Some of these vendors don't have legal vending licenses issued from the city of New york
If the prices are cheap and the goods aren't fakes, what is the issue. Convince me as a consumer to give a single damn about permits.
Some people are born to obey and ask zero questions. This guy sounds like he'd harass a kid for selling lemonade without a permit or some shit lol@@dreamshapes
When humans are turned to weapons against other humans just making a living. Some of yall are government bootlickers to an extreme. Knocking people for trying to make a living. It's damn Grosse. You people are horrible.
@@dreamshapesmany of the items are stolen and the illegal aliens aren’t paying taxes.
@@cptfreeman8966these aren’t children these are military aged men who illegally entered this country.
Often these sellers don't have vendor's licenses, don't list prices - as required by NYC law
Illegal migrants perhaps
What part of illegal don't they understand ???
the part starting when they invaded
Illegals DONT FOLLOW RULES
We need to help them succeed. If they succeed, they will be able to hire ppl and bring more jobs.
@@jbalien20 we've got enough landscaping companies and muffler shops already 🦃
@@x-raycat323 we need more jobs. The ppl need more available jobs. Jobs for everyone.
Pretty insane the vendors have the money for equipment and merchandise but don’t rent a space where kiosks are allowed like a mall, annex, etc.
Because it is not legal. They report no income and most pay no taxes.
To rent spaces you have to have a real business.

They pay more in taxes than Trump...
@@DarthestWiffiest sure no taxes on trump tower. 😂
@JuicySmoolietsSubwaySamm-bq4nn
That's rich coming from a magat.
@@ryanwalters6184
He literally paid less than $1,000 in taxes on it last year.
I pay 3 times that every year.
But do go on...
this a dump
That’s hilarious. To think that people operating a shady business under the radar are not also collecting on any taxpayer funded program? 😂😂😂
I think that you're absolutely correct, especially those selling stolen goods.
You know this for sure? Report them Mr. Civic Duty.
These vendors have a honest days of work unlike the Mayor and his cronies.
Or are those vendors selling stolen goods?
No they haven't joined the BLM looters yet.
si si
This massive vendor selling is a NEW NIGHTMARE! People selling all kinds of questionable goods are making money on the streets. You couldn’t pay me to eat that stuff!!!
Yeah, good for you. A lot of the time that food is hideously spoiled.
So true! I know two people that got violently ill after eating vendor a couple of years back, each one on separate occasions. I will never buy any kind food, not even a pretzel from a street vendor. @@stevenmitchell1
One of my favorite things about living in Washington Heights is the sheer number of vendors. It’s so nice to walk down St. Nicholas and pick up some little trinkets or cheap clothes. I can’t imagine being upset by something like this.
First the waiting list for a vendor’s license is decades long with veterans being a priority and I believe there’s a two year wait list for them. Second the process isn’t easy to navigate if you’re not familiar. Third there is a list of qualifying items that can/can’t be sold in designated areas so if your product falls under certain conditions you can’t sell at all or in certain areas. Then there are blocks on other areas because other vendors have permits in that area and have locked it down so that’s another process and years long wait to get considered for that area.
Now before you’re licensed to sell certain things in some cases you first have to get other licenses and certifications to do so,
Now there are other applications for other types of vendor’s licenses like a temporary license but that limits where you can sell, what, and how many times a week.
I could go on and on about the amount of regulations and cost associated with getting a license but I’ll let some of y’all continue to type and remove the doubt
Being a Vendor or deciding to be a vendor is a choice not a requirement.
Banning them from the bridge was due to a safety issue why is that vendor leader saying it wasn't a solution. It was
As a tourist it takes away from the nyc experience to have them on the bridge. That and the loud music by the hot dog stand vendor on the manhattan side.
This is BS. Check these people’s credentials and find a place for the legal ones to sell. Make the other areas vendor free zones.
they are all illegals
pretty simple answer.....confiscate all their stuff.....it is stolen anyway.......take the merchandise, their cash, their shelves and anything else
Why are you assuming it’s stolen Karen ?
That's really disrespectful to Mayor Adams. 😆 If only he had a police force or something to enforce the laws. 😆
😂😂😂😂😂
There's no law saying they can't be there, so what are the cops gonna do
All the sellers need vendor's licenses
So what’s the point for the legal venders paying thousands every month to maintain their legal selling status??
Same as the point of legal immigrants paying tens of thousands of dollars to come here the right way.
