Thank you Cash . My brother moved me to NC in 1996. I had a rent stabilized apt in Borough Park, Brooklyn. The landlord, Soloff, flooded our apts, removed boiler in dead of Winter, etc . Soloff refused to rent a $165 apt to a friend, who is Black.
NYCHA has a budget of almost $5 billion, and runs at $35 mil deficit. So I don't think this is a money problem; there's plenty of money, it's just getting wasted. But I %1000% agree with the sentiment.

I swear our government is so ass backwards, quick to house illegal immigrants from other countries and give them $2000 cash food stamps, but Americans who need assistance with low income housing are swept under the rug smh 🤦🏻♀️
You have to look at the immigrants as an investment. The low income and even homeless are paying taxes somewhat, even just a little goes a long way. Immigrants are not paying, yet. Once you make these immigrants citizens, they now pay taxes and their votes count. This is how the politicians look at stuff in America, as an investment. If they can’t make money off of it they will not do anything about it.
They want it be how life was a few hundred years ago. You have the Peasants who scrape by and the Elite who rule over the lower class and use them how ever they want. It might seem different but its just wearing new skin.
I grew up in a Project in Manhattan. You gotta pay rent. Your rent is subsidized by taxpayers. The problem people don’t talk about is the absence of the nuclear family unit. I know because that was my situation as well. Also people depending on the government. I know families that have lived in the Projects for decades. They hand down the apartments to their kids and so on.
Never did I ever think we'd have 3rd world conditions right here in America. New York isn't the only area that's this bad. We treat our aged and Veterans worse than prisoners. That's not right.
What makes it sadder is that all these promotions of good life in NYC are everywhere and right under them is a sleeping homeless person that most likely came here because of hearing if them or seeing them
I spent many years as a contractor fixing rental houses after people who payed their rent and destroyed the homes they lived in worse than anyone can imagine and the only recourse the owners have is spending money on top of the repairs trying to take them to court only to end up with a judgment so I know many homeowners who let their homes sit empty until they finally feel someone is possibly a good renter assuming the loss until then is a lot cheaper so letting someone live in their homes for nothing is not going to happen and I definitely don't blame them because I've seen and repaired the damage
But these are government apartments not private. Plus when apartments sit empty, squatters move in and it can be hell to get them out. In a city facing such a housing crisis, landlords should have their pick of tenants who won't destroy the apartment.
You are correct about this. After Katrina, a lot of good hearted people who had empty apartments and houses, some in the French Quarter where the rents are sky high, let homeless victims of the storm stay for free whilst the government tried to get things under control. Some people who were given shelter in these private homes for FREE tore them to shreds. The owners said "never again...." There are always some people who ruin it for everyone else, and of course there are alway people who live like animals, but actually, from things I have seen, to say that is an insult to animals.
@kzhemh, those get beat the hell The worse, I personally know people that purposely destroyed an apartment bc they were getting evicted, and they didn't even get sued bc they wouldn't have been able to pay anything anyway
Uh, the apartments shown on the videos are clearly disgusting and not being taken care of by the owners of the building. Why would I take care of your property when you aren't? Landlords will do anything to avoid fixing problems with plumbing, heat, pests, etc. I've got half the drywall missing in my bedroom because there was a leak. Never came back to check and see where the leak was coming from. It's been almost a year.
i lived in NYC for 40 years,, and id have to say there is no reason to live there anymore. low quality of life, expensive, and dangerous... 3 years ago I moved to another country , best decision of my life
Yeah and we also need to realize that Big cities are for the more wealthy and/or smarter people. All the talent from around the area moves there to compete (and in NY that area is the World) and you think your going make your poor situation work, that really doesn't make sense.
@@BlackHoleOfTimethat honestly made the most sense to me. I never understood my cousins wanting to be next to all the city life in Manhattan but complain about the cost of everything there. Even here in florida you have to live on the outskirts and work inward towards to city to be financially sound.
Why??? NY is like the capital of the world or at least one of a few. Billions in the world would like to go to NY. Are you gonna build billions of homes in Manhattan????
