That Canada Goose is probably responsible for 1/2 of the crime in Sandwich, LOL.

[@secretsofthepastsparahisto2993]

Hey bro i was born and raised here in Windsor i can walk down any street in my city and feel safe there are no bad areas just bad people my city is struggling right now with homeless and drugs so instead of putting neighnorhoods in my city down help them .

[@livinginwindsor]

Hey certainly not trying to put the city down, any recommendations for what i could do to promote it more?

[@SuperNintendoChalmers_]

How is he supposed to “help”? The west and downtown core is riddled with crackheads, unless he gets rid of them, there isn’t much helping lmao

[@AmB39]

Dude, areas with lots of people “struggling” like that means the area is bad and dangerous. You can have sympathy for people while also being wise enough to avoid areas filled with them.

[@3katfox]

​@@livinginwindsor Maybe stop being a part of the problem and helping predatory landlords and help people who just want a home to live in? You DO realize that the more rentals a city has the higher its crime rates right?

[@Ashton-qc9jo]

@@3katfox not everyone can afford to buy a house bro we can barely afford to rent the room we in stfu

[@Sharperthanu1]

After dark every night I walk all over the downtown area in total safety.I've been doing this most nights for several years.What this bougois Is not telling you is the homeless people in the downtown area DONT BOTHER YOU unless you're such an idiot that you hang out with them (and I'm not talking about a social worker who's being PAID to do so)).The same goes for the Sandwich street area.After dark I have walked down Sandwich street to get to Riverside many times( and so have many high class,highly educated University of Windsor students) without EVER becoming a victim of ANY crime.The guy speaking in this video is some east end bourgeois who hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

[@livinginwindsor]

Hey, thanks so much for the response! I actually discussed with a police officer and he was the source of my information for the downtown portion of this video, so id say thats a credible source! They may not bother you but they will break into your car which has happened to several people I know. I grew up on Harrison but I appreciate your assumptions. I can do a follow up video on this one maybe make it more clear why i chose these areas !

[@haterslineup]

i lived in sandwich town for 3years and never had an issue. i walked at night without issue

[@jefff5905]

Great video. Informative.

[@randyt3558]

Fair. As a Windsorite, if i were giving advice to someone moving here with money. The poorest neighbourhoods have the highest crime, and the lowest prices for real estate. Rents are relatively low in those areas as well. Every city has these areas. There's also the Droullaird area, Remington Park, and Little River (used to be The Villages of Riverside).

[@ProMountainBiker]

Do you know that the new bridge isn’t going to be next to the old one?

[@David_.1987]

You should do more research than just checking facts I live in the sandwich town for 25 years of my life and had nothing bad happened to me other then common crimes you will find anywhere else in Canada it's really not that bad

[@silviaaiello2687]

I agree some of the most horrific murder crimes have also happened in our suburbs

[@dimoji4770]

I lived near downtown, some bummers broke into the building underground garage and then into my car. The police did not catch them with several cameras. AVOID downtown.

[@livinginwindsor]

Yes, petty theft is very high downtown and people will Not hesitate to smash windows.

[@Pyaemia1]

Why would you use pictures of the bridge that isn't being built? The new bridge doesn't go anywhere near sandwich, it's way south closer to the expressway. I'm curious why crime rate is the only reason you list for these areas. Is there not more reasons you may want to go to or avoid a particular neighbourhood?

[@user-bn7lm3pz3y]

[@99gagtx]

Your info on the new bridge and the boarded up homes on Indian Road (underneath the old Ambassador Bridge) is out dated and incorrect. You're showing the Ambassador Bridge Company's concept drawings for a new bridge. That is not the one being built. The new Gordie Howe bridge is currently being built about 3 kms west of the old bridge. And the boarded up homes on Indian Road have long since been torn down, and is being used as empty green space by the Ambassador Bridge Co.

[@livinginwindsor]

Hi I appreciate the feedback, I actually went out and took this footage directly under the ambassador bridge, on Indian. Im well aware of the location of the new bridge, if you watched the whole video you would listen to Me discuss how this will likely bring improvements to sandwich town.

