Makes you wonder how stupid these NYC politicians are. That very well could be the plan, but where does the “go soft on crime” then push out your top earners for it? Politicians are stupid, but NYC politicians are Special Olympians.
$68 billion spent on border crossers by the U.S. Govt. in 2023 alone. I wonder if that money could be put to better use for actual citizens of the U.S.?
Nope because they need the votes and/or the population inflation to increase the electorates. Plus over half of population is brainwashed to vote for the people running this clown show anyway so they got no worries there.
Not possible when ‘other’ poor people from the world has less than Americans. We are supposed to be all the same and equalized under globalism. Hence bail reform and immigration
Democrats spent $68 billion on border crossers and just a few years before during the Trump administration when he was trying to get the wall built, Democrats said we couldn’t afford $5 billion for a border wall. 😡
It's the same here in Germany. Prices have doubled or tripled. Rent prices are going through the roof. And our government is wasting billions on other countries or refugees who can't behave here. We're all screwed.
I am in lower Bavaria…inflation seems to be 6-9 months behind others…and in small suburbs rent hasnt moved too much, I thinks it is mainly in larger cities. Thank God we aren’t in USA, food up 43% in last 18 months…I see about 20% around us. I hope it slows down soon.
Oh we are going to ignore the Millions of dollars our super rich scoot out of the country to not pay taxes and zoom in on the immigrants our weapons have created Sounds AfD to me
Born and bred in the boroughs. I left in 2020. My sisters left. My wife's sister left. My cousins left. Everyone in the neighborhood I grew up in left. Anyone who I know that is still there is planning on leaving.
as someone from NC i always thought new york was a cool place to live in but maybe back in the early 2010s, and now I have no interest in living there, after seeing how expensive its become. No wonder I see so many new Yorkers move down south here.
I've lived in midtown Manhattan since the 70s and over the past 10 years or so the quality of living has really gone down. It is dirtier and there is a significant amount of crime on the streets. People don't care for each other. 80% of New York State is so much nicer and different from NYC.
Thats why i cant wait to move upstate, and get out of this,shit. Everynight when im heading to my car to go to work im praying as i walk, with pepperspray in hand, its so sad
So why aren't ppl making videos telling ppl how to survive? If 80% of NY is better than NYC, where are these places? Why don't we have other countries to welcome Americans? This isn't just NYC, it's all over the country. On SS, seniors avg benefit is about $1500/month. No sub housing, just years of waiting lists, and new border breakers are getting them first. Ppl in cold states are already doing wo heat/a/c/refrigeration, and skimping on hot water and cooked food. There's really nothing else to give up.
no etards of BOO-YORK WILL PAY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SUKKKAS 895 A MONTH HERE 4 BEDROOMS OFFSTRT PARKING 4 BEDS 2 BATHS AND WE CAN DRIVE nyc been trash all big trsh dumps are YOU CANT DRIVE MEANS U HAVE NO FREEDOM
Wouldn’t be able to live in nyc knowing the rent is 4/5k per month for a 1-2 bedroom apartment where you have to take a dump but also wash your dishes in the same sink😅😅.
Born in Manhattan, I lived in Brooklyn until I was 13. My parents moved us to South Florida. I was employed by Ma Bell in Miami and at 19 I took a transfer to New York Telephone. It was exciting. I was working in the World Trade Center as it was being constructed. Drafted 6 months later and returned four years later to a place that was in bankruptcy. Police, Firemen, Sanitation, and Taxis on strike. I'd gotten married three years before to a South Jersey Girl. There was no way she'd live there and neither one of us wanted to raise children there. So I did four years of commuting to and from New Jersey. It's no way to live. So, I took another transfer South to North Carolina. Reasonably priced, decent people and in a big city. The reasonable costs allowed us to own an ocean front house to rent out in summers. Now it's our pension. We've also bought and sold a number of condos. Our son got a good education as an engineer at one of the five best engineering schools. A state school and reasonably priced. And, I get to own guns and a concealed carry permit. So does my wife. A necessity nowadays. Too many Northerners moved here and brought the Democrat Party with them. They also brought liberal criminal laws and liberal judges. Had I stayed in New York and New Jersey I'd never have done so well. It pains me to criticize New York City. It's been my family's home since 1627 when they came from the Netherlands with a couple of hundred years of farming in New Jersey. The city is an exciting place but I don't see the use of living there any longer. It's unsafe, and far too expensive.
Thank for you this comment. I'm moving to North Carolina. The education is by far the best compared to the college I attend. Every time I would visit NC I dread coming back home to NY. My family says I won't make the same amount of money in NC but I honestly just want to have a piece of mind and feel safe. I also want a better education. There are so many opportunities in NC compared to NY. Everyone is inviting and welcoming in NC. I love that there's so much space and properties in NC. I'm tired of the overcrowdedness in NY. NY is so expensive I don't want to go anywhere. NY has messed with my mental state. I'm always looking around my surroundings. No one should live like that.
New Yorkers should be proud of the fact that their city went to shit under a diverse administration. They also want the people that are causing the issues to solve them... this thought process is amazing.

