Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer.

I feel like it should be mandatory for every apartment to at least have a kitchen and a bathroom
As a landlord it can be a liability
To have a kitchen and bathroom? Hope ur joking
@@dennismetzger9287suck it up they took the risk
@@dennismetzger9287 You should start some new hobbies like playing in highway traffic. Heard it's good for the soul
@@dennismetzger9287 landlords are a liability
I wouldn’t think this is so bad if there was at least a bathroom… this guy seems happy though so good for him.
As long as he's happy but that still crazy.
that might be a side effect of copium tho. he might be one disappointment or medical emergency away from suicide.
Imagine getting food poisoning and having a shared bathroom
There's something to be said for being able to be happy with so little. He lives in the richest country in the world though, he shouldn't need to live like that.
It gives the same energy as people in terrible relationships but can’t face the fact. If it’s a choice that’s one thing but this is necessity and it’s wild
The only thing i dislike about his apartment being telivised is landlords romantasizing it and pushing it to be the new standard of living
He doesn't have to, he just wouldn't live in Manhattan, he can move to VW to live like a king on $22k a year
To be fair ive been living like this for so long having a bigger living space would literally make me uncomfortable
If you enjoy the city there's really no reason you need that much space tbh. It's probably improve people's lives to just have a place this affordable even if tiny.
As an aspiring musician , I completely see where their delusions come from. Their dreams mean so much to them their willing to not see how much they’re actually sacrificing for the POSSIBILITY to make it out there. My kuddos to them. But everyone deserves a kitchen and a bathroom in their apartment fr.
i've lived in toledo my whole life, and every time Hasan brings up Toledo for whatever reason it rings so true
Holy shit someone else from the Glass City. Wonder if we know one another 🤔 Moved in late 2016 but I've lived in Maumee, South Toledo off Airport, & W. Sylvania was my last apartment
@@phantomgamelab airport is a ways from me, i'm from the west side near the start of sylvania township. Awesome to learn there's fellow hasanabiheads out here!
Actually just moved to the Toledo area a few weeks ago. I knew what I was getting into when I decided to move out here. 😅 So far, really enjoying the change of pace from my hometown in southern California.
"You will do better in Toledo"
Rude to say he’s not smart. Being positive and optimistic is awesome. His life isn’t for everyone but I love his attitude.
Yeah I personally don't need much to be happy. I don't know why, but people just shit on minimalist. I don't shit on people for wanting to live in a mansion, but it's not for me. No one should be FORCED to live this way, but nothing wrong with choosing to
Toxic positivity = Delusion
I think my frustration from the original video isn't the guy himself, but that it just feels like the person who made this video is just using him to insinuate that everyone else who asks for more is just being entitled
@@Farmboy_Habibi interesting, I didn't personally get that from what he said, I think he was just speaking his own experience and opinion. Everyone is different though. I don't think living in a tiny apartment / house is for most people, but some people genuinely enjoy it.
@@Farmboy_Habibi I really didn't get that at all. I love cities and I totally think the sacrifices these dudes make are valid. The alternative in most of the country is living isolated in a suburb where you need to drive 30 minutes to the grocery store. We need better missing middle housing options available to everyone, but if I had to choose I'm going with the shoebox in NYC any day. I can't accept the social isolation of the suburbs.
I don't even think the apartment is bad. I've lived in a small apartment. The price is insane and i will never understand how Americans stand these rent prices.
Then move to a city that charges less
@@warrioremperor6320 do i look dumb enough to move to NYC or anywhere else in USA for that matter?
@@doggodoggo3000 sure. Me and my gf are moving to Netherlands now. would be dope to split the rent
We don’t have a choice lol
@@germwarfare i know and I feel sorry for you.... in a funny way
i do doordash for work. it frustrates me when other delivery drivers steal food or treat it like shit. its literally the bare minimum to just set food down normally.
I think that dude wants to love NY so much, that he's in denial. Plus, that's not an apartment, it's a broom closet with a mezzanine.
