I would lose my mind if I lived with 3 other people in an apartment that small. I pay $1,400 for my 3 bedroom house which includes 5 acres of open land for my gardening/farming.
@@jahjoeka why does that matter he's still a slave paying almost 2k a month for a closet. At least im a slave who can afford a nice big place for almost the same cost
How are things over there as someone that lives on the ground over there in NYC? Is it bad as we see through Cash's investigate reporting or is it somewhat overexaggerated? Just curious since I'm observing all of this from DC which has a similar but way minor problem.
Yeah, well, take some advice from an ex-New Yorker. I was evicted at the beginning of the pandemic when my job went bye-bye, but before the moratorium was in place. I was already living in an illegal apartment. I lived in my car for two months in the midst of the pandemic, so no showers at the gym, no bathroom, shelters? No way! I became nocturnal to keep my car and stay under the radar. Took cat naps by day in different places. I escaped by night on tertiary roads--remember when they were stopping people at state lines? The closest major city to me is now Quebec City but I’m in the USA. I’m a resident caretaker in a one room cabin at a rustic camp. I don’t pay rent; I maintain the premises, keep a register of hikers, canoers, hunters overnighting on the land, remotely monitor two wildlife cameras for a conservationist. Other than occasional tutoring, sewing repairs, making assorted crafts to sell in summer, I consider myself retired.
Thank you for sharing this, I would love to know more about how you came across something like this. NYC really isn't sustainable and I much prefer nature and simplicity. No need to provide exactly where you are, i dont want to invade your privacy. I would just like some info to point me in the direction of how i can find a similar situation. Thanks
An illustration in the exact opposite of feeling entitled and waiting for government handouts. Well done to you for persevering. May you be blessed and have much success and happiness. I think you are an inspiration.
Congratulations on your retirement, and also on the new nomadic way of life with really no permanent address as you have to rely on using the "camp" USPS mail system to receive and send mail as needed other than email.
nah moral of the story is that we as a whole should put more effort in actually holding our govt and those working in it accountable for doing their jobs properly. A lot of funding and time is wasted on poor management of resources and money laundering through pointless contracts that doesnt actually help the people
Facts! Reason being the government seeks to gain more power between parties (tenants and landlords) to eventually using each other's desires and self interest against themselves. Who wins? THE GOVERNMENT!
It's not just NYC, it's the whole United States. My family and I live in a small town in southern Minnesota - population 2,000 including the cows and corn. My husband and I are retired. Unfortunately, we made some poor decisions with our money. Long story short, 3 years ago, our son, his wife and now our grandbaby and us bought a house together. All of us are owners. The kids have the entire upstairs 3 bedrooms and a bath. My husband and I have the downstairs bedroom, living room, dining room. We share a common kitchen and laundry/bathroom. We pay the utilities and 1/2 the mortgage. The kids pay the other 1/2 of the mortgage. This arrangement isn't for everyone, but it works for us. We paid $110,000 for the house. In the 3 years we've been here, rent/mortgage has gone up. Right now, our home is worth $350,000. Something needs to be done. As a nation, there are more homeless people than ever, the cost of living is astronomical and none of this is sustainable.
With people like Carlos Danger, Donald Trump, Coumo's, Eric Adams, Elliot Spitzer, etc coming out of that place why would any sane person want to live there!
That is what happens when the rich and powerful make decisions for the poor and powerless. They are so out of touch with reality, staggering doesn't even begin to describe it. The bureaucrats can't or refuse to separate their ideals from reality. What kinda politicians will ever say "I was wrong"? Nah, they run the ship into the beach, and just keep holding down the throttle until it explodes. *Well to be more specific, they leave some poor fellow holding the throttle at the last moment and they flee the ship like rats.
Just don’t come to Colorado. We are full, and you won’t find much here. Most open lands are protected so we are not going to build more houses/apartments for you.
One thing I have learned watching this channel is everything in New York City is so much more complicated, every solution has a downside, every problem is tenfold.
Economics 101: Supply and Demand. There are more people who want to live in NYC than there are places for those people to live. That means that the cost of property goes up. Can't afford NYC? Move to Jersey. Can't afford Jersey? Move to Mississippi.
Have you looked? Best food, best museums, best nightlife, best style, best stores, incredible parks, every singer tours there, and on and on and on. It’s worth it if you’re rich. If you’re broke then no you shouldn’t go there obviously.
@@maverickbull1909Huge facts I work remotely and my company has quarterly meetings in Brooklyn. I love to visit NYC but I just can't imagine living there😂😂
@foreverdreamwithinadream6871 what good is it? It’s the greatest and most fun city in America. Great place to visit if you’re broke. Awesome place to live if you’re rich.
I live in a boring Midwest city. That being said, I pay nine hundred and fifteen dollars a month for a mortgage on a big house built in the 1880s. I saw my rent getting increased every year and decided to work on my credit and save money. I worked at the local grocery store during the pandemic and paid my rent every month. My neighbors laughed at me because they were sitting home doing nothing and collecting more money than I was working through the pandemic. I got the last laugh because now they are paying MORE to rent the crappy apartment than I am for my mortgage. I am also now a manager at the grocery store and am saving up for a pool. 😂
@@clownpocketgreat point. Pools are ridiculously impractical to own when you do even a slight amount of research. I’d say it’s easier to find a lake to live near
"each person is paying $1,600, which is not too bad." in Oklahoma you can rent a full fledged house with a bigger back yard for like $1,800 utilities and water included. So thats pretty bad.
you have one of the best most informative NYC channels I have ever seen. Please keep doing what you're doing....I've learned so much about my own city from your content! Keep it up!
The guy mentioned living in house with roommates you know, but the problem is you have no control over what happens to their portion of the rent if they were to lose thier job, not decide to pay, get sick, etc... Doesn't matter how well you "know" them, things happen. That's a huge issue when that's the only situation you can afford in the city.
Many landlords now contract with each roommate for their portion. So if one fails only one gets booted. The only issue is you may get a new roommate you don't know or want.
@@nickwinn There is no kidding NYC is spending near $400/day for food and housing, per asylum seeker. For a family of 4 that's $48,000 per month, pretty much my entire years of mortgage + car payments + groceries for me in a HCOL area in California.
no stay, they voted for this dont bring NYs problems to surrounding red states. new yorkers bring their money and inflate housing prices/rendt everywhere they go.
Most of the housing landscape in America has moved beyond the 30% of gross monthly income. A good bit of the population is now rent-burdened. Housing costs have outpaced income growth.
The rent for that apartment was $6495 a MONTH, which is just about $78,000 a year. That is absolutely insane! What if it was a family, not a roommate situation? And after that year the only thing you've got to show for paying ALL THAT MONEY is a new lease contract that is raising the rent. People are already working 2 or 3 jobs just to have a place to live, because most rental properties don't cover utilities. Not only is all of this unaffordable, but it's also extremely unreasonable !
@@JC-zl1lqIn Virginia you can rent a whole house for the price of that one bedroom and we have plenty of government jobs and stay at home jobs, plus the military bases always pay great for civilian contractors.
@@nateman10no : THAT IS CAPITALISM WHICH IS THE BASIC CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF USA TODAY… what the F are you talking about ? Ignorant much?? USA is one of the most capitalistic places on earth with nyc being number one in that
That basement in the 3bed apt has no windows, therefore it can’t be a legal bedroom but the realtor is trying to sell it as a potential 4bed. Also relying on roommates to pay their share of rent is a nightmare waiting to happen.
A lot of people, just starting out in life, do that. Then too, many people don't like to live alone. When I was getting my doctorate, all my peers had roommates. Yes, roommates come with risks. But my peers generally tried to get roommates doing the same level graduate coursework to mitigate that risk.
I don't think anyone wants to live with roommates, but if you're just starting out in life, unless you're rich, it's pretty normal to get a room in a shared apartment or house. I can tell you from personal experience, the lack of privacy as well depending on others to do their part is a nightmare. I actually lost friends over it. I'm glad I got the experience though because now, the only roommates I will ever have again is my wife and kids.
To go where? 95% of America is being turned into New York by the Democrats. Moving to another branch isn't the solution when the tree is being poisoned.
Oh, heck, no! You all stay the h-e-dbl toothpicks where you are and effing fix this. They flee the Northeast for the Southeast and absolutely blow up property prices so locals can't afford a place to start a family; they move away instaed of building a local economy. Those who fled here do not build the local economy. And they sure are bossy. 'We' need this and 'we' need that and 'we' need to do this/that the way 'we' do it in NY or CT or RI or MA or wherever. Yet look at all the free assistance and protective rules and etc. So easy to see that free stuff in the city drives up the cost of everything. Bonus: they have no clue they do it to themselves.
