Newburgh Hood video

[VietnamEraVet]

There have been numerous posts here on NYG about the level of violent crime in Newburgh.

So, when I happened across this video on Breitbart where someone filmed driving around in Newburgh, I took time to watch it. And DAMN! It's a shithole.

A link is attached to this email for anyone interested. This video is posted on Youtube.

I saw some maskers lol. "Covid" is the last thing they need to worry about when it comes to living or not. Yet, there are some neighborhoods in the town of Newburgh off of 9W that have million dollar homes. The city on the other hand...

Welcome to the party, pal!

I've been saying Newburgh is a shit hole for years.

I can take a 15 minute ride to Syracuse and see about the same conditions. Just another shithole city.

I've never been to Newburgh that can remember. It looks like it was a nice place at one time, certainly not that now. Shithole is a compliment.

16:22 of watching Hochul's voters and success. Pass.

Ah...the beautiful reality of democrat run cities. Rejoice at the result of progressive policies!

In the 1950's Newburgh was considered the best small city to live in, in the entire country. It all started to change in the mid-1960's. During WW2 there was a Naval base and an army base, and I was told the town was busy as hell. Now, the police station has bullet holes in the front of the building. I worked there during the Rodney King riots. It was a very scary place to be for a white man, and I came really close one night to shooting someone, as close as you can get without pulling the trigger.

If you look at the architecture, the city must have been magnificent 80-100 years ago. There are places that are slowly being gentrified, but I don't think it will ever be the same.

I watched it from the perspective of growing up in Newburgh. Came back after college but left for good in ‘78. Honestly not as bad as I expected.

Couple of comments. I only watched first half of video, but even by then the driver was trying real hard to make things look bad. One street he showed five times, a couple other multiple times in both directions. It’s a big city with a lot of streets, so really? I saw plenty of things you see in a city. Plenty of cars on streets but no stripped hulks or abandoned vehicles. A lot of people on the street, walking and hanging out, but that’s nature of a city. I did not see homeless or drunks sleeping in doorways. Yes there was grafetti on buildings, most notably on side of open neighborhood store.

So while Newburgh has plenty of problems (rampant crime #1) I didn’t see it shown in first 8 min of video

One can drive through Syracuse, Rochester, or Buffalo and find the same conditions... not so much way up North in Watertown, or across to Plattsburg; too damn Cold and Snowy.
I made several trips to West Point 87-88-89 and near that area a few times since: sure as hell isn't a Potemkin Village, but never had any issues myself.

Wow!
Tons of street parking!

After work in the field on highway construction jobs, I used to work for a boss who loved to drive slowly thru the worst streets, on south side of Syracuse, with an unmarked State car....and me imprisoned in the passenger seat. Damn!!
His intent was to appear as to a probation or parole officer on the prowl..............it worked.
People scattered like chaff during a hurricane.

We may have saved lives.

"Wally Howards" place...... was a must pass by, each day. The days of "Boot Camp Gang" and others. Feds actually prosecuted gangs for RICO conspiracies. Those days are long gone under Hochul.
Shelter in place.

Makes me sad to see it. Another city gutted by

“opening China” and other short sighted economic policies.

The story I'd heard was that Newburgh started going down hill once they got a welfare office - then the free shit army started moving in. The locals started fleeing, and the downtown retail followed. Then the braintrust running the city decided to level all the buildings around the waterfront (urban renewal) with the expectation that someone would surely swoop in to rebuild modern buildings. It only took 40 years for someone to take a chance investing in a beautiful waterfront overlooked by housing projects, a welfare office and surrounded by filth and crime.

A long history of recurring race riots and fires since 1899 probably didn't help.