I feel like I'm going crazy when I read these comments on tiny homes / apartments. To me that's like the dream. If I lived in a big space I wouldn't use like 90% of it. I don't own much and even when I get money I don't really buy much anything, so I wouldn't need the space either. That being said, these apartments should be a Choice not a necessity. It's like people living Vanlife. If you choose to travel in a converted van that's living the Vanlife, if your forced to live in your car that's homelessness
Nah I think he seems genuinely happy, NYC real estate sucks ass but it is a very nice city to live in, in comparison to most other cities in the US, you get the best public transportation in the country and there’s tons of things to do
Are u not in denial that this man is happy???
@@Fucyallfr Nah, personally I wish the dude all the happiness in the world. It's just the vibe I'm getting from him.
all i can think abt is how bad a tiny apartment with a cat litter tray in it would smell
@@superkoopatrooper4879thats not really gonna stop the smell
I've lived in a tiny apartment that was bit wider than that. If you use good sand and don't let it sink in for god knows how long, it's completely fine.
Not just the smell! Living with a cat in such cramped conditions he's gonna end up contacting toxoplasmosis.
@@xSwordLilyx scooped it 2-3 times a day and change the litter every month. We have three cats and three boxes and you cannot smell them unless they literally just dumped.
@@PirateGrenadeyeah 2-3 times a day sucks. Might as well get a dog at that point. I guess cause you have multiple cats
I mean the apartments are terrible but there living in New York City they have everything near by and the best public transportation in the country. Can't be more depressing than living in rural Ohio in 4 times the space with nothing to do.
Okay cool story
wow
The walking thing confused me at first I thought he was dancing in the middle of his streaming room 😂
Love the guy's energy, and quite like the apartment too. In New York, uh yes!
A lot of the inconveniences he experiences are fine in the short term. But having them as your permanent living situation is another. I live in a nice apartment complex and based on the state of the public spaces any kind of shared bathroom would be unusable. If he broke his leg, not only does his bed become inaccessible but so does his primary mode of travel. He doesn’t have a proper kitchen, hand washing dishes is water wasting and the lack of oven is a deal breaker for me. 90% of people put into his living situation would absolutely hate it.
@@SteveC86 Good for you! You can hate it if you want!👍
One of the things holding me back from moving there. So small spaces I need at least a room a kitchen and a rest room some where to like stretch my legs and not feel like I’m living in someone’s closet.
It's great that this guy is happy despite how messed up rent is but rent is still ridiculous in the US and the wealth disparity all around him is grotesque. Personal happiness is wonderful but it doesn't take away from the inherent brokenness of the rental market in the US.
Honestly for 700$ this isnt bad for NYC , basically a studio for himself when rooms go for 1000 and up , no room is less than that in NYC , LA , Miami , even Chicago or other relatively big metropolis in the USA
I’d much rather live in a shoebox apartment in NYC than live in a big house surrounded by other houses that look copy and pasted a thousand times and is only accessible by car
The whole idea of NYC is living in the city not your house the city is why your there
YES dude this is what I'm saying. Car dependent suburbia is hell. Most people probably want something in the middle, but if I had to choose, it's the shoebox in the city every time
I know it's tiny but as someone who loves small and cozy spaces, it looks great to me lol
Throwback to undergrad. I miss queens so much!
Land lord gonna watch, split the apartment in two, and charge each renter double. Dood said it would still be worth it after all
This video is depressing.
Years ago I was living as a foreign in a big city, I came to the conclussion that they develope a coping mechanism (like a Stockholm syndrome) where they start loving the place, even when they city is a SHIT HOLE! Like, I really don't get how can they want to live there.
Because it’s a good city, that’s why they think it’s worth it to live there even though it is really not ideal
I feel like a lot of people who move to NYC end up living a sunk cost situation, where they already gave everything up and made the big move so if they were to turn back it would ruin it all. Also they really want to make money in the arts and there’s only two hopefully hubs for that in the US
How do you explain people who immediately love it then
Lmaooooo chat got Hasan on the treadmill
Granted I had a shower, toilet and small kitchen but I had a smaller place than that in the mid 2000s in central London for £600/mth, seems pretty cheap tbf
Healthy resting HR is 60-100. Y'all should see my insane HR. I have POTS so it goes from 55 to 125 just going from sitting to standing lol. Light exercise makes it jump to 175-190 sometimes.
All I could think about is that 100 years ago a full 3 generation immigrant family lived in that space.
The only thing I miss about living in the city was being able to get food delivered late at night. I’m in a small country town now and everything closes by 9-10pm, and last call on delivery orders is 9pm for pretty much everything.
