NYC's "Most Dangerous" Neighborhood : Walking Brownsville, Brooklyn (July 2021)

Published 2021-07-10
From Wikipedia:
"Brownsville is a residential neighborhood located in eastern Brooklyn in New York City. The 1.163-square-mile (3.01 km2) area that comprises Brownsville has 58,300 residents as of the 2010 United States Census. The neighborhood's boundaries are unclear, but it is generally bordered by Crown Heights to the northwest; Bushwick and Cypress Hills to the north; New Lots to the east; Canarsie to the south; and East Flatbush to the west.
Founded in its current incarnation in 1858, initially a settlement composed of Jewish factory workers, Brownsville underwent a major demographic change in the 1950s that saw an influx of African-American and Latino residents. Since then, it has consistently held one of the highest poverty and crime rates of any neighborhood in New York City."
Corrections
At 1:23, I'm unsure if William Suydam declared bankruptcy.
At 5:36, Mike Tyson did not grow up in Van Dyke Houses, he grew up at 178 Amboy Street.

My husband's brother and his wife lived in Brownsville. They lived in the projects that was well kept and looked more like a condo. That was over 30 plus years. His brother and his wife were considered a middle class family. We would go to their house on the weekends. Sometimes Saturday and sometimes. They are both deceased now. We miss them terribly. May the Almighty rest their precious holy purified beautiful souls. Amen. Thankyou so very much for doing this video on Brownsville Brooklyn New York. 💗

I lived in Brownsville for 17 years .. it's not as bad as they say you just mind your business and keep it pushing
-
One of the deepest darkest hoods in NYC and it still looks a hell of a lot nicer than most city’s “normal” areas. NYC #1
-
Respect to Brownsville, I lived there for a while. It was a fair share of Good and Bad, but the neighborhood held me down, God Bless. BROWNSVILLE , NEVER RAN NEVER WILL!
-
Guy says "hello" shattering neighbourhood generalisations. . "Off to Villain's Pizza" to meet a friend"
-
Where my daddy was born in 1931. How l miss him!
-
Born in Brownsville in 1994. It was always a dangerous area — however, the huge issue of this area is there is no new reconstruction to anything around there. Most of those buildings and stores been there for decades.
-
My mom grew up in Brownsville, so she really enjoyed this tour! And she could even show me where she used to live! So thank you for this!!
-
Cheers AK! I grew up in East New York. Thanks for coming into our neighborhoods. There are a lot of decent, hardworking people there who just want to take care of their families.
-
That was a fun cameo, ActionKid! Thanks for showing us all around Brownsville on this hot hot day & hope you enjoyed some delicious pizza afterwards 🍕🔥
-
Love your videos bro, they always cheer me up when I'm homesick. You can't imagine how happy I am seeing a video on my hometown in Brooklyn!!!

Action Kid I am so grateful for your walks I was born in East New York 74 years ago. Thank you so much the street names bring back memories.💕💕
-
They're going to show Actionkid's walks in 50 years as a time capsule. This man is doing a service.
-
The Action Kid interacts in any neighborhood. His focus is on his 🚶♂️ & on documenting not passing judgment.
-
The way he narrates the history as he walks... makes the whole thing so much better.
-
Thank you for that trip. I like your virtual tours the most, because you show the real country, not only the tourist spots. Keep on, you're great. 👍
-
I use to go to the Public School 189 on Rockaway Parkway. The 3 train on Sutter Av was the train i took everyday to go home. Good times
-
Someone should start an organization that picks up all the unused food from the schools and then redistributes it in homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
-
Action Kid your videos cleared up decades of misconceptions I had about your city. Your programs are doing humanity a great service; thanks and GOD bless.
