While Sarasota is known for wealth and opulence, there are regular neighborhoods. Gentrification is slowly pushing the working class out as well. These are the real streets of Sarasota, an amazing city.

I was in St. Augustine a week ago. There were many homeless on the streets where the shops and restaurants are located downtown. I passed a man with his shirt off, he was very thin, he had sores all over his body. I was shocked and I passed him without stopping. I felt so bad after. I cannot believe this is America.

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Florida's unrelenting archenemy has always been the carpetbagger; those individuals and corporate entities that seek to pillage and degrade our beautiful landscape for individual or personal gain. From the Reconstruction era through to present day, Florida continues to suffer from their self-serving schemes that are all too often aided and abetted by our own government officials. In this episode, we look at a recent example as well as see a few past instances where they descended upon the peninsula en mass as we examine some of the state's rich agricultural history and how that applies to our Cowhunters Unlimited specialty foods.
If ever hard times fell on me I believe Florida would be better place to be homeless in winter.

Same with California homless like warmer climates but that's only part of the problem. Compared to northern states Florida lacks shelters. Heck if I was homless I'd go to Michigan they put homeless in hotels there easily. In Florida it's a lottery to get any type of shelter because there is just too many homeless and too little funds to help them.

I am sure COVID created a large increase in the homeless population and that the greed in US housing market and apartment rentals has played a role. But I also think that our newer generations thinks that its ok not to work hard, that its ok to be fat, that its ok live in your parent’s basement at 30, 40, etc. I dont mean that we should make fun of anyone that is have difficult times in our lives. We should help if we can. Having homeless on the streets of America is unacceptable.

I grew up in Sarasota, in the 80's. It was always diverse, I had friends from all groups and I'm half Puerto Rican myself. I loved growing up there. We were poor, didn't have a\c, our rental house was falling apart around us... But Sarasota was a great place to grow up, my family is still there, I just moved a little further south. Our current neighborhood is diverse as well, which was something I missed when I lived up north for a few years. My childhood neighborhood is one of the older ones in srq, not far from where this video was taken. My bike may have been stolen, but all the neighbors chipped in to help my mom get me a new one. It was a good place.