I feel like there’s something obvious that isn’t being said which is that in the current economy, people cannot afford the cost of living even though they are working(!). It’s hardly a problem with “apartments” as much as it is a problem with universal rising costs despite universal stagnant wages. Implying that $1600 per month to have three roommates and potentially have to be the one that lives in the basement is good value is gaslighting and heartless
You can buy clothing for the same price if your tastes run to luxury. Or you can buy a T-shirt at the dollar store. Or you can rent a cheaper apartment in Des Moines, Iowa.
Move where? With what resources? For the ones in programs, that’s not transferable state to state. Please don’t be callous. Moving is easier said than done.
My brother is a landlord. Tenants refused to pay rent for 4 years. They trashed their apartment. They have attacked him. The courts finally kicked them out. Thank God for their eviction. They’re thieves.
Too many people think they have RIGHT to live where they want to live. They are going to live in New York City because of course they are. They don't let little things like a job or money get in their way.
I really love this channel, not just because Cash is a great at what he does, but because we can see what is REALLY going on in NYC. Not just a bunch of propaganda that the media outlets give us. He takes us into NYC literally so we can see with our own eyes what the media is NOT telling us.
Back rent - that’s what happens when you lock down a city and prevent people from making a living and expect them to catch up, when they were barely making it before.
You’re right but Biden did offer people rental assistance unless they did not qualify. I do know a women that was given 18 months of rent from the Biden program and still DID NOT save a damm cent during those 18 months. And when came time to start paying rent again, couldn’t pay it. And she was working. So what was she doing with her money. smdh
@@StackinGreene The covid responses are a direct cause of the inflation rate of the past two years. Its called economics. The printing of money and shut down of the economy. Then add too it bad fiscal policies, and the war on fossil and here we are at the shit show.
So the New York City rent stabiliation program goes behind on their payment of people's rent, the city administration should be brought before the court for failure to pay on a contract (lease) by the renter who has paid their share of the contract (lease). If the city of New York or any city forfeits, the federal government should terminate the rental of Manhattan Island and return it back to the original owners.
That 3 bedroom apartment is 6x the mortgage on my house (which, admittedly, is a modest house, but I have an actual house with acres of land). NYC sounds like it can't be worth the cost.
Only If your stupid rich can you live comfortably. And even then if I was rich I'd buy a beach house in California, instead of a clumped up "luxury" apartment for millions of dollars where that at least in California can get you a nice house.
no, funds are not diverted to migrants or non-citizens LMFAO the rich are pocketing those funds you fool, they lie to you to trigger your bigotry and fear.. your aggression. Media, Cash is acting media now, is weaponizing the people against each other.
This why I paid my rent when COVID was happening. People was listening to the government and not paying rent. That is why some people are nine and more months behind
Money doesn't grow on trees. Landlords have to pay for maintenance, taxes and fees ofc they will fight to maintain their property so its profitable. Knew immediately it was bs when I heard that. Sadly others drank the kool aid.
I worked and saved during Covid. Worked at a grocery store and paid my rent. We were short handed because most people just wanted to stay home and get paid. My upstairs neighbor bragged about making more than me. Guess what, I bought a house in 2022 and my mortgage for a 5 bedroom house is 915 dollars a month and the neighbor bragging still lives in the same apartment. 😂
This Guy Just said that apartment cost $6,495 Dollars a month for a 3 bedroom apartment. Where im Currently Living in Delaware You Can Get a Mini Mansion For That Price a Month....
@@maverickbull1909came here to say this lol move south. The people are amazing and the weather is hot but no snow is a big plus. I grew up in Chicago and to never have to dig my car out of the snow ever again is worth it.
Tip for Nooo Yawkers : Last time I was in NYC, the Staten Island Ferry was free. They used to have the B&O Staten island Rapid Transit waaaaay long ago ( a kind of interurban ) don't know what they have now.
I'm a senior and on the north side of Chicago too. I have 4 rooms in a middling neighborhood. My landlord is keeps raising the rent, and now wants me out in May and will raise the rent to $1500 a month. Mass immigration is making it worse especially since refugees are getting assistance and help getting housing... Americans are not.
New Yorkers gotta stay out of our paradise. There will be those listing too high of a price for what they're offering, then New Yorkers will come snatch it thinking it's cheap, and it will drive up the cost of rent here.
I feel so blessed that after my divorce I was able to recover within a few years. I purchased a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom house with a covered front porch, rear deck and small yard in the front and back outside of Atlanta. I completely 100% fully paid off my house last year and it feels freakin' amazing. My ex complained I was a financial control freak but being financially responsible and having discipline with your monthly budget is why so many people end up in terrible situations.
The true answer is to never get married! Smarter move. Be free and single is the way to go. I am and I love it. Freedom! So important. Women want everything! It’s all about them. They think. It’s nuts.
Why would anyone who's barely getting by choose to live in NYC? It's so insanely expensive there, and just about anyplace else except San Fracisco would be more affordable. I am sorry people are getting evicted, but the logical solution would be to leave.
I asked a friend who owns Multiple Rental Apartments in Chicago how does evict people who don't pay and how much headache it is for him. He told me he only used the Court Eviction once one. The Rest of other time, he manage to get people to leave by PAYING them money. He told me almost all the time if he offer someone $1000-1500 to leave within 2 days, they would immediately pack up, and leave as soon as he hand over the cash. He said this way you are helping someone who has no money, and also save himself the headache of going through the eviction process via Court Order.
Well It’s $500 just for a truck n couple guys to haul stuff Then u have to pack it all AND still work FT & do children I can’t make time stand still lol I couldn’t be out in 2 WEEKS and it would def take more than $500 to make me make myself bonkers
That's quite clever, especially if he saves money in the long run. It's sad that so many people mistreat others yet expect them to keep 'helping' them.
You're not at the mercy of the landlords. You are at the mercy of what other people are willing to pay. Supply is shrinking as room is made for illegal aliens and zoning laws keep capacity static, and somehow demand is staying high.
It is crazy that they are evicting people to house illegal aliens at the same time. New York was once a great city, I hope it can be so again in the future but not at this rate.
Maybe the Mayor should help these people,he is handing out Prepaid Credit cards to the Illegals coming to the City, Mayor the residents need the help, Illegals beat up the Cops and get away with it.
My lease was due to be renewed 2/21 and my gut told me to get the hell out. I was working remote anyway, best decision ever. I do miss the food at times but I’m still happy I left.
@kimmerlee10 I lived in NYC for 28 years! During the lockdown I had the option to stay but my job was shuttered & very little income was gonna come in monthly. I left in December 2020 & moved far far away! No regrets but I also miss all the food options the most!
It's really mind blowing to me that people in NYC pay thousands a month to live in apartments that look like walk-in closets. I live in Upstate NY (in a tiny home btw) and some of those places are smaller than my laundry room. WOW
@@Soule6 don’t be so quick to think you know what’s going on. Upstate NY and the rest has just as much culture as NYC. I live in CNY and have been to NYC many times. No difference except the amount of people. Also, everywhere outside of NYC isn’t the “sticks” you sound sheltered
I only commented on the Rent prices, I've been to NYC a couple times and yes you're right it's rich in culture and many things but personally to me it's just too expensive @@Soule6
obviously the media is doing that on purpose, keep people uninformed so they dont rise up and protest wall st. the more separated we are the more we direct our anger at each other and not them...the more isolated we are the less likely we come together and make real change. the illusion that your neighbor is your enemy is a powerful one
Got an idea. All these evicted people should go to the city hall and demand the city will ( Follow their policy) by providing them with housing. Maybe the city should put them in hotels for indefinate amount of time, and give them debit cards to spend on food or whatever.
As a retired person I’m in a constant state of saving for possible future emergencies. It’s a sad statement, but my parents always saved the same amount they spent. It’s Depression era thought, but it works. When young I lived in the city. As time went on I moved to the burbs where I now own a home. Move to the burbs folks. It’s so, so affordable when compared to being in the middle of the city. It’s not “sexy” . But it’s affordable.
NYC like the government at large has a lot of hard changes it needs to make. The problem is most people (especially the politicians) dont want to deal with the difficulty of making the changes. They'd rather slap bandaid on top of bandaid, but the wound just gets worse.
NYC is the direct result of voting in Democrats... You need to realize you get the policies you voted in... The fallout is real because their policies don't work..liberals are shattering cities globally