Dude took shrooms before the interview lol
Nevermind everything else but I get how he feels about NYC ive traveled my fair share around the world and i still love New York City the atmosphere is so fascinating.
The apartments in Japan are bigger then this lol 😂
In Richmond Virginia 687 would be considered a steal rn for these rooms lmao
Bruh where in richmond you living? My friend is i like a newly constructed penthouse apartment and per bedroom and its only like 900?
Yo, let's clarify something. Those dudes EACH pay 750. That means that tiny place costs 1500 a month. Spotty electrical, barely working water, non-existent kitchen, 1500 dollars a month. Man wut???
Heck yeah for fixed gear!! Flats are so nice to ride fixed!!
Oh... nevermind. He has a single speed bike
Bro wheres his fridge 💀
I mean rent is bonkers right now. My ex is paying $700 for a tiny apartment on the outskirts of St. Louis ffs.
And she is a manager at a health spa.
Rent in St Louis is not nearly as high as anywhere else. You can literally buy a nice ass 2-3 bed brick house in the city for that price. I'm paying just under $800 for a 3 bed 2 bath. The prices have only increased in the "outskirts" aka where the white Republicans have all moved to get away from black people and live in the middle of nowhere.
@@kpstl26 well I can assure you there aren't many white people living in her complex.
Also just did some quick price checking and $700 seems about on the money for a poor quality 1 bedroom apartment in st. Louis.
@@kpstl26 For real, I am staying in a nice little house with a medium backyard for 1000. BUUUUT since it is a black neighborhood, most people assume it is a bad neighborhood. My neighbors are lower income, but not bad people! I'm white and I dont even bother telling coworkers where I live anymore because it is so annoying to hear them trash talk areas they don't even have the balls to check out themselves. All they look at is the demographic and make up their mind. I've been here 5 years, and the low rent is allowing me to save for a home.
....Okay watched the whole thing of the 1st one and I'm left asking WHERE IS THE CAT'S LITTER BOX THO?!
I can’t even imagine finding happiness from living in a closet apartment and looking out your window at a $25 million penthouse. That is some crazy Stockholm syndrome level stuff.
I'm living for Hasan doing streams on the walkpad while talking about NY apartments it's giving Amber Khan vibes
You are mister bean?
FDR Katherine Hepburn Hasan needs to be a constant thing esp for Fear & and QT Cinderella’s murder mysteries
Hallucinate differently LMAOOOO
0 dollar gym in Manhattan??? Call it what it is bro, a mat.
And that shit was probably 11.99 plus tax
His chat really finds a way to bitch about everything. Calling the guy stupid or whatever because he’s happy in that space just speaks more about you
At least he sees joy in that kind of life style. I could never do something like that. That looks like a solitary confinement cell to me.
is it me, or does this video feel like this guy is an actor. it feels like i'm watching a character from The Office
Thats because he's an NPC
I litterally take care maintain and manage all my stuff. And its allot more than a bike and guitar.
Dudes a walking stereotype of new York hipsters, I won't lie
The Frankie special is him getting swindled
Never seen people be so altruistic and zesty over the shittiest closet on earth
Omg I'm crying he's seems like such a sweet happy guy. He deserves the world. I hope one day I could make my life work for myself so that even I too could be content in the hell that is capitalism.
Looks like my single college dorm room
Holy sniky.. 11 for that meal??? I cant eat that cheap in Oregon!
The budding actor duo had waaaay too much fun shooting the b-role for their interview
I'm paying 45 hundred for an apartment and I don't think I'm as happy as these guys
Pay a mortgage at that point.
4500 USD or some other currency cause HOW?!!
@@ThexDynastxQueen I live in nyc. It's insane for a decent 2 bedroom.
@@seabass8154 As a wise TikTok once said "YOU NEED TO LEAVE" cause that'd be high even for a mortgage 😰😰😰
I'm sure you have personal reasons for staying but I'd try to commute even it was a 2hr drive to save $2-3K.
How tf nobody mentioned that he's getting paid minimum wage as a batista TRAINER...
well i guess he is very happy with what he has. he is much much happier than most people at least
for 700$ (equivalent in euros) i live in a 66m² apartment
Where in Europe?