Vets usually get the permits so any unlicensed vendors need to go and apply like our vets so because of the unlicensed the licensed vendors hurt it’s not right
People still go to New York City to vacation, crazy.
Having Trash Collectors operating as Police and Code Enforcement officers..
Only in NYC.
😂😂😂😂😂
The problem is enough already too many of them there no place to walk for pedestrians they need to have license if they want to sell on the street the sidewalk are narrow as it they need to send them back and send funds to their country to help them you don’t see this going on in Canada the border are very strict close the border
Canadian here it is going on just as bad.
Been to both Toronto and Montreal in Canada. They had vendors everywhere. Just as bad as NY.
WHAT about vendors licensing anpeddler'sTaxes!! These venders need to have a peddler's license and a vender's Tax. tax them out of business!!!!
This is what happens when you have people with little or no education allowed in the county they can't get a real job these are facts..
Why is people so bothered by street vendors? You rather have them stealing than making a decent living. Specially in a city like NYC? Everything is expensive. The vendors stay at the beginning of the bridge. They don’t stand in your picture if you walk up a bit more. We need to empathize more and even help these people. They are also providing for the economy because every penny spent means income for the city.
The BROOKLYN BRIDGE With its GREAT HISTORY Should be RESPECTED❤
So we have to let them make a living illegally 🎉😮😂
The ones without a license should not sell. They take away from small businesses like mom and pop stores. Abd they dont pay any fees.
confisticate the carts and arrest them!
We, the average tax paying New Yorker, are being played hard!
I took my mom to the Brooklyn Bridge back in November. Something she had always wanted to do. The vendors made it impossible to just walk. We ended up turning around. I have been to the Bridge hundreds of times but it was just too crowded with vendors. Plus tourists it was not a fun experience. I'm a New Yorker born and raised I don't mind people getting their money but there had to be a balance.
Ridiculous . This really hurts
People who have stores.
Where do the materials come from ?
Much is stolen .
I laughed cause I knew this would happen . Ppl are just stubborn
So where can I buy a Brooklyn Bridge??
Shutting the bridge down was good. Please be quiet, Mohammed. Blocking the bridge is an absolute safety hazard that shouldn't have been allowed to go on for so long. Personally, I don't even like incessant vendors everywhere. Makes the neighboorhood look like a third world. The city should put up a maximum number of allowed vendors (off-bridge) and stick to it. Any vendor that violates that will get their items seized. No exceptions.
Most of these people are not paying taxes. Just put them in prison.
"In 2022 we welcomed 56.7 million visitors. We've recovered roughly 85 percent of our record 2019 visitation. These visitors generated $68.1 billion in economic impact and $6.2 billion in local tax revenue"....there in lies where the city has it's priority. Much of these areas are overrun with more tourists than vendors. Where's NYC for those who reside here day to day can enjoy?
I Totally and Fully Agree
These streets vendors prepare for snowstorm tomorrow
DiBlasio opened up that can of worms and now it’s completely out of control. Same with the subways and time square peddlers.
I laughed when Adams said we need order in the city!! Who’s he kidding? As long as our police are handcuffed and crime remains legal in nyc, we will never have order.
The entire city looks like a dump.....And I lived there 15 years
People say the USA is all boring suburbs because other countries have alley markets and people in the streets selling warm food 😂
How stupid is New York
Professor Chaos and General Disarray makes the rules Not Mayor of NYC 😂😂😂😅😅
They should find them an open parking lot, and direct people to the lot. Most people are not there to buy those trinkets. Why should the vendors take over this iconic block? And ruin the experience for the majority.
The MAYOR should out a stop to it
NY = a total 💩 hole 👍
New York is so cool, If only I could afford to live on top of my neighbor and sniff everyone’s farts on the subway every morning.
Pigs go anywhere to forage
They won't get them on sanitary, considering this city still piles out a 100 garbage bags a building right on the sidewalk, they have to fine themselves.
I want to make a Broadway play about tbis. "welcome to New yorrkkkkkkkkkkk where the rats come out and tne people shout (swings around a pole) oooh i just caught poop on my shooeee or is it something elseeere" lights fade to monologue
Are these vendors paying the taxes that everyone is forced too
no
Every summer I would visit different parts of east Asia and South Asia as a kid. NYC has become no different. Ever since work from home, I don’t commute as often. The other day went to the city after Christmas time near Rockefeller. Vendors everywhere set up on the streets or just walking around with merch.
