My god $2800 a month for that?? When you see that much graffiti and trash next to a park thats not a good thing. Means shady people will be hanging out at all times of the day. Hard pass.
Directly across from the elevated tracks (noise and vibration); trash bags next to the front entrance; one washer and dryer placed in the basement hallway; no microwave, dishwasher or counter space; one bathroom; tiny closets. Graffiti on the building tells me either the landlord doesn't care about upkeep or can't keep up with removing the graffiti. I have two words for this place: RIP OFF.
Oh, but 1400.00 for a 9x10 foot room is reasonable! You have the privilege of being bent over a barrel because you'll be living in Noo Yawk Shitty, the center of the universe! It's worth it! Think of what you get! You'll be one of the elite! Two dollars for a bottle of crappy water! Strength training because you have to haul everything everywhere, including your bicycle up multiple flights of stairs! Can't turn your back on anything because it will go walkabout in the time it takes to say so! Can you actually cook in what is laughably called a kitchen? Don't count on it, if you're sharing that 2800.00 cell with a slob. Look at that view! A brick wall. Can you open the one window you have and catch a breeze in the summer? Do you like the smell of exhaust and the constant street noise? There's so much to DO here! One stinking twee coffee shop and vegan steakhouse after another. And ninety-nine cent stores. Don't pay a penny more for that cheap plastic broom. You might need that penny for your rent. But but but...Brooklyn! Reasonable! Bullshit. I'll take the sticks every time.
I'm currently paying just under $1700 for my own apartment in Harlem (1-bed, pandemic deal). Seeing these new roommate/shared prices at $1400+ per person makes me VERY scared about the price I might see when it's time to renew my lease 😖
It's crazy how many important factors a person has to overlook just to rent a so-so apartment for such high rents. It's almost criminal really. Love the videos, tho. Keep 'em coming.
You're in the building attached to mine again and here are my notes as I watch: 1) That Tony's is never open, it's a mob front lol 2) this neighborhood is great but very very loud 3) the "park across the street" is not public 4) no dishwasher is insane 5) those bedrooms are a JOKE 6) the M Train is loud, do not be fooled 7) I pay $200 LESS to live 100 feet away and I have 3 bedrooms...the landlords in that spot are on one
@@beagledog2001 obviously no idea if it ACTUALLY is, but it’s been closed the entire two years I’ve lived here and is mysteriously “opened” once every three months but you can’t go in 🤣
That's literally my old neighborhood and I recognized every part that you showed! I'm definitley not suprised at the price because prices were rising when I lived there from 2014-2015 and when I moved back there a few years later I was paying $800 dollars for a room in a converted 4 bedroom apartment with one bathroom. Location is great but prices are outrageous.
Kudos on the " parcour " to reach the fire alarm. Impressive. Nice apartment. I noticed the 6th bullet point on the "Rules" for the washing machine " Do not wash pugs🐶 or blankets" ! 🤣🤣🤣 Funniest typo ever!
Son lives around that area, in one of the more modern apartment buildings (medicine cabinet is all mirrors, outside and in). He is in a one-bedroom apartment for $2,550/mo (microwave hood above range, dishwasher, washer/dryer in unit) and the bedroom is on the spacious side. The only problem is storage (as a hairstylist/platform artist/educator, he gets a lot of hair and skin products from the shows he goes to ). I told him to look at the parking garage, since that's where the storage units are. I hope he found them. There are two nice bakeshops next to each other, a fruit stand outside the subway station. I love The Altitude (cafe that we went to when I visited).
Well... let's start with the nice things; I like that it is right across the street from a park. Other than that... No ma'am. No sir. There are just too many other things that rub me the wrong way. Only ONE washer and ONE dryer for that entire building? Basically on top of railroad tracks and graffiti wherever and everywhere you look... Bedrooms are too small... On and on... No. Nope. Nuh-Uh, even at $2800/month.
Probably a reasonable deal at 1400 / month each and a decent apartment. I lived 50--60 feet from the overhead subway which runs 24 hours a day. The noise is horrible, especially when you are sleeping.
It’s still hard to wrap my head around the prices. My 1800 sq ft house with almost full basement payment is only a little over half one of the $1400 bedroom rent.
@@charlottejerome5196 Respect. For some that is paradise. I’ve had many friends move out of NY to a quiet area with a huge house for 1/3 of the price paid in NYC. Me I’d never ever leave! I love it here! I love the options. But these apartments Cash shows are def not the norm. These are bad apartments in crappy neighborhoods paying Manhattan prices.
