Native New Yorker who left. This is an informative video. NYC doesn't make sense anymore. You are also spot on about the real estate scams. My buddy worked in real estate and he mentioned that most realtors don't want to touch people receiving housing assistance. Didn't know about the application scams...
NYC is overrated and I can say that because I’ve live here my entire life. Fighting of homeless people in the subways is like a mango fighting off a Gnats. It’s time to go across the pond to NJ or PA.
I was born and raised in Bushwick Brooklyn New York and had enough so I cross the bridge to New Jersey and was able to afford a home and a car for the price of rent in New York City and in my area we have less than 1% crime and no noise pollution and nationally ranked school systems imagine that
I've lived in New York most of my life. New York is getting as bad as it was in the 70s when we had high inflation and high crime rates. New York was known as the rotten apple back then. But then Giuliani (I have no idea what happened to him he's gone bonkers now) and Mike Bloomberg really cleaned up the city and got control over crime and homelessness. New York had the lowest crime rates for a big city. Then de Blasio came in and ruined everything. Adams hasn't gotten much under control either. And here we are now. Real estate and crime are out of control. I personally wouldn't move here from another city if it's safe and affordable where you are, but for me it's my hometown.
They didn't clean up the city. They are, in many ways, the reason why housing issues/homelessness are so bad now. The Republicans played a huge role in the US housing crisis as well as removing services for people with mental health issues.
I will be gone on Monday, May 13, after 63 years. Loved it, but not anymore. Today teen got killed in Soho. Don't know the details. But Soho in daytime....!!😢😢
My experience was NOT with a homeless but with a resident who stood close to me and started yelling @ Me for no reason......unprovoked......very very scary
I lived in NY for around 4 years too. I left because it’s an ugly city. I love European cities so I really didn’t agree with the vinyl siding on old townhouses in Brooklyn and the Bronx. Just a tacky city that isn’t worth the cost. Alternatively I miss the type of people you meet in NY.
What do you prefer about European cities? I am European and prefer American cities hands down. Living in the USA is much more convenient than living in Europe. Shops close at around 7 to 8 pm in Switzerland, where I am from, and there isnt much variety. I rather deal with a bit of crime than living a boring life.
France and Italy are just amazing ~ architecture, culture, spot on tspt and felt safe; in the 70's I really enjoyed NY but it looks like a concrete jungle now, also just saw a video of LA and it looks terrible, shops all closing and it's dangerous and too much homeless. You people deserve better, come to Australia but I must admit the house prices are going too high.
Well I moved my family out of NYC to PA. I still have a coop since I still work in nyc. I work In the transit system and I see the worst every day. Crime and homeless is the norm.
Just cities with more wealth in the 19th and 20th century than my town, so they’re larger with many classical buildings and of course there’s much to do in regards to live music and night life. Plus the museums are better up north. I loved the Met.
NYC is truly not for everyone...I've had friends/associates come & go. I've been here 4 decades...don't pay alot for rent....have always had a job....even a dream job. Moved to Colorado didn't work for me
@@Arthur-zb6sy Republican….Mario Biaggi, Pataki, I moved to Miami Dade which even 20 years ago was left leaning…now in Highlands County, maybe 95% Republican, 2nd Amendment Sanctuary…Trump country
I also did deliveries with Whole Foods during the pandemic. I'm staying in NYC for now because I have a really good rent deal, but I stay home a lot. If I told you what I'd do with the "homeless" (they are homeless by choice, the city provides free shelters for them, but they'd rather do drugs all day) I'd get canceled, so I will keep it to myself, but if anyone goes through my videos, they may find out. To answer your question, the city has good things such as Broadway, 24/7 public transit, citibikes, a lot to do, 3 major airports with direct flights all over the world and excellent affordable healthcare.
Don't move to LA. Very sadly, homelessness and insane rent is plaguing us, too. Most recently, our landlords decided that they will control our Spectrum account, and now we have to pay them x2.5 if we don't want Spectrum to disconnect us. Yup, they're in it completely. ***Where shall we go??***
I've been to NYC, on at least 8 occasions between 1984-2012 - I live in Australia. In all of those sojourns there were ONLY 2 occasions whilst walking around that were dodgy. But now, and not only in NYC, but San Fran, and Chicago, too, which I've also been to a few times, have collasped into total distopian mayhem. There are two prime issues that have brought this to fruition: with millions of illegal immigrants at the top of list, and fentynal the other aspect. Both of these arise because of the insane government occupying the White House. However, let me make it perfectly clear that, in the event Trump wins the election in November, I will gurantee that, he doesn't seal the southern border: all he'll do is merely reinstate the 'Remain in Mexico' position. Tragically, the madness of OPEN-BORDERS to interlopers from the Third World, isn't unique to the US, because Britain, and some places in Europe, and also Canada are governed by the same cretins committed to replacement of White folks. To ascertain this agenda requires reading the works of Noel Ignative, and Robin DiAngelo who preach the crazy notion that: "There can only be harmony on the earth when all Caucasian ethnicities and cultures are obliterated from existence." If you doubt this to be correct, then research both those I mention.
