great minds think a like! loved the deep dive on new york’s fake buildings - i wish we had gone to the brooklyn one in our video!!
And we wish we went to PARIS! You should come hangout with us at our REAL building in NYC.
That would be a interesting collab
It's cool for the person living aside. They don't have to worry about noise affecting the neighbours on that side.
I live next door to a church., always empty
@@President_NotSure that seems kind of morbid for some reason
Hm or do they?
What I also find strange is skyscrapers with fake windows and even fake lights in them. 220 Central Park South is an example. The staircases and elevators are all on the south side of the structure, because people prefer views norths towards Central Park. So the centre part of the south facade is just a concrete wall. That would have looked unpleasant. So they created those fake windows. That process was very visible during construction, but people, who did not see the construction, will never know that those windows are fake.
Sounds like an explainer!!
@@cheddar Good idea. There is another fake thing about New York skyscrapers: Fake floor counts. Some residential skyscrapers do not just skip the floor number 13, but sometimes more than 20 floor numbers. So the 50th floor has the number 70. One example is the Millennium Tower in 57th Street. It has 54 floors, but the two storey penthouse is on floors numbered 77 and 78. On Streeteasy the tower is even listed with "78 stories". That is clearly a wrong information. Trump World Tower has a 90th floor, also the tower only has 72 floors. So it cheated by 18 floors. Developers found out that you can charge more for the same apartment simply by giving the floor a higher number.
It’s parking money in real estate. Google people who invested in property but don’t live there. The buildings literally don’t work but they’re millions of dollars for an apartment
I always find it strange how every few years you see stories about this building then it suddenly goes trending gain. Then somehow everyone forgets again till someone else "discovers" it and reports about the building yet again. Glad he reported all the other buildings thought. Good video here!
This was a great video to watch on Urbanist: Exploring Cities' channel two weeks ago
Wow this is such an interesting idea for a video, and it was even more interesting when I first saw it a month or two ago on Answer In Progress’s channel.
was just about to comment this
I don't even know what answer in progress is
@@12345678abracadabra I don’t even know who you are.
I don't even know who I am?!
I think that substation is HIDEOUS! Its like two different styles squidhed together.
I remember watching a video on this the other day! Cool to see this getting around
I might add the structures in Los Angeles that hide oil derricks in the middle of the city. Most notable is the West Pico oil drill site, and the tower of hope at Beverly Hills High school
Every industrial structure should be designed this way regardless of where it is
You should cover the false buildings that are hidden Anti Aircraft batteries
Cheddar. DUDES. What is this obsession you guys developed for NYC the last month or so? There are other places in the world to talk about.
its where they're based, and they're lazy about generating stories.
I can't wait for "Why NYC Streets Are Flat" tomorrow.
A number of things: 1. We did a series in partnership with CuriosityStream that was specifically about NYC. 2. We are based in NYC so we can easily do some fun, original shooting. 3. NYC is a global city with international interest! IE, these stories perform. But we do other stuff too! We promise.
@@OneShotProduktions Stay tuned
I saw one video about fake buildings/façades in Paris too.
That last one left me SHOOCK
What a coincidence, after Answer in Progress made a video about this not long ago, several other channels made videos of the exact same topic too?
That's usually how it goes 🤷♂️. It's a win for us as consumers though
most "unpleasant eyesores" have a natural function; they imply a very simple "fuck around and find out" which I think is very useful for a prosperous civilization, instead we'll soon have countless darwinian awardees attracted to these "mysterious" places, oh the irony
Great narrative. Great video
must be a coincidence that i just saw a video on this exact subject on another channel.
does chicago have these too?? now i must know
edit: i guess it does, alot of them
Where’d you get your research from?
Edit: oh you mean later on in the same video 💀
Actually found a video after Googleing does Chicago have fake buildings
The last building looks like a serial killer wearing the face of his much prettier victim.
I lived not far from one of these fake buildings in London.
