The problem is that under this model of selling the new land, it automatically will be taken by land / real-estate speculators. Thus it is likely this new land will never be used for affordable housing. I’d be willing to bet that just like in the rest of Manhattan many residences would sit empty and be used just as investment.
Good
Supply and Demand drive price. More Supply means Price goes down in the market (all of New York not just that area) Plus If the city controls the land they can stipulate areas for Affordable housing via contracts.
Why would it be affordable, set asides just reduce supply again creating the same problem.
We should just give away the land for free and a lottery to people who have never worked in the their lives. That would work so well I mean it would be like slab. city of the east
I find the term "affordable housing" to be BS. The government forcing developers to rent apartments below market rate to low-income people who couldn't afford to live there otherwise doesn't make it affordable. In fact, it makes it less affordable because it reduces the supply and drives up market rates.We need housing to be affordable, not "affordable housing."
Please just improve and actually modernize the train system, every time there’s moderate rain, the stations flood and water pours from the ceilings.
NYC’s public transit system is the best in the US but embarrassing compared to every other country with modern transit.
what a shame
Never seen a station flood in Chicago.
Imagine a shitty transit system is the “best”, that’s sad LOL
@@LaSombraa it's objectively an effective transit system compared to 99.99% of the USA's
It's designed with natural ventilation. It's not possible or rational to correct the water from the ceilings. The flooding is partially the same issue.
The internet is a weird place. Just last night I was wondering to myself how long it took New York to grow to it's current state, and this morning I get this video in the recommended section
lol.. well, if it's any constellation, this is recycled. I've seen parts of this before from another Cheddar piece about extending NYC's footprint.
Hopefully, this gives you some comfort knowing that Cheddar (or, internet alien gods) aren't cognitively tapping your brain for new content ideas.. lmao.
@@wiredwebmaster interesting.. wouldn't it be rather natural to assume it's RUclips or Google that's doing the suggesting than Cheddar, the channel?
@@FirestormX9 - AI and data mining are powerful tools. Who knows, maybe machines know more than expected, like when your plan to take your next vacation, or pee break... lol
If you even said it out loud, your phone heard it and therefore suggested this... It's always listening.
@@bobcharlotte8724 - yup, try sitting your phone next to the toilet when pinching a loaf, literally, for shits and giggles.. lol
As a New Yorker, this is only going to exacerbate our problems. All of that land reclamation is not going to be affordable public housing, which is what the city needs it’ll all be more high-end luxury apartments parked, empty, owned by billionaires and other foreign investors
Not actual New Yorkers that need a place to live
I mean, even luxury apartments lower rent prices or at least slow the increase. The billionaires are going to buy apartments anyway so its better for them to buy the luxury apartments than the less expensive apartments. It's just supply and demand, increase the supply and prices will go down. Of course ideally NYC would crack down on businesses owning homes but that's unlikely to happen.
These buildings will all be purchased by companies who will rent and Airbnb the units. No chance for normal people to own a home there
This is drivel.
Not building "luxury housing" will only exacerbate the demand for the existing, limited stock of housing.
@@mister_i9245 no unfortunately, these luxury units are never even listed to the public. You have to well connected and be in the know to snatch any of them. It’s a closed market within those circles
@@grapesurgeon because the infrastructure is on the taxpayers dime
Tokyo also does this REALLY WELL. They have added reclaimed land and still maintains environmental stability.
As far as housing is concerned… In my opinion, establishing a consolidated regional rail network for the NYC Metropolitan area that better connects the region to a T, like cross rail connections, will help alleviate a lot of the housing issues that directly impact Manhattan, outer boroughs, and close neighboring cities. In fact, having thoughtful and progressive housing developments, zoning laws, and encouraging less private car usage in outer boroughs and neighboring close cities, would solve a lot of issues. Like, having better transit that links everything together, especially in the outer boroughs/cities, would minimize the need to build out into the Hudson when there’s so much to build elsewhere 🤷🏽♂️
I think one thing I’m really disliking about the MTA is that they are prioritizing people who live in Jersey rather than actual city folk. Like bruh, it seems like our taxes are useless.