NY is just _one_ sample of US decadence, which was carried out by *both* Parties since the early 70's. Vietnam War and outsourcing Industry (originally to Japan) were *deadly*.
I currently earn about $22 an hour, and live with 2 roommates. After rent and other expenses, I barely have anything left over. The quality of life here is just not worth the cost. I can’t even afford to move right now 😟
I been living here for 4 months no job. Its very hard to find a job here I pack up and move back to California. Groceries stores are more expensive than California. Its Rude abs beautiful but nyc ain't for me
Come live in South Africa and then complain about your New York, you have zero clue what difficulties and hardship really is, appreciate what you have and make the best of your situation.
If you’re not wealthy enough to avoid the BS by living in the UES/Tribeca, don’t make the move. Whenever I feel bored in my hometown and get the urge to go, I go for a day and remember why I don’t want to live there.
Partner and I moved to San Francisco in 1990. After 15 fun years we moved back home to New Mexico. The fast city is fun for a while. Now i want to move to Paris.
I also left NYC after 4 years. I was earning multiple incomes, 10% of which went toward NY state and city tax. I saved lots of money by moving to an income tax free state. 😊
Not everyone can handle the challenges of living in NYC. As the saying goes..."if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!" It's Darwin's law of natural selection, survival of the fittest. So sorry you weren't able in survive in NYC.
Life is more about then surviving. I did well, but still leaving in less than a week, after 63 years. Just went downhill, all the boroughs last 4 years.
@@jamesblair1211 LOL. I love my brothers and sisters where I live. I impress everyone with my haircutting skills. What you give out is what you receive.
Do not rent or live any apartment in the borough of Manhattan because they are very expensive; Unlike the other borough of the The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island you could get less expensive as New Yorker; even If I hit a jackpot lottery; I won’t throw the money that kind of lifestyle showing to the world of social media especially Manhattan.
yeah know.... ive lived in new york my whole life and the longer i live here, the more i love it because ive watched it go from dangerous to less dangerous so i cant wait to see it in another 10-20 years. for example, homelessness IS a big problem BUT thats better than 10-20 years ago, when gangs and robberies were the norm... i keep telling people i want to buy a house in the bronx because 20 years from now the bronx is going to be a great walkable city with proximity to manhattan... i could be wrong though, since i walk around the bronx regularly now so maybe my opinion is bias.
I visited New York at the beginning of April and I actually had a wonderful time! I must have been lucky, but having been to midtown, lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, NYC didn't seem to feel all that bad.
It's fine if you have lots of money and live in Manhattan. The overwhelming majority of NYC residents don't live in Manhattan. It's very different and much worse where they live. NYC RUclipsrs and tourists don't go to places most NYers live.
@@peterwelby you sound like a tourist. For one, New Yorkers don't even bother with Manhattan unless they have a job there. Two, if you think it's "much worse" outside of Manhattan to live well, sounds like your experience comes from a a guidebook you read 5 years ago in a magazine
Stop whining. It's all about perspective. I bet those newly arrived migrants love NYC; Jobs, shelter, transportation. They figure things out pretty quickly. If you're from the MIdwest or the South, NYC would wear on you pretty quick but natives New Yorkers just deal with it.
man dont talk about it just do it.. I'm from flatbush Brooklyn I moved to bayshore l.i and in 2008 got my other home in Pennsylvania and I've been happy since 95... I work in nyc I been seen the writing on the wall yrs ago you dummies are too late behind the eight ball..
@@gregorymaloney8102 45 years ago, one could buy a home in the metro area for a decent price. Why would you assume that I would think one is a bum for living in a rent stabilized apartment? I've known a number of people over the years who moved into beautiful rent stabilized apartments in good Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods many years ago, who will be there forever. I'm just saying that it's easy to talk when you and others got good deals because you were there at the right time. It's a lot different for people today who have to live in expensive rat holes.
Big city, small city, subburb..... pick one that is right for you. (Career, Education, family) personally ive lived in all 3 settings including nyc at different stages and appreciated what ea offered in my life. Oh and i was there during times that made this nyc look like disney world.
After only *4 years* ? Yes, it's definitely time to go! If I lived in the NYC you did, I'd go too! Been here 40+ decades, yet have not experienced the homelessness you described. Public transportation is pretty reliable and on point in the boroughs I need it to be. I'd bet you live in Manhattan; nice place to visit, terrible place to live. Good luck on your journey!
