NYC residents WILL NOT change their voting habits. They will vote every single politician back into office and continue crying about how bad it is.
Woke is a mental illness and one that can't be self diagnosed...
That’s why I laugh when I see them complain. They deserve every illegal immigrant they have
Problem is the vast majority of New Yorkers do not vote. I know people who have never voted in their entire life and were born and raised in NYC
Bc republicans don’t have the answer either. They just want more police without addressing the root cause. What we need is these migrants contributing to the economy (which many can and want to do) but our system isn’t helping that
These corrupt politicians basically run unopposed. Not all of NYC is blue. In fact a large part of it isn't. Especially in the outer boroughs.
asylum is for people that flee persecution not if you flee poverty.
It's really hard to tell if the people are persecuted or just trying to escape poverty.
Get off your high horse. The US was built by people fleeing poverty.
Thank you! 30 or 60 days of shelter, clothing and food is a gift. Go home with contacts you made, learn the language and try again with subsidizing by individuals or churchs (like the church paying the bails of those who fought the police)
Amen to that.
Yes, and lots of people coming from the Mexican border are fleeing extreme violence, which is a form of persecution
I lived in NYC for 17 years, and left in 2009. One of the best moves I’ve ever made!
I hated it there, most overrated place ive ever been, i changed my flight to leave early i couldn't wait to leave
Please elaborate?
Morale there must be all time high. Is it a Soros thingy?
@@gorpim no you didn't.

Where did you move to? Would you recommend it?
(Just curious - I'm planning on moving from the northeast to Colorado or Montana myself).
New York City now has literally become Gotham City.

they turned it into Gotham city.
I hope you did not vote for this. If you did, you should remain and be true to your politics.
@@xxxxxxxxx3944 I don't vote nor do I live in NYC

My lease expired in 2021 and my gut told me to get the hell out of NYC. I was working from home anyway and it was the best decision ever.

Woo hoo 🎉 good for you 👏🏽👏🏽 . Been looking for work from home for the longest and can’t find anything suitable.
It's crazy. Point of information: Poverty is not a legitimate reason for asylum. It's meant for people fleeing oppressive government or fear of death or persecution.
It's crazy how you think those things are all mutually exclusive.
And they are supposed to stop in the next neutral safe territory not cross thousands of miles for the free handouts. They are being brought here, there is no persecution going on over there.
Such as Haitains but they are being returned. 🤔
Poverty causes starvation which causes death..... still not a reason to come here. They on the streets right refusing free food.
@@chiomanwadike2450 Yea sure they are. They have already disappeared and are protected by the alphabet head social marxists because: raysizzum.
I was born and raised in NYC; lived there until I was 37. It used to be the best city in the world, and I couldn't imagine living anyplace else. Now every day I thank the Lord for getting me out of there!

What looks like chaos is actually part of a bigger plan.
Ask yourself: who benefits from this? Who gets more power, more money, from this chaos?
There's who's responsible.
NYC is getting exactly what they voted for. I see no issues
The same people putting gun and pawnshops on the corners of inner cities have their sights on the city as a whole
I seen the problem crawling out of the sidewalk
And it's all 100% intentional
Exactly. Whom does the Grail serve??

He's not a news reporter, he's just a reporter.
He IS the media!! Lol
I agree with the guy in this video who questioned the whereabouts of the National Guard. Law enforcement needs to be on the platforms and the trains, not at the entrances checking bags!
As more people who can't afford to live in the city move to outer boroughs, rent in those areas will go up. Jersey City, Hoboken, Secaucus and other close to New York cities are experiencing skyrocketing rents.
I worked as a plumber in NYC for many years. Most of the building conversions will require plumbers for bathrooms, kitchens, gas pipes, heating, and laundry. Let me tell you, many people do not want to pay reasonably for the work required. Born in raised in NYC, I married 3 years ago and moved to be with my wife in Europe, I do not regret it a single day.
...quitter
Word has it that your friends don’t regret it either…
Disorder is worth moving from. I live inland from a major city in Cali. Currently, my area is not disordered. We still have police and prosecutors to make crime unwelcome. Having a big crime magnet nearby helps keep our area “normal”. Enjoy Europe!
I hope you're in Eastern Europe bc every city in Western Europe is being washed out by doctors and engineers from the East and South
I am from Staten Island, and I lived in Europe for a year... both in Rome, IT & Utrecht, NL, I can see why you moved to Europe. Thankfully Staten Island is still conservatives but it's slowly losing what makes it unique to the rest of the 5 boroughs
Not just New York mate. London, Birmingham, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm. It is almost as if it was deliberate...
almost?
Australia too. We have a housing crisis and they just let 5 million people in. We can’t even house all the people currently here.