Cash tends to focus on Manhattan because it has prices that spark disbelief and upset. That said, for some reason some people prefer to spend more for less, perhaps for a shorter commute or other amenities of the community.
@@TommyTomTompkins , I'm glad you've found something reasonably good for you! I'm on the "East Coast" and I own my home, paid it off 3 yrs ago, Thank you Lord! But one of my friends had rented a 2 bedroom apartment about 15 yrs ago and it was around ~$700/mo with full furnishings, washer/dryer inside their unit, utilities included etc. And this was I'd say about ~700-900 sq ft apartment not like these "shoeboxes with a toilet" in NY. NY is just going to be expensive period because of the higher taxes etc. Even though there may be some "positives", renting is always going to be generally _undesirable_ when compared to paying on a mortgage just because you'll never own the "apartment/home" that you're renting unless given the "rent with option to buy." I rented for 5 yrs and there were some positives, especially when I was younger but ideally I wanted to have something to show for all of those monthly payments other than "just a temporary place to stay." Thankfully now I do, I can borrow against my home, buy another home and rent this one out or sell it or just live payment-free besides taxes and insurance which are just a fraction of mortgage/rental payments.
@@gagamba9198 Shorter commute? If you walk and amenities of the community? Most NYC neighborhoods have gone to poo. Nothing is sacred in the city except going out to the eastern boroughs of Queens and maybe BK. For example, Penn or Grand stations both have the LIRR that takes you to neighborhoods in Queens where you can live with much less crime and BS than Manhattan has and in less than an hour. The neighborhoods are so much more vibrant and full of activity, unlike NYC which has just simply gone to poo. I"'ve been commuting for over a decade from the Great Neck area and I did live on the UES, BK, Astoria, and finally where I am today. Working for the city has its benefits and the commute just becomes part of your life. The LIRR is a good bet when you have to live near the city but not in it.
Don't run stay there and fight back! Vote in better people. Whatever you do do not just move somewhere else and continue to vote for the shit that ruined where you lived.
I am a Canadian living in Thailand and I am watching your videos religiously you are the best news ever because everyone understands but's going through their heads and through their wallets and you are the only person who has ever told the truth
It’s like those signs that say “Respect. Hate has no place in our transit system.” Oh, well, since you put up a sign I guess all those people with hate crimes on their mind will go home. So empty. People here think ideas alone can stop ideas. Without enforcement, it doesn’t make a difference.
Is there such a thing as living comfortably in nyc? That city stresses me out even visiting. That city sucks theres nothing redeemable besides maybe broadway
California was cool 15-20 years ago. New York has always been messed up. Just a bunch of rude a holes. They also love to move to your state and constantly call it garbage and talk about how great NYC is, yet they left.