@@villain1813 absolutely I love his videos. I love the city but prefer to be close enough to get what I need but peace and quiet of more rural areas. I can get to two major metropolitan areas(Louisville and Lexington ) within an hours drive and Cincinnati is only a couple hours away. I’m sure my house would be worth quite a bit more if it was in NYC as well. We have friends that lived on Long Island.
I understand what you are saying Cash about it being value for money but I could never live in a building or area that was covered in graffiti. The kitchen has very little preparation space, no microwave or dishwasher so it gets a no from me.
Couple of rolling counters could take care of that problem. I don't use dishwashers anyway because I have vintage dishes and dishwashers would destroy them. My problem with the place is that the rooms were a bit small to use as a two bedroom apartment.
That rent is entirely too much for that sketchy neighborhood in Brooklyn. Even though the apartment is nice, I wouldn’t live in that part of Bushwick if the rent was free. Thanks Cash❤️!!!
Hi Cash I sure do enjoy your videos. You haven’t been posting as many videos as usual. Are you taking a break? You have a beautiful family, especially Violet. She’s an angel!❤️💕
Thanks for showing me the old neighborhood. The building where there was the savings store used to be my family business. It looks good and the neighborhood seems alot safer and cleaner than it used to be. Maybe there's just a better class of graffiti than there was in the 70's-90's.
850 square foot one bedroom apartment on the first floor with heat and hot water included. In Astoria down by the ferry. My rent is 1,450 per month I got a good deal here. At least I think so.
Ha! Unless the angle was distorted, that small room is barely fit as an adult bedroom unless they like bunk beds. Rent can hardly be split evenly considering that inequity 😋. Maybe I’m too picky but there are so many shortcuts - no window screens, creepy laundry area, no dishwasher, icky sink, dented refrigerator, barely enuf storage in only bathroom, kitchen island would have afforded more storage and dishwasher, no microwave or convection oven.
Kitchen dishwasher DIY idea! You have a thrift store just a block away right? Buy 2 same size dressers. Place a portable dishwasher (butcher block top) in-between the dressers. Create a countertop of mdf surrounding and paint(finsh with epoxy) the top to match the kitchen. There is space to extend the counter for seating too.
What size bed can fit in that nook in the first bedroom? A twin (haha)? That kitchen's def missing a couple things, and would have liked to hear it when the train went by. But good video as always!
How much is the rent for the "stealth camper"? That white van (seen at 7:34) looks like a contractor's work van, but the solar panels give away the secret.
Walking on the street you wouldn't notice because of the roof racks holding up the impressive amount of solar . Park there too long and one of the local artists will probably tag the van thinking it's a work truck .
By NY realtor standards, that is four bedroom stand alone house, with rooftop access with 360 degrees views all over the neighbourhood, so its probably 6000 as 1500 per person with windows and doors included in that price!
I just can't imagine $1,400.00 a month per person being reasonable. At that price, I'd rather be making a house payment. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty nice apartment, but I'm still glad that I don't live in Brooklyn. I couldn't afford it.
But some people WANT to live in Brooklyn, and there's only one Brooklyn. I personally don't want to buy a house since it's just me. Too much space and responsibility, even if it does make more financial sense. But also you can forget about a car and the insurance, maintenance, gas that comes with it if you live in a hood like this.
Much better prices for bigger spaces in the north. Bronx, Yonkers, Westchester more bang for the buck but the trade off is added commute time. I rather pay less in rent and sit on public transportation an extra 30 minutes but that’s just me others want to pay more and be 15 minutes away from the office
@@janus9824 or queens. i'm currently in a rent stabilized apt, paying $1,500 for a 3-bedroom in queens end. i know i'm paying way less than market, even way less than rent-stabilized, but the point is that you can find cheaper options if you are willing to commute. at the end of the day, most people living in bkn that still have to commute to manhattan are also close to an hour away. i'm a little over an hour. Personally I wouldn't move to yonkers or westchester because public transportation off-hours can be deadly, in terms of time and money. at least that is my understanding if for ex needed to return from manhattan late at night. besides some charter schools require you to live in nyc.
@@a-love-supremist Yeah, I know people want to live there, which is why....people rent there. I'm just looking at these cramped little places he shows with barely any closets, rarely any outdoor space and these strange kitchen-living room combos at astronomical prices. And all in a scary, dumpy looking neighborhood with people on subways that will either knife you or push you onto the tracks. To me, it's crazy.