In California- I always paid rent on time for 4 years. Landlord game me “no fault eviction notice” and never provided relocation assistance, not even last month rent excuse. When I demanded to fulfill them their legal obligation, landlord further broke lease agreement which allowed me to have a roomate on lease. Landlord evicted my roommate and raised my rent to 5 times in 1 month. Then when I could not pay that much for 20 days, landlord filed an eviction case, had an expensive attorney and won damages, eviction and got awarded everything landlord asked. Myself, being suffering from severe public anxiety, had to present my case myself as no city or non profit helped me saying they are too overwhelmed with cases. I spoke to judge and felt like I was talking to a wall. The entire system cheated me out to streets. And now I have an eviction on my record and cannot rent elsewhere since I have irregular low income. This system is actively punishing being poor.
It is a horrible vicious cycle. Tenants cannot afford lawyers, we do not have assembly to establish lobbies. It’s a systemic, intrinsic set up for failure.
I definitely agree ,and look if you come here illegally you get free everything and rewarded, maybe we all should go to Mexico and come across the Rio, and tell them we come from a country where we're scared to live.
@@baine5.7 I was told 35 years ago I could live like a king on a $600/month income in Mexico, even have servants. Mexico is excluding low income people from living there now, only the upper income/wealthy need apply.
NYC resident here since birth. Besides the obvious reason that people simply can no longer afford to live here many are making the deliberate choice to break their leases and move away. They are deliberately not paying rent to save until they get evicted, all the while they are saving to use the money to move somewhere else. They aren't doing this to get over on anyone and I am reserving my judgments because they are simply doing this to escape the indentured servitude that is their reality here in NY. I eat one meal a day and spent almost 20 dollars at Mcdonalds the other day for just myself (one large chicken sandwich meal with a value menu mcdouble). It's nuts.
The Government needs to start building public housing again. Only this time with the new stuff and amenities. I don't understand how the govt got OUT of public housing, subsidized housing. Build NEW!
All of our resources are going towards people who aren't even citizens. I'm only second generation on one side and third on the other so it would be hypocritical of me to be against wide-spread legal immigration but New York did the equivalent of inviting 100 people over for dinner when we only have two pizzas to share. Our economy already had massive issues pre-2008 financial crisis (nevermind covid), this burden was one we literally couldn't shoulder. We are all going to be broke together now.
@@TWEAKLET I didn't say it was right, objectively it's wrong. I said that I'm not going to judge them because they are in a really tough position and they aren't doing it for out of malice. Another messed up part of this and a direct cause of people leaving are employers refusing to pay people what they are worth knowing if they leave the positions salary would be much higher anyway. Our receptionist used to make 51K (it's an entry level job, we're not looking for lifelong receptionists/assistants). Our old one moved back to Ohio to move in with her family and we are paying the new one 61K . I'm 100% sure if we paid her ever 58K saving us 3K a year she would have stayed. The whole system is borderline collapsing.
Getting evicted will be a mark on your record that you cant erase. any smart landlord knows to check their eviction history and never rent to tenants who have a history of that...gluck with that
Cash, pumping out informative and entertaining videos on a daily basis. Well done my man. Watching your videos on the happenings in NYC is like watching a TV show for people not living there like myself. It has shock value, comedy, saddness, desperation and hope. Thanks as always for the uploads. Have a great day everyone. 🍻
People didn't pay rent for years during Covid while their landlords were still on the hook for taxes, maintenance, HOA fees etc. Some were in a legit tough situation but others took total advantage of the situation and didn't pay their rent even thought they had the same income.
Everyone was being set up for this. Many needed the break so badly that there's no way they could be prepared for this. We also need to remember that 90% are not getting their health care or any other needs met in the first place.
Yes for years , and also I got no problem with that but city still ask for landlords to pay property taxes , insurance inspections etc. DOB was offering 100,000 in installments but still you need to give it back .
The Fatcats, Elitist and Criminal Politicians could not care less about the City of NY. It's a 24/7 dumping ground. I left December of 2020. It's one the best decisions I've ever made.
I am 48 and I used to dream about living in NY city when I was younger. I’m so glad I didn’t go. Living in the country just an hour from the east coast was a much better choice.
I love how everytime something is too expensive, yhe solution is to help people pay for ut instead ot trying to figure out why it's so expensive in the furst place and trying to solve that
nah. you dont understand, its "the replacements" hypothesis, which is very true and very real, where its at. thats what they dont want you to see /s for real tho, you are talking about dismantling an entire country's belief system, which is reinforced every second by all means necessary in order to keep the profits coming and keeping them in offshore accounts. i appreciate your concern tho.
Fought nine years for affordable housing as a homeowner they want black and families out. I left 2020 been there all my life. Many properties were stolen from life long residents no family environment just groupie. NY betrayed family invested people and forced them out. It's getting ugly.
CASH! I so appreciate the "newer" content. I used to watch randomly to see cost in NYC. But I'm thrilled with your newer takes and visit your channel much more often. Kudos for addressing other issues now. ❤
because its a liberal city. It seems like a pro; but ultimately people not paying for 8+ months en masse is the reason rent is so ridiculously high in the first place. "bandaid fixes" are the reason our cities are all 3rd world.
@@-.-Monsterno, it's not because of that. When I left the city in 1985, housing court was backed up for 2 years. It must be at least that unless things changed. NYC is clogged with bureaucracy so things move much slower than other parts of the country.
During Covid, the eviction moratorium was in place. Ppl were allowed to stop paying rent, and landlords couldn't evict them. Now that the moratoriums have ended, tenants across the country owe a bunch of back pay.
Seriously, if you rent an apartment for $6,495 a month you are only asking for trouble. A roommates rent is only good til one has a mishap, then their portion falls on you.
H.R.A. (Department of Human Services) will pay a rent subsidy for people to pay (only) %30 percent of their income IF they have less than $375 after paying rent. ONE dollar over that $375 amount, and that assistance ends. Many of the people who receive this benefit are very tight fixed incomes, and instantly losing assistance and having to come up with and extra $1000+ for rent in near impossible. Also, the $375 dollar ammout has not changed in almost 10 years, while everything else has. And can we talk about how ridiculous it is to think someone can live on $375 per month after paying rent? There are many agencies here in New York that set people up to fail.
>ONE dollar over that $375 amount, and that assistance ends. This is a stupid point, there has going to be some limit where one dollar over that limit is going to stop the assistance, or you're giving rent subsidies to billionaires.
@@zym6687 You're missing the point. Paying 70% ( in apartments usually below $1800.00) of youre income for rent, and then trying to live on $376 dollars in New York is a recipe for homelessness.
Cash, I appreciate your balanced, factual, informative, compassionate approach to telling both sides of situations and think you would excel in a larger media presence. Not necessarily with other hosts or a team...Just you and what ya do.
Upstate my friend with 5 kids and 3 pets is being evicted not due to rent, but because the owner wants to sell and it will be more valuable with no one in it.
Is it a house? Or apartment unit? In my municipality, there are protections against eviction for those in apartments. But for those in houses, tenants can be evicted from houses, after their lease ends.
Do New Yorkers realize how badly they are getting gouged by these apartment rental prices? I live in the Midwest and while I worked at a hospital I was able to buy a 1945 bungalow with a fenced in 8,000 square foot yard, garage, and mini-barn for far less then these poor people are paying for these wildly overpriced apartments? Jeez, move out of there - get away from the noise and unaffordable living expenses. What is so glamourous about living in that ridiculous city? Is it worth it? No it is not.
I'm sure if they could purchase like you they'd be fine. They can't just go and live and buy somewhere else now, as they are tapped out, and it is close to the same or getting there across the country. Count your blessings and be humble.
Yes we’re aware of the price gouging & yes we complain about it everyday. It’s difficult to up & leave somewhere when 1. Half the time you’re trying to scrounge up money to buy a slice of pizza after paying your rent & other bills. 2. This is our home, where our families are & support system. It’s daunting thinking about up & going to west bumblef*ck especially if you’re single because you don’t know how it’ll be if you get there, what happens if you get in a bind & will you even find a job & if so will you keep it.
People live in the city for a reason...the city is expensive for a REASON..EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN THE CIITY.....I'm sure they could find a cheepier place but it's not going to be near the CITY...that means you either have to drive to work COULD TAKE 2 HOURS...AND LONGER GETTING HOME...then you have the driving tax...and the parking costs...and the road rage...or you could do the trains and subways...probably take 4 hours to work and 5 hours getting home......still cost money to do that, plus you will probably get MURDERED OR RAPED...you can't compare the Midwest to NEW YORK city...not saying it's right or it's not gouging....in NY it's all about LOCATION.....and I learned that from watching Cash...

