This is where I live. I was expecting him to pass by my house---almost did. It's actually quite quiet. I have no problem driving anywhere. People are polite and keep to themselves, but if you're in need---they will always lend a hand. I'm originally from NYC. I moved to Florida in 2004. I first moved to Doral---no Black people on site, and no Boricuas either. I'm Boricua. I felt more at home in Cutler Bay, where I saw many more races living in the same neighborhood. Now, as I said before, this is my neighborhood. I get to see kids running around---how dangerous can it be? It's in the eye of the person that sees. You can see beauty or danger in the people you come across. Being tough is not the same as dangerous. Tough neighborhoods don't equate to dangerous neighborhoods. It's tough because we don't have many things, but what we do have is tenacity, perseverance, and hope. We are tough---means we don't give up. It's sad to me to be told I live in a bad neighborhood when I don't feel the same. Maybe you should get to know people here. I'm not saying bad things don't happen--but if as he said you mind your own business-you'll be ok. This is the same as in Poshy uppity neighborhoods, too; the ones that breed the "entitled," serial killers, and stalkers....LOL.
Edit: Boricua is Puertorrican. The true Taino (indigenous people of the island) name is Boriken. We are of mixed race. We have Taino, African, and Spaniard DNA). I mentioned no Boricuas in site because there are mostly Cubans living in Doral, Florida.
I do a lot of work in homestead!! I am an electrician and appliance tech !! I never had an issue with anyone!! Thank God , I think is getting better every day, the only issue is the driving, but that’s bad in the whole Miami city
I'm 64 years old and live off Krome Ave and I can go to the RaceTracs in those areas at 3 AM alone and have no problems...Those "Hood" guys are very gentleman like and open the door for me and all...I'm often in that area at that time, on my way to Key West for work...Crime usually happens among people who know eachother and have disputes among themselves...Biggest amount of crimes are "Domestic Violence" related...But, most are peaceful families, who live in poverty and mind their own business...If it were not true, 18:48...two white LADIES sitting outdoors at that time of the night, proves me...Thanks for the ride guys...Many blessings to all...A+ for Katie's next test...🙏...Bechitos...
I've lived in Homestead since 1988 and yes there's is alot of poverty, food stamps and section eight, but most of the people are nice and hard working and not all are poor. . I use to work at Martin Luther King Clinc on Mowry Drivse for years and now retired. There are sections that are bad at times, but not all of Florida City and Homestead. Usually the violence is beween 2 people having beef with each other over drugs. Most of the time it's pretty quiet. I know what I'm talking about, I have alot of friends that live off of 4th 6th, 11th street, Palm Dr. At least I have never seen violence there.
During the 4 of July around here is 50% fireworks and 50% gunfire. There's so many people on ATVs and dirt bikes the cops don't bother trying to catch them.
Man my stumping ground .. I grew up in homestead… he pass right by my hood 3rd ave .. it still look the same .. but the parks by my house they diffently up graded those parks …. I got in a lot of trouble out there tho … good memories…
Lived in homestead around 2008 before I moved out to Nebraska in an apartment called homestead colony the apartments that's behind my apartments were sketchy asf
For some reasonI thought you were Cuban not a white guy. Anyway I'll trade that Homestead hood for a Bronx hood any day. Bronx hoods are 90% worse. Being mistaken for someone else and being clipped in the middle of a shoot out are serious problems here too right now.
I grew up in Homestead Florida and it's really sad to see how it is today; although, I still have family and friends there im no fan of visiting the area.