@@GhostproJoe Yup. I did the same trip. 13 went to NY and there isn't a broadway show or a Good Morning America that will make me forget seeing a crackhead dancing down the street shouting in 2008. Haven't ever thought NY was the "place to be."
I am so lucky. I live in the Bronx in a fairly decent area. My 1 bedroom is only $1350 but I've been here for 11 years. Never missed a payment or late on rent. My landlord loves me and gives me a break because he said it's hard from him to find responsible, respectful people to rent to these days.
That woman really said 'I think there needs to be subsidies for the middle income' Really? I think there needs to be less taxes. Answer to too much government probably isn't more government
That's part of the country's problem the government has people thinking they really need there help ,your 100% right they keep taxing us into poverty were doing nothing
It’s like listening to people constantly talk about how bad massive corporations are because of the immoral people who run them. Then they talk about how government is above that 😂
@@Brobrobagins420the irony that people think the government would/could do anything about them despite them only existing because the government allowed it in the first place is hilarious.
Every time I watch these videos you make I feel that NYC isn't a city, it's a science experiment like a Fallout Vault. And they keep changing the parameters to see how the test subjects, e.g. citizens adapt to the experiments.
Have you ever seen that popular scene from "my dinner with Andre"? Quote from the scene: “Where are you from?” And I said, “New York.” And he said, “Ah, New York, yes, that’s a very interesting place. Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave, but never do?” And I said, “Oh, yes.” And he said, “Why do you think they don’t leave?” And I gave him different banal theories. And he said, “Oh, I don’t think it’s that way at all.” He said, “I think that New York is the new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing that they’ve built-they’ve built their own prison-and so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners. And as a result they no longer have-having been lobotomized-the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made or even to see it as a prison.” And then he went into his pocket, and he took out a seed for a tree, and he said, “This is a pine tree.” And he put it in my hand. And he said, “Escape before it’s too late. Wallace Shawn
I feel like this quote from Fallout: New Vegas is a good pairing to this analogy: "From where you're kneeling it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. Truth is... the game was rigged from the start." -Benny
NYC is a investment hub for all the millionaires and billionaires, most of these giant buildings are filled with empty apartments owned by billionaires They hold these empty apartments because they are seen as a hedge against inflation, the billionaires don't want to store all their money in dollars in banks, and US stocks are already a massive bubble. Why don't they just buy stocks? Because there is something called PE ratio, Price to earnings and most of the investable companies are already over 100 to 1 PE ratio meaning that its most likely a bubble All the people inside Manhattan commute from the outer boroughs or the tristate area they typically spend 1->2 hours commuting to the city and another 1->2 hours leaving the city everyday
I live in AZ and am shocked at how many foreign plates are coming in. people who make 100k plus a year are buying all the homes that were once affordable because they're doing remote work from home jobs out here while still making that NY income. For a while it was the people coming over from Cali but its gotten so much worse. Ill never be able to afford a home doing a trade job because im almost always outbid by some NY resident that can come do a job from there and live here and im only making the AZ income standard. We see it all the times with property management companies buying out entire blocks of homes to rent out.
The problem is the property management companies renting out for top dollar. Here in NYC, we have rich foreigners buy up luxury real estate and take space off the market. If developers weren't catering to the high end, people might stay in NYC. Unfortunately, everyone is chasing the money so they are always looking for the highest dollar.
Same in Utah and Idaho… it’s changed the state socially as well. I feel like I’m actually in California where neighbors no longer talk to each other. I always despised that type of toxic culture, but now it’s here. The community is evaporating.
We don't have that problem in St Louis MO? It's all in the perception MGMT. Renters fire off their guns at night to make the area a "dangerous" place. Keeps the rents down.
So they can’t develop more apartments because their utility infrastructure is over capacity (sewage, water), and they can’t add to their tax base because they don’t have enough housing, seems paradoxical.
Your channel went from showing apartments to NYC life. I like it. It was good the first way, but it is really good this way. And your vocal flow is outstanding.
America is now well into its post-industrial phase. Working-class jobs continue to decline as AI and automation displaces people. The benefits of AI and automation accrue almost entire to people who are in control of capital and resources. BTW, people often interchange 'middle class' with 'working class'. Most people who consider themselves 'middle class' are in fact working class. There is no more room in NYC for working class people. The city is for the rich. The working class will move to Jersey. Everyone else will move to Alabama.
Honestly I almost shredded a tear when you said most of the time you’re gonna spend it in your room because you don’t have enough money to hang out, nor do you have any plans due to the shops closing because of shoplifting. But the worst part is that I don’t believe that city leaders are gonna take drastic action any time soon, or they plan this shit from the start. At this point for me, guess I’ll just accept my fate with no actual purpose in life and my existence as empty as my pockets. 😔
When I was in high school, every single place I went, teenagers were there working. Now everywhere you go, it’s people in their thirties and forties or older working there. Service jobs are not meant to support families, they’re meant to put some pocket change in teenagers pockets, and teach them how the world works. As far as renting goes, that’s what you do with roommates while you’re saving for a home. Can you imagine renting cars, or furniture, or appliances, you’d be broke for ever. Live within your means, or be a slave forever!
That is a good point. In vacation areas like Cape Cod I noticed employers of restaurants buy a building and turn it into dorms for Irish young people who want an American experience. Where are the American teens supposed to live unless their family owns a vacation home! And this was about 10 years ago!
Wrong. Every job should be able to support a family. That's why the minimum wage was invented. You're just repeating propaganda from service corporations to keep wages low. “It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
The bad news is that it’s like this everywhere. Tucson used to be livable but the housing costs no longer represents the average wages in the area. I am college educated, veteran, healthy with excellent credit. However, despite working 6 days a week, I can only afford a campsite. Not safe.
Hooah, as a fellow veteran who lives outside of Tucson. You can find homes, but you will have to travel farther outside the city. I bought a home years ago after leaving the military, but I was searching for almost a year. My house is worth almost twice as much now. Don't give up, it's possible to find a home, but be prepared to search for awhile.
2 years ago a friend of mine took a 40% pay cut to work remotely, he now has savings, lives in a house(not a flat) and has 5 months salary in savings. He said , 100% of his salary was used up to just breathe in New York but only 30% of his income is used to breathe outside New York.
People originally wanted to live in Manhattan for the culture, but if you are working all the time to afford it, why not live and work in Philly or NJ and go in the city once in a while. Less stress! More space.
Currently, the average monthly rent payment for an entire family living in NYC public housing is $557. If you're a white person with a job it's like $10,000 / month.
It's eerie but exactly the same issues confront Melbourne, Australia. Wealthier people now renting instead of buying, vacancy rates sitting stubborn at around 0.7%, councils refusing to approve new developments due to chronic NIMBYism, the only difference is rents aren't that high yet at a median of $3000. But they're catching up, inflating at around 20% per year! Median house prices in Australia nationwide around $1 million. The problem here is there is nowhere to go. From Sydney to tiny outback towns, everywhere is full, there's simply nothing to rent. And governments everywhere seem powerless to act because that would upset landlords!
Good(ish) public transportation (in comparison to other cities, where you'll die without a car), everything (food, theaters, art, etc) is here, 3 major airports are a bus/train ride away, my job and my health insurance. Those are the reasons I live in NYC. But yeah, the city is becoming more and more expensive every couple months
I used to live in New York City a long time ago, Even back then when I left the prices were getting ridiculous, now since COVID everyone's taking full advantage, people are showing their true colors and how selfish and self-centered and greedy they truly are, now I'm paying $1,050 for a two bedroom, So you can keep those crazy ridiculous prices of $4,000 apartments that are technically not worth anything more than $1,000 a month, Because eventually one day they're not going to have anyone to rent them to until they drop those prices, So just let the city do what it's doing and tear itself apart, Because of anyone else hasn't noticed New York City is turning into an open sore, That's why they call it the rotten apple AKA the Big Apple, Even living in a bad area like the Bronx you're still spending $3,000 a month on an apartment in a bad neighborhood who wants to deal with that nonsense ?Not me I'd rather have a two-bedroom apartment for $1,050 in a nice area, where I could walk around at any given time and not have to spend $8 for a hot chocolate😢
@exposure_in_the_elements, I'm glad you were able to _escape_ and I'm not going to ask where you are but it sounds like you're in a better place! I expect that without Joe Bribery's "Bidenomix/BidINFLATION", you'd likely be paying even less. I'm hoping that if it's your goal, you can work on establishing a mortgage! I rented for a number of years and sometimes it was good just because you didn't have to deal with maintenance etc., but the lack of privacy, land and having nothing to show for it after 5 yrs of renting, made me more determined not rent in the future if I could help it. Those NY rental prices are just off the charts for what amounts to a "living space" that's less than the "master bathroom" in some homes.... My brother's "tool shed" is larger than some of those apartments. I can get a metal garage 20'x40'x12' "150mph wind certified", delivered and setup for less than $14,000, yet some people in NY are paying more to rent a "closet with a toilet" for 3-6 months. It ought to be criminal!
NYC and NYS went from “It’s the economy stoopid!” To “Way too Stoopid to understand the economy”…. NYC passed up Zeldin for a lady who thinks black kids don’t know what computers are. Exactly.
What did they expect to happen when you vote for people against the hardworking American, if you’re leaving you better keep your politics there as well and don’t bring them with you

Look into Tokyo. Every issue that's been highlighted in these videos the Japanese government has been addressed. It's not all sunshine and rainbows of course and Japanese language is diffuclt and the society exclusionary. But street crime is nonexistent, the metro network is vast, safe and reliable. And most importantly, housing is affordable. Of course there's expensive af areas but it's all very accessible to people from all walks of life.

I'll stay in my nice little Midwestern town where my 3 bedroom, one and a half bath, nice sized yard home is only $550 a month. Big city living is not for me!
I live in Nova Scotia and pay 500 a month Canadian (like 300 american) for a 3 bedroom apartment above a very quiet clinic that only opens 9-5 M-F and I have the entire upstairs of the building. When they're closed I have nobody else in the building at all. I live within a 5 minute drive of any amenity I would use in NYC (any food you can think of, great grocery stores, a huge YMCA gym with a pool and tons of free classes). My total expenses are $1100 Canadian (about 900USD) per month. I'd be able to afford to live comfortably in almost any job and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Small city living is the best

I live in Tampa and you can hardly go a mile without seeing New York plates. Because of the amount of people moving here, rents have more than doubled in the last 10 years. I have lived here my whole life and it has gotten so expensive, that I am moving to the Philippines next month.