I wonder if they pay sales tax?
@@patrickh9937 Definitely, every vendor follows the rules. You know that 😂
What did they think these vendors were going to do? Stop hawking?
Why are street vendors bad in America but normal in most other countries?
Shoving them into a pedestrian walkway and making it inaccessible to those who live there is not the answer
at least interview an american. If i had this on mute I would never think that this news was from America
Born and raised in Brooklyn. The vendors are part of the bridge. Lol. Geez ...... Why! They are trying to change everything.
😮😮😢❤❤❤good after noon abc 7 news
Someday a real rain will come 🚖
Time to bring out the lawsuits Adams
Brooklyn bridge is not a place to prohibit flow of pedestrian traffic. Peddlers create an unlawful hazard to bike path users to the point none can ride. Everyone needs to work so help all people do so without disruptive peddlers. Hopefully no serious emergency.
There are legitimate ways to sell their goods.
GOOD! Finally glad to see them out of Manhattan and onto Brooklyn, also what happened to BK being the hipster Mecca of the world? It sounds to me like everyone can overlook an issue until they have to actually DEAL WITH IT
Well get them out make them rent locations where there not in the way of the people walking..
I don't understand calling for order for people who are legally here and not having order for people who are not legally here, get my drift.
It's been like this since the '80s and now people want to complain about it in 2024 people want to say that it's a safety hazard but all of New York City is a safety hazard I bet no one would be complaining if people were able to take their pictures smh
They selling and still getting assistance. Women having baby after baby. We’re are they getting this money to set up these vendors. It looks like a bigggg mess. Has to be stopped.
Absolutely disgusting.
NYC is a nasty free for all.
Wtf all hell is breaking loose in my nyc
I remember there was a time when brooklynites were only allowed to sell on the streets if they had a STREET VENDOR license and that was only given to ex military . It was like pulling teeth to get one and the police would just come on the streets and snatch up all your goods and give you a ticket.
This was pre di blasio days. Since he took office and now eric Adam's following in his foot steps it's just straight lawlessness in nyc. I hate this place and their damn double standards. What's next the prostitution???
Mayor Adams needs to grow some balls or leave office.
Typical !!!! All the bleeding hearts until its in their neighborhood !!!!!
Laws
I thought your city had a brand?
not anymore those days are long gone
😢😢😢CRAZY USED TO BE MIDTOWN NOW THEY DON'T GIVE A HOOT WALKING SHOULDN'T BE AN OBSTACLE COURSE ..
No table needed.the food is not inspected the items being sold were are they from,and what else is being sold under this. It needs to stop. They can go home and sell on the streets. That does not show strength to me.
How's that diversity thing working out for you , New York City is now a third world banana Republic😂
Make a living and pay takes to pay for your services … stores pay tax … garbage sewerage …
most of what is sold is novelty, made elsewhere,, absolutely needless.
😂just mule nyc ! To across the street to Brooklyn 😂😂😂😂
Brooklyn is still NYC but all the mayor only cared about clearing them out on the Manhattan side. Now Brooklyn got to deal what this mess.
Also Jimmy needs to shut his mouth cuz most of his people are constantly selling crap throughout the whole city
Truth vets get first picks on vendor licenses Unless you know somebody. And they should
They banning wrongs things in life
The vendors make it look like a third world country. No one knows where the merchandise is purchased from, if it was purchased, and what profit is made.
Looks like Tijuana
How about you let people make a loving and stop fucking with them and regulating everything.
Regulation Nation.
Jimmy Ng for Mayor

An Asian complaining about selling goods . But all the stuff sold comes from China. Where's his shop located. LOL
mild racism. yay
@@xobkizum Not at all. It's the kettle calling the pot black.
He is an American you dope. Does he sound like a Asian immigrate? No.
Some of you people are just slow.
They will continue to find dangerous, inconvenient, and annoying places to sell their crappy little trinkets until they are banned altogether, OTOH, at least they aren't doing food deliveries on electric mopeds.
Back to the 80s!
It's not a safety issue. It's a greed issue which is exactly why I left the City. People can't do ish there. Be happy they're making money legally.
Yes honorable Eric Adams we need order i tell this guy about hand out what they're one are collecting both public assistance and doing this illegally vending details later the mayor knows what he's doing stop blaming the new york City mayor