Sad but true. No museum, theatre, restaurant - whatever that city markets itself on - is worth the misery that living in NY has become. I fled years ago and for a while thought about going back but never ever. With technology the city will continue to lose population and stature. Charlotte is second to NY when it comes to banking and comes with a much more livable lifestyle. Other cities are learning how to compete with the Big Crapple. Really said. I was born in Manhattan and lived there much of my life. Only to see it whither on the vine - mostly at the hands of liberals like DiBlasio, Adams and the big one in Albany - Kathy Woke-Ill.
Thank God my sister and her husband are letting me stay with them until I get into affordable senior husing! I left Manhattan July 31st. Going way upstate where it's more affordable.
So many more people are having to exercising that option - God bless your sister and brother-in-law for their hospitality and God bless you for valuing your financial well-being over attachment to a city.
New York is a fun place to visit but I agree that it would be miserable to live there if you’re constantly struggling financially. Just don’t see the point in it.
I work for a REIT in the south eastern US and our evictions have tripled as well. Basically every lower and middle class renting person is being pushed out.
Reits need to end. Corporations buying out all this land and homes because YALL wanted to flee a housing created by YALL. soon you will see alot of us southerners bearing arms, new yorkers however, could never bear arms to save their homes.
Just don't forget, the more y'all gonna buy out OUR land. The higher and higher the likelyhood your families are gonna go missing for making our families homeless.
It doesn't make you a bad person to fall behind on your rent. It does make you a bad person to take advantage of the landlord and STEAL months if not years of rent housing that you haven't paid for. And while some have just fallen on hard times, others make a career of swindling landlords.
Bingo. No sympathy for people getting evicted if they're 3+ months behind on rent. You had your chance to get your act together. You can't expect the landlord to subsidize your life forever.
You don't want to get evicted? Pay your rent. Have issues with your landlord, out your rent money in escrow, report issues to HPD, pay rent when issue resolved.
Mom and Pop landlords still have bills and mortgages to pay. As a result, tenants can get away with not paying for 2-3 years without any impact, while landlords have to cover everything (heat, hot water) as the tenants live for free
If the 'Social Score' ever becomes a thing, defaulters with a bad score will have difficulty finding future employment, promotions, housing, etc. like is being reported in China.
Yep make up an excuse not to pay rent but still have the finances to drive a new leased bmw. Yea mom and pops are the cause of high rents😂 most mom and pops dont raise rents if they have good tenants and if you own a home with another unit being rented it is a job to maintain
ive been living in nyc for 10 years. had to move 5 times just because of the creeping rent OR buildings literally falling apart. withholding rent is a really rough game to play and can be more expensive in the end. after all this and following your stories for a while, Im seeing the writing on the wall to leave... as an audio engineer finding bustling locations where events are happening / consistent is slim as soon as you go outside of NYC
This is sickening. People renting apartments have worked and paid taxes. I lived in West San Jose, CA. Unfortunately dealt with rent rising until relocating.
Yeah, I’m on a Medicaid waiver because I’m permanently disabled and ill. I have never had an issue with my rent assistance arriving, and I have always paid my portion EARLY . . . . until just days ago, I found out the Medicaid waiver portion didn’t get paid for the first time. The landlord has been very nice about it so far since there’s never been an issue . . . but it was promised the check would get sent by the 5th, and now it’s the 9th. How is she gonna feel about that if the check still hasn’t arrived next week? When is she going to dip into my security deposit that I can’t afford to lose if I end up needing to move? When is she going to get mad? It’s like not a joke. I will have nowhere to go if they don’t start paying her. It’s really serious when I’m in a program and my Medicaid waiver falls behind. Yeah, let’s put someone like me who is ill and disabled with a service dog (and 24 hour aides on 12 hour split shifts) out on a street.
I just wanted to take a moment to give Cash a shout-out. His work has only been getting better and better and it takes a lot of time and energy to make high quality content. Truly appreciate this channel and how it helps others to learn and experience what it's like to be a New Yorker. Best of all this channel is a daily reminder of why I left NYC & the USA.
Interestingly, I live in rural Kentucky and live only on SS and a VERY small pension (a couple hundred a month). We have no problem with the occasional $500 bill. But then, our cost of living is about 1/3 our monthly SS payment. Zero debt and no mortgage on our home helps. I couldn't even pay rent with my SS in NYC. Plus, it would be a much worse standard of living than I enjoy here. Oh, and our income is so low we pay zero income tax. Tax season is easy-peasy. No stress. I don't even think about government spending like I did when I was a tax payer. So throw all you want at Ukraine while the cities die. You get what you vote for.
In NYC you have two different types of Landlords, small landlords with under 5 units and landlords with multi-unit apartment buildings. The smaller landlords do get burnt, but the larger landlords usually overcharge for rent and don't pay the light and gas for the unit so the cost is usually just for the general area in the building. They have one super who does the garage and maintenance for multiple buildings what is a high cost for them is the fine that they receive, once again this is for the larger building landlords. They want to evict because they can turn the apartment around and charge a higher cost.
You need better worker rights . Here in Europe people are not afraid to call an ambulance . Is not paradise , rent is up, all prices are up but even if you are self employed you get paid medical leave and having a medical emergency usualy does not leave up bankrupt and unemployed.