NYC wants out of low-income housing. There is rampant abuse of city owned apartments, which I've seen first hand. Qualifying for such an apartment is determined by a household's income. If household income goes over a certain amount, the household doesn't get a city apartment. Almost every city owned unit contains at least one person who is 'off-lease'. This is how it works: Baby-mama who has little or no income, but does have some dependent minor children applies for the apartment. Baby-daddy, who works full time, moves in and uses a mail drop. There may be other employed household members residing in the apartment as well. The combined household income would disqualify the household for low income housing if they had all the people on the lease. That's why you can walk through the parking lot of a city housing project and see new BMW, Benz, Ranger Rover and the like. People walking around dressed in Canada Goose and carrying the latest iProducts. The city does not want to take direct action to stop the abuse because it would be political suicide. Instead the city allows the buildings to run down to the point where the building is closed because it becomes unfit for habitation. The property is then sold off to a private developer under the guise of 'urban renewal'.
the biggest problem with US is government unaccountability. in Taiwan, if you are treated badly by the local buearcacy, you can go to newspaper, local new station and ask for a interview or news segment. it will be broadcasted city wide, and the local government will be pressured to respond in shame. in the US, you are no one. governmental waste is not being reported, inefficiency is not being investigated, if you get mistreated by permitting office or DMV, no one could help you unless you are mayor's cousin.
It’s puzzling to see 5,600 apartments sitting empty while so many are homeless. But here’s a question: if you owned a home, would you be willing to let homeless individuals, even those who refuse to work, live there for free? It’s a complex issue that requires careful consideration
Puzzle solved dude, they spent all the money on illegals and themselves, they have no money left, that's why they can't let other people live there now cuz they'ed have to fund it, and they grifted all the money.
I have taken in 4 homeless people all strangers men n women n they didn't have a penny n I had just lost my father but had room for them . Three I took in the winter and one in the summer. Here's my issue with people you wouldn't leave an animal on the streets why would you leave a human being on the streets with no where to sleep to close their eyes for awhile nothing to drink nothing to eat how can this great country leave their people outside when their is tons of empty buildings n houses everywhere. Homeless shelters aren't an answer in my area there's one shelter in the middle of at least 3 counties. These people I took in didn't steal off me they weren't violent. They were able to use a phone to look for resources to get back on their feet . I don't understand this world
Place are more than 100 years old rotten masses of stone rats roaches junkie .all 5 brought project section 9 section 8 most of people are ssi very low income sad .😢😢😢😢😢 rent 200 dollars per or less based income .
Slime on every wall, slime on the carpet, walls missing, closets missing, cabinets shattered, doors removed, trash piled 4 feet high throughout the entire unit etc. I've seen it all and it's all very common. Never take government money.
Someone tell me.. If this is what your life looks like in NYC, living in a trashy appt that literally has dirty standing water on the floor, why are you living there? I bet you could get the same sq footage in way better condition here in KC MO for1/4 the cost or probably less.
Probably the latter. Subsaharans, semi nomadic people that once they exhausted resources of another region move to another to make it as desolate where they came from.
America is slowly turning into a 3rd world country 🤦♂️ This is absolutely nuts. I honestly feel so bad for those people. They don’t deserve such inhumane awful treatment like that😢
In my part of the world, a squatter has rights if their mail has arrived to that address for seven years without any legal argument. I've had to use squatter's rights against my parents to stay in the family home.

@@ellies31773 I agree there's so many destinations that you can live so much better like Tennessee or Nebraska or Arkansas and get your money's worth New York is overrated it will always be home to me but it was time for a change and I love where I'm at
This looks exactly like Toronto and Hamilton Ontario. Tons of empty apartments. During Covid lockdowns, there was money to rent out motel rooms for the homeless, no one on the streets… now there are homeless encampments everywhere. Even seen a lady in a wheelchair for two days straight in -15 weather with -25 wind chill, live in a bus shelter. The housing list was so overrun with migrants, they closed the list to new applicants. Although, new comers are housed for free in nice hotels. Not the same for the Canadian homeless though.