@@Jorge-lh6px the MTA, NJT, MBTA, SEPTA, LIRR, Path and Metro North should all be one agency. We should be able to have cross rail connections and one payment system. All of these agencies contribute to our regional transit/economy and would be better for us if consolidated. Imagine not only having better local city rail, but also being able to not have to transfer from train to train, because all of the agency rail rolling stock technology is harmonious with the rail network. Imagine living in Albany, Poughkeepsie, or Boston, and being able to commit to a job in NYC because it’s within an hour of Manhattan, thanks to rail. That sort of access opens the opportunity for real estate developers to build in neighboring boroughs, cities, and Hudson River towns without a need to build out into the Hudson. And how about connecting Staten Island with a subway tunnel? Like it isn’t hard, but I think it’s important to understand the tools we already have and to reinvent “its” use for a more effective and impactful economy and transit system, which would ultimately discourage the use of private vehicles in and out of regions most congested cities. I’m unsure what the MTA does with their money, but I think everyone can see they’re fumbling the ball 😬
@@matthewsmith99181 Good luck trying yo convince New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania to merge all of their transit agencies into one.
SEPTA already runs into issues that the managing board is made up of represenatives split over 5 counties, now imagine a single agency representing 4 states
i love this one come out on my birthday thanks you all i love it
Hey cheddar,idk how long this series will go on for. I love and am fascinated by New York. Would you consider a history of the zoo’s in the cities boroughs. Perhaps an upkeep/running of in the modern day partner video if the first one goes well.
Real life Madagascar
I love how football fields is a legitimate us area unit that is used and understood
Edit: so apparently a football field is roughly an acre
For sure more people have laid eyes on a football field (right down to high school facilities) than a farm or an exurban estate.
Not to mention that unlike an American football field, everywhere-else football (soccer) pitches (playing fields) can vary in size, akin to baseball fields. You can measure area in Wrigley Fields, but it would be meaningless to measure in "ball fields."
Rent control and tenant laws are what’s making rent in NYC unaffordable, builders and investors stopped building for low and average income folks because it was no longer monetarily feasible. No new constructions means low supply. Low supply means high prices
I was casually watching this video wondering how they would extend Manhattan
Then boom my block in canarsie makes a cameo 💀
That proposal might increase traffic down there, which will be a problem when you are trying to leave when the traffic is high. What they need to do, is to put a rest stop on the east and west sides when traffic is high and you need to go!
The state of Florida just dedicated more than half a million to do this in a small area. It’s a very wealthy area. While we are in a housing crisis. I don’t ever want to hear how are we going to pay for it ever again when it comes to helping working people.
We should 100% do this pub this so much more - this is how we fix housing
🤣 Yeah, okay
Reclaiming for affordable housing makes so much sense i want this to work so much
That will never happen under the current style of goverment.
Fascinating!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍
need more density in long island
this is actually really cool
“As soon as you make it it’s worth like a gazillion dollars” that’s the kind of math I get. Thank you!
All that new land is just gonna be used by a bunch of luxury real estate companies anyways, it’s a waste of resources. What should be done should be investing and actually fixing the nyc subway. Maybe modernizing it’s rails and renovating stations from falling apart.
I think this is a interesting idea but I do have concerns how do we know if this was to be a thing that this would not just be for the rich 2.0 & like you said in the video earlier New York is not known for doing anything speedy
In Lower Manhattan, Pearl Street which is currently 2 blocks from the East River, used to be the Manhattan shore line and the shoreline was covered with oyster shells whose underside (inside) looks like (is?) pearl, hence the street's name!
On the West Side, the entire World Trade Center complex, and then west of that the World Financial Center is all landfill.
I’ve seen this before….🤔🤔
And I like the financial district beyond that close to the water.
It's a city. Is the ecological impact more than if the city expanded elsewhere? 1300 access of high density near Manhattan probably replaces substantially more access of lower density further away, plus reduces the length of transit (metro, roads, buses, etc.) needed. If built transit oriented, and with parks, it could be a lovely addition. And the money from the sale of the reclaimed land could support transit elsewhere (or just more corruption, *shrug*).
If anyone thinks 1 square foot of this new New York will go towards affordable housing, u haven’t been paying attention 🤣🤣
Housing shortages could be fixed by ending single family zoning.
There's land reclamation, and then there's this dumb idea. It would literally cost hundreds of billions, and who's going to pay for it? Not the government, they're busy funding wars. So the tab would be picked up by private developers who would, guess what, want to make their money back and profit... so all the developments would be luxury housing and office space with nothing except a few parks for the normal people.
And then there's the transit and integration with the current city. It took 15 years for the MTA to build 3 new stops, it either won't have a subway or it will in 200 years.