When I was a teenager I lived in my car for about a year and a half to two years. I moved off grid December 2019 before covid. The only regret I have of moving off grid I wish I would have done it years ago! Because after 9/ 11, 2008 I could see where they were taking this country. I'm so glad I moved off grid before co vid hit. Because my landlord was already talking about a big price and signing a two-year lease increase before co vid! And my landlord told me I was the second best tenant have you ever had. But the more I did the worse it got. Freedom means everything now more money goes in my pocket! And if you can't save the extra $1,000 you've got a month something is wrong with that picture. Everyone should have an emergency cash nest egg! This is vital for you're piece of mind, freedom and not losing everything you have and ending up homeless! And someone that doesn't drive a vehicle can't leave in an emergency! And you're waiting on someone else to pick you up in an emergency this is dangerous!
Agreed. The apartment building collapse in Davenport last summer was a renovated building not done correctly. The leaking plumbing deteriorated brick and ended up killing residents when it crashed.
So sad, all the wealthy that can afford to live there, won't be able to go outside, have maids, unless they live in. What will they do???No place to shop unless they build an ironclad prison mall for themselves!

They sure don't think very far ahead! .
I've been a New Yorker all my life, with parents who make very little money (we're talking barely able to make over $30,000 a year combined for as long as I've known them - and things aren't looking any better in terms of expected projections).

*Cash how can you seriously say that $3,495 a month for a one bedroom (especially something that tiny) is “actually pretty good”??? Now that’s just ridiculous!*
The same song and dance happens here too in the PNW. I've been working at an apartment complex for 10 years and in that span rent on my unit, three bed/ two bath, has doubled but wages haven't even moved up a third. My entire rent is comped and that's really the only reason we've stayed. If we had to go out of pocket on it it would become a really resentful situation.
Over 8 million people live in that city yet no-one can afford to live there? The rents are so high no one can afford it, yet there’s a shortage of properties because it’s the most densely populated city in the Usa? 🤔 the prices are extortionate to me,it’s always been expensive there 🤷🏻♀️

Cash is making real cash now. The subscribers is skyrocketing. Yeah we sick of NYC for sure. Sadly many NYers is stuck here for awhile coz of family or friends which some were shot or assaulted.
It baffled me why poor people would choose to live in the most expensive city in the country, and then complained it’s too expensive. There are so many cities and towns that are way more affordable to live in.
A lot of people are simply born into poverty and their family was already living there. Can’t exactly move so easily if you’re broke when it costs thousands to do so. The same is just across the country in most major cities where cost of living is high. It’s not always a choice.

Yeah but before 96 it was a nightmare. Way worse than it is now. This channel is misrepresenting the reality of New York right now. Heightening the worst of New York and making it seem like it is the norm. This channel is pure fear mongering for profit. Go for a stroll anywhere in the city today. And then compare that to going for a walk prior 1996, and in the 80s, and in the 70s. If one was to go only by this channel one would think that New York is on the brink of collapse.

