No. jesus was born in bethleham, in Israel. Jerusalem is another town in Israel; Jerusalem and Bethlehem were two separate towns in the country of Israel.
Everything was a mess. The people were very mean. Another comment: Bethlehem was a small town and they probably had their ups and downs like other towns, but there was good in Bethlehem.

Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem because of a decree issued by Caesar Augustus that required everyone to return to their ancestral towns for a census. Since Joseph was of the lineage of David, he went to Bethlehem, the city of David, to register. Mary, who was pregnant, accompanied him on this journey. This trip ultimately led to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
Bethlehem of Galilee, also known as Bethlehem of Zebulun, is a small village located in northern Israel, while Bethlehem near Jerusalem, often simply referred to as Bethlehem, is historically significant as the birthplace of Jesus and is located in the West Bank. The two towns are geographically distinct and have different historical contexts, with the Jerusalem-area Bethlehem being more prominent in biblical narratives. Additionally, Bethlehem of Galilee is less well-known and has fewer archaeological and religious sites compared to its southern counterpart.
The little town of Nazareth lies in the hills of Galilee. This was where Jesus grew up an lived with Mary an Joseph. he stayed in Nazareth until it was time for him to begin his public mission. From Nazareth, he journeyed throughout the towns and villages of Israel.
In terms of historical events, that would be Bethlehem and Jerusalem.

Bethlehem was crowded during Mary and Joseph's arrival due to a census ordered by the Roman Empire, which required people to return to their ancestral towns for registration. Many families traveled to Bethlehem to comply with this decree, leading to an influx of visitors. As a result, accommodations were scarce, contributing to the difficulties Mary and Joseph faced upon their arrival.