Economics professor... as someone who's been through academia, I can guarantee you this is someone who has never actually worked in industry a day in their life and just writes shitty papers - quantity over quality is how you get more funding.
Very neat! 😀
Reminds me of IJburg in Amsterdam
Please don’t let this happen
Trippy. Like a real news program
The city could just do what they did in the pass. Just reclaimed the land and just continue the project. They dis this when they extended Manhattan before in the pass. Including the World Trade Center site.
Meanwhile upper new york state is some of the lowest density counties on the east coast :) So the solution for New York housing is to increase the real-estate space of Manhattan - you can't make this up?!! You can not have a more public policy that is more for the rich than this.
How about an episode on what emergency shenanigans will be put into action once Thwait's glacier melts
Can someone tell jason barr to check his Zoom audio settings? Sounds quite clear to me he's actually not using the mic of his headphone, but rather his laptop mic. 😉
With the land reclamation idea, I find it odd that was there no mention of Battery Park City, a substantial chunk of real estate reclaimed, I believe, mostly by using the earth excavated for the World Trade Center in the early 1970s.
Battery park city was supposed to have middle and low income housing, but not much. The same will happen with new land.
New a
Land for very rich to play on.
When to start mannahatta project? I hoped it's not delay or halted.
I've always wondered why they haven't filled in the East River yet.
To be fair, international football pitches are quite variable in size and thus unuseable for areal comparisons!
American football fields are one acre. It sorta helps
I would enjoy an opportunity to move to New Manahatta!
I need a MUCH better reason to oppose this idea then "But Muh Fish" Especially when dense walkable neighborhoods are much better for the environment then car centric sprawl.
Don't think this will ever happen....... The skyline of downtown Manhattan is too ICONIC.
Or it could be the opportunity of a lifetime to make the skyline just that much more iconic in the long term.
@@shanekeenaNYC I don't think New Yorkers will ever allow this to happen
@@DopeAsThePope1 Have some imagination.
I swear I saw this video before. Is this a repackaged upload 🤔
What large project have New York politicians been able to do properly? What is their record of eliminating graft? But go ahead. It’ll only cost 10 or 20 times what they claim it will.
24:24 That sounds like everything government today. Throw billions of dollars at it to make it work _right now,_ but don't consider (or don't realize it is impossible to predict) the long-term impact that the project will have.
I think land reclamation is cool and therefore support it.
Good.
This would be an insane what if….and it cost so much damn money, wonder how this project’ll turn out.
Get rid of rent control first
If they’re going to do this cheap reusing and rehashing of old material then the LEAST they could do is put the timestamps in the description so we didn’t have to guess if EVERYTHING was material we’d seen already.
That would be nice
I mean why nt just build the wetlands off the existing city if its a good buffer? Surly that would be a less expensive and positive way to protect the city. Sure it wouldn't add house but I don't think this expansion will do what he wants. At the end of the day more and more people try and come to NYC. First of developments that can afford to do this will not be cheap because it's new and exciting! They'll want to get as much as they can and insure that the right kind of people are buying in those areas.
I wonder how they're going to make this extension more public oriented. All it looks like is more roads to add to New York's congestion. They also need to have plans for affordable housing as well
They could move the airports further out on Long Island to Free up space for more mid rise mixed use buildings in Queens
But then rich people would be inconvenienced
Umm too far
Actually getting rid all together of the Laguardia abomination would solve many problems.
Excuse me, according to you, the Netherlands started with the first big modern land reclamation in the 1970's? How do you come up with that? The Haarlemmermeer, from 1849 to 1852, reclamation of around 18.000 hectares, or 445.000 acres or 70 square miles. The Noordoostpolder, in the former Zuiderzee, reclaimed in 1942, with around 460 km2 or 175 square miles. The Flevopolder, drained between 1950 and 1968, around 970 km2 or 370 square miles. And we only started in the 1970's? Can you please explain that a bit more?
I think the word "modern" clears up 50 years ago as opposed to 170 years ago.
@@CoreyBMack yhea but you can argue that these projects are done with steam pumps instead of stereotypical windmills that makes it modern-ish? oh well
@@koffiewolf Thats the trouble with the word "modern". Its moving target and its highly subjective. What was modern 20 years ago with cars is no longer the case? (as an example) same with phones of 10 years ago.
