So not only are you paying ungodly amounts for rent, car rental space. . .you also have to pay just to "enter " the business district. . .that is beyond insane!

They aren't "law enforcement" they are "revenue enforcement".

I can’t imagine owning a car in NYC. Break ins. Rats chewing wires. Absurd parking costs for owners. Traffic jams. Insane insurance costs. On top of the payment

it’s funny cause I started watching this channel just out of curiosity to see New York City Apartments, and cash does a really good job of it and I always enjoyed the channel. Am I the only one who is actually enjoying him reporting about what’s going on in the city, the conditions and the financial situations for apartment renters and owners as well as all the citizens in an around the city? I actually enjoy the news reporting more than the original tours of apartments. I think it’s a wonderful mix that he has done in the past with his travels, with his family, and now on the subjects that concern all New Yorkers, good job cash keep up the good work

A lesson I learned as a kid is the people who follow the rules suffer the worst consequences. It's a shame but here's yet another example.

As an insurance adjuster, I've seen so many situations where people file claims against other drivers using just a plate number to identify them and it ends up pointing to the wrong car/household. It's really bad!

As someone who runs the office for a plumbing company, I 100% guarantee you the customer is paying, not the plumber. This is brutal for you guys 💔

Had something similar in major cities in my country for environmental reasons. In the end truckers refused to deliver anything inside "the fart sniffer bubble" and the snobs there got pissed they couldn't get their sparkling water anymore so it got revoked after just two months.

Here's the thing to remember: laws only matter to the law abiding.

Here in the UK the cloning of number plates is a problem. There have been people in Scotland who have received fines from London. Not only have some of them never been to London, some have never even been to England.

This is one time I actually agree with those disobeying these unjust laws. These new players readers are borderline tyrannical. Kudos to them and I hope more follow suite

I moved out two years ago and didnt look back! Perfect timing. Cant wait for this to go into effect just to see how messed up this is going to be.

Wow, your video reports have gone on a higher level. So much information and search about NYC 's everyday actual life. Congratulations

They put in more cameras every year on the guise of SAFETY and SUSTAINABILITY but this is a MIDDLE CLASS TAX. Fuck everything about this. This is a situation where I have yet to find a single citizen who is in support of this change yet the government desperately running out of money is looking for ways to milk the last little bit of money from any law abiding citizen they can.

Taxing people for driving on streets is un-American. Freedom is movement is a constitutionally-protected right.

I just want to point out that the truck where the plate was under the lift gate, thats a fairly normal place to stick the license plate on those trucks. When I worked for Penske truck rental almost all the trucks had their plates mounted there. Ya i get its hard to see it for a camera, but its in full view to meet the law that states it must be visible for DOT/police. Also for the USPS van, they dont need plates, a Post Master explained that one to me. The ID number on the van (seen in the video briefly on the upper side of the left rear door) is how the post office tracks the vans and deals with registration, no need to stamp out thousands of US Government plates for the mail trucks.

Love your non real estate videos calling out the city for stupidity at its finest

NYC gov't is hell-bent on staying the course of stupidity. Good luck, it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. What's next, a $5 poop flushing fee? (Probably shouldn't give them any ideas 😉)

Sad part is people getting hit by these cars bite the bullet . Only % 5 of hit and run drivers get caught because of fake plates

I actually miss seeing apartments on this channel and what they're going for right now. Since stats "claim" NYC rents are the most stable in like 2 years, it would be great to see the great deals right now, especially in off peak season.

We have this congestion charge/ULEZ here in London, Birmingham etc, it hasn't reduced congestion, it's just increased the cost of living.

I’m a New Yorker here in Brooklyn, don’t own a car but yet the city is becoming unbearable to live in. I’m about to move into an apartment not too far from where I live but plan to leave New York as it’s becoming a difficult time to adjust my lifestyle here. I love New York City but the love for it is slowly dying.

If I was a cop in NYC, I wouldn’t even bother trying to give out tickets for people avoiding the tolls.