It's a breath of fresh air to see you filming outside of Times Square! Seriously, good on you for expanding your horizons. I understand the draw of New York City, people love the energy and the history, but it's also a tough place to live. It's why I had to make the move out west, to Sacramento. The change of pace and environment is so much better than dealing with the constant hustle of the five boroughs. I do feel for the older folks in NYC; they're often stuck there and it's probably getting harder for them as things change. But honestly, I can't say I feel the same for people my age, the 50 somethings. They seem to actively choose to stay in what I'd describe as the "slums" of the city, instead of seeking out a better quality of life. But hey, that's their decision, if that's what makes them happy, then so be it. They want it, they can have it, 💯💯
People with low income have no pride in the spaces they live in. People who take care of the apartments they live in are rarely evicted because they save the landlord a whole lot of money.
Not true. I'm a low income person and I always treated my residence(s) as if I owned it. It's only been recently (I'm almost 70) that I can't do all the upkeep myself).
@@LoLa-OR The exception does not make the rule... You can't even speak on this subject unless you've rented to low income people. You just don't know, you only have anecdotal evidence of yourself.
For anyone criticizing the owners of empty apartments. Would you let someone live in them? Free? Who pays utilities? Who pays for upkeep? You know you wouldn't let someone live there free and take on all the costs associated with it.
Zelensky got around 100 billion dollars for his wars...so I think Americans could have used that money. Zelensky got it for free, out of love, lol, he won't give back anything for that amount...just chiming in from Europe, lol.
No one said for free, but i think we can all agree it should be illegal for landlords/wealthy real estate owners to hoard housing and not have any intention to try to rent it out. There should be regulations that enforce your properties to be rented or sold out by a certain time after purchasing.
If you're homeless and the place is shit what is keeping you in New York? Bus ticket can't be that much. So a lot of these apartments buildings deserve to be condemned nobody's working on them and you're mad because they won't let nobody live there, We saw the inside of one of these places.
That old witch Thatcher reportedly said that, while her country was reeling with homeless and jobless, and Russia had none of those social evils, and still doesn't. But UK had got worse!😂 Big w*h*re U$A spent $trillions on its wars and $billions on supporting wars. Who is "running out of money" to care for its own people?😂
I have a empty apartment in NYC. I don't want to rent it out because the last tenant stopped paying and NYC told us to go F ourselves. NYC is a joke and seriously needs to just overhaul their laws.
I was a small time landlord Upstate for seven years. Could never make a profit as tenants would refuse to pay and/or destroy the place. Squatters and NYS laws, and sanctuary cities are downright dystopian! Now I have to go and watch the "C.H.U.D." movie again....
Yep, same issue, have half my building empty. I would rather have it totally empty. I think the solution is for us to sue NYC, HPD and the courts. That's the only way.
@ sell to who? And would they get a good return on their investment or would you expect them to sell at a loss? Are you willing to give your money away for others that don't have your well being in their minds? Most land lords in NYC are small mom and pop shops that worked hard to provide places to live. The problem is NY/NYC has laws that are bing manipulated by tenants to tell landlords to go f themselves. It is really a much more conplex issue and it really has to be overhauled.
Sorry, but these are privately owned properties, and it is not their responsibility to put in homeless who are alcoholic, drug addicted, and mentally ill. This is a government issue. Always has been. Homeless don't like living by rules in shelters. Society lives by rules. Who is going to pay for the damages that are caused by some? This whole thing has a lot of layers.
People are so naive here. Put yourself in landlords shoes. You let these people in, they’ll never leave. Why don’t you let these people into your apartment?
I used to work in NORC and assisted those who lived in NYCHA buildings. The NYCHA is always under staffed and those who work in the maintenance dept are lazy.
I live in nycha my whole life, and I agree Staff are the worst and they all act ignorant when you even ask them a question or for help and for a repair you put in a ticket that takes years for someone to come. Took 2 years to get my door lock changed and it was by mistake as that day I called for the plumber, smh Then for a new fridge I needed to prove my 15 yr old fridge didn't work so I broke the damn freezer myself, and they have surplus of new items and furniture for tenants,it's a joke
What a mess....this with the crime, the rats, stores closing and leaving, and everything else, it makes one wonder what (if anything) goes right in NYC at this point. NYC is the prime example of what cities should NOT be doing at this point. At some point the people, who literally have nothing left to lose, are going to snap and then it's going to get beyond ugly...