This mentality that paying cheap rent and living "near" nice apartments is so fucking weird.
Like being a poor person on the Titanic shoveling coal into the engine but being like "Pog we are basically living with the rich people for way less"
That NYC apartment is for whole family if that’s in Hong Kong, their latest public housing project have units that’s only 190 square feet for family of 3, it’s smaller than most garage in US, what a first world global city eh?
10 x 16' $650 Portland
Everybody seems to be overlooking the guys at 18:00 say they pay 750 each...totaling 1500 for that place.
all those "apartments" would be illegal for even prisoners in Germany. there is good reason to regulate landlords.
With as much as Hasan likes Japan, I would think he would understand the appeal of a small living space within a very livable city. I think LA lifestyle is skewing his view on how people actually live in cities...
I was like, eh who cares they're happy at least
then mf pulled out 700$ cologne and started monologuing like tiktok life gurus lmao
Transatlantic Accent = Canadian Accent
shared bathrooms are totally normal in middle - europe / austria, one of the worlds richest countries.
That apartment is so good, pure envy
What so bad about a shared bathroom? He probably shares it with one other person or at maximum 4 other people. Plenty of people all over the country his age are sharing apartments with a few other people and have to share a bathroom. This young dude has his own sleeping and cooking area unlike a lot of people
Occasionally shitting your pants!
Nah, sharing a bathroom ain't it.(with strangers)
Ive shared 2 bathrooms with 7 people in Lisbon
Media : facility rates are low
Well no shit ...
Chat was shitting on these dudes, but honestly I doubt any of them have experienced living in a city like New York, especially bc I'm sure most of the chatters are from North America. Yes, I think everyone should at least have a bathroom with normal running water in their unit, and probably more than 100 square feet of space, but I would absolutely prefer one of these tiny apartments in NYC than a single family home in a cul de sac. Having so many city amenities at your doorstep and not needing a car affords so much freedom, and it's better for your health too. That first guy seemed like he had it pretty good. Biking every day is great for you, his apartment was cute, and he can work a fun hourly job and still afford to live in the city. I don't think they're coping, I think they are happy they found a slice of happiness in this crazy world. That might not look the same for everyone, and that's okay.
There’s definitely a risk-reward weighing hat goes into living in these kinds of spaces. I think the sad part about this isn’t what people are willing to put up with but the mere fact that they shouldn’t have to. All this is ok for a single 20-30 something if they’re down to make sacrifices for the location, but what about older folks and families? The disabled? People who just need a little more space to peruse hobbies? Not everyone is ok with sharing a bathroom with an entire floor, that’s not selfish or unreasonable.
Yeah I became partially disabled at 30 so these tiny living situations where the bed is inaccessible and a walker is a no go really aren't for long term living unless you own it outright and rely on good luck with your health let alone family. I'm still trying to figure out where the cat litter box is tho 😭
Honestly, my first apartment in Tokyo was smaller than the first place. It just had room for a twin bed and a closet (edit). Shared toilet and shower with 4 people and shared kitchen and dining. That being said, I paid nothing--my work provided the housing. I made $300US per week or $1200 per month. I also got my transportation to and from work for free, free breakfast and lunch at work, and reliably I could count on one group dinner paid by my manager a week.
is that 300 take home pay or before taxes?
@@In-The-Zone take-home!
Edit: but that didn't include health insurance which I paid out of pocket. I can't remember how much it was but somewhere between $200US and $300US.
@@lilgrannyari I suppose thats not too bad then with all those others things covered living in Tokyo. Certainly better than what most would get if they just suddenly came to the US.
@@In-The-Zone yeah! I was 20, so the financial situation definitely made up for the living situation. I was basically making the minimum wage in Japan and I might have been able to afford my own place, but I went to Japan to make money versus subsist. Some context: I had a college degree but made the same wages as my colleagues with just a high school education. I worked at an elite childcare center that catered to ex-pat families, so I think the living benefits were really meant to retain us (since at the time speaking English was a pretty in-demand skill). This was all to say that a lot of people in Tokyo live in literal coffin apartments, but the financial situation isn't as precarious as some people living in similar situations in the US.
Toledo represent! Nah, it's a car choked hell hole That I don't miss at all.