I live here in NYC and even I didnt know how bad the squatting situation was. Crazy stories from parts of Queens and the Bronx
Born and raised in NYC. Lived in Hells Kitchen, Upper Westside, East Village and the LES. The city been driving out the middle class for the last two decades. It’s not just high rents, high groceries, furniture, household items, eating out, bars, movies, taxes and general entertainment. Nothing is reasonably priced in the city. The quality of life in NYC sucks. It’s part of larger plan to keep the city for the ultra rich. With migrants providing all the services.
It started in the early 1900s when the Wall Street financiers didn't like the fact that there were factories so close to their "gilded street."
I remember they wouldn't even let Wal-Mart in. While it is the lowest of lows it's no different then Pier 1 Imports or "Tarjay" as the elite call it. Buying rotten spray painted fruit at a bodega doesn't make you cooler then me buying rotten spray painted food at walmart. It's still labeled as an "orange'.
If you’re a brokey then you won’t enjoy here
Sounds like a depressing sci-fi movie. So sorry to realize this is our reality. Surely there is something the people can do!
@@Drak976Walmart has destroyed countless numbers of mom and pop shops.
As somebody who grew up here in the 70s and who has paid my dues currently working as a transit worker I can confidently state that NYC is an overcrowded hyper expensive polychromatic Uber ghetto.
Which year was best in New York
@dkeithtag I remember seeing all the pics, films, and vids of NYC in the 70s, especially ones of the South Bronx and Harlem. This guy and other Millennials and Gen Zs could not have experienced the gritty, dirty, edgy NYC of 70s and 80s. It looks like the city is going back to that era but with a much bigger population. What's your opinion?

Excellent vocabulary for a transit worker...I congratulate you sir. I found I too was able to grasp the Queen's English even as a lowly Sheetmetal Worker

As an American, born and raised, I really hope NYC finds it way. It has been around for a really long time
Growing pains and the rise of social media, so this information is more readily available compared to the past. 80s and 90s NYC were iconic and full of culture but also a complete hellhole. It’s just mismanaged right now comparatively speaking.
As a European it's barely been around in a historical blink of an eye, and frankly if its collapse serves the world at large it's a sacrifice worth making. New Yorkers have essentially completely destroyed their own heritage and human dignity anyway. Absolute putrid cesspit of humanity.
@@bigoofinthechat5496🎯
Most of these issues come from the politicians that these people elect. They made their bed and they need to sleep in it.
@@Jeqavy_Wavy what a helpful comment. I hope you didn't hurt yourself
I left NYC in 2017 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The city started crumbling starting in 2014 and it's become a city I don't even recognize when I visit. It's tragic.
What a shame. There are a lot of great things about it or maybe I should say that "there were"? We've got to turn the tide, there's no reason that we should give up all of our cities. People need to look higher up the food chain at who tells these crooked ass politicians what to do, that creates all of this chaos.
de blasio, adams
It's good that you left when you are still young.
Makes ZERO sense to be escaping poverty and move to the most expensive city in the USA.
It does with the city providing free lodging+
It's because the Governor of Texas has been illegally shipping immigrants into the United States, don't let the media keep quiet about it
Nailed it.
Its the same here in germany. Most refugees go to the biggest and most expensive citys like Berlin, Frankfurt or Hamburg. If you dont have to pay for the housing where would u go?
The Red Cross sends them there. They put them on buses after the Darian jungle from Panama & eventually here. USA would have to back out if UN asylum seeker policy (created from Jewish refugees back in WW2)
"You have to be rich to live as if you weren't". Great quote.