It's why everyone is leaving. In so many other states 1,600 can rent or buy a full house. Not just a room.

Yeah, well, take some advice from an ex-New Yorker. I was evicted at the beginning of the pandemic when my job went bye-bye, but before the moratorium was in place. I was already living in an illegal apartment. I lived in my car for two months in the midst of the pandemic, so no showers at the gym, no bathroom, shelters? No way! I became nocturnal to keep my car and stay under the radar. Took cat naps by day in different places. I escaped by night on tertiary roads--remember when they were stopping people at state lines? The closest major city to me is now Quebec City but I’m in the USA. I’m a resident caretaker in a one room cabin at a rustic camp. I don’t pay rent; I maintain the premises, keep a register of hikers, canoers, hunters overnighting on the land, remotely monitor two wildlife cameras for a conservationist. Other than occasional tutoring, sewing repairs, making assorted crafts to sell in summer, I consider myself retired.
Thank you for sharing this, I would love to know more about how you came across something like this. NYC really isn't sustainable and I much prefer nature and simplicity. No need to provide exactly where you are, i dont want to invade your privacy. I would just like some info to point me in the direction of how i can find a similar situation. Thanks

Moral of the story: unless you absolutely have no other option, never depend on the government for anything.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!!
nah moral of the story is that we as a whole should put more effort in actually holding our govt and those working in it accountable for doing their jobs properly. A lot of funding and time is wasted on poor management of resources and money laundering through pointless contracts that doesnt actually help the people
Correct because the government is an extension of the rich elite’s power.
Amen
Facts! Reason being the government seeks to gain more power between parties (tenants and landlords) to eventually using each other's desires and self interest against themselves. Who wins? THE GOVERNMENT!
It's not just NYC, it's the whole United States.
My family and I live in a small town in southern Minnesota - population 2,000 including the cows and corn.
My husband and I are retired.
Unfortunately, we made some poor decisions with our money.
Long story short, 3 years ago, our son, his wife and now our grandbaby and us bought a house together.
All of us are owners.
The kids have the entire upstairs 3 bedrooms and a bath.
My husband and I have the downstairs bedroom, living room, dining room.
We share a common kitchen and laundry/bathroom.
We pay the utilities and 1/2 the mortgage. The kids pay the other 1/2 of the mortgage.
This arrangement isn't for everyone, but it works for us.
We paid $110,000 for the house.
In the 3 years we've been here, rent/mortgage has gone up. Right now, our home is worth $350,000.
Something needs to be done.
As a nation, there are more homeless people than ever, the cost of living is astronomical and none of this is sustainable.