Why? That’s ridiculous….. The NYCHA would rather have empty flats,and have no rental money coming in,than getting people off the street and into a flat? If your house is cold, cover up your windows with plastic,and put up some heavy curtains,get a few space heaters,buy bottled water and layer up your clothes. At least you’re not on the street.
She never said she was unemployed the rent in NYC is ridiculous I pay over almost $4000 everyone’s income can’t afford that. You have to maintain your appearance no matter where you work and how much you make and she may do her own hair or that’s a cheap wig she can wear over and over. Anyone’s situation can change for the worse in an instant.
Okay but are you keeping this same energy with the mismanagement of money by housing authorities an private companies their job is to literally maintain the building but do the bare minimum clearly their priorities are fucked an so are yours for not seeing the bigger picture
I don’t know how many times we have to say it. You do not want to get the government involved. Chances are they will pass a law that does not benefit the common people in the least and then everyone will get angry and regret getting the government involved. It happens all the time. Stop getting the government involved. They are reason why everything is messed up as it is.
@@margaretthatcher6828not the government, it’s the people who are hired to do that job. Many people don’t care to move things along or get anything done when they get paid to do nothing. So, it’s the people who are hired to do these jobs that are to blame. Look at how many people have been caught stealing money from these programs and line their pockets. We need more honest people who genuinely care for their constituents instead of those with a selfish agenda.
Great investigative reporting! The way New York City handles their housing crisis and the bureaucracy is ridiculous. There is little to no oversight and it is absurd that it takes so long to overturn an apartment. People need affordable housing, and this should be done as a priority not like a favor to the people.
I don’t care about the lazy, or addicts who don’t want to work. You should hit rock bottom. What bothers me the most is that NO ONE WORKING FULL TIME should be homeless. Disgusting that you have a child and won’t work.
"and here we have a government agency designed to help people but isn't doing that", yes, but not just NYCHA. pretty much every govt agency. it's almost like their jobs depend on the problems never being solved...
With these empty apartments, it does seem that the companies that own them are being paid for failure. Now is the time for a crack down on the said paid for failure companies.

Rent will eventually decrease when these INVADERS are sent packing. May not affect NYC because for some reason people love living in a garbage can so rent may stay high there.
@ the statement that the Rich get richer and rents increase. how should it work? if you have an answer let me hear it. thanks. Rich people are Rich because they understand how money works. Poor are Poor because the do not. Having been Poor and now not being Poor allows me to comment on this. thank you.
I have a conservative and people think they have a pretty good idea what that means but they really don’t so let me break it down to you. I absolutely support taxation even though it’s theft as long as it’s used for the people I support it. There is absolutely no reason why we should be sending other countries money while families are sleeping in subway stations. Our money or tax should be helping other taxpayers should be lifting people up, not keeping them down. I support taxation and I support us using tax dollars to help these people. There’s no reason why in America people should be homeless especially people with children. There’s no reason why children should know hardship in this country.
A lot of people have section 8 government income based housing and still won’t pay rent. I’ve seen people getting evicted for not paying 40 dollars a month for houses and 3 bedroom apartments. Get months behind them can’t pay 200 dollars smh you can’t make people grow up. It’s ridiculous. They need some hard lessons. Eviction is a wake up call
That shows you how much NYC officials care. How much money have they spent on illegal immigrants? How many billions they spent on the homeless population with no results but a worst problem every single year? Someone and son organizations are stealing the tax payer money who’s supposed to help our most needy. Why aren’t people complaining about that?
Since when did people feel entitled to apartments for free? Just because I own vacant apartments and there's a housing crisis don't mean I'm about to let people move in for free that is a wild concept to me.
I think the government should step in and help people. They are helping migrants like crazy, id rather our citizens got it. Thats what i feel taxes we pay our for, for us.
@Retdf-e8s the balance is all outta wack is the problem. After WW2 a man could buy a home support his wife and afford a car while working in a factory job lol. Now a job at most factories is just not enough.
My sister has a realtor that has 3 empty house. She might sell the but she won’t rent them. They just sit empty. This is in Maspeth Queens. She said it cost to much in fees to rent, it takes years to evict and the horror stories of tenants are to scary. So for the last two years they just sit vacant. Crazy. We sold our two family during pandemic. Our good paying tenants had to leave and we didn’t want to risk it. We sold to a Chinese woman who was converting it to 3 family. They only rent within their own community and I think they gave their own enforcement if you don’t pay the rent.
