New York is a great city, but its facing truly great challenges and it’s recovery and future are in doubt. Its getting harder and harder for normal people to live here, to go to restaurants, shops, and that trend is only increasing.

I spent many of my 20's and 30's almost being homeless and living with my dysfunctional family because I thought that was normal until I realized that outside of NYC I can work a retail job and afford an apartment and have more freedom. When I think of all the women I could have dated and all the fun I could have had that was flushed down the toilet because of the overpriced city it angers me. Try having a love life when you work full time, living with your crazy mother and still cant afford to treat someone to dinner (what a nightmare!). On the bright side I got out of the rat race and moved out. It's just sad how many people are still struggling like I did and wasting their valuable time. There is so much nature and beauty and opportunity outside of nyc. Places where hard work really does pay off.

I hope you're good at math and can get a job in medical, law, or engineering/programming because everything else is shipped off to 3rd world slave labor. The vid didn't wake people up, raising prices won't wake people up, and the epidemic of broken homes will keep people demoralized. Game's over. Get enough money, become self sufficient and get out of the cities.

I left NYC 20 years ago to move to Europe and looking back, that was the best decision EVER! Here in Vienna I live in a large, modern apartment (the building is only 1 year old), with ultra-efficient heat pump floor heating, for less than $700 a month. My heating bill last winter was about $7 a month thanks to the heat pump. I could NEVER afford an apartment like this in Manhattan, and lately I've been hearing that you have to earn FORTY TIMES your rent just to get a lease. That's INSANE!! I really pity my friends back home. Here in Vienna I have universal health care, 5 weeks of paid vacation, unlimited sick leave, unlimited unemployment benefits, I can even take a sabbatical year off from work - with FULL PAY. For the life of me, I can't imagine what they'd have to pay to get me to go back and live in NY!

@@stevierichiemoeller Where did you hear that? You'd have to earn A LOT of money (> 100k) in order to pay US taxes if you're living abroad. Furthermore, the US has tax treaties with many countries to avoid double taxation. Tip: You won't be earning half as much in Europe as you do in the US, however you don't need to earn as much in Europe to have a higher standard of living than in the US. For example the average monthly salary here in Austria is only $1,500 to $2000 after taxes, however that's enough to give you a comfy lifestyle plus you get your minimum 5 weeks vacation, universal health insurance, unlimited unemployment benefits, retirement, accident insurance, etc. You'd need to earn at least twice as much to get similar benefits in the US. As a general rule things are smaller, simpler and more modest in Europe, but that often means life is also less complicated. Your apartment/house will be smaller, your car will be smaller, you'll probably also eat less but you won't be paying half as much for things like insurance. You'll also consume a lot less and your life in general will be far more simplified. For example, because you have a smaller fridge, you end up going to the supermarket every 2 or 3 days. But that means your meals are a lot fresher and that you have to spend a lot more time preparing them, which means you eat more healthy foods but less junk foods. Back in NY I only went to the supermarket once a week, which meant a lot of TV dinners and ready to eat meals with lots of chemicals, etc. I've advised all my friends back home to move to Europe if they can. Two of them have moved to Germany so far and they're loving it. One of them got really sick not too long ago and actually needed a kidney transplant. After experiencing European socialized medicine he was so impressed that he decided to make Germany his permanent home. He couldn't believe the high level and quality of care he got in Germany, and he didn't have to pay a dime for anything. You'd have to have very expensive private insurance to get similar care back in the US. For anyone thinking of moving to Europe, I've heard really good things about Portugal lately. Their government even has a special resident permit just for American ex-pats which greatly simplifies the process of moving to Portugal. They also give you a bunch of tax breaks and incentives to stay in Portugal. So far, a lot of Americans are loving it there.

You're the first person to complain about moving to the suburbs. The cities are too hustle and bustle. Everyone is in a rush as if that office job will disappear if they arrive at 9:05 AM or if they do it remotely. What defines NYC isn't the office towers with wasteful space, that was made obsolete by modern technology. It's the theater scene, the parks, the concert halls, sports arenas, convention halls, and whatnot. It's the culture that draws people in and why rents are increasing again. Always love going to NYC for Central Park. Have been checking other city region parks out beyond what I have on Long Island. I like how vibrant Central Park is year round the most though. It's never dull or drab, full of life, and very safe.