I live in a boring Midwest city. That being said, I pay nine hundred and fifteen dollars a month for a mortgage on a big house built in the 1880s. I saw my rent getting increased every year and decided to work on my credit and save money. I worked at the local grocery store during the pandemic and paid my rent every month. My neighbors laughed at me because they were sitting home doing nothing and collecting more money than I was working through the pandemic. I got the last laugh because now they are paying MORE to rent the crappy apartment than I am for my mortgage. I am also now a manager at the grocery store and am saving up for a pool. 😂

And after that year the only thing you've got to show for paying ALL THAT MONEY is a new lease contract that is raising the rent.

Why would anyone who's barely getting by choose to live in NYC? It's so insanely expensive there, and just about anyplace else except San Fracisco would be more affordable. I am sorry people are getting evicted, but the logical solution would be to leave.
It’s expensive asf to leave 😭😭 i moved to Florida with my family and that cost over 10k

I asked a friend who owns Multiple Rental Apartments in Chicago how does evict people who don't pay and how much headache it is for him.
He told me he only used the Court Eviction once one. The Rest of other time, he manage to get people to leave by PAYING them money. He told me almost all the time if he offer someone $1000-1500 to leave within 2 days, they would immediately pack up, and leave as soon as he hand over the cash.
He said this way you are helping someone who has no money, and also save himself the headache of going through the eviction process via Court Order.
Officially called cash for keys
Well
It’s $500 just for a truck n couple guys to haul stuff
Then u have to pack it all
AND still work FT & do children
I can’t make time stand still lol
I couldn’t be out in 2 WEEKS and it would def take more than $500 to make me make myself bonkers
That's quite clever, especially if he saves money in the long run. It's sad that so many people mistreat others yet expect them to keep 'helping' them.
1500😂😂😂😂
There were cases in Toronto, when tenants were asking 100k as keys for cash. That’s a total disaster.
You're not at the mercy of the landlords. You are at the mercy of what other people are willing to pay. Supply is shrinking as room is made for illegal aliens and zoning laws keep capacity static, and somehow demand is staying high.
It is crazy that they are evicting people to house illegal aliens at the same time. New York was once a great city, I hope it can be so again in the future but not at this rate.
5:05 did you say $6,495!? I only make $2,000 a month!
Maybe the Mayor should help these people,he is handing out Prepaid Credit cards to the Illegals coming to the City, Mayor the residents need the help, Illegals beat up the Cops and get away with it.
My lease was due to be renewed 2/21 and my gut told me to get the hell out. I was working remote anyway, best decision ever. I do miss the food at times but I’m still happy I left.

