Why Cincinnati Makes No Sense as a U.S. City

I lived in OTR during college at UC. That was 2010-2015 and it was fun but could be dangerous. That’s where I learned to leave my car unlocked and empty. I still do that to this day.

Im in Cincinasty to build another new bridge, ive worked all over the US n this is absolutely the most confusing mess ive seen yet

Cincinnati... where fun comes to die.

3cdc is evil

Over the rhine is still real bad. just looks better

This town struggles with its identity bc it refuse to be inclusive about the contributions that the black citizens have made. When it talks of the 30 something young professional its demograph is white professional young black professional leave this town in droves. It lack texture and nuance it is hell bent on being a stoggey republican /conservative city. The urban conflict happens when the working forgotten poor makes there discontempt known .

Stop undermining Kentucky's role in the Underground Railroad. Cincinnati was the last stop; most of the danger was over for the escaped slaves. You did not give Covington, KY and Newport, Ky any mention in the Underground Railroad. Covington and Newport had the real safe houses, real danger; the Kentucky side was far more interesting. The people taking the most risk were on the Kentucky side.

That map of Australia next to the map of Ohio in the thunbnail is funny.

The Appalachian people were part Melungeon. Yeah look into the Melungeon people i believe I watched a story were they ended up in Cincinnati.

Opening of video: "CINCINNATI!" Shows image of Kentucky

Cincinnati is still feeding aspects of slavery.

The city only prettied up the businesses! They only spent money to make money! 😂 They don't give af about the people or if they have good housing. The actual neighborhood SUCKS. My brother is an Iraq vet and the VA is paying for a tiny ass apartment in OTR that is WORSE than GARBAGE. The bricks are falling out of his wall and he can see out into the street. There's probably asbestos falling into his bed and service dog's water bowl. They just wanted to make a spot for people who have money and tourists! Behind the paint and "restorations," people are still suffering. There's shootings everyday. Usually because of drugs. Give me a BREAK.

I love Cincinnati. And this is why I'm pissed.

1:40 That is not Cincinnati bruh

I love Cincy! One of the best places I've ever lived!

A Cincinnati resident this video is spot on!

Just had another shooting downtown last night seems like every other night there's a shooting here I've moved back yes they clean the city up not the same

I used to live in Cincinnati It's A very Popular City even too this Day.Its not conservative as it once Was The New Breed of Young America isn't really on the Racist Shitt.. it's More unity. I think Ohio With Cleveland, Columbus,& Toledo has to be in the Top 6 Most Richest Economy in America

OTR is still dangerous at night its a chithole area of town.

And the liberal, woke led city and county government is doing its very best to make Cincinnati once again one of the most dangerous cites of it size in the country.

Over The Rhine is still one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country!!! I refuse to go there.

By US census standards Cincinnati is considered to be a large city not medium

Cincinnati is where Jesus Christ was crucified and its where he will come back first!! They buried it, hide it, but whats done in the dark will come to the light!! Cincinnati - Illuminati

What does this channel consider America to be?

OTR is touted by the city as a great example of urban renewal, yet there are weekly, if not daily, shootings there.

Being invaded by poop jeets

‘When the end of the world comes I want to be in Cincinnati, it’s always 20 years behind the times” Mark Twain

Cincinnati turned to ruins when people began voting Democrat to lead the City.....

As a lifelong Cincinnati area resident, I need to make some clarifications and add a few things! The Roebling suspension bridge is one of the oldest, being started before the Civil War and finished in 1867! As well, the Licking River flows north (only one of 2, the other is the Nile) from Kentucky into the Ohio directly in front of Cincinnati and was a major throughfare into Kentucky! Also, what was called a "slave pen", was actually a slave cabin, which was common for slaves and poor whites alike, not just slaves! While of course slavery was bad, I don't like when people try to make it out to be far worse than it already is, it's already bad, so there is no reason to make it even worse! As I said slavery was wrong no matter what, but that doesn't mean every slave owner was cruel or sadistic, that doesn't make it right! Though it gives people a false sense of what the average slave in the US went through, again I'm not justifying, just pointing out facts!

I've said for over a decade that the slavery vs freedom line is one of the biggest problems in the city even today. When I lived in Indianapolis and Columbus, the racial tensions were nowhere near like what they are in Cincinnati. That divide is still felt today, without a doubt

Gentrification and displacement of entire neighborhoods.

OTR oscillates between its nice new identity and the ghost of its past to this day.

The Licking River is far larger than any of the Miami Rivers and you don't even mention it.

ALWAYS REMEMBER, THE KKK WERE DEMOCRATS. I'M A BLACK MAN. LOOK UP THE FACTS

DEMOCRATS WERE IN FAVOR OF SLAVERY BACK THEN, WHY IS CINCINNATI DEMOCRAT NOW???

I'm in Cincinnati. We're slaves up here to this day! The gangs keep you off the streets most of the time. We're told to stay inside if we don't want to be beaten or murdered!
P.S. we're white.

The ferris wheel has been gone for prob 5yrs now..

Anybody associated with Epstein should be burned at the stake! And who else?

Dad was a cop in OTR from '71 until 2000. Walked a beat.

Nope dipshit the mason dixon line is the ky border and we were neutral here my family had 0 slaves we were mainly Cherokee then the irish english mutts from europe came and banged my ancestors. Whats this even about. Kentucky is and was neutral. Not pro or con slavery. Because we were farmers minding our own am business dont talk shit about my state.

philly and cinci turned into NYC and chicago after the erie canal was completed

3CDC is the devil. If you're from here you already know. Do the math or they'll just burn your building down.

@11:42 don’t forget getting growled at and threatened by a woman on fent

Oh, come on! Cincinnati is no more dangerous than any other city its size - and probably less so. I lived there from 1996 to 2019. Yes, there is crime; there were racial problems. But those were limited to small areas. By the way, the acoustics of main auditorium at Music Hall were ruined by the rebuild in the 2010's. However, it's now said the members of the Cincinnati Symphony can now hear each other where before, they couldn't. The Freedom Center is a wonderful addition to the city and a commitment by the people of Cincinnati to remembering its past but building towards its future. It's a quirky place - there's an old joke about the invisible line up Vine Street that divides East from West. Supposedly, to go from East to West, you need a Visa; to go from West to East, you need an American Express Platinum card. The joke continues that at one point, the people of both sides of Cincinnati decided to tear down the invisible wall, took one look at each other and put the wall back up. A lot of the city is old and conservative as all get out. Yet, now, with the younger people moving in to take advantage of Cincinnati's burgeoning tech businesses, neighborhoods such as Northside, Oakley and Mt. Auburn are being revived - just as Over-the-Rhine was 15-20 years ago. It's a great city and one that deserves a lot more credit than it receives.

513 here aka the 9 - valid vid👌🏾

Overall: hood. Some situations: It's pronounced "Pork-opolis", not "Por-copolis. The Gammon House actually sits approximately 55 miles northeast, in Springfield.

Best city in America