I'm a musician, I live in Manhattan, and I've survived comfortably on less than $30k per year including saving for retirement. Many of my friends are in Brooklyn with a similar income and they make it work. Even my heroes, jazz musicians who tour the world and teach at the most prestigious universities in NY, probably make on average between $50k and $100k per year. It's doable if you're not competing with your "friends" on instagram for who looks the coolest while actually being broke. Yes it's expensive, yes the opportunities for anyone under the age of about 40 are absolutely garbage compared to previous generations, but you can still cook your own dinner, pay your own bills, and give everyone the finger if you budget well. Just my opinion.
hahaha new york times paywall! I lived my whole life in NYC, only had a social life once or twice a year, eating value menu meals at fast food joints whenever my roommates messed up the kitchen, only going to tourist stuff and shows if my richer friends came to visit me and paid my way. NYC offers so much but i couldn't afford any of it on my own. Now i live across the country, my annual pay is still way under $100k, but i have a social life now while living comfortably without messy drunk high stoned roommates to deal with. It would be nice if NYC could become affordable and liveable, but it's never gonna happen.
I’m a former resident of NYC. Born and raised. This has been a slow burn since at least the tail end of the Dinkins administration and the start of the Giuliani administration.
the poor aint going anywhere. 25% of apartments are rent control/stab. its the people who can afford to move, who are moving and keeping their jobs within the city. they have money to pay higher rents in the burbs plus additional transportation costs to commute to the city.
@@shreddersaurusrex323Poor people move all time. How do all these people from Central America get here? How do people get out of NY and Ca on a daily basis then? They can afford it stop with the lies.
@@thetapheonix You realize that some of those ppl are in debt to the cartels that transported them right? Your idea is essentially a dart on the wall. You don’t care about the people you’re looking down on.
Each flick wastes more, especially if that space is going to be used later that day. A SMART 'dad' would know that its more cost effective to flip the switch only once or twice a day. Also, nice antiquated thinking. Technology has improved since your 1950s house. With LED bulbs, it's actually better to NEVER turn said light off. And ALWAYS use dimmer switches therein.
I found a $450 nice one bedroom in Jackson Heights in 1986. In 1992 I left and it was around $600. Half hour trip from my $25 - 30K job. I don't know what the answer is today and I doubt any one else does either, as CJ kind of suggests in this excellent video.
Demand for housing in NYC is so high right now that he probably ran out of viable listings to sell. So he had to essentially become a right-wing propagandist and start making clickbait videos pandering to the worst sorts of people in order to make ends meet and try to drive housing demand back down... it was the only option... what a shame... it really is hard out here 😢
Cash is in real estate? He showed his apartment in one video and that looked like a shoebox. I'm outside NYC and would make enough to scrape by in a $1400/mo apartment, but I don't want to live in the Bronx to do it. Better to stay at my folks plan/work to move out the state entirely.
The millionaires have gotten smarter the days of seven and $8 million apartments flying off on contracts like million Dollar listing Reality Show are gone. They don’t trust the politics of the city or if they buy a place will it end up devaluing on them or they’ll end up getting stuck not being able to unload them.
Imagine the nightmare of being a landlord in NYC with the byzantine regulations, rent control, leftist judges, lawsuits, criminality, and so on. Just saw a RUclips vid of a renter proudly showing how he had effectively stolen his multi-million dollar condo from the landlord on a lease technicality. He can live there for the rest of his life for a tiny monthly rent payment. Landlord offered to pay him out 250k and he refused!
My wife and I left NYC 7 years ago to move to a small New England town. It was the wisest decision I ever made Good riddance to NYC . The price for any kind of life is too great there.
Cash, you got it right when you said wages seem to be falling further and further behind the cost of living. This is especially true when it seems like a bunch of rich people are trying to get rid of the rest of us.
@@chrisdonovan8258 Nah, I was a transplant to Brooklyn. But after the two tornados hit there, I knew the city couldn't handle a real disaster. Combine that with the rising rents, costs etc, I started to plot my escape. It just so happened that I was driving away from NYC in the outer bands of Sandy.
Thank goodness I left NYC! I hope you and your family head to greener pastures as well. New York City is done. Love your videos, keep it up Cash! Much love From Las Vegas! 😎 🏜️ 🃏
Rented is becoming more attractive because, unlike buying a house. When you buy a house, you gotta stay there. When you rent, you can easily leave and disappear when you want to. This is why I live alternatively. I don't have to stay in one place. I love it. That's more freedom. I'll never buy a place again ever. I want to freedom to disappear when I feel like it.
How long will you work? How long will you be able to work? How long do you think you can even hold a job in today's times? One should have a house of their own anywhere so even in the worst case scenario, you have a roof over your head.
That's fine and in the US you have the freedom to do so. But you're the exception, and I reckon you know that. Most people want to settle down with a good job, wed, buy a home, have a family, etc.
It also effects towns around it. I live in Bergen County NJ. In Hackensack, Teaneck, etc, they are doing all this new apartment construction for those fleeing NYC. The problem i, 5 years ago you could get a 2 bedroom from 1800-2400 a month. Now you are lucky if you could get a 1 bedroom for 2400 a month and 2 bedrooms are almost 3k. While way cheaper then Manhattan, price are in some cases 80% higher than just 5 years ago.
Me too, I took my 10 year old on her spring break for a few days. Things were clean I and felt safe and no evidence of rats or garbage. I even went in Feb. 2023 and felt pretty safe on my own as a solo female tourist for a class reunion and the vibes were fine. In just one year things went downhill!
@@katelanxner278 yes it went downhill so fast! It's scary. NY has always been America's cool and interesting city that many wanted to visit. It has such history and culture, but it's being diminished day by day. Best to you ❤️
Problem from the start of creating a massive city on an island. Bottle neck traffic on each tunnel and bridge. I don't want to visit but my family is still living in NYC.
I had to move several times in my lifetime because of the cost of living or lack of work. This has been the driving force for lots of human migration, that and war. I also had to retrain myself several times. This is normal.
Correct. People focus more on working a 9 to 5 instead of acquiring an in demand skill set that can generate income anywhere...it's not that hard, just takes application
I read an article from Algezeera last night on Indians have a work shortage. They are applying to work construction in Iseral even with the war. The salary is decent. Men said they would rather take their chances even with rockets flying overhead than to stay in India and starve. Iseral is not tolerant of diversity so not sure how well it will work out. Might be okay while work is needed but not a permanent home.
And they welcomed 180,000 more people and are still coming who will not be able to afford to live there also. Soon NYC will be just millionaires and immigrants
NYC has the most generous welfare state in America by far. Rent control, housing projects, food stamps and free healthcare, legal stealing, etc. I think it's now just college students, the poor living off the government, and super-elite professionals making over 1M/year.
Make it unaffordable for the average person.....sounds like that was the plan from the start
Makes you wonder how stupid these NYC politicians are. That very well could be the plan, but where does the “go soft on crime” then push out your top earners for it?
Politicians are stupid, but NYC politicians are Special Olympians.
But you can get free housing if u illegally break into the country
Yep.
@@BFaluupShameful, isn't it?
Terrible
$68 billion spent on border crossers by the U.S. Govt. in 2023 alone. I wonder if that money could be put to better use for actual citizens of the U.S.?
Nope because they need the votes and/or the population inflation to increase the electorates. Plus over half of population is brainwashed to vote for the people running this clown show anyway so they got no worries there.
Not possible when ‘other’ poor people from the world has less than Americans. We are supposed to be all the same and equalized under globalism. Hence bail reform and immigration
You aren’t allowed to use common sense! That’s racist!
Democrats spent $68 billion on border crossers and just a few years before during the Trump administration when he was trying to get the wall built, Democrats said we couldn’t afford $5 billion for a border wall. 😡
That is just "wrong think" these days. It used to be called "common sense".
It's the same here in Germany. Prices have doubled or tripled. Rent prices are going through the roof. And our government is wasting billions on other countries or refugees who can't behave here. We're all screwed.
I am in lower Bavaria…inflation seems to be 6-9 months behind others…and in small suburbs rent hasnt moved too much, I thinks it is mainly in larger cities. Thank God we aren’t in USA, food up 43% in last 18 months…I see about 20% around us. I hope it slows down soon.
All part of Klaus ‘Ernst Stavro Blofeld’ Schwab’s plan for us to own nothing, eat ze bugs and be happy!
Oh we are going to ignore the Millions of dollars our super rich scoot out of the country to not pay taxes and zoom in on the immigrants our weapons have created

Same in NY, money for the migrants while the city falls apart
Same in UK too.
Add the insane world of DEI too and the deck is stacked against native Brits.