In the late 70's I was working in market research and hopped over to NYC by bus for an interview with a major ad agency on 1st Avenue. I lived in a suburb in Jersey 7 miles from the Lincoln Tunnel. It took me 1.5 hours to get there ...and the same time to get back. Figuring the commuting costs, tough trip, and the fact I would have had to take a pay cut for the honor of being crammed into a tiny office high in the sky, I decided it wasn't worth it and declined the job. That was my last attempt at working in the city.

You have really captured well the post-apocalyptic feel of 2022 NYC. I worked for years right near the office building on Third Ave that you showed. Amazing how desolate it has become. I work remotely now like everyone else but I do miss the social aspects of office life. One or two days a week would be plenty. They really should start converting some of those office buildings into apartments, that really seems like it would solve some issues.

I owned a small bakery in midtown for over a decade. I had planned on basically retiring in the city. Right before I extended another long-term lease, covid and lock downs came. Since we were situated at the bottom of an office building, 90% of our customer base was built in. Even on a Monday morning, we met our sales goal by 8:30 am. I wasn't "rich" but had an awesome rent controlled apartment around the corner on 9th Ave in the heart of Hells Kitchen and money to live a bit of the lifestyle. I worked most of the time, but I loved what I was doing. I had friends and family staying all the time. It was nice they could walk around Times Square, Theater District at all hours of the night. I was part of the neighborhood & the community and met some of the kindest, most interesting, lovable people ever. I will always have mixed reactions to the lockdowns. It all was handled horribly. The need to keep people healthy and safe had to balance with allowing employment and businesses to survive. Politics and greed ruined it all. I tried to keep going for almost 2 years. I finally had to shut down for good. When I say it ruined my life, that is an understatement. Both my folks were diagnosed with cancer, so I moved back to PA to help them. There was no work in the city for an unemployed bakery owner anyway. I am slowly starting over, opening something here local. My parents are doing well and so far so good. Every now and again, I look at some NYC videos and remember my fabulous, humble, never a dull moment life in the city. I miss it dearly. The multicultural atmosphere, languages, food, people, it's like no place in the world. Thanks for making this video. It allows me to sleep a little better knowing I did the right thing. Regardless, I had no choice. Lol. I will visit some day, but I know I will be too told to ever start over there again. Enjoying time with my family convinces me all is good with the world, though. I just wish I could hear a little Spanish at the market, or order Thai food at 4am, or volunteer for the woman's shelter on the block, cooking lunch for my employees, or making cakes for Broadway shows. Take care, NYC.

When I was a teenager in the 80s and would go into NYC from the island, it was considered expensive to live and eat there, too. The crime was very high - my parents hated when we would ask to take the train in on a weekend day to shop in the village. I remember my mom would give us cab money, because she did not want us down in the subway, at all. Also, back then, the city didn't look as clean and gentrified as it does now. The subways there now look beautiful and modern - back in the 80s they were dirty and graffiti all over the place. I think the goal since the late 80s has been to run everyone out who doesn't make a lot of money so it is just for the upper class and above. The only thing I don't know is who will work at all the service jobs. We live in scary/interesting times.

This is creating the explosion of millions of homeless Americans across America. Black Rock, Zillow, Vanguard, Black Stone are also buying up American farmlands and reselling the farms to GMO food corporations and or to countries like China. Black Rock, Zillow, Vanguard, Black Stone are all behind the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization and it's top advisor to the World Economic Forum is doctor Yuval Noah Harari from Israel who in his speeches has said that humans are HACKABLE ANIMALS. Harari went on to further say " free will is over " and went on to say at the World Economic Forum meetings and in interviews that " humans will belong to a new regime collective of surveillance taken from under your skin, look it up these videos will shock you. Don't give these monster your money to empower them to destroy your very being, way of life and take away your freedoms and your free will to control you so you do as they say, " YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY EATING BUGS and pay ASTRONOMICAL HIGH RENTS never able to save to buy your own home, mean while they the " CHOSEN ONES " are living in huge mansions eating steaks and flying in privet jets and owning farms to eat organic vegetables while they are destroying your food sources right now to starve you to eat bugs that are not really good for you look up chitin and gluten in bugs.