Got an idea. All these evicted people should go to the city hall and demand the city will ( Follow their policy) by providing them with housing. Maybe the city should put them in hotels for indefinate amount of time, and give them debit cards to spend on food or whatever.

In California- I always paid rent on time for 4 years. Landlord game me “no fault eviction notice” and never provided relocation assistance, not even last month rent excuse. When I demanded to fulfill them their legal obligation, landlord further broke lease agreement which allowed me to have a roomate on lease. Landlord evicted my roommate and raised my rent to 5 times in 1 month. Then when I could not pay that much for 20 days, landlord filed an eviction case, had an expensive attorney and won damages, eviction and got awarded everything landlord asked. Myself, being suffering from severe public anxiety, had to present my case myself as no city or non profit helped me saying they are too overwhelmed with cases. I spoke to judge and felt like I was talking to a wall. The entire system cheated me out to streets. And now I have an eviction on my record and cannot rent elsewhere since I have irregular low income. This system is actively punishing being poor.
I am so sorry, that sounds so horrible. I hope you're in a safe place now. Best wishes
It is a horrible vicious cycle. Tenants cannot afford lawyers, we do not have assembly to establish lobbies. It’s a systemic, intrinsic set up for failure.

Each person is paying 1,600 and that’s not bad?! wtf how much money are they making to think that’s affordable. Wtf
NYC resident here since birth. Besides the obvious reason that people simply can no longer afford to live here many are making the deliberate choice to break their leases and move away. They are deliberately not paying rent to save until they get evicted, all the while they are saving to use the money to move somewhere else. They aren't doing this to get over on anyone and I am reserving my judgments because they are simply doing this to escape the indentured servitude that is their reality here in NY. I eat one meal a day and spent almost 20 dollars at Mcdonalds the other day for just myself (one large chicken sandwich meal with a value menu mcdouble). It's nuts.
The Government needs to start building public housing again. Only this time with the new stuff and amenities. I don't understand how the govt got OUT of public housing, subsidized housing.
Build NEW!
All of our resources are going towards people who aren't even citizens. I'm only second generation on one side and third on the other so it would be hypocritical of me to be against wide-spread legal immigration but New York did the equivalent of inviting 100 people over for dinner when we only have two pizzas to share. Our economy already had massive issues pre-2008 financial crisis (nevermind covid), this burden was one we literally couldn't shoulder. We are all going to be broke together now.
still theft landlord still has bills to pay
@@TWEAKLET I didn't say it was right, objectively it's wrong. I said that I'm not going to judge them because they are in a really tough position and they aren't doing it for out of malice. Another messed up part of this and a direct cause of people leaving are employers refusing to pay people what they are worth knowing if they leave the positions salary would be much higher anyway. Our receptionist used to make 51K (it's an entry level job, we're not looking for lifelong receptionists/assistants). Our old one moved back to Ohio to move in with her family and we are paying the new one 61K . I'm 100% sure if we paid her ever 58K saving us 3K a year she would have stayed. The whole system is borderline collapsing.
Getting evicted will be a mark on your record that you cant erase. any smart landlord knows to check their eviction history and never rent to tenants who have a history of that...gluck with that

People didn't pay rent for years during Covid while their landlords were still on the hook for taxes, maintenance, HOA fees etc. Some were in a legit tough situation but others took total advantage of the situation and didn't pay their rent even thought they had the same income.
Everyone was being set up for this. Many needed the break so badly that there's no way they could be prepared for this. We also need to remember that 90% are not getting their health care or any other needs met in the first place.

How are you able to go 8 months without paying rent? In my day, I would have been kicked-out within 45 days.
because its a liberal city. It seems like a pro; but ultimately people not paying for 8+ months en masse is the reason rent is so ridiculously high in the first place.
"bandaid fixes" are the reason our cities are all 3rd world.
Thats how blue cities and states work. The law is set up to encourage the victim mentality
@@-.-Monsterno, it's not because of that. When I left the city in 1985, housing court was backed up for 2 years. It must be at least that unless things changed. NYC is clogged with bureaucracy so things move much slower than other parts of the country.

During Covid, the eviction moratorium was in place. Ppl were allowed to stop paying rent, and landlords couldn't evict them. Now that the moratoriums have ended, tenants across the country owe a bunch of back pay.
Seriously, if you rent an apartment for $6,495 a month you are only asking for trouble.
A roommates rent is only good til one has a mishap, then their portion falls on you.
H.R.A. (Department of Human Services) will pay a rent subsidy for people to pay (only) %30 percent of their income IF they have less than $375 after paying rent. ONE dollar over that $375 amount, and that assistance ends. Many of the people who receive this benefit are very tight fixed incomes, and instantly losing assistance and having to come up with and extra $1000+ for rent in near impossible. Also, the $375 dollar ammout has not changed in almost 10 years, while everything else has. And can we talk about how ridiculous it is to think someone can live on $375 per month after paying rent? There are many agencies here in New York that set people up to fail.
I hope everyone who clamored for the economy to be shutdown admires their contribution to this mess.
>ONE dollar over that $375 amount, and that assistance ends.
This is a stupid point, there has going to be some limit where one dollar over that limit is going to stop the assistance, or you're giving rent subsidies to billionaires.
@@zym6687AMEN 🙏, Someone can see the planned wipe out 😅
@@zym6687 You're missing the point. Paying 70% ( in apartments usually below $1800.00) of youre income for rent, and then trying to live on $376 dollars in New York is a recipe for homelessness.

Upstate my friend with 5 kids and 3 pets is being evicted not due to rent, but because the owner wants to sell and it will be more valuable with no one in it.
Is it a house? Or apartment unit? In my municipality, there are protections against eviction for those in apartments. But for those in houses, tenants can be evicted from houses, after their lease ends.

