I was homeless and addicted to dope on those streets for over 10 years. Hopped on the train to South Florida in 2012 with nothing but the clothes on my back. I finally escaped that black hole and have been clean and sober ever since. Now I travel the world performing music and sharing my testimony. Sometimes you gotta change people, places and things. 🙏🙏

I cannot imagine living in this neighborhood. No grass, no bushes or flowers, so few trees, cramped, ill-kept, crowded with cars. Maybe lots of children live indoors. No toys seen, no bike or swing. Depressing, bleak. God help the youth who must defeat hopelessness and escape.

Imagine growing up there and thinking that's just the way things are.

Every bad area has grown men just hanging out on the street during working hours

I grew up in Brazil . In the slums. With very little infrastructure. Dirt roads . But I felt safe there . Because people took care of each other . It was a village . We were broke but we were proud of our little house . With a slab cement floor and no doors in the bedroom. We worked hard to beautify it. Added tile, doors .
Planted flowers . The whole neighborhood did that.
This place has sewer, electric,
, phones, paved streets but it’s way more depressing than the slum where I grew up in.
People don’t take pride where they live . This happens

These are the exact streets my drug-addict mother would drag me through as a young boy (age 1 - 6). I'm 40 and it still haunts me. That f'n train, the smells, the things I saw at such a young age, the weirdos attacking us. Insane.

I am from the Netherlands and what surprises me the most about this slums is the amount of expensive cars you see parked everywhere.

No money to fix things up, but plenty of money for new stadiums.

The cars look like they are worth more than the houses.

Worst part is if you go back and look at pictures from the 1950s these were beautiful middle class neighborhoods. Philadelphia row homes are actually very well constructed, inside they all have oak floors beautiful walnut inlays, detailed staircases, and it all went to shit.

Being from southern New Jersey and a frequent visitor to Philly, I can def confirm that after dark, during the scary hours, northern Philadelphia is one of the scariest places that I have ever walked through. It’s not just the atmosphere, which is terrible enough, but it’s that eery feeling you get when every corner you turn could be a surprise.

Its embarassing that this level of poverty exists in the US. What a joke.

I was born and raise in north philly right on 25th and Lehigh ave. Went to Walton elementary, fitzsimmons middle school, dobbins high school on 22nd and Lehigh. I managed to move out of philly at 19 knowing then that it was a trap for all that lived there and never been back only to see family. Been gone for 20 years now. Moving from north philly turned out to be the best decision I ever made. This video is much appreciated and further makes me feel glad that I left.

I’m from Philly and I will put it like this, you don’t know that this is bad until you leave. You literally grow up thinking this is just how outside looks.

[notmebutyou]

Damn. This is depressing. There is NO WAY in hell I would bring children into an environment like this.

[charlesricks]

The people in the dodge truck so damn disrespectful lmao wtf man. Take forever to even get out the car, blocking the street…just ridiculous😂😂😂

I find it crazy that one of the richest countries in the world has so many, very bad looking, slums. And I only know about them because of YouTube-channels such as this. As a non-American I wonder if the politicians in your country ever talk about these areas, or is it just something they sweep under the carpet?

With Charlie having been everywhere I feel inclined to believe him when he says this is the most horrible he's seen

[kaivrock]

The trash problem in Philadelphia is unreal. How can anyone be ok with this?? The rat and roach not to mention disease has to be everywhere. What is wrong with these people?? Nobody's going to come in and give you a free cleaning. Do it yourself for christ sake.