"in a city with so little housing"
What cities have abundant housing?
Except for the first example, which I understand, why do you call them 'fake'??
Answer in progress did it first
Copy cats...
Yeah dude this is like a straight copy
Cheddar, copy cats with mediocre colonizer energy
Dang beat me to it
Yeah they beat us to it! And it's an awesome video. We were working on this piece for awhile. We hope you learned something new from our angle too.
Very interesting as a life longer New Yorker had no idea. It's frustrating to know there's so many ppl needing affordable housing, not even speaking of the poor but middle class to young professionals, yet so much of the space is not being properly used. What's worse are the developers only caring for money and the city allows them to build luxury buildings with tax or other benefits because it provides wealth to a few but not help the masses. They also hide behind having 1 apartment or 1 house that is affordable sometimes out of lotto system to meet a law yet most 10s to 50s of unit they build are out of reach. And often these homes are empty, but they still profit due to city regulations. I would like cheddar to dive into nyc real estate corruption and further educate us.
it seems like your just copying someone elses video for free content
I saw a video discussing the same topic just the other day
In the distant future, when our far-off descendants have almost recovered from the Fall, someone is going to have to explain to a class of children that, rather than fight climate change we spent millions of dollars making substations pretty.
He explained it also makes these areas safer for urban areas. So you don't have all these kids treating the substation as a jungle gym.
Wasnt there a video just recently posted about this
My exact thought! 🤨
Is that his wallet on his right shoe?
Anyway you could get me some history on my home in Hoboken, NJ? Was developed by The Crevier Brothers, renown Developers of NYC and Hoboken, NJ.
Like radiators, air-con, and chimneys, but with aesthetic covers to hide unsightly, yet purposeful circuitry.
It also has the added benefit of hiding critical infrastructure from foreign satellites.
NY needs Affordable housing and make ny more bigger.
You didn’t even credit the Tim traveller? He made this video 2 years ago 😢
Oh I guess nobody can ever make a video on this subject ever again because Tim Traveller (?) did.
We all know the real reason. Urban vampires.
No, no, that's totally not it.... 😬
I knew it! My neighbor's house is a nuclear plant!
I get and like the Brooklyn Hts. one but Mott Haven just looks fake, dumb, and out of place. more like an abandoned set than fooling anyone.
Isn't a rowhouse basically one large building with paper thin walls, ceilings/floors? I lived in one amd could hear neighbors from the next house CLEARLY through my bedroom wall! Real houses should have strong walls between properties.
Should actually have people living in these places with housing so expensive these days...
makes sense
You folks ever heard of "Ghost Cities"?
In other words, it's design is primarily to appease affluent NIMBYs so they can continue artificially jacking up the price of their real estate. Typical.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that, but some functional buildings are otherwise disguised to fit into their surroundings. Nimbyism jacking up prices, having zoning limit the number of properties so the rich get richer, and keeping “undesirable” people out though is still an issue, but this may not be a textbook example.
Didnt you just steal this video idea from VOX?
No
very interesting.

PLS SHOUT ME OUT IM UR BIGGEST FAN
sorry fpr the outrage i just love your videos and your byfar my faviorte youtuber if you can, pls shout me out on your next video. Thx :)
Nice video, I really appreciate your clear and simple breakdown on financial pitfalls! I lost so much on pCrypto's, but now making around $9000-$12000 every week trading different on stocks and Cryptocurrencies...
@Alex Dolgov I'm very glad I stumbled on this today writing to him now. Really hope he can help me
.
The way that everyone and their brother is making posts about these houses all of a suden and I can't understand the need to make such a fuss. Like click bait I get it but there's gotta be interesting things out there Chedder could cover and not an entire video about these fake houses
U guys took this idea from the channel Answer in Progress
The big question is do you want to live next door to a hidden danger? Living next door to a power distribution center can't possibly be good for your body.
Is it safer to live without electricity