I am curious how anyone even knew this woman was there? How badly did this woman have to piss off someone else in this building, to the point that they would take the time and energy to actually figure out who to call to report them, and then do so.
The city is not hoarding apartments. If they put people in run down places they will undoubtedly get sued unless they fix them up to code first. The apartments can’t get fixed if they squatters aren’t paying money to live there.
you know... they COULD take another look at their own regulations and codes which make affordable housing impossible... it is THEIR fault contractors reduse to build anything new near NY lol

What a mess. We left NYC 35 years ago and never looked back.
What makes it sadder is that all these promotions of good life in NYC are everywhere and right under them is a sleeping homeless person that most likely came here because of hearing if them or seeing them
I left 45 years ago.
Good time to leave. It's been a steady decline into the sewers
I spent many years as a contractor fixing rental houses after people who payed their rent and destroyed the homes they lived in worse than anyone can imagine and the only recourse the owners have is spending money on top of the repairs trying to take them to court only to end up with a judgment so I know many homeowners who let their homes sit empty until they finally feel someone is possibly a good renter assuming the loss until then is a lot cheaper so letting someone live in their homes for nothing is not going to happen and I definitely don't blame them because I've seen and repaired the damage
But these are government apartments not private. Plus when apartments sit empty, squatters move in and it can be hell to get them out. In a city facing such a housing crisis, landlords should have their pick of tenants who won't destroy the apartment.
You are correct about this. After Katrina, a lot of good hearted people who had empty apartments and houses, some in the French Quarter where the rents are sky high, let homeless victims of the storm stay for free whilst the government tried to get things under control. Some people who were given shelter in these private homes for FREE tore them to shreds. The owners said "never again...." There are always some people who ruin it for everyone else, and of course there are alway people who live like animals, but actually, from things I have seen, to say that is an insult to animals.
@kzhemh, those get beat the hell The worse, I personally know people that purposely destroyed an apartment bc they were getting evicted, and they didn't even get sued bc they wouldn't have been able to pay anything anyway
Uh, the apartments shown on the videos are clearly disgusting and not being taken care of by the owners of the building. Why would I take care of your property when you aren't?
Landlords will do anything to avoid fixing problems with plumbing, heat, pests, etc. I've got half the drywall missing in my bedroom because there was a leak. Never came back to check and see where the leak was coming from. It's been almost a year.
@@kzhemhnyc bureaucrats couldn't run a lemonade stand without 50 bureaucrats on 50 committees having a say over a period of 10 years.
My dad is 91 and still living in the NYCHA public housing that he moved in in 1967. But back then, it was a luxury apartment compared to now.
If residents don't pay, then it's better to let the unit sit empty and not risk damage from everyday living.
And middle class pay has risen so that people can pay.
I dont think thats whats goin on...
i lived in NYC for 40 years,, and id have to say there is no reason to live there anymore. low quality of life, expensive, and dangerous... 3 years ago I moved to another country , best decision of my life
May I ask where did you move? I’m trying to look for a different place to live myself
I want to know also. I'd like to move to a different country.
I wanna move to another country too.
@@The716_ Things may start to improve. Give it a chance.
To another country but not another city.
This is all by design, all these big cities need to shut down their housing authorities and start from scratch with different incentive structures
Yeah and we also need to realize that Big cities are for the more wealthy and/or smarter people. All the talent from around the area moves there to compete (and in NY that area is the World) and you think your going make your poor situation work, that really doesn't make sense.
@@BlackHoleOfTimethat honestly made the most sense to me. I never understood my cousins wanting to be next to all the city life in Manhattan but complain about the cost of everything there. Even here in florida you have to live on the outskirts and work inward towards to city to be financially sound.
@@BlackHoleOfTimewealthy yes, smarter......no
Why??? NY is like the capital of the world or at least one of a few. Billions in the world would like to go to NY.
Are you gonna build billions of homes in Manhattan????
@@nicosa8999It's also the armpit of America. So what's your point?
I heard that most NYCHA housing is really gross. Filled with black mold, pests, crime, and utility issues (plumbing, electric, heat, etc)
Still better than sleeping outside.