as someone from NC i always thought new york was a cool place to live in but maybe back in the early 2010s, and now I have no interest in living there, after seeing how expensive its become. No wonder I see so many new Yorkers move down south here.
Sad
But did you keep voting the same way when you left ? Alot of people left Cali and moved to Arizona. They just brought the same garbage problems there.
You wouldn't need "subsides" for the middle class if the government didn't tax/fee them into poverty.
Right on, always the same ones doing the damage.
More subsidies means more taxes to pay for those subsidies, which means less money going into people’s pockets.
@@CModelli99Correct. Plus inflation also knocks down the value of the dollars you have left.
Yep!
They need to work on their math!
Rent and bills and taxes and prices could be lower then they are!😮

I've lived in midtown Manhattan since the 70s and over the past 10 years or so the quality of living has really gone down. It is dirtier and there is a significant amount of crime on the streets. People don't care for each other. 80% of New York State is so much nicer and different from NYC.
Thats why i cant wait to move upstate, and get out of this,shit. Everynight when im heading to my car to go to work im praying as i walk, with pepperspray in hand, its so sad
So why aren't ppl making videos telling ppl how to survive? If 80% of NY is better than NYC, where are these places?
Why don't we have other countries to welcome Americans?
This isn't just NYC, it's all over the country.
On SS, seniors avg benefit is about $1500/month. No sub housing, just years of waiting lists, and new border breakers are getting them first.

There's really nothing else to give up.

Peter was like "I don't feel so good Mr. Stark" bout the crime, filth and rent in NY 😂
Born in Manhattan, I lived in Brooklyn until I was 13. My parents moved us to South Florida. I was employed by Ma Bell in Miami and at 19 I took a transfer to New York Telephone. It was exciting. I was working in the World Trade Center as it was being constructed. Drafted 6 months later and returned four years later to a place that was in bankruptcy. Police, Firemen, Sanitation, and Taxis on strike.
I'd gotten married three years before to a South Jersey Girl. There was no way she'd live there and neither one of us wanted to raise children there. So I did four years of commuting to and from New Jersey. It's no way to live. So, I took another transfer South to North Carolina. Reasonably priced, decent people and in a big city. The reasonable costs allowed us to own an ocean front house to rent out in summers. Now it's our pension. We've also bought and sold a number of condos. Our son got a good education as an engineer at one of the five best engineering schools. A state school and reasonably priced. And, I get to own guns and a concealed carry permit. So does my wife. A necessity nowadays. Too many Northerners moved here and brought the Democrat Party with them. They also brought liberal criminal laws and liberal judges.
Had I stayed in New York and New Jersey I'd never have done so well.
It pains me to criticize New York City. It's been my family's home since 1627 when they came from the Netherlands with a couple of hundred years of farming in New Jersey. The city is an exciting place but I don't see the use of living there any longer. It's unsafe, and far too expensive.
I agreed I moving out. NY. I can’t wait..
South Jersey girl here!
Thank for you this comment. I'm moving to North Carolina. The education is by far the best compared to the college I attend. Every time I would visit NC I dread coming back home to NY. My family says I won't make the same amount of money in NC but I honestly just want to have a piece of mind and feel safe. I also want a better education. There are so many opportunities in NC compared to NY. Everyone is inviting and welcoming in NC. I love that there's so much space and properties in NC. I'm tired of the overcrowdedness in NY. NY is so expensive I don't want to go anywhere. NY has messed with my mental state. I'm always looking around my surroundings. No one should live like that.

After watching many Cash Jordan videos, I have decided that New York City is literally HELL ON EARTH.

I pay 2100 for a fully renovated 2 bedroom apartment in Queens. Manhattan is a RIP off.
Cash tends to focus on Manhattan because it has prices that spark disbelief and upset. That said, for some reason some people prefer to spend more for less, perhaps for a shorter commute or other amenities of the community.
@@gagamba9198 I understand. I work in the upper east side but would never live in the city with those insane prices.
I pay $450 for a fully renovated apartment but I'm in Mississippi....I ain't complaining though 😅
@@TommyTomTompkins , I'm glad you've found something reasonably good for you! I'm on the "East Coast" and I own my home, paid it off 3 yrs ago, Thank you Lord! But one of my friends had rented a 2 bedroom apartment about 15 yrs ago and it was around ~$700/mo with full furnishings, washer/dryer inside their unit, utilities included etc. And this was I'd say about ~700-900 sq ft apartment not like these "shoeboxes with a toilet" in NY. NY is just going to be expensive period because of the higher taxes etc. Even though there may be some "positives", renting is always going to be generally _undesirable_ when compared to paying on a mortgage just because you'll never own the "apartment/home" that you're renting unless given the "rent with option to buy." I rented for 5 yrs and there were some positives, especially when I was younger but ideally I wanted to have something to show for all of those monthly payments other than "just a temporary place to stay." Thankfully now I do, I can borrow against my home, buy another home and rent this one out or sell it or just live payment-free besides taxes and insurance which are just a fraction of mortgage/rental payments.
@@gagamba9198 Shorter commute? If you walk and amenities of the community? Most NYC neighborhoods have gone to poo. Nothing is sacred in the city except going out to the eastern boroughs of Queens and maybe BK. For example, Penn or Grand stations both have the LIRR that takes you to neighborhoods in Queens where you can live with much less crime and BS than Manhattan has and in less than an hour. The neighborhoods are so much more vibrant and full of activity, unlike NYC which has just simply gone to poo. I"'ve been commuting for over a decade from the Great Neck area and I did live on the UES, BK, Astoria, and finally where I am today. Working for the city has its benefits and the commute just becomes part of your life. The LIRR is a good bet when you have to live near the city but not in it.

@@Brobrobagins420the irony that people think the government would/could do anything about them despite them only existing because the government allowed it in the first place is hilarious.
Every time I watch these videos you make I feel that NYC isn't a city, it's a science experiment like a Fallout Vault. And they keep changing the parameters to see how the test subjects, e.g. citizens adapt to the experiments.