[@99gagtx]

@@livinginwindsor I did watch the whole video. Good luck, and have a great day.

[@SuperNintendoChalmers_]

When I lived downtown a few years ago, my car got robbed and stolen and the police called me back 3 days later after I had found my car myself lmao

[@m.a.2282]

Lots of scare tactics with no breakdown of data. Crime can happen anywhere but to imply these are no-go areas that experience crime on a daily basis is false. He starts the video out stating “crime” statistics then they become “crime” and “violent crime”. So which one is it???

[@user-hb3zu3wd7s]

the city should take your post down. that will help the problem.

[@weatherboi]

Well researched, thanks for posting. I have lived most of my life in the Windsor/Essex County area, but moved from there in 2013 to Cambridge, Ont. but plan on someday moving back to Windsor as it is still "home" to me. I would chose anywhere east of Walker Road, Riverside preferably. Never hear it put as "Sandwich town", and find it interesting this being a good investment opportunity area, glad you pointed that out.

[@livinginwindsor]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@papi_sativa]

Just read the comments, I'm not even sure if I'm gonna even watch this shit. But let me say I am from #Chicago and I plan to visit Windsor, especially Sandwich now that I know the history of it being a historically Black neighborhood. I learned a lot about the history of Windsor and Detroit regarding the underground railroad. 💪🏿✊🏿

[@livinginwindsor]

The underground railroad extends far past just sandwich town in our community. Theres actually a museum in puce of the underground railroad that educates you about a lot of history in the area!

[@DecentDoge]

whenever i go to sandwich town it just feels sad

[@district5198]

I laughed out loud when I saw this video. Moved here from Detroit. Let me be perfectly clear here. Windsor no matter where you are is safe. Some areas may be run down, but perfectly safe to walk. Now Detroit on the other hand is NOT, and there you have areas that are not safe. But this is Windsor NOT Detroit. And if your going to do videos on Windsor at least be local… Best part about Windsor is it is NOT Toronto. Canada stops at London, and that is the way Windsorites want it to be.

[@randallgoulet1550]

Hell yes. Well said!

[@livinginwindsor]

Hey, thanks so much for the feedback! I’ll definitely consider it. As mentioned in the description this is solely my opinion. Backed by data from the Windsor police department (violent crime data specifically). I never said toronto was the best part about windsor, I actually enjoy windsor being the 3.5h away from toronto for a number of reasons! I can assure you I am very local as I have lived here my entire life. Check out some more content and you’ll see im actually a pretty knowledgeable guy about this place😉

[@vasiliasprakis8129]

Well obviously Detroits worse. They have a million people and we have 350 thousand. Been a lot of shootings recently tho, definitely not as much as Detroit but still a considerable amount.

[@7n1s7er]

Yet nearly all shootings this year happened in Forest Glade and east windsor. What about the homelessness in the parking lot of lowes and Walmart? This video is wrong

[@upholstery1995]

Yeah I was thinking the same. I'm actually from Miami, Florida. Born and raised. 26 years old. I moved to a city called Penticton recently, but am considering moving to Windsor. Supposedly crime rates are bad in Penticton. But having been in Penticton and me being from Miami (born and raised) where it can be rough... I yawn at the "crime rates" 😂 and I'm a person of color. I guess it's the same in Windsor.

The city is not doing enough to help people with mental health and addiction problems the whole country and world is not doing enough. our city is not as bad as some of these other big cities with tent encampments everywhere but for a small city and being born and raised here iv never seen so many lost souls walking around with grocery carts full of there belongings etc...why has it come to this?these people need help and they need to be housed and theres not enough government housing projects which is ridiculous and anyone saying noone should get hand outs wouldnt you rather your tax dollars went to cleaning the streets and helping people its very disturbing seeing people sleeping on a sidewalk or in the parking lot of our grocerie stores i remember this was always something we seen when we crossed the border to detroit and it was shocking to see it became we weren't used to seeing it in our city now here we are

[@livinginwindsor]

its a very big problem all cities are facing. With the rise in fentanyl, tranq and opioids it has really effected the well being of cities. Its terrible to see people struggle the way they do. Unfortunately that is powers higher than you or I can handle that need to be addressing those issues. Building a battery plant or new bridge wont help the hundreds ( maybe thousands) that are struggling with this.