Keeping up with the Louis Rossman NYC saga without getting constantly shafted by the state and with a little more data than just saying "this shit is stupid and we all see it" (we didnt need stats to know the outcome of more tolls, but its nice to have them). I'm glad someone is still documenting this and I hope NYC doesn't come to attack your livelihood next.

I have never even visited New York and yet this is one of my favorite channels. You're a legend.

Our city is broken and run by people who live in fantasy land.

Paying for something that used to be free? A scam

If people haven't figured out that NYC isn't for the common man yet....they never will. A city built to be catered to the whims of millionaires and billionaires.

Just one more law that affects middle and lower class law abiding citizens. Everything is going to increase in price. Workers coming in to work on your apartment? Price raise. Restaurants price raise. Absolutely insane.

One of the biggest issues we have here in Maryland (especially "Baltimore") is folks registering their cars with VIRGINIA tags w/o any residency in that state. This is also driving up the taxes in MD when someone with said VA tags get in an accident and aren't insured, so MD has to pay the difference in damages to the other motorist(s) involved

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty - Thomas Jefferson

I used to live in Chicago land but I have never seen anything like NYC. Why would anyone want to live anywhere that is so hostile to the citizens?

the more the authorities try to charge us for bs - the more we will do it. thanks for the tip, im gonna mud mine up now!

I live in Miami and some cars have automatic shields where the drivers can press a button and bring it up and down to cover the plate to avoid express tolls on i95. Down here no one gets in trouble for anything though LOL

Cash, I legit never thought of the businesses that rely heavily on transportation. I thought the fees would only apply to cars and saw it as annoying. Now that you’ve changed my perspective, this totally blows my mind, and it’s absolute insanity to apply this congestion fee in the city. Wow 😢

shielding their license plates is NOT getting away with murder, great video

Why don’t they make exceptions for commercial vehicles since they’re actually providing an essential service? I know there would be people taking advantage, but the net gain for working class people and businesses should outweigh that.

They get exactly what they voted for when they elected the mayor and there officials to office.

A crime only punished by fines or tolls is not a crime. It's a fee for the wealthy.

When I was in England I heard about vigilantes spray painting cameras black and dismounting them. The more cameras they put up the more they get vandalized and the vandals are viewed as working man heros.

I heard that these are tolls are additional the regular tolls already in place. So Lincoln Tunnel would be like $32.00 during peak times. Brooklyn Bridge/Manhattan Bridges and maybe the Williamsburg bridge are not toll bridges. Also residents of Upper Manhattan (Above 60th street) are preparing for parking garages to increase their fees and for street parking nightmares.

How is it that you can come to the city without citizenship and have a right to housing but if you are a legitimate citizen with a job, you don’t have the right, simply drive for free into the city to get to work?!?!? Living in the Midwest I must say New York City has the most bizarre value system and it does not work!!!

I don't blame people at all for finding ways to stop from being robbed by this horrible city. The greed is out of control. I hope people wise up and abandon this city one day.

NYC had an idea to raise the price of a parking ticket in the 1980's. That idea was ditched. They keep it at an "enticing amount" so motorists take a chance at parking. They don't want to reduce volume of vehicles because they will lose money.

To answer your USPS question, no, postal vehicles are not required to have plates. They are special exempt federal fleet vehicles.

I watch this just to remind myself how crazy is to live in NY. I was offered a job in NY at the end end of the last century. Not accepting that job was the best thing I ever did. I continued to live in Midwest I have a great comfortable house with an acreage it costs a fraction of what a NY condo would cost and comes with none of the problems I would have in NY. If I moved then I probably would still be renting in NY 25 years later and not have a family.

Can’t squeeze blood from a stone…at what point do they reassess their policies that lead to the most expensive, highest taxed city in the country being broke? Seriously, how does it get this bad while the ppl just keep taking it? Insanity

Gotta admire the vehicular rebels' creativity :)

Cash wins every time! TV journalists have nothing on him. Cash is humble, to the point, he is not looking to be famous but simply educate the public. I wish we had a Cash on every major world city

Who said the government was on our side? All they care about is our money and how to get it!