NYC wants out of low-income housing. There is rampant abuse of city owned apartments, which I've seen first hand. Qualifying for such an apartment is determined by a household's income. If household income goes over a certain amount, the household doesn't get a city apartment. Almost every city owned unit contains at least one person who is 'off-lease'. This is how it works: Baby-mama who has little or no income, but does have some dependent minor children applies for the apartment. Baby-daddy, who works full time, moves in and uses a mail drop. There may be other employed household members residing in the apartment as well. The combined household income would disqualify the household for low income housing if they had all the people on the lease. That's why you can walk through the parking lot of a city housing project and see new BMW, Benz, Ranger Rover and the like. People walking around dressed in Canada Goose and carrying the latest iProducts. The city does not want to take direct action to stop the abuse because it would be political suicide. Instead the city allows the buildings to run down to the point where the building is closed because it becomes unfit for habitation. The property is then sold off to a private developer under the guise of 'urban renewal'.
@@MrSloikathis is a very thorough and succinct summarization of the issue
Crappy but costly!
Most spots in America are like that. Read renters reviews from random apts all over the country.
the biggest problem with US is government unaccountability.
in Taiwan, if you are treated badly by the local buearcacy, you can go to newspaper, local new station and ask for a interview or news segment. it will be broadcasted city wide, and the local government will be pressured to respond in shame. in the US, you are no one. governmental waste is not being reported, inefficiency is not being investigated, if you get mistreated by permitting office or DMV, no one could help you unless you are mayor's cousin.
We must evict people not paying rent. And squatting should be illegal.
It’s puzzling to see 5,600 apartments sitting empty while so many are homeless. But here’s a question: if you owned a home, would you be willing to let homeless individuals, even those who refuse to work, live there for free? It’s a complex issue that requires careful consideration
The issue is that they're not going to help, it's going to illegals
Puzzle solved dude, they spent all the money on illegals and themselves, they have no money left, that's why they can't let other people live there now cuz they'ed have to fund it, and they grifted all the money.
What about the "working poor"?? They are the ones suffering. Not everyone is "refusing to work" 🙄
@@AGirlHasNoName1.618 No one wants a bunch of wild animals destorying their property. Thats how most of us view it and with good cause.
I have taken in 4 homeless people all strangers men n women n they didn't have a penny n I had just lost my father but had room for them . Three I took in the winter and one in the summer. Here's my issue with people you wouldn't leave an animal on the streets why would you leave a human being on the streets with no where to sleep to close their eyes for awhile nothing to drink nothing to eat how can this great country leave their people outside when their is tons of empty buildings n houses everywhere. Homeless shelters aren't an answer in my area there's one shelter in the middle of at least 3 counties. These people I took in didn't steal off me they weren't violent. They were able to use a phone to look for resources to get back on their feet . I don't understand this world
The problem is that many of these people DESTROY the units!!! The city CAN'T AFFORD TO REBUILD THE ENTIRE UNIT every time someone moves out.
This is why I would never rent to anyone.

Squatters' twisted sense of entitlement is astounding. Property owners owe squatters absolutely nothing, but NYC hasn't had common sense for years

This looks exactly like Toronto and Hamilton Ontario. Tons of empty apartments. During Covid lockdowns, there was money to rent out motel rooms for the homeless, no one on the streets… now there are homeless encampments everywhere.
Even seen a lady in a wheelchair for two days straight in -15 weather with -25 wind chill, live in a bus shelter.
The housing list was so overrun with migrants, they closed the list to new applicants. Although, new comers are housed for free in nice hotels. Not the same for the Canadian homeless though.
Why are New Yorkers homeless, when illegal immigrants are given accommodations for free.
Too anger citizens so that they demand handouts too.
Because illegal aliens are future democrat voters.
Because they will vote for the DeMarxocRats. At least that was the case until about 3 months ago.
Democrats
They voted to protect the illegals. They are reaping what they voted for.
Even the NYC with their large budget cannot run affordable apts. How do they expect an elderly landlord to accept these impossible tenants.