It truly blows my mind what people will pay to live in NYC. I'm thinking $2800 a month for a two bedroom apartment with shared laundry is insane, especially when the building is covered in graffiti.
I mean, everyone is different. Not everyone wants to live in a three bedroom house in Nowheresville, Arkansas with a $700 mortgage. What people want is the three bedroom house with a $700 mortgage in NYC, and that's just not possible.
unless you want to get stabbed by a heroin/fentanyl needle from a bum then... no.... literally anywhere else in the USA is better to live than NYC. it's a dieing city
I'm a homebody so I wouldn't be out and about too often looking at it. But given the choice, I'd definitely not live in an ugly place like that (yeah, I said it, lol. I don't mind actual wall murals with care and love put into them, but grafitti is just gross)
It's just one of Bushwick flavors, neighborhood characteristics that make this place unique. Even parked vans get some spray loving. Some folks are like cats, marking their territory. On the bright side, you'll always know where you are based on the paintings.
My 2,200 sq ft home is $560 a month rural MO but I can be at work in 3 min, my gym in 6 min and downtown in a 8 min walk. All depends on what you are looking for. On the other hand no trains.
Myrtle Ave for that price? No thanks 3:30 QDoba is way better that Chipolte, they offer way more sides and free guac. Fight me on it! 3:48 Yeah, that new buffalo ranch sandwich sucks. Stick with the original spicy one and add Sweet Heat sauce on it. Fight me on it! 4:50 Thats a hood move. Smoke/carbon monoxide alarm keeps beeping, instead of replacing it or the battery, we remove the battery. Ive done this so many times in so many apartments 🤣 5:37 Bathroom by door entrance is always a bad layout. Bathroom should be back by the bedrooms. 7:00 12" deep cabinet over a full size fridge is never a good sign. Its supposed to be 24" deep with an end panels. 7:37 That Puerto Rican flag tells you what the actual noise level will be. If you see a Puerto Rican or Dominican flag hanging out a window or side of the building you know not to live there because it will be loud music all hours of the morning and barbecuing on the sidewalks. Most likely noise and fights.
I would call your last part a little racist, but even as a black person, I've yet to live in an area with other black people that doesn't have at least one person who doesn't understand everyone doesn't want to hear their goddamn music from their car 🙄. Thankfully my current apartment has few such people but my last apartment? Oh my god...get ready to have your windows rattled at all hours of the day and night (it'll maybe go quiet for a bit between 1AM and 6AM). And my neighbors behind me were older folks that liked to have hangouts...every fucking weekend. They played old school R&B, so not as much rattling of the windows and the music choices were better, but it was still very loud and my bedroom faced where they gathered. I'd sleep downstairs in the armchair, waiting for them to wrap up around 12 or 1AM so I could get some sleep. I worked weekends then (every job I've had aside from this one, I've worked weekends. People don't seem to realize that shit, that people still need to work on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, inconsiderate pricks) and so I'd get very little sleep. It makes you want to call the police, but then we have the complicated situation with the police and a simple noise complaint can lead to someone dead. I now pay almost twice the cost in rent...but it's so worth it. I love my black people, but ya'll are too fucking noisy a lot of the time.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Far from racist 🤣. As a black immigrant living in the Bronx for over 30 years I have learned to move away from certain people just for my own peace of mind and I use to live in the Projects so it was little to no rules when it came to noise ordnance. By the time the cops respond to a 311 noise compliant that was deemed non emergency it’s 4-5 hours after the fact if they don’t automatically close the complaint. My ex lived over by Dyckman, if you’re from NYC you know how that area go. You see them flags hanging out the window then you not getting no sleep. I could never stay at her place over night. Then she moved over to HighBridge by Yankee Stadium, same thing wherever the flags were hanging. Then when they bring the cars with the sound systems or worse the old people crew with the oversized Harley Street Glide Motocycles blasting music it’s a nuisance. I completely understand what you mean. I had to move into a CoOp to get away from all that noise because as a shareholder, Management don’t want things in writing about problems happening in the building.
@Pacey Baumgardner i lived in nyc for years and never would at the current hellscape level of depravity it is in. most people that live in NYC have stockholm syndrome, they dont realize there are greener pastures like 10 minutes across a river
I thought this building looked familiar, can't forget all that "art" on the exterior! It's not bad but I wouldn't live here lol, hope you're doing well Cash!