Have you ever seen that popular scene from "my dinner with Andre"?
Quote from the scene:
“Where are you from?” And I said, “New York.” And he said, “Ah, New York, yes, that’s a very interesting place. Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave, but never do?” And I said, “Oh, yes.” And he said, “Why do you think they don’t leave?” And I gave him different banal theories. And he said, “Oh, I don’t think it’s that way at all.” He said, “I think that New York is the new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing that they’ve built-they’ve built their own prison-and so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners. And as a result they no longer have-having been lobotomized-the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made or even to see it as a prison.” And then he went into his pocket, and he took out a seed for a tree, and he said, “This is a pine tree.” And he put it in my hand. And he said, “Escape before it’s too late.

NYC is a investment hub for all the millionaires and billionaires, most of these giant buildings are filled with empty apartments owned by billionaires
They hold these empty apartments because they are seen as a hedge against inflation, the billionaires don't want to store all their money in dollars in banks, and US stocks are already a massive bubble.
Why don't they just buy stocks? Because there is something called PE ratio, Price to earnings and most of the investable companies are already over 100 to 1 PE ratio meaning that its most likely a bubble
All the people inside Manhattan commute from the outer boroughs or the tristate area they typically spend 1->2 hours commuting to the city and another 1->2 hours leaving the city everyday
I live in AZ and am shocked at how many foreign plates are coming in. people who make 100k plus a year are buying all the homes that were once affordable because they're doing remote work from home jobs out here while still making that NY income. For a while it was the people coming over from Cali but its gotten so much worse. Ill never be able to afford a home doing a trade job because im almost always outbid by some NY resident that can come do a job from there and live here and im only making the AZ income standard. We see it all the times with property management companies buying out entire blocks of homes to rent out.
The problem is the property management companies renting out for top dollar. Here in NYC, we have rich foreigners buy up luxury real estate and take space off the market. If developers weren't catering to the high end, people might stay in NYC. Unfortunately, everyone is chasing the money so they are always looking for the highest dollar.
Same in Utah and Idaho… it’s changed the state socially as well. I feel like I’m actually in California where neighbors no longer talk to each other. I always despised that type of toxic culture, but now it’s here. The community is evaporating.
I'm from Arizona, but I'm stuck living in low income state housing in moldy San Francisco.
Sad news to be hearing from my home state.

We don't have that problem in St Louis MO? It's all in the perception MGMT. Renters fire off their guns at night to make the area a "dangerous" place. Keeps the rents down.
Huge fan of this channel, perfect example on why legacy media is dead, formats like this are taking over.
The whole idea of paying that much to live in that apartment is beyond comprehension. NYC does not sustain life.
So let those with sense leave. Let the rich fortify their crime ridden streets until it all burns! They want this. Give it too them!
So they can’t develop more apartments because their utility infrastructure is over capacity (sewage, water), and they can’t add to their tax base because they don’t have enough housing, seems paradoxical.
Democrats deliberately push policies that nobody with half a mind would expect to work.
Your channel went from showing apartments to NYC life. I like it. It was good the first way, but it is really good this way. And your vocal flow is outstanding.
Imagine the same trend is slowly but surely applying to the whole country😢
America is now well into its post-industrial phase. Working-class jobs continue to decline as AI and automation displaces people. The benefits of AI and automation accrue almost entire to people who are in control of capital and resources. BTW, people often interchange 'middle class' with 'working class'. Most people who consider themselves 'middle class' are in fact working class. There is no more room in NYC for working class people. The city is for the rich. The working class will move to Jersey. Everyone else will move to Alabama.

@@bloodsports94 okay there Karl.
When I was in high school, every single place I went, teenagers were there working. Now everywhere you go, it’s people in their thirties and forties or older working there. Service jobs are not meant to support families, they’re meant to put some pocket change in teenagers pockets, and teach them how the world works. As far as renting goes, that’s what you do with roommates while you’re saving for a home. Can you imagine renting cars, or furniture, or appliances, you’d be broke for ever. Live within your means, or be a slave forever!
"You'll own nothing and be happy" Klaus Schwab
It's so sad seeing older men and women working at a fucking gas station or dollar general, they look so sad, for good reason.
That is a good point. In vacation areas like Cape Cod I noticed employers of restaurants buy a building and turn it into dorms for Irish young people who want an American experience. Where are the American teens supposed to live unless their family owns a vacation home! And this was about 10 years ago!
Wrong. Every job should be able to support a family. That's why the minimum wage was invented. You're just repeating propaganda from service corporations to keep wages low.
“It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.”

The bad news is that it’s like this everywhere. Tucson used to be livable but the housing costs no longer represents the average wages in the area.
I am college educated, veteran, healthy with excellent credit. However, despite working 6 days a week, I can only afford a campsite. Not safe.
Hooah, as a fellow veteran who lives outside of Tucson. You can find homes, but you will have to travel farther outside the city. I bought a home years ago after leaving the military, but I was searching for almost a year. My house is worth almost twice as much now. Don't give up, it's possible to find a home, but be prepared to search for awhile.
Look on the south side. Lots available there.
Yup Tucson is so ridiculously expensive now. And it's soooo shitty I don't get why everyone wants to be here now.
2 years ago a friend of mine took a 40% pay cut to work remotely, he now has savings, lives in a house(not a flat) and has 5 months salary in savings.
He said , 100% of his salary was used up to just breathe in New York but only 30% of his income is used to breathe outside New York.
People originally wanted to live in Manhattan for the culture, but if you are working all the time to afford it, why not live and work in Philly or NJ and go in the city once in a while. Less stress! More space.
In 1986 in Queens NY my one bedroom luxury apartment was $400 dollars a month.
Adjusted to inflation that's $1,140 now (early 2024).

It's eerie but exactly the same issues confront Melbourne, Australia. Wealthier people now renting instead of buying, vacancy rates sitting stubborn at around 0.7%, councils refusing to approve new developments due to chronic NIMBYism, the only difference is rents aren't that high yet at a median of $3000. But they're catching up, inflating at around 20% per year! Median house prices in Australia nationwide around $1 million. The problem here is there is nowhere to go. From Sydney to tiny outback towns, everywhere is full, there's simply nothing to rent. And governments everywhere seem powerless to act because that would upset landlords!
Why would you want to live there in the 1st place...it's beyond me.