I hope NY can adjust. It’s terrible that native New Yorkers are being priced out of their homes. I have to say, though, that on a recent trip with my daughter, we noticed the streets and (most of) the subway stairwells were surprisingly clean. The mood was happy. We had zero bad experiences using the metro, but I did notice that most riders were between the ages of 20 and 40. I was on the old side, and my daughter on the young side. More often than not, people would offer us their seats and allow us to exit first. Much more pleasant than my experiences on trains in Chicago, Washington D.C, and Paris.

This was all done on purpose. Make any future decisions on where to live and how to vote with that understanding. Also, I used to live in NYC, and my hair dresser was on the 3d floor above Ess-A-Bagel (I see here that that floor is boarded up now). The place is truly nothing special by NY standards, where you can get a killer bagel from any deli or street vendor. Lining up around the block for a bagel on 3d Avenue in New York City is like lining up to get a NY style pizza when you're already in NY. The lemming is strong with these people.

I miss NYC but I never liked how hard it is to live comfortably there, no matter how hard you work. Essential workers are a perfect example. They keep NYC running (especially when NYC was the epicenter of coronavirus) and it seems like they're always getting the short end of the stick. They work so hard just to be able to make rent and feed their families and do it all over again everyday. Just to be told they don't make enough to live in a nicer (and in some cases safer) neighborhood. I mean, everyone's different..some people are living comfortably in NYC and they deserve it 100%. But I wish that the city would make housing more accessible and affordable for the..99%

I moved to NYC in 1999 at the age of 24 - visited then for the first time as an adult. The streets of NYC had a huge impression on me. The excitement, the people, the raw life. It was the best time of my life for probably 8 years... After being away for almost a decade, I moved back to NYC in my early 40s in 2016. The city had changed as had I. Enduring the covid pandemic there put me over the edge. New Yorkers are not the people they used to be. They've lost their grit, their purpose. The city is a hollow, filthy remnant of what it was in the 90s. I feel privileged to have been a part of the true NYC as a young guy. I left NYC last year. I miss the old NYC but today's NYC - whiny millennials, crime, $6 lattes, The Highline, Progressivism gone mad - it can all rot in hell for all I care. Life is sad.

This is creating the explosion of millions of homeless Americans across America. Black Rock, Zillow, Vanguard, Black Stone are also buying up American farmlands and reselling the farms to GMO food corporations and or to countries like China. Black Rock, Zillow, Vanguard, Black Stone are all behind the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization and it's top advisor to the World Economic Forum is doctor Yuval Noah Harari from Israel who in his speeches has said that humans are HACKABLE ANIMALS. Harari went on to further say " free will is over " and went on to say at the World Economic Forum meetings and in interviews that " humans will belong to a new regime collective of surveillance taken from under your skin, look it up these videos will shock you. Don't give these monster your money to empower them to destroy your very being, way of life and take away your freedoms and your free will to control you so you do as they say, " YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY EATING BUGS and pay ASTRONOMICAL HIGH RENTS never able to save to buy your own home, mean while they the " CHOSEN ONES " are living in huge mansions eating steaks and flying in privet jets and owning farms to eat organic vegetables while they are destroying your food sources right now to starve you to eat bugs that are not really good for you look up chitin and gluten in bugs. The Agenda of the chosen ones is to take all important assets for their greedy selves of the planet while the others can go to hell.

Same kind of stuff is happening in my nearby San Francisco. Almost all those companies either are remote full time or have just failed to even try to get their employees back since jobs are plentiful in the industry. SF (and almost all major metro areas) was not designed to not have people showing up for work every day. The downtown was pretty big during the work week and most weekends but it’s basically dead now because all the people who worked there have no reason to go. It’s why our regional transit system, BART, is down riders so much. Most of them were commuters who just don’t have a commute anymore. Combine that with leaders who don’t care and you leave the city to either people who’ve lived their for decades and are very wealthy, techies in very private areas with houses worth tens of millions, and homeless drug users who literally shit on the sidewalk. Something’s gotta change. Maybe convert most of the office space into apartments. SF can’t build anything new, there’s no room to. Same with Manhattan or any other city that doesn’t have the ability to create urban sprawl.

