddens dangerous that come from conditioning kids in that sort of environmental upbringing. It's at best domestic terrorism but black Americans call it black culture. I am not trying to look down on anyone but the fact remains I for myself as a black man don't belong in a place that toxic. Knowing several languages, having multicultural values, traditions, knowledge, interests, culinary skills and perspectives on the world nobody living there wouldn't even understand or knows about. I would definitely be an outcast.

Well it’s false that Mexicans live in Jacksonville. Mexicas are mainly in the west part of the US. (Except for Chicago) The demographics of Jacksonville are are actually about 51% white 31% African American 10% Hispanic and about 5% Asian. But out of the 10%Hispanic population, most are Puerto Rican. They make about 7% of the Hispanics. And the other 3% of the Hispanics are other. There’s actually less that 1% Mexicans here but I guess other races of people call ANY Hispanic person Mexican. It’s weird.

[@kameralkutie5594]

I live in an Hispanic county here in Georgia and it’s actually the largest county of Hispanic people in Georgia, so I don’t know where you are getting this information from. Florida definitely has a large population of Hispanic people, so why would that be weird to see a Hispanic person in Jacksonville?🤔