It’s far cheaper to leave a place empty than it is to have it destroyed 🤷🏽♀️

So what does the mayor say about it
It's a breath of fresh air to see you filming outside of Times Square! Seriously, good on you for expanding your horizons. I understand the draw of New York City, people love the energy and the history, but it's also a tough place to live. It's why I had to make the move out west, to Sacramento. The change of pace and environment is so much better than dealing with the constant hustle of the five boroughs. I do feel for the older folks in NYC; they're often stuck there and it's probably getting harder for them as things change. But honestly, I can't say I feel the same for people my age, the 50 somethings. They seem to actively choose to stay in what I'd describe as the "slums" of the city, instead of seeking out a better quality of life. But hey, that's their decision, if that's what makes them happy, then so be it. They want it, they can have it, 💯💯
People with low income have no pride in the spaces they live in. People who take care of the apartments they live in are rarely evicted because they save the landlord a whole lot of money.
people with low income have no pride. :) you coulda just said it like that. the demoralization campaign of the west is almost complete.
Not true. I'm a low income person and I always treated my residence(s) as if I owned it. It's only been recently (I'm almost 70) that I can't do all the upkeep myself).

No one said for free, but i think we can all agree it should be illegal for landlords/wealthy real estate owners to hoard housing and not have any intention to try to rent it out. There should be regulations that enforce your properties to be rented or sold out by a certain time after purchasing.
Good for you for bringing this to attention.

I was a small time landlord Upstate for seven years. Could never make a profit as tenants would refuse to pay and/or destroy the place. Squatters and NYS laws, and sanctuary cities are downright dystopian! Now I have to go and watch the "C.H.U.D." movie again....

@venom5809 wow. People need places to live. Why don't you sell the building?
@ sell to who? And would they get a good return on their investment or would you expect them to sell at a loss? Are you willing to give your money away for others that don't have your well being in their minds? Most land lords in NYC are small mom and pop shops that worked hard to provide places to live. The problem is NY/NYC has laws that are bing manipulated by tenants to tell landlords to go f themselves. It is really a much more conplex issue and it really has to be overhauled.
This is a good video!! This needs to be addressed!! It's insane.
Sorry, but these are privately owned properties, and it is not their responsibility to put in homeless who are alcoholic, drug addicted, and mentally ill. This is a government issue. Always has been. Homeless don't like living by rules in shelters. Society lives by rules. Who is going to pay for the damages that are caused by some? This whole thing has a lot of layers.

Yet they won’t permit private landlords to evict non-paying, bad tenants.
A couple of your older vids came up in my feed...used to watch those apt vids. Fun reminders
That shows you how much NYC officials care. How much money have they spent on illegal immigrants? How many billions they spent on the homeless population with no results but a worst problem every single year? Someone and son organizations are stealing the tax payer money who’s supposed to help our most needy. Why aren’t people complaining about that?
Since when did people feel entitled to apartments for free? Just because I own vacant apartments and there's a housing crisis don't mean I'm about to let people move in for free that is a wild concept to me.
I think the government should step in and help people. They are helping migrants like crazy, id rather our citizens got it. Thats what i feel taxes we pay our for, for us.

If they’re hoarding vacant units I can guarantee there’s a financial incentive.
I am curious how anyone even knew this woman was there? How badly did this woman have to piss off someone else in this building, to the point that they would take the time and energy to actually figure out who to call to report them, and then do so.
Maintenance probably went in
Kids are loud aometimes. Maybe thats how they knew her location.
The same hustle is happening nation wide
Give americans (U S citizens) new celphones, housing, debit cards/$3k, and assistance NOT Illegals!!
Rent and landlordship is the biggest problem of my time.
I love that the same people who voted for this won't offer any of these homeless people a room in their apartment, all virtue signaling bs
The left always are.
The city is not hoarding apartments. If they put people in run down places they will undoubtedly get sued unless they fix them up to code first. The apartments can’t get fixed if they squatters aren’t paying money to live there.
Yet no one is removing the squatters. And no one, after years of doing nothing, is fixing anything.
Perfect Storm
you know... they COULD take another look at their own regulations and codes which make affordable housing impossible... it is THEIR fault contractors reduse to build anything new near NY lol
I had a friend recently tell me they were thinking about moving to New York…i laughed uncontrollably.😂
This video made my day! Can't wait to see what’s next.