As someone from Chicago and who went to school in London and so have been an urbanite my whole life, I feel so much of the hype around NYC is from people from small towns in the US who have never lived or even been to a major world city and feel impressed by all the culture and people that is part of every major city and aren't aware that the quality of life in London, Paris, Berlin, Chicago, LA, SF, etc. is much, much higher, with most of those places costing much less. The friends I have who live in nice, centrally located neighborhoods of Chicago and London would have to live in the outskirts of Brooklyn and Queens for the same rent in NYC. And I hate to break it to New Yorkers, but every major city in the world has theaters and opera houses and museums and ethnic restaurants and parks and bookstores and music venues, and all the other things that people think make NYC unique. I admit that NYC does have a certain unique buzz sheerly due to the density, diversity, and hype, but people have to realize whatever cultural advantage New York had over the rest of the world from 1945-1990 just doesn't exist In the same way anymore.

Theatre (Broadway, Off-Broadway, etc. - and the mix of commercial and non-profit) is one of the most unique things about NYC that attracts so many people. It's simply not the same is places like Paris, Berlin, Chicago, LA, or SF. Those places aren't theatre destinations. Regardless of the problems NY has...I couldn't fathom living someplace else like Paris or LA and NOT having access to this level and amount of theatre.

But you can't live in _Paris intra muros_ or you have to accept to live in a rabbit cage so most of us go to the suburbs. Paris has only 2 100 000 people (with an important density, it's like Mannathan) but if you count Hauts-de-Seine , Seine-Saint-Denis, Val de Marne and other suburbs (Argenteuil, Versailles , Cergy , Massy , Torcy , Évry...) it goes to 10 000 000 people.

Ok, YES you own a TESLA and have your groceries electronically delivered, and you have a tricked-out condo and go to see the latest cultural offerings, yet you DON'T send your kids to the local school because it's "crap", and there's schools that can't teach the children to read AND write at a certain level.

This will only stop when more and more people just stop renting. Either they'll pool resources with friends and buy, move back in with family, or go homeless--hopefully "nomad" style, where they at least have a liveable vehicle, remote income and a network of friends. When so many people have gone these alternative routes that apartments sit empty for months with no takers, landlords will be forced, as they were during COVID, to live in the real world and restrain their greed. This is already happening in other areas, not sure how long it'll take with NYC as its reputation as an incredible place to socialize, network and enjoy entertainment keeps potential tenants interested. It puts a burden on employers to pay very high wages to get the good employee prospects, though. We'll see.

I reside in the Pacific Northwest area just outside of Seattle, and in my area, rents have tripled, not to mention Seattle, Tacoma and everywhere in between. Gentrification is real. It affects anyone and everyone, if you are low income or a person of color. So all the people that are working the so-called low paying and minimum wage jobs can't afford a place to live and so they are being pushed out, and then you wonder why all the so-called low-income jobs are looking for people to work for them.... Think about it, the people that need/want to work at the low income jobs like fast food restaurants and what not, they cannot afford the commute, or waste their time on that to do all that. So these people are moving to areas that they can "barely" afford to live in and is going to work in that community. -MMG.

If NYC is going to survive it needs to drastically make housing affordable to match the wages in the area. I don't see it surviving if it becomes just a place for tourists or the ultra wealthy. After all you need housing for those that are working in the restaurants, motels, etc.

I always thought living in NYC would be interesting. But the more I looked into it, the more I realized it would not be the life I wanted. I would have had to work all the time just to continue to live there, the displeasure with which would have offset the pleasure of being in the city. I might have made such a trade for Paris or London had the chance come up, but I didn't want to live in NYC that badly.

The sad thing is this expands beyond the city. Even the outer reaches of Brooklyn are insane. My family was priced out around 2017. Rent for a three bedroom went from $1700 to $2300. The landlord could not even find stable tenants for what was in the neighborhood. Some of the places we used to order food from went from $35-40 to close to $70-90 for take-out. Everything feels so much more hostile too. I love city living, being able to walk or take public to places, yet it is so draining financially and mentally.