I was watching these videos every day for 2 months before moving to New York from Europe and now I click on a video after a while of not watching and my building was in the video! by the Bushwick bakery! amazing cafe
I think in much of Manhattan, heat and hot water are included in the rent, but elsewhere (like this apartment) you pay for it yourself. So $2,800/month is a little misleading.
Also in other boroughs heat and hot water is included, at least this is my experience after renting in the bronx and queens. You pay for electricity and cooking.
We were there and it was nice especially WHISKERS Vegan Cafe and there is a further really nice apartment down Hart Avenue, and if you are into Jazz then there is a brilliant Jazz club beside WHISKERS Vegan Cafe, Just one little problem the magnetic strip reader on the turnstile in the Myrtle Ave stop closest to the wall is dirty and doesn't always read successfully maybe better to use one of the other turnstyles or walk a short distance to the next stop.
Everytime you mention the price of whatever drink you get that day I'm always shocked. Even after so many episodes. Meanwhile, in Spain, I pay 1.30 euros for a really tasty coffee anywhere. Yes, anywhere. Unless it's a Starbucks
1400 a bedroom is cheap? Just go to the Heights. Got a 3bed 1 bath for $2400 a month in total. Living room nearly non existent but each room is way bigger
uhhhh i wouldn't call this affordable for needing to have so many roommates. i used to pay more than $200 less than this in queens and only had one roommate, and it was a MUCH more convenient location. i just dont get the hype (or prices) of buschwick.
I’m currently moving out of this building. The new management is raising rent to an outrageous price. Which doesn’t seem fair due to the lack of service you get with the building. I’ve have a literal hole in my ceiling for over 5 months due to a pipe leak. Rather than fix the leak they just patched up my ceiling and called it a day.
@tiffany curtis - Sorry, but there’s zero difference between "art" graffiti and gang graffiti. It’s all vandalism, and it turns an otherwise decent area into a trashy neighborhood.
My god $2800 a month for that?? When you see that much graffiti and trash next to a park thats not a good thing. Means shady people will be hanging out at all times of the day. Hard pass.

@@janus9824 or queens. i'm currently in a rent stabilized apt, paying $1,500 for a 3-bedroom in queens end. i know i'm paying way less than market, even way less than rent-stabilized, but the point is that you can find cheaper options if you are willing to commute. at the end of the day, most people living in bkn that still have to commute to manhattan are also close to an hour away. i'm a little over an hour.
Personally I wouldn't move to yonkers or westchester because public transportation off-hours can be deadly, in terms of time and money. at least that is my understanding if for ex needed to return from manhattan late at night. besides some charter schools require you to live in nyc.
@@a-love-supremist Yeah, I know people want to live there, which is why....people rent there. I'm just looking at these cramped little places he shows with barely any closets, rarely any outdoor space and these strange kitchen-living room combos at astronomical prices. And all in a scary, dumpy looking neighborhood with people on subways that will either knife you or push you onto the tracks. To me, it's crazy.
It truly blows my mind what people will pay to live in NYC. I'm thinking $2800 a month for a two bedroom apartment with shared laundry is insane, especially when the building is covered in graffiti.
I mean, everyone is different. Not everyone wants to live in a three bedroom house in Nowheresville, Arkansas with a $700 mortgage. What people want is the three bedroom house with a $700 mortgage in NYC, and that's just not possible.
I pay $1,400 in an apartment in Overland Park KS. My apartment is cheap. The area you live in must be a low cost of living area.
You have truly come into your own. You could do this blindfolded. Great job. 🤓
I would probably use it as a one bedroom and use the other one as a living room and the common space as a dining room
I had deja vu with that fire alarm, I think from your older video i guess?
Decent unit in and of itself. Given the “meh” neighborhood, covered in graffiti, is it really worth the price?
unless you want to get stabbed by a heroin/fentanyl needle from a bum then... no.... literally anywhere else in the USA is better to live than NYC. it's a dieing city
I'm a homebody so I wouldn't be out and about too often looking at it. But given the choice, I'd definitely not live in an ugly place like that (yeah, I said it, lol. I don't mind actual wall murals with care and love put into them, but grafitti is just gross)
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley In some NYC neighborhoods it's a feature
It's just one of Bushwick flavors, neighborhood characteristics that make this place unique. Even parked vans get some spray loving. Some folks are like cats, marking their territory. On the bright side, you'll always know where you are based on the paintings.
