Richest vs. Poorest Neighborhood in Pittsburgh

[@robertbennett2586]

My dads family are from North Braddock, I remember as a kid in the mid 60's visiting relatives, riding a bicycle on brick roads and the hills would beat ya up.. Great granny had a 3 story corner house. Memories.......

[@waynechernick3526]

My father grew up there. Graduated Scott high school.

WAKE UP PITTSBURGH. Just moved back here from the west coast to get away from the homeless crisis and drug issues. Was SHOCKED to see the homeless issue starting here. You HAVE to get on top of this NOW! Once there are a few THOUSAND in the city like we had in Seattle it’s too late!!! ❤❤❤❤ GET ON IT!!!

It's called cronie capitalism

@@ElldanielRice it’s FAR more than cronie capitalism friend. 🙏❤️

Its ironic that 9/10 times i see a harris sign its in the wealthier neighborhoods

[@Kelvis.pov4]

THIS! It’s because those wealthy people don’t care that costs are up. They can afford it. I’ve heard people say - I’ll pay a little more for bread milk and eggs if it means that we don’t have a mean guy in office. But they aren’t thinking about the many people who live paycheck to paycheck and can’t afford these higher prices. Because it doesn’t effect them, they don’t really care.

@ this reply is why you smug idiots lost

I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my whole life. When I was a kid I would see a handful of homeless people. It breaks my heart to see what it’s grown into. Ive watched tent after tent be put up. The tents are all over the city. There are a couple right by my office. The specific part where you are at was just a trail for biking and walking for the longest time, not one tent. I wish there was more I could do, but I’m living paycheck to paycheck at the moment. I love Pittsburgh, there are good people here. I worked as a server for a while and many who visited our city always had positive things to say about the people who live here and that they really like Pittsburgh and will be back. I hope one day our city can be restored. And maybe instead of them giving our resources to migrants, they can help these Americans that are living ON THE STREETS. We can’t help other countries people until we help our own.

As recent as May 2023, I used to run along the location where the homeless encampment is now present. It is along a pleasant trail that runs along the Mon River, but there was not a single tent up at that point. To say the homeless presence has increased is a gross understatement - it has had exponential explosion.

[@ItaliaJP400]

That's Allegheny County jail, right next to the homeless camps. That's crazy.

[@Kelvis.pov4]

Yes it is. And since it’s so populated with tents there the tents extend all over the city. The river walk trail has so many tents. Tents under overpasses. Pretty much anywhere where they can fit them. Breaks my heart to see this happening to my city. Pittsburgh truly is a great city, and I hope we can restore its greatness someday soon.

There’s a number of incorrect things in this video. 1) Braddock and Sewickley Heights aren’t in Pittsburgh. They are both suburbs of the City of Pittsburgh, with Braddock being an old steel town in the Mon Valley and Sewickley Heights being a wealthy northern suburb. 2) To be correct, the City of Pittsburgh has 90 neighborhoods. The least wealthy is Northview Heights, which is a public housing project on Pittsburgh’s northside. Median household income is around $16,000 and it also has the highest family poverty rate at 72%. Point Breeze is the wealthiest neighborhood which is in the City’s East End. It has a median household income around $125,000 and one of the lowest family poverty rates in the city (2%). 3. Like most U.S central cities, the City of Pittsburgh is a democratic stronghold, as are most of its bordering suburbs and most of the steel towns and cities outside of Pittsburgh in the Mon Valley. In the City of Pittsburgh, all but a few precincts went majority Biden in 2020. You’ll see some Trump signs in city limits, particularly in some of the working class and middle class white neighborhoods in the South and West, but even those still always go majority Democrat. So the notion that you all didn’t see Democrat signs in the city doesn’t match up with what I see (born and raised in south Pittsburgh). Also, wealthier neighborhoods always tend have higher voter engagement so makes sense you see signs there, regardless of the political leaning.

Why be that anal about this? By “Pittsburgh” they mean the Pittsburgh area 🙄

[@jomamasophat8973]

Love u guys! Great stories!

[@nadogrl]

The steelworkers make $80,000 a year, but not many people want to work for it.

[@DrewBraaten]

7:00 "this guy's got integrity" 😄

[@jacobrivera7224]

Great journalist 👏

[@mikewise1612]

The irony .. 😞 Even someone like me who is “ok” (career, home, vehicles) I don’t like seeing any human living either way to be honest : Be humble ; choose to be kind. Life is short..

[@cloudnationmedia8326]

Did he say $8.3 million for the homeless crisis? 0:32 Praying for Pittsburgh because geesh...🥺😳

[@Mart77]

For example California has spent a stunning $17.5 billion trying to combat homelessness in the period of 2018-2022, But somehow the overall amount of homeless people has increased.

Come back in January to March, they won't be there. It gets cold as F.

[@Famdockevin1]

So weird - I thought the Super Governor, Josh a Shapiro, was doing an awesome job in Pennsylvania. Obviously not…

[@lesal.1373]

Ironic that the homeless encampment is next to the County Jail! When Pittsburgh was a blue collar town, it was mostly Democratic. Now? I have no idea. Pittsburgher for Harris/Walz 2024.

[@peterjones5243]

You're part of the problem.

[@johnguzak171]

You need to do a little more research then. Your mindset is exacerbating the problem

[@apersoninwhite1]

Hate to break it to you, harris/walz will just ship more illegal-made-legal immigrants your way to put up some more tents using the free money given by them 😂

[@nadogrl]

How are people so ignorant? MAGA❤

[@nightowl5475]

You know what’s really mind boggling about your video that I learned? You show us the absolute down and out poor people living in tents underneath a freeway and I can’t help but feel terrible for their ordeal. Then you show us an area with extreme wealth. One house is a mansion with 17 bathrooms. The guy is in prison for tax evasion. The mansion has all those empty rooms just sitting there day after day. I bet you that mansion could house all those people living under the bridge. They would have a residence and it would be easier for them to apply for a job. It seems so ridiculous for an empty mansion to just sit there when it could be housing those people and keeping them warm in the winter time. There are people that need money and we have other people that have more money than they need. It just seems so unbalanced.

[@nadogrl]

Except those people are living outside for the freedom…they don’t want any rules.

I know this is an A-Hole thing to do but they're pronounced "Braddick" and "Car-Nay-Gee".

[@charredolive]

Reasons to live in the surrounding counties and not Allegheny lol

[@ElldanielRice]

You said you didn't see any Democratic signs that you got to sewickley that's amazing can I sing a thousand to one Harris vs Trump signs.. unfortunately those outside Pittsburgh also done they vote against their own needs