Plate tampering should be treated as DUI . you can get away with murder if your vehicle can’t be identified

Loving these videos! Your editing is spot-on!

A congestion toll- what in the hell is this crap? This is insanity, a moronic form of taxation. A ballot initiative should be brought up to repel and outlaw any possibility for future use.

London did something similar, they have groups of people going around destroying and blocking the cameras.

It’s insane. The tunnel tolls are too much as it is. Guess I’ll never see my family again. They’ll have to come to me in PA.

It’s not about congestion. It’s about creating the highest tax increase in the city’s history and they are specifically only targeting lower income commuters and delivery drivers. Im not a “block the road “ protest supporter, but when the protest is related to the road, and it would deny the city the traffic revenue, it would be appropriate here.

Just another reason why I will NEVER go to NYC. Never have never will.

Lived in NYC for 20 plus years as d can tell you the only people who ever pay are the blue collar and middle class. Those who never pay and who this barely affects is the rich folk. It's always how it's been

People need to get away from this collapsing city.....

They found 5,500 "ghost" cars, they didn't catch a fraction of them. People will always get away with things like this.

the stuttering skater winning in multiple ways, speed, financially, and im sure its a great workout lol

Hearing a politician compare driving your car into New York illegally to getting away with murder says a lot about his view on the matter.

This really makes you re-think your decision if you want to move to New York, all these added cost, thanks for letting us know Cash

May as well not be illegal anymore if all those cars are coming in everyday.

It’s too expensive to live in New York at this point and people have nowhere to go smh

I think $15 is frigging insane for passenger cars. If they cared about congestion, they would regulate the uber/cab drivers that take up 50% of the road. They're the reason why people don't take the trains simply because it's more convenient. This whole thing about charging everyone is pretty stupid when they should be really focusing on tracking down illegal cars. NYC suck, Mayor Adams sucks, and MTA sucks!

They equate this with getting away with murder? How disconnected can they be?

Thank you Cash for pointing this major problem out. The only ones who suffer here are the working and middle class law abiding people who are most likely to pay the fines that add to the city’s revenue. That’s revenue supposedly used to pay for the MTA’s deficit which is made worse by turnstile jumpers and other fare evaders. NYC is not friendly to those who aren’t cheats and thieves anymore.

If NYC doesn't have tow trucks out all day every day towing every single vehicle without a license plate or with an obscured plate then it's just one more example of NYC incompetence. There's no excuse for a cop who sees a vehicle with a missing or obscured plate and not calling it in immediately.

One that you forgot was cars with bicycle carriers perfectly blocking their plate.The law says is legal only when there is a bike being transported

I just love your videos. It doesn't even matter which topic, it's always nice content!

Those tolls are just going to trickle down to the customer, product or service will just cost more to the consumer to make up for those tolls.

NYC is so screwed up, toll cameras are just another example of out of control greed.

Wondering about a reduced or exempt congestion pricing for trades and supplies vehicles.

Madness- I hate this idea, brings out the worst in everyone- but thank you Cash for reporting the truth of our beleaguered city❣️

I work in the transportation business delivering produce i was told by merchants that congestion pricing fees will be pass down to the consumer, the city is compounding the problem New Yorkers should really fight like hell to get rid of this shit

Post office trucks don't have plates but the serial number is painted on the top of the truck. In any case, federal government vehicles can't be taxed by state and local governments.

Given how cops are so overwhelmed they can’t stop shoplifting, why aren’t New Yorkers organizing, masking up, and destroying these cameras?

Watching this guys videos is quite reliving. Knowing that your city doesn’t suck as hard as NYC.

I mean this is a horrific thing. The businesses incurring these charges, they will certainly push it onto the customer because that’s how its done. So that means services, food and other things that are important that cannot take public transportation will go up. As someone who manages a small electrical business, this is how it’s done. The 10k folks evading it should be heralded as heroes.