[@AmB39]

I don’t see sandwich town getting much better anytime soon. It just seems to be locked in as a low income, lower quality of person part of the town. Which sucks. I hope I’m wrong because I love how historic it is, how it’s right on the water and it’s potential in general, but unless you start kicking the people out who live in the run down areas, not much will change.

[@131313griffin]

As a former sandwich town property owner (over 30 yeras) I don't see the values going up as the new bridge just like the old bridge going through the area does not bring any extra people eating or shopping.I also went to the U of W and it has been expanding for half a century.

[@skatemetal5062]

Best area would be south end or walkervill

[@AmB39]

Yep

[@taylorfortier666]

Bad take my guy

[@RewStein4039]

[@sk8rjockid]

I live in "midtown" off of Vic. Ave. It's urban but far enough out of the core to be surprisingly quiet and extremely walkable. Yes, you pretty much have to secure anything that is "take-able," so my patio furniture pieces all have a flimsy chain running through them (which only would slow someone down but that's enough where nothing's been ever been taken in over ten years). I would recommend *heavily* locking down bikes (and keeping them in sight as an extra precaution), or they are likely to be, eventually, nabbed (in one to five years). On the other glass half-full hand, whether it's a broken coffee maker, a wobbly chair, or an old futon frame, if you want to unload an item (and do I mean *any* item--even if you can't imagine why anyone would ever want it), placing it on the side of the alley will get it gone within a mere few hours and save you hassle of ever having to go to the dump. Digging a little deeper into the crime stats with a little extra nuance, far greater residential density can both mean more crimes but also more surveilling eyes to thwart and/or catch crooks. Our neighbourhood has both an informal and private community Facebook page for mass communication if someone notices something odd going on, to remind people to move their parked car on the first of the month to avoid ticketing, a photographic pet registry (so we can identify a lost pet or to whom an animal companion belongs), to strengthen our community connections with each other, and announce events, clean-up initiatives, etc. In the far more population sparse sub- and exurbs, the number of crimes reported is much lower than in the far more densely jam packed downtown. So, I'd be interested in the per capita crime rate based on residential density in, for example, making comparisons between wards; eighty crimes committed in a month in an area of 20 000 people (0.004%) vs. 50 with a population of 10 000 (0.005%) would actually, despite commonly held impressions, make a downtown resident less likely to be a target of crime. There are also more people and eyes on the street; the more foot traffic, the fewer crimes get committed. In a quiet, low density neighbourhood, a perfidious ne'er-do-well can get around all over an area without ever being seen or encountering another person. In our neighbourhood, with our foot traffic, observant and communicating residents, installed network of solar powered motion detector lights, cameras, and Ring doorbells, not so much. Anyway, just my two cents. windsorps.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/97664fba2c5d451eb7b3a7b8a51b6af7 www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2020001/article/00001/windsor-eng.htm

[@livinginwindsor]

Great insight into exploring crime on a per capita basis. Maybe if i went by ward it would paint a better picture. Thats great to hear how much pride yourself and the neighborhood has to create and protect eachother like that. I know a lot of communities around the city have their smaller group in order to help. Thanks so much for the feedback, I’ll definitely keep it in mind!

[@livinginwindsor]

I mainly made this based off the windsor polices crime info! It was statistic driven and not by my feel! I think Roseville is safe but maybe because its smaller so the concentration of crime was more. Opposed to fountain blue thats much larger

[@Beast777Mode]

these videos arent of Windsor and make the downtown area seem way worse than it is.

the only way windsor will improve is to replace council including mayor dillhole. the university also need accountability. students take over city streets with parking because the university pricing is ridiculous. also cockroaches and rats are an issue.

[@haterslineup]

also ~ its a town full of addicts ~ most functions revolve around alcohol. horrible considering how many people come here for rehab. the city isnt investing either. they are wasting $$ on nonsense while ignoring the real issues. enwin needs audited~ highest utilities in canada and then they donate alot for the christmas lights ~ thats more important than windsorites affording utilities 🥴