Do New Yorkers realize how badly they are getting gouged by these apartment rental prices? I live in the Midwest and while I worked at a hospital I was able to buy a 1945 bungalow with a fenced in 8,000 square foot yard, garage, and mini-barn for far less then these poor people are paying for these wildly overpriced apartments? Jeez, move out of there - get away from the noise and unaffordable living expenses. What is so glamourous about living in that ridiculous city? Is it worth it? No it is not.
Not everyone has the money or resources to just pack up and leave
I'm sure if they could purchase like you they'd be fine. They can't just go and live and buy somewhere else now, as they are tapped out, and it is close to the same or getting there across the country. Count your blessings and be humble.
Yes we’re aware of the price gouging & yes we complain about it everyday. It’s difficult to up & leave somewhere when 1. Half the time you’re trying to scrounge up money to buy a slice of pizza after paying your rent & other bills. 2. This is our home, where our families are & support system. It’s daunting thinking about up & going to west bumblef*ck especially if you’re single because you don’t know how it’ll be if you get there, what happens if you get in a bind & will you even find a job & if so will you keep it.
People live in the city for a reason...the city is expensive for a REASON..EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN THE CIITY.....I'm sure they could find a cheepier place but it's not going to be near the CITY...that means you either have to drive to work COULD TAKE 2 HOURS...AND LONGER GETTING HOME...then you have the driving tax...and the parking costs...and the road rage...or you could do the trains and subways...probably take 4 hours to work and 5 hours getting home......still cost money to do that, plus you will probably get MURDERED OR RAPED...you can't compare the Midwest to NEW YORK city...not saying it's right or it's not gouging....in NY it's all about LOCATION.....and I learned that from watching Cash...

It doesn't make you a bad person to fall behind on your rent. It does make you a bad person to take advantage of the landlord and STEAL months if not years of rent housing that you haven't paid for. And while some have just fallen on hard times, others make a career of swindling landlords.
Bingo. No sympathy for people getting evicted if they're 3+ months behind on rent. You had your chance to get your act together. You can't expect the landlord to subsidize your life forever.
WE ARE NOT COMMODITIES and not one fkn person should be PROFITEERING off of providing shelter! LANDLORDS ARE THE CRIMINALS, DEAR. That is reality.
I personally know ppl in nyc who purposely are not paying their rent because they know there’s no consequence.
Agreed
Black Stone buying all the house are also helping keep rent expensive. Those massive property owners are also to blame.
You don't want to get evicted? Pay your rent. Have issues with your landlord, out your rent money in escrow, report issues to HPD, pay rent when issue resolved.
Mom and Pop landlords still have bills and mortgages to pay. As a result, tenants can get away with not paying for 2-3 years without any impact, while landlords have to cover everything (heat, hot water) as the tenants live for free
If the 'Social Score' ever becomes a thing, defaulters with a bad score will have difficulty finding future employment, promotions, housing, etc. like is being reported in China.
That's the risk of owning too much house. Mom/Pop are part of the problem for high rent.
Truth !!!
How about not treating property ownership as a job
Yep make up an excuse not to pay rent but still have the finances to drive a new leased bmw. Yea mom and pops are the cause of high rents😂 most mom and pops dont raise rents if they have good tenants and if you own a home with another unit being rented it is a job to maintain
ive been living in nyc for 10 years. had to move 5 times just because of the creeping rent OR buildings literally falling apart. withholding rent is a really rough game to play and can be more expensive in the end. after all this and following your stories for a while, Im seeing the writing on the wall to leave...

This is sickening. People renting apartments have worked and paid taxes. I lived in West San Jose, CA. Unfortunately dealt with rent rising until relocating.
Yeah, I’m on a Medicaid waiver because I’m permanently disabled and ill. I have never had an issue with my rent assistance arriving, and I have always paid my portion EARLY . . . . until just days ago, I found out the Medicaid waiver portion didn’t get paid for the first time.
The landlord has been very nice about it so far since there’s never been an issue . . . but it was promised the check would get sent by the 5th, and now it’s the 9th. How is she gonna feel about that if the check still hasn’t arrived next week? When is she going to dip into my security deposit that I can’t afford to lose if I end up needing to move? When is she going to get mad? It’s like not a joke. I will have nowhere to go if they don’t start paying her.
It’s really serious when I’m in a program and my Medicaid waiver falls behind. Yeah, let’s put someone like me who is ill and disabled with a service dog (and 24 hour aides on 12 hour split shifts) out on a street.

Where did you move?
Interestingly, I live in rural Kentucky and live only on SS and a VERY small pension (a couple hundred a month). We have no problem with the occasional $500 bill. But then, our cost of living is about 1/3 our monthly SS payment. Zero debt and no mortgage on our home helps. I couldn't even pay rent with my SS in NYC. Plus, it would be a much worse standard of living than I enjoy here.
Oh, and our income is so low we pay zero income tax. Tax season is easy-peasy. No stress. I don't even think about government spending like I did when I was a tax payer. So throw all you want at Ukraine while the cities die. You get what you vote for.

@ILovePancakes24 The Govt. or Nyc will pay for it, and if you don’t believe it? Keep your head in the sand…
@ILovePancakes24 Well it's happening because of ignorant people like yourself.
In NYC you have two different types of Landlords, small landlords with under 5 units and landlords with multi-unit apartment buildings. The smaller landlords do get burnt, but the larger landlords usually overcharge for rent and don't pay the light and gas for the unit so the cost is usually just for the general area in the building. They have one super who does the garage and maintenance for multiple buildings what is a high cost for them is the fine that they receive, once again this is for the larger building landlords. They want to evict because they can turn the apartment around and charge a higher cost.
Unfortunately During the rent moratorium, the majority of folks didn’t save their rent money and spend the money.
And will flat out refuse to work for anything.
You need better worker rights . Here in Europe people are not afraid to call an ambulance . Is not paradise , rent is up, all prices are up but even if you are self employed you get paid medical leave and having a medical emergency usualy does not leave up bankrupt and unemployed.