That’s why professionals like me have flip plates….camera sees fake plates…hit a button in the comfort of my seat & when in flip it to the actual plate

How soon will New Yorkers treat these cameras like Londoners did in their city?

....AND with new cars being designed with "kill" switches, the city/state will be able to disable your car wherever it sits if you don't pay those fees (whether those fees are rightfully yours or not)!

Some of those restaurants might pack up and leave to other boroughs that don’t have congestion pricing.

I have seen tinted license plate covers in Massachusetts as well. I'm surprised that the police don't catch them. All you can see is just black. Front and back.

There should be exceptions for city services and commercial vehicles. It only needs to apply to personal vehicles. The city needs garbage trucks, mail, ambulances, fire trucks, repair vans, construction trucks, and delivery vehicles. What it doesn't need is all the personal vehicles slowing down freight and city services.

The USPS delivery fleet does not have state license plates as USPS is a federal entity. The vehicles do have an identification number. There are USPS vehicles with license plates, but they are not normally used to deliver the mail.

i've been to NY city twice a long time ago, i can't believe anybody lives there, living here in Florida is heaven compared to that hell hole.

If only New York realized these cameras were a shit idea

"The straw that broke the camels back" A saying that seems to becoming more relevant in these trying times.

Sticking it to the man, I approve! NYC is getting way too silly to live in, or drive through. Way too much power and authority over its people.

I actually don't mind seeing people break these laws. New York City has gotten really bad with nickel and diming people. That and some of the most strict and overreaching car regulations in the country

This just clears the roads for the rich folks😂😂😂 and keeps the poor from wanting to even travel into the city 😢

I have a suspended NY driver’s license that they want me to pay $375 to get it back . Only I’m from Boston and have NEVER driven in NY, when I tried to talk/email about it I got no where on getting it fixed

This will reduce the traffic for sure. But there's always a two side of the coin. Casual tourist that used to go to the "City" will now rethink where they will spend time and money. Rather than the Big Apple, areas surrounding the City will instead become of viable option instead.

As a Euopean I've tried to say the same things many times in "Not just bikes" videos... That the idealized narrative he sells only really works if you're a upper-middle or upper-class citizen. This is what's happening in many European cities: - 1. It always starts with NIMBY building policies to prevent new construction to preserve the "identity" of the city. - 2. After housing and rent prices have gone through the roof they remove public infrastructure like street parking for residents, which disproportionally affects the working class who are most likely to to need a vehicle for their job, or they work in areas with poor public transport options. The upper-middle class is most likely to work in the city centre in areas that have great public transport, or that can be easily accecable by bike, as well as being much more likely to live in new construction that has built in underground parking, or is able to afford underground parking near where they live. Or they are just straight up rich enough to own houses with garages within the city. - 3. When the working class have moved out of the city due to sky-high rent and no street parking, they gentrify the area for the rich upper middle class. - 4. The working class who were first forced out of the city now have to commute back in for work, leading to a huge increase in congestion in and out of the city. - 5. They put up toll booths on roads leading in and out of the city, disproportionally punishing those working class people who no longer could afford to live there, but still have to commute in for work. TLDR; It's cheap to be rich, and expensive to be poor.

Newyork did it to itself, adding so many businesses that cannot survive without pulling in more people than the local residences can support, then providing homeless service and rent caps for those who can't afford to live in such an expensive neighborhood. It is better to not stack humans this way without adding adequate transit lanes.

Working downtown is expensive enough already. Fuel. Parking. Insurance, etc. What a joke.

I will never understand why anyone would want to live in a major city, and why corporations are still stupid enough to have operations there.

Across the pond, London has been doing something similar for a few years now. THEY MONITOR EVERY VEHICLE THAT ENTERS THE CITY AND WHEN THEY LEAVE (Besides having cameras EVERYWHERE that the police monitor.) Big Brother is alive and well.