Hasan flexin on the low income new yorkers "My studio is the size of their house" GET WRECKED working class 💀😭
Tred those miles
Why do Ottomans when foldable Couch Beds have existed since late 50's to early 2000's genuinely have on in my small room I rent and barely make it a couch but near double his and if I need to it becomes a cozy couch especially with the New Teamsters raise and if I got taken off lay off . . could even get a TV of my own setup. Just Ottoman could be cozy as like a foot rest or chair for Charcuterie board and some wine among friends other then that little too snug for my liking.
That’s 100 more than what I pay here in China and I have about 8 times the space lol. And I live in a pretty big city too, 7 million people.
I grew up in NY and I can't even lie the dream is to move back, but I want to make enough money to afford to live in......... not a shoebox. Also 700 a month AND ALLOWED TO HAVE A CAT? IN NYC? that's crazy.
The more i watch this man speak in the video the more I feel really bad for him. Coping so god damn hard
NYC is my nightmare lol. Am I jealous of their transportation? Sure. But I'd be chronically overstimulated there and I'd rather sit in an empty field with nothing to do and no entertainment than ever set foot in NYC.
Damn. I pay like 800 bucks up here in Canada for an entire townhouse, with 2 roommates who pay the same. One of them has lived here since 2006, and its rent controlled so we pay a lot less than most of the people in the neighborhood. If you want to get a place downtown where I live its like 3000 dollars a month for a bachelor pad, its insane.
you pay 800 and have to share with 2 roommates though. This is still better than nothing but not having to rely on roommates would be ideal for peace of mind
Ok bro is either a rare case and content as a minimalist or he's coping a little bit lol. As far as the average person goes can they live comfortably like that? Not really.. he literally said yeah I'm comfortable I just had to sacrifice family, belongings and personal space and privacy.. it's really not for everyone. For the average person at some point you're gonna want to be able to accumulate belongings, have your own free space and the ability to have friends and family over. The fact the it limits you in almost every way in normal life. Can't have a big wardrobe or many belongings, can't have room or amenities to really have a long term or regular guest. If you wanted to have a relationship this place is less than ideal. You want at least your own bathroom if it's you and a girlfriend. You want room to cook a meal and share it with friends or family. It restricts you greatly in ability to live a normal life and have a normal amount of belongings. It's not for everyone it's a sacrifice you have to make that at times can really effect your quality of life. Technically he's not really struggling but it's only because he settled for a lot less. When you really want more independence and freedoms you need bigger living spaces. You need more private space and room to keep your belongings..
Micro living is definitely a thing now a days. Seems like his heating/electric bill must be very cheap compared to a standard 1000 square foot apartment. that seems to be a perk.
@@stoneheart_raven I'm not saying it's not common or anything. At this point it's become common because it's the only way for average person to live in those areas. And as far as the world it's very normal other countries have this as a standard. However the rest of their society is based around facilitating that lifestyle and providing the amenities they cannot within their own space. If you told the average person wanna save on your heating bill? But you can't really have anyone over, can't own very many things, can't have space to stretch out or be comfortable all the time, can't have your own bathroom.. they would probably be a lot less happy with it. Which is why I'm saying it's not for everyone and it takes a kind of person willing to sacrifice a lot of normality to make it work. Now if our society was willing to see this as a legitimate way of living and not fringe cases or temporary housing and they'd actually build infistructure to facilitate that way of living it could be for everyone or at least more universally viable. What if you just simply wanna have your family visit for dinner and cook, serve and eat at your home? 🤷🏻♂️ It wouldn't be possible it's either go out to eat and be rushed to vacate a table or you can't get together at all. If they had a common area for dining and cooking or something to help the people who live in those tiny spaces a more normal existence it would be a much more popular and accepted way of living. If they had some secure storage for people so they could have more items. Maybe someone could kive there with their spouse and child if tey had space to store things like their children toys and a table and chairs to move in and out.. if we sacrifice some living spaces for storage and public use we could consolidate housing spaces by a major amount. If these people had a common space to be able to eat together, space to exercise and space to storea reasonable amount of items to own.. it's like if we sacrifice the space of a few homes we can consolidate a hundred houses space into 5 hundred housing spaces. And the people living there would have closer to a normal life and not have to sacrifice all the little things that get people through existing. Let's be real here for the average person it sucks going to work all day then coming home to a closet with no space or ability to engage in normal pass times and at home hobbies. If you at least have access to all these normal life things having a cramped living space isn't as bad. It's just your place to sleep and be alone. The rest of the time you'd be able to use a common area. It would make your shitty home into feeling more like just a small room that's your room in a larger shared living complex. If you make it feel more like a hotel room than a prison cell it would make it viable or tolerable for the majority instead of just the minority of people who are able to be happy living such a minimalist lifestyle...