My 2,200 sq ft home is $560 a month rural MO but I can be at work in 3 min, my gym in 6 min and downtown in a 8 min walk.
All depends on what you are looking for.
On the other hand no trains.
@Pacey Baumgardner and that’s the way I like it
I rent a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath, 3000 sqf house here for $2600/ month.
Prices in NYC are just ridiculous
Myrtle Ave for that price? No thanks
3:30 QDoba is way better that Chipolte, they offer way more sides and free guac. Fight me on it!
3:48 Yeah, that new buffalo ranch sandwich sucks. Stick with the original spicy one and add Sweet Heat sauce on it. Fight me on it!
4:50 Thats a hood move. Smoke/carbon monoxide alarm keeps beeping, instead of replacing it or the battery, we remove the battery. Ive done this so many times in so many apartments 🤣
5:37 Bathroom by door entrance is always a bad layout. Bathroom should be back by the bedrooms.
7:00 12" deep cabinet over a full size fridge is never a good sign. Its supposed to be 24" deep with an end panels.
7:37 That Puerto Rican flag tells you what the actual noise level will be. If you see a Puerto Rican or Dominican flag hanging out a window or side of the building you know not to live there because it will be loud music all hours of the morning and barbecuing on the sidewalks. Most likely noise and fights.
Thanks for the junkfood tips. I might try that nextime I have Popeye's.
I would call your last part a little racist, but even as a black person, I've yet to live in an area with other black people that doesn't have at least one person who doesn't understand everyone doesn't want to hear their goddamn music from their car 🙄. Thankfully my current apartment has few such people but my last apartment? Oh my god...get ready to have your windows rattled at all hours of the day and night (it'll maybe go quiet for a bit between 1AM and 6AM). And my neighbors behind me were older folks that liked to have hangouts...every fucking weekend. They played old school R&B, so not as much rattling of the windows and the music choices were better, but it was still very loud and my bedroom faced where they gathered. I'd sleep downstairs in the armchair, waiting for them to wrap up around 12 or 1AM so I could get some sleep. I worked weekends then (every job I've had aside from this one, I've worked weekends. People don't seem to realize that shit, that people still need to work on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, inconsiderate pricks) and so I'd get very little sleep. It makes you want to call the police, but then we have the complicated situation with the police and a simple noise complaint can lead to someone dead. I now pay almost twice the cost in rent...but it's so worth it. I love my black people, but ya'll are too fucking noisy a lot of the time.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Far from racist 🤣. As a black immigrant living in the Bronx for over 30 years I have learned to move away from certain people just for my own peace of mind and I use to live in the Projects so it was little to no rules when it came to noise ordnance. By the time the cops respond to a 311 noise compliant that was deemed non emergency it’s 4-5 hours after the fact if they don’t automatically close the complaint.
My ex lived over by Dyckman, if you’re from NYC you know how that area go. You see them flags hanging out the window then you not getting no sleep. I could never stay at her place over night. Then she moved over to HighBridge by Yankee Stadium, same thing wherever the flags were hanging.
Then when they bring the cars with the sound systems or worse the old people crew with the oversized Harley Street Glide Motocycles blasting music it’s a nuisance.
I completely understand what you mean. I had to move into a CoOp to get away from all that noise because as a shareholder, Management don’t want things in writing about problems happening in the building.
Hello. There was graffiti on the glass of that ONG Pizza place. The graffiti was overwhelming.
1400 for a room where people are overdosing on fentanyl by the train station right outside. good times, keep it classy NY!
@Pacey Baumgardner i lived in nyc for years and never would at the current hellscape level of depravity it is in. most people that live in NYC have stockholm syndrome, they dont realize there are greener pastures like 10 minutes across a river
I thought this building looked familiar, can't forget all that "art" on the exterior! It's not bad but I wouldn't live here lol, hope you're doing well Cash!
This is Gonna B so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍….
What a minute, each of the rooms is 1400? So.....🤔 ummm No!
I was watching these videos every day for 2 months before moving to New York from Europe and now I click on a video after a while of not watching and my building was in the video! by the Bushwick bakery! amazing cafe
Bushwick cafes are good. Good coffee, good pastries. Love their chocolate croissants.
What is your place like?
All that graffiti right beside tracks?? Hard NO.
Cash doing parkour to take down the smoke detector is hilarious 😂
How much is the rent for the motorhome parked on the street? I bet someone is living there.
