The Real Streets Of Sarasota, Florida ~ MLK X Newtown Hoods 2022 ~ Homelessness X Gentrification
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.
let me just say, after seeing all the fancy stuff out here it was sobering to see REAL STREETS and that not everyone out here is rich its serious situations going on in the Tampa bay area.
It doesn't look like anyone is on the streets of Sarasota.. Even paying customers.. What day and time did you film this, what's the reason for lack of people on the street.. No one couldn't stay in business for long.. Not even Ringling Brothers could stay in business for long with this foot traffic or lack of it..
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.
Well if you are going to be homeless might as well pick a warm state! Also it should have good welfare system 😉🏖La Floride est votre premier choix pour être sans-abri
Some many homeless everywhere wait till diesel hits 15 a gallon situation will increase 30 to 40 percent dollar is dead. This was all done in purpose. The dollar topped its about to drop this ain't the worst of it hang in there
This makes me feel homesick for some reason, I don't recognize any of these streets of course because I'm from California. They have almost ruined my state over the last 50 years. I don't think we have very many California natives left here. The corrupt politicians here created a homeless explosion, they create the problem so they can pretend to fix it. I'm not ready to leave my state ☹️ but there's so much corruption here.
I am retired living in Sarasota. Was a over the road trucker for 42 years, been in many towns and cities nation wide. Living in Sarasota since 2012, trust me there's no place like Sarasota, it is the best. The State of Florida is so Blessed to have Governor Ron DeSantis! Wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
Over the many years Sarasota has spent ignored a problem. The money that has been spent "studying" the problem and relocating money that was ear marked , the city has spent money that could have really helped in this problem.. And high rent, inflation is only adding to this crisis. There are a few old hotels on 41. Abandon. Remodel, set rules, Office could be used for our sourcing, transportation, etc.. Quit wasting money and sweeping this problem under the carpet. It's getting worse in down town Sarasota.
I have lived here since 1967, The areas you have just seen are the general black community areas. Its not really where the homeless live. Many of the homeless live in the downtown area and the older part of the town.
Do to high rent costs I see family's living in the vehicles with children.. Parked close to me. Some with kids . Nice folks. Rent and inflation put them here on the streets
Unfortunately Florida has been a Staple for the Transit's. It warm and They know a lot of people from the North visit for the winter months. Watch your family and your back.
I live here, there’s a homeless shelter in that area which is why there’s so many homeless. And newtown has transformed from what it used to be. It’s getting so much cleaner and safer.

If ever hard times fell on me I believe Florida would be better place to be homeless in winter.

Cool video 🔥🔥
Blue counties === homelessness.
I used to live close to Newtown
Excellent video. Silent and profound. You let us use our own eyes, rather than cluttering it up with talk.
What was your route, approximately?
Is it hot and humid always there? Are there homeless in Sarasota?

Big cities big problems . Go figure !
Just not enough placeis to stay it's a problem in that part of the country 🙄

You're welcome.

Still great compared to Bradenton and you really do not show the worst of Sarasota at all.
Where are the people?
Next time show us the fake streets please.

Your only showing the poor part of town. Sarasota has a lot of incredible looking neighborhoods, place to go and alot of things to do!
No mention of the names of the streets you are driving ?
If you were trying to show the homeless in Sarasota, you missed the mark. There's not a soul on the streets in this video.
It seems very clean compared to New York City. I only saw to home less.

Well thaaaaats niiiiiice
I have lived in Sarasota 39 years and Sarasota likes hiding their homeless for no one to see. It's a wealthy city that is for the rich only.
I am not a fan of driving videos

California is far worse than this,this is nothing compared to other states sorry but that’s the truth.
I live here, there’s a homeless shelter in that area which is why there’s so many homeless. And newtown has transformed from what it used to be. It’s getting so much cleaner and safer.
Sarasota was never a hood and now it is becoming a really great place.
Yo!! Be careful man!! You are driving very fast and I am like pressing the Damm break!!