It used to be cool.
Good(ish) public transportation (in comparison to other cities, where you'll die without a car), everything (food, theaters, art, etc) is here, 3 major airports are a bus/train ride away, my job and my health insurance.
Those are the reasons I live in NYC. But yeah, the city is becoming more and more expensive every couple months
NYC was the coolest place to live 15 years ago but then covid and politics ruined that.
It was one of "The places to be" before you or I were born. Get educated lil one. History is not only 20 years old 😂
I used to live in New York City a long time ago, Even back then when I left the prices were getting ridiculous, now since COVID everyone's taking full advantage, people are showing their true colors and how selfish and self-centered and greedy they truly are, now I'm paying $1,050 for a two bedroom, So you can keep those crazy ridiculous prices of $4,000 apartments that are technically not worth anything more than $1,000 a month, Because eventually one day they're not going to have anyone to rent them to until they drop those prices, So just let the city do what it's doing and tear itself apart, Because of anyone else hasn't noticed New York City is turning into an open sore, That's why they call it the rotten apple AKA the Big Apple, Even living in a bad area like the Bronx you're still spending $3,000 a month on an apartment in a bad neighborhood who wants to deal with that nonsense ?Not me I'd rather have a two-bedroom apartment for $1,050 in a nice area, where I could walk around at any given time and not have to spend $8 for a hot chocolate😢
It is not the small businesses that are raising prices out of greed, it is bad government policies that are dramatically raising prices.😊
What city do you live in?
@@hpotter2954yeah, that's what I was wondering too.
@exposure_in_the_elements, I'm glad you were able to _escape_ and I'm not going to ask where you are but it sounds like you're in a better place! I expect that without Joe Bribery's "Bidenomix/BidINFLATION", you'd likely be paying even less. I'm hoping that if it's your goal, you can work on establishing a mortgage! I rented for a number of years and sometimes it was good just because you didn't have to deal with maintenance etc., but the lack of privacy, land and having nothing to show for it after 5 yrs of renting, made me more determined not rent in the future if I could help it. Those NY rental prices are just off the charts for what amounts to a "living space" that's less than the "master bathroom" in some homes.... My brother's "tool shed" is larger than some of those apartments. I can get a metal garage 20'x40'x12' "150mph wind certified", delivered and setup for less than $14,000, yet some people in NY are paying more to rent a "closet with a toilet" for 3-6 months. It ought to be criminal!
Who charged you $8 for hot chocolate? Who?
NYC and NYS went from “It’s the economy stoopid!” To “Way too Stoopid to understand the economy”…. NYC passed up Zeldin for a lady who thinks black kids don’t know what computers are. Exactly.

When I was a teenager I lived in my car for about a year and a half to two years. I moved off grid December 2019 before covid. The only regret I have of moving off grid I wish I would have done it years ago! Because after 9/ 11, 2008 I could see where they were taking this country. I'm so glad I moved off grid before co vid hit. Because my landlord was already talking about a big price and signing a two-year lease increase before co vid! And my landlord told me I was the second best tenant have you ever had. But the more I did the worse it got. Freedom means everything now more money goes in my pocket! And if you can't save the extra $1,000 you've got a month something is wrong with that picture. Everyone should have an emergency cash nest egg! This is vital for you're piece of mind, freedom and not losing everything you have and ending up homeless! And someone that doesn't drive a vehicle can't leave in an emergency! And you're waiting on someone else to pick you up in an emergency this is dangerous!
Are you going to help all the poor people who don't have cars, and can never have $1,000 extra for emergencies. Use your brain.
Thank you, Cash, for explaining this phenomenon so that I can understand.
How is the medium income $75000 when a majority of jobs in the US are service industry jobs that pay minimum wage?
The median, not the average. So it's the middle amount between the lowest wage and the highest wage
Turning an office into a living space is hard to put plumbing in each unit is crazy.
Yup, turning office space into lots of individual residential apartments is not as easy as it sounds and is very expensive to do.
Agreed. The apartment building collapse in Davenport last summer was a renovated building not done correctly. The leaking plumbing deteriorated brick and ended up killing residents when it crashed.
So sad, all the wealthy that can afford to live there, won't be able to go outside, have maids, unless they live in.

They sure don't think very far ahead!

The same song and dance happens here too in the PNW.

My entire rent is comped and that's really the only reason we've stayed. If we had to go out of pocket on it it would become a really resentful situation.

I'm a musician, I live in Manhattan, and I've survived comfortably on less than $30k per year including saving for retirement.

Rented is becoming more attractive because, unlike buying a house. When you buy a house, you gotta stay there. When you rent, you can easily leave and disappear when you want to. This is why I live alternatively. I don't have to stay in one place. I love it. That's more freedom. I'll never buy a place again ever. I want to freedom to disappear when I feel like it.
How long will you work? How long will you be able to work? How long do you think you can even hold a job in today's times? One should have a house of their own anywhere so even in the worst case scenario, you have a roof over your head.
That's fine and in the US you have the freedom to do so. But you're the exception, and I reckon you know that. Most people want to settle down with a good job, wed, buy a home, have a family, etc.
Don't have to tell me twice to leave.
It also effects towns around it. I live in Bergen County NJ. In Hackensack, Teaneck, etc, they are doing all this new apartment construction for those fleeing NYC. The problem i, 5 years ago you could get a 2 bedroom from 1800-2400 a month. Now you are lucky if you could get a 1 bedroom for 2400 a month and 2 bedrooms are almost 3k. While way cheaper then Manhattan, price are in some cases 80% higher than just 5 years ago.

Correct. People focus more on working a 9 to 5 instead of acquiring an in demand skill set that can generate income anywhere...it's not that hard, just takes application
I read an article from Algezeera last night on Indians have a work shortage. They are applying to work construction in Iseral even with the war. The salary is decent. Men said they would rather take their chances even with rockets flying overhead than to stay in India and starve. Iseral is not tolerant of diversity so not sure how well it will work out. Might be okay while work is needed but not a permanent home.
And they welcomed 180,000 more people and are still coming who will not be able to afford to live there also. Soon NYC will be just millionaires and immigrants