Who needs a ladder when Cash can balance on the door knob
I'm curious if rents in NYC ever include heat/water/electricity, or do you have to pay all utilities on top of the outrageous rents?
Absolutely not being from NYC. Water is included and trash and you have to pay Con Ed enormous amounts for light and Gas.
I think in much of Manhattan, heat and hot water are included in the rent, but elsewhere (like this apartment) you pay for it yourself. So $2,800/month is a little misleading.
Also in other boroughs heat and hot water is included, at least this is my experience after renting in the bronx and queens. You pay for electricity and cooking.
How do New Yorkers deal with such small closets....seeing how they have all those winter coats and bulky stuff?
I was not expecting you to jump up and climb gave me a good chuckle
We were there and it was nice especially WHISKERS Vegan Cafe and there is a further really nice apartment down Hart Avenue, and if you are into Jazz then there is a brilliant Jazz club beside WHISKERS Vegan Cafe, Just one little problem the magnetic strip reader on the turnstile in the Myrtle Ave stop closest to the wall is dirty and doesn't always read successfully maybe better to use one of the other turnstyles or walk a short distance to the next stop.
I lived in Brooklyn, all the graffiti is just not appealing, Bushwick is definitely not the greatest area but there are worse.
Everytime you mention the price of whatever drink you get that day I'm always shocked. Even after so many episodes.
Meanwhile, in Spain, I pay 1.30 euros for a really tasty coffee anywhere. Yes, anywhere. Unless it's a Starbucks
Would his job pay as well in your town?
Starbucks =/= tasty coffee!
Starbucks =/= overpriced bean juice.
Myrtle Ave's real name is Murder Ave. Your life is priceless and You have got one only
So many doors in the small room but you could add an island in the kitchen making more prep space and an eating area.
Anyone else thought that thrift store was a blockbuster at first ?!??
I live in CT.... and the amount of NY'ers that have moved here since 2020 is insane
How often does the train go by? So often you won't even notice it.
That is a killer layout. Mini-dishwasher, half, would be awesome.
Ain't nothing goin on but the rent.
They could have put more in the kitchen. But otherwise a nice place.
Nice place another great video👏😁
I was born in Brooklyn and lived there from the mid 1950s to the early 1960s. One never saw graffiti then.
Thats because it was "invented" in the 70s
What kind of bathtub would be the kind in which you would take a bath and hate yourself, may I ask?
Some NYC bathtubs are really gross.
Guess there's no sink sprayer
In that graffiti-encrusted neighborhood, it was probably stolen.
4:41 are we not gonna talk about that superhero move right there
Is he really back?
How do your cameras not get swiped?? 📷
1400 a bedroom is cheap? Just go to the Heights. Got a 3bed 1 bath for $2400 a month in total. Living room nearly non existent but each room is way bigger
When u climbed up the door I found myself fighting the urge yell PARKOUURRR! LOL
Cash needs to tour this apt on a weekend night when all the graffitti scum come out to play. Scary place
Love the smoke detector removal. I would have crushed that door knob. Lol
Hey cash i see u in bklyn my hometown
I'm waiting for the day one of those doors comes right off the frame... 🤣
at one moment i thought he will jump out of the trashcan 😂😂😂😂
uhhhh i wouldn't call this affordable for needing to have so many roommates. i used to pay more than $200 less than this in queens and only had one roommate, and it was a MUCH more convenient location. i just dont get the hype (or prices) of buschwick.
I'm surprised you didn't refer to the elevated train track as the " el. " Are you from Cleveland originally? ;) Big fan of your videos. Thank you
Thank you Charles for making Cash buy healthier caffeine choices.
I’m currently moving out of this building. The new management is raising rent to an outrageous price. Which doesn’t seem fair due to the lack of service you get with the building. I’ve have a literal hole in my ceiling for over 5 months due to a pipe leak. Rather than fix the leak they just patched up my ceiling and called it a day.
Sometimes graffiti looks cool in New York but it’s a difference between art graffiti and gang bangers leavin they tag 😂😂😂
If the person who owns the property or item that got painted didn't give permission, it's vandalism. 99.9% of it is vandalism.
@tiffany curtis - Sorry, but there’s zero difference between "art" graffiti and gang graffiti. It’s all vandalism, and it turns an otherwise decent area into a trashy neighborhood.
I can’t find the link to that other apartment you spoke of. 🤷🏻♀️