Humans don't need that much space. We burrow. If you're young and single these spaces are totally livable, you get to live in Manhattan.
Housanabi shocked that some people can't afford $3 million houses
This guy’s rent is better than I have in Lewisville, Texas 🤨
''who else can fit a bike in their apartment?''
erm....most people. shit, i could fit fifty into my bungalow, i just have the choice to keep mine in the back garden. your bike is in your apartment cuz you _have_ to keep it there cuz there's no where else to put it.
wait.......did this guy just try and turn a ''got to do it'' into a ''get to do it'' like when you tell kids they don't _have_ to go to school, they _get_ to go to school.
They have the _good_ Copium in New York huh.
How’s he saving for retirement?
An emergency fund?
He’s not
It’s weird to make fun of people that are happy with what they have like they have power to change it.
People being fed up with their living conditions is about the only way it’s ever going to change.
You can be positive about shitty things but selling the shitty thing as “pretty darn cool actually” isn’t helping anyone. Just being a poster boy for landlords and bootstrap lovers
@@Nick-cs4oc I don’t think this one guy being positive or negative is going to change anything, and landlords don’t need a poster boy they have power and thousands of years of normalization of renting.
Hasan looks like a glitching GTA character.
If i lived like this id unalive myself. Fast. Imagine living in a shoe box like a rat in NEW YORK. where the worlds richest play right infront of you and you can barely stretch your arms.
Lol ask me about living in cramped space and mental health. Spent 6 months of pandemic lockdown in a 1 room kitchen hardly the size of 100 square feet
The only issue I have with the guy is that he’s making it seem like it’s normal or ok to live like that. No one should have to live in these circumstances, if he’s ok with it’s alright but not for everyone
Meanwhile in Dublin: €1200 to share a mattress with a stranger (this is a real thing that happens)
The guy sleeps in a dog bed 😭... how the heck did he make that deal?? "Ah, don't mind bro, I don't need sleep" I thought they were going to say they would trade off every week or month... I thought they might have been a gay couple... I wanted to know why they wanted to live in "billionaire's row" in the first place, but after watching I know even less... Both are working from HOME! They aren't even there to socialize with bigwigs or daytrade?? WTF!? Dudes have broke my brain.... I mean, what do they do if they want to take a girl home? (or guy, I don't really know)
I feel like I'm watching the first act of a tragedy.
I want to see were these people are in 5 to 10 years...
I feel like living in a van would be better than this. Less shame maybe
Everything that guy saves on rent must pale in comparison to what he is spending on copium lol
Hasan liked the first one because he was a barista that did yoga.
It's a good optimization of space. Honestly with climate change and the human footprint being very high, it is unsustainable to expect everyone to live in big mansions or spacious buildings. I bet his footprint is very low and comparable to a European or better. Of course, this is not the ideal situation. A private bathroom and a separate bedroom would be preferable. But we can't expect everyone to live in big spaces. What I think we can work on is to make sure that we can find more tiny and affordable apartments, I would also expect the tiny apartments to be slightly bigger and we can improve the income-rent price ratio by increasing the unionization of the workplace when it is reasonable (I understand that some industries need to be very flexible with a quick decision-making process and unionization is not the optimal solution to improve wages but it should not be the norm everywhere). When a workplace is unionized, workers have a better bargaining power for salaries. The current situation is definitely not good and is in dire need of significant improvements, but I think that this minimalist lifestyle is definitely not a bad thing. Hasan must be a fan of the theory of historical materialism but Marx developed the idea in an era where climate change wasn't part of the intellectual conversation. Nowadays we must find new ways to improve life quality, ways that do not rely solely on materialistic well-being.
Bro how am I paying almost the same as the first guy for a studio barely bigger than his, but I live in little rock Arkansas 💀💀💀💀 wtf bro
People are gonna be living in kennels before this shit is done.