mass transit is a disaster. black bus drivers will try to avoid and NOT stop at the bus stop if it is white passengers. the trains are very dangerous with any crazy person or a simple felon in the car. you forget a few years back that asian girl was pushed on the tracks at times square and killed by a train. the guy was black. heavy black on asian crime here. media wont report it but is obvious. racial tensions are real bad. also train service is ALWAYS changed on weekends. trains are always always rerouted. i take the bus and train every single day. i live it every single day. i only live here because i make a lot of money. i own nothing here. no car no home and certainly dont care about this place. let it rot! bai lan, i say. gimme mines and i'm outta here when the time comes for me to be ready to go
I'm 62. NYC rents have always been "too high". The near institutionalized scams are a new development. When I was a teenager the homeless (serious alcoholics) mostly stuck to the Bowery, etc. The 1980s lifted all boats. The homeless that were just struggling with a bad life event could work their way back into society. I have no idea what's true or not, but it feels these days they don't. As there is income inequality at the top, there is homeless inequality at the bottom too. 1980 through 2010 was the golden period for NYC. Glad I lived through it. Very dark days ahead. But I still LOVE NYC, from 200 miles away ;)
@Invisiblewiz California is a state. NY is a state. His beef was with NYC. He never mentioned the city in California, which is key. If it's LA, he'd be better off staying put in NYC. 😳
I think they both stink, but NYC is a public transit culture (although dirty, and filled with homeless/crime)... LA is a car culture with bad parking and high traffic. Personally - I'd pick NYC over the two. Just cause I don't have to worry about my car getting broken into and parking.
I really wished I could have seen NYC pre 911 …I was too young and too broke to fly and stay out there…I drove through NYC in 2006 then flew and stayed a week last September
Their is homelessness everywhere . If you are having with realtors become one your self and make your own deals . I think you said you where one . maybe you were not good at your job . bro you are a pessimist and you complain too much .
he didn't complain enough. never even got into black on asian crime or other racial tensions. never talked about constant train service changes on every single weekend. or the ubiqutous pot smoking culture inculding in subway cars all the time. i can go on. this guy was actually soft.
Portland,Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago , Los Angeles and NYC; not a Trump supporting conservative city in the bunch and all collapsing under the drug/ mental illness/ homeless epidemic.

As there is income inequality at the top, there is homeless inequality at the bottom too. 1980 through 2010 was the golden period for NYC. Glad I lived through it. Very dark days ahead. But I still LOVE NYC, from 200 miles away ;)
There are no homelessness in Los Angeles, Detrioit, Chicago, San Francisco, Denver or Miami. LOL.
My love to you, I want to go and visit NYC. Why is this happening to my beautiful country. I'm born and raised in Chicago
Honey, the question ain’t why you’re leaving…the question is, what took you so long ?!
only the real ones last. You were never meant for that place. Like 90 percent of the people.
Progressive run 😂
I left 3 years ago!
Thank God you didn't move to Florida.
Concrete jungle. All ima say
Where to???
California!
😅😅😂😂😂 good luck.
@Invisiblewiz
California is a state. NY is a state.
His beef was with NYC. He never mentioned the city in California, which is key. If it's LA, he'd be better off staying put in NYC. 😳
Page "does not" disclose where this Author/Creator is from or resident city.. Back Off, Get Out, LEAVE!

Very well done
Bye then..
Liv’n in New York it’s like liv’n n Philly nether of them r 😌 to live
I want to like NY but I cant get over the rats , there everywhere
#3 and #4 Hmm I wonder why there are so many homeless 🤔
NYC = LA 😳
I think they both stink, but NYC is a public transit culture (although dirty, and filled with homeless/crime)... LA is a car culture with bad parking and high traffic. Personally - I'd pick NYC over the two. Just cause I don't have to worry about my car getting broken into and parking.
Misspelled public transit sh*t hole.
93000 homeless, but let's give illegals hotel rooms.

You have been networking with the wrong people.
Dude, you belong in NY
Yeah he does . He should try his luck living upstate .
Absolutely with the rest of them that are riddled with TDS.
@@MikeJAk49 What is TDS ?
good luck complaining about next place to support your “influencer” career
Don't blame the man for wanting to make a living!
We really know why you’re leaving but too scared to admit it .
2020..it started
NYC was a beautiful place when I visited and stay for a few months in 2000.
I really wished I could have seen NYC pre 911 …I was too young and too broke to fly and stay out there…I drove through NYC in 2006 then flew and stayed a week last September
welcome back to the modern wild wild west ;D
I came from.communist revolution
Their is homelessness everywhere . If you are having with realtors become one your self and make your own deals .
I think you said you where one . maybe you were not good at your job .
bro you are a pessimist and you complain too much .
he didn't complain enough. never even got into black on asian crime or other racial tensions. never talked about constant train service changes on every single weekend. or the ubiqutous pot smoking culture inculding in subway cars all the time. i can go on. this guy was actually soft.
Do u really like cheese
Don’t let the door hit you on your way out
So what exactly do conservatives do about homelessness That everyone has the answer for?? Trump? lol 😂
😂 What does that party or Trump have to do with this video?
@@MikeJAk49 rewind the video for the answer
@@robynrob9471 Buddy blue hairs control both the state and city... What do you expect Republicans to do.XD
@@robynrob9471 Blue hairs control both the state and city.... What are repubs supposed to do?
Portland,Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago , Los Angeles and NYC; not a Trump supporting conservative city in the bunch and all collapsing under the drug/ mental illness/ homeless epidemic.