What landlords face with commercial and real estate loans is if they reduce the rent to what people can afford, the bank will call in the loan and ask the landlord to pay the difference in cash. Everyone knows the true value isn’t the inflated value but no one wants to take a hit on their loan if they want to attract paying tenants. So the buildings stay empty and landlords and the bank collect money on the interest instead. Louis Rossmann has done videos about it. For that reason, nothing is going to change because the landlords would lose money and the banks would be stuck with non performing loans on the books.

When she moved to Minnesota (in the 1980's) she let my sister have the place, where she lived for several years before management discovered that she wasn't on the lease and kicked her out. I remember visiting the apartment several times, it was pretty small, but the controlled rent for the entire period since our aunt originally leased the place in the 1950's was only around $300/ mo.

I moved there in 1987 during the end of the Koch era when NYC was still wild and untamed. I watched it slowly transform into the most amazing place during it's renaissance up until 9/11. This makes me very sad but grateful that I experienced this magical place at it's heyday. I was taught to have street smarts/awareness and to use common sense and to follow certain rules ALWAYS - I rarely felt afraid or unsafe and I was all over Manhattan from one end to the other, in all kinds of neighborhoods, on foot by cab or subway (which I used nearly everyday). The vibrancy and everyday energy and exuberance seems to have fallen by the wayside and it seems to be slowly shuffling and slogging into cliche and mediocrity. Breaks my heart really.

@@jamiegrayson3739 bc people love nyc. All the people who complain, go somewhere else and see it’s shit there and come back. Yes, nyc has problems. Find me a place that doesn’t. Crime is up EVERYWHERE. Hell nyc doesn’t even hit the top 15 list for crime. Yes, crime is up but to act like it’s not the case everywhere is just stupid.

@@yourfavpersuasion9385 Really? Because I can find plenty of places in Miami, LA, Chicago, and even hidden places in PA like West Chester where rents are the same as NYC, in same cases more. Miami is the most expensive rental market in this entire country right now.

To be honest, I live in a big metropolitan city in Texas and yes, things can be cheaper here, but a typical meal in a restaurant is going to cost you $20 before tip without a drink or an appetizer. Also add-ons are $2-$10. In addition, if you’re going to a coffee shop and want a food item and your coffee has alternative milk, yeah you’re paying $12-$16 before tip and before tax. It always blows my mind when I travel to “expensive cities” because to be frank, a lot of them are actually cheaper or on-par with where I live… and Texas is supposed to be “so cheap.” That’s considering our average rent here is between $1250-$1550 but if you want to live in a nice building in a safe part of town, it’s $1600+ for studio/1bedroom.

Voted for MORE CRIME and HIGHER COSTS. Once my lease is over, I'm out of here.

I got lucky I found a rent controlled apartment in Queens, but my commute to work now is ridiculous and the trains just seem to keep getting worse and worse, constant delays and signal issues or trains just stopping in the middle of tunnels for what feels like eternity, and that's not even mentioning the crime. I love my neighborhood in Queens but its getting harder and harder to justify staying in the city.

the LIRR in bayside is horrible now. at least 3 times a week I'm stuck on the tracks for 15-20 minutes because of some signal issue or police activity. same with the subways. constant delays, service changes, stopping in the tunnel for 20 minutes, etc

Thanks Jordan for being honest. I've seen 4 coops go up for sale in my building in the past 6-8 months. Executives who want employees to return to the office that executive should be the first one in that office

Simple and easy way to repurpose those office buildings....do what Korea does, turn them into apartments. They're called officetels. Building owners makes passive income from monthly rentals and prices of apartments can go down as there would be ample apartments to rent at more affordable prices. People that left NYC will end up coming back.

Meanwhile influencers are trying to move to New York so that they can show off living there. I guess they don't have to commute to work by subway.

Dude, this is pretty scary. Reminds me of the videos I have watched about San Francisco. Some of the Silicon Valley companies started to shift to SF, and turned SF from a really expensive city to a REALLY expensive city, and now people who have lived in the area their whole lives can't afford housing and are living in campers and cars and tents because a studio apartment is going for over 5K a month. Pull up a few videos...it's frightening. And the normal homeless drug addicts are now sprawled out on the sidewalks. Scary stuff.