@@CoreyBMack Effectively, the Netherlands has reclaimed most of its land before the 1970. So if she really means 50 years ago as modern, the statement is wrong because we did not reclaim that much since the 1970s.
@@caribboy That's super fair
I'm all for the environment, truly, If we can't protect human life at all costs, everything else doomed.
Is this a re upload?
This is a re publish?
Creating new beachfront properties with tax money for the ultra-rich to enjoy will just add to the social divide in New York and immoral. That is not how you create affordable housing.
Instead the money is better spent adopting the dutch style waste management system, rather than land reclamation. Trash needs to be sorted properly and underground compactors in every street corner.
Exactly
I saw this chick once in a Starbucks. Had no idea she worked for Cheddar lol
Is this a re-upload?
It makes economic sense because you can sell it for a lot of money, but we also need to do it because housing is too expensive? This is just a way for the rich to get richer, let's not fool ourselves.
i watched this video for over 12 football fields wow
I just allocated 150 dollars to a separate bank account in preparation for my down payment on a piece of that new Land.
A harbor barrier, like the Thames barrier?
If it goes through this is a chance for good city planning and chance to put affordable housing design and construction at the forefront.
This "Doctor" in economics is proving once again how useless the science of economics actually is. "Hey, lets make more land in an already super expensive city. It will not solve the housing market, but hey, the new land will bought right away by real estate speculators and billionaires, thus paying back the costs of the whole project in no time!"
Everything is super expensive in NYC
There is actual ways to solve the current problems in the housing market that economists have proposed; the simplest one is to relax national zoning laws to allow for more, non-single family housing. The best arguably though is to tax land values separate of their properties, taking that revenue and returning it to citizens (through a universal basic income or negative income tax).
@@brianfrommars Zoning laws aren't "national." Did you perhaps mean "relax them nationwide," or "throughout the nation?"
why not attack the problem at its source and tax and regulate the shit out of industries doing the most harm? fighting impacts of climate change instead of the source is treating the symptom
Because the people doing the taxing would also be the people hurting from the taxation. They're all in it together
Old video they are re-posting.... I remembered because of her apologetic joke about American football. I hated it then and I hate it now 😂
Hey Cheddar, MORE KARIN SHEDD
Dr Barr is such a hottie and a little adorable.
Is that an uterus in the background? o.O
Why the hell wouldn't ecologists support the dredging project? Most of the ecology of New York has been dead for over 150 years, and by creating this island, we'd be saving over a hundred square miles of land from suburban development, and getting tens of thousands of cars off the road.
Congestion charge 👏
The question is, should we be cramming more people into New York City? I don’t think it’s healthy to have so many people crammed together, living on top of each other.
Woah woah woah... Full stop. If they want to stay down there instead of spreading to the rest of the state, let them.
@@__jonbud______________________ 🤣 I hear that
TLDR and this was a story months ago. MONTHS AGO.

@@uhohhotdog ahhhhh. That makes more sense. Thanks!
Why not just fill in the whole East River? We can then get rid of all the bridges.
Can we not and then still get rid of the bridges?
To challange rising sea level we build a island in the ocean…
Wait what?
How many buildings in Billionaire's Row are currently empty? How many other fancy, luxury buildings are empty at least 85% of the time? Adding the land to Lower Manhattan and in the process absorbing Governor's island would be a terrible mistake and one that NYC cannot afford. If you REALLY want to see what happens when there is a fire in one of these mega tall buildings, just watch Skyscraper with Dwayne "The Rock' Johnson. I realize that it is fictional, but it shows just how deadly a fire can be at 88+ stories. I wouldn't want to be a firefighter trying to fight a fire at one of these buildings.
Almost none. NYC has record low vacancy rates.
This idea that NYC is full of vacant housing is absolutely moronic.
Repost?
It won't be used to build affordable housing
This will NEVER happen. Anyone remember the Westway project? Environmentalists and other "special interests" mired the developers in so many lawsuits and so much red tape that it DIED, And Westway wasn't nearly as ambitious as this project would be.
I have a feeling i've already seen this video months or years ago. What's up with that?
I wonder if the hosts of these videos have to take courses on how to wave their hands while they speak?
WHAT!!! NJ is literally across the river 😳 you don't need to reclaimed land! Invest more into your trains and affordable housing in NJ & people will move there who don't want to pay the crazy NYC prices.
She is gorgeous
Isn’t this a repost?
Ever time I hear just why
Sounds like a vanity project. That money could be better used elsewhere.