I had a Great Uncle named Charlie. (I will with hold his last name for privacy) My Aunts told me this story about him: He was known as “Charlie the Bum” because he wore a bunch of big old clothes and wandered around a certain area in downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut all day . He did not drink. Meanwhile he had a big beautiful home in Fairfield , Connecticut, a wife and over a million in the bank. That was a huge amount of money in those days (which was the sixties). The Aunts never told me how he came to amass such a sum so it will remain a mystery, as will why he chose to live that lifestyle. I met him once or twice and visited the house. Strange.

You are a gifted story teller, video editor and photographer. Thanks for your work.
As a new yorker, state not city, I learn more from a 10 minute video from you than i do from hours of main stream media reporting. Thanks for doing an amazing job!
I’m a 37 year old male that works 40+ a week and I cannot afford to live on my own. Living in NYC is a dystopian nightmare.
You get what you deserve for living there lol
it depends on where you live - some places are much more affordable
@@Alex-fx5es Not anymore.
I would say to move to California but all the illegals already have taken up the affordable housing here. Seems they are doing the same there now. What a shame.
Fucking Bronx 2k plus on rent . Wtf ??? Chance to be rob daily and I can’t afford it?? Insane..
Cash, get your family out of there.
Agree he should move out of that shithole state
Just don't move to somewhere like TN or SC, they are already full. Move to upstate or Western NY.
💯
Cash is still part of the issue - He still believes "asylum seekers" have a right to come to the US and NYC for better economic opportunity.
this guys whole channel depends on this issue, why would he want to leave?
It's great to hear a New Yorker speak the truths, it sucks the city is turning back into something rough around the edges. I would have loved to come visit but for those reasons exactly we won't.
It's been awhile since I've came across your videos & had no clue you leaned this way. Good for you to speak up!
I lived in NYC back in 1998 in 2001 I found a beautiful studio in Sunnyside Queens for 775 a month. Imagine those days😢
I was born In Brooklyn. Moved away 21 years ago. I was there last weekend and was stunned. A neighborhood where hardworking families could live is slowly being taken over for unattainable housing for most. The location wasn't worth the cost for me decades ago. I can't imagine how everyday folk are faring. It's sad.
Brooklyn had been gentrifying a lot. It’s NYCs most gentrified borough
Lmao i was born raised and lived here for 23 years and im actively trying to find an apartment in other states its not worth living here. the moneys great but the state became a way bigger cash grab state and the money you make here instantly goes into living expenses, dumb parking tickets, or light cameras for going 35 mph that pretty much yoink your paycheck, theres no room for financial error here at all. and to add insult to injury the state knows its people are DROWNING but our politicians are more worried about bringing in immigrants illegally, housing them, then giving them the money the citizens of ny could've used to help with the expensive life here. all in all its a crap state with selfish leaders right now
I've lived in Brooklyn all my life and I'm getting the hell out of NYC & eventually out of the USA.
Oh that’s been YEARS in the making. My family lived there back in the day and my parents moved us to Florida after that. I visit NYC as a tourist and when I mention Downtown Brooklyn, South Street Seaport and some other areas that used to be affordable, my dad still thinks it’s like it was in the 80s and 90s. He has NO idea what it actually is today!
@@PBlitzz If you can, I recommend the Great Lakes area. I moved here from California because it was just too expensive. Yes, I had to trade good weather for cold, but it's fine. You have already dealt with that.
You know when even Jordan feels hopeless, it's really serious.
💯
Jordan is trying to become something else than his failed real estate career. He wants to be the next Louis Rossmann and will literally be the cuck of a real estate deal if he can post it here (when was the last rental/property entrusted to him that he showed off?)
If he he feels hopeless, he should move...but he won't, because this is where the views are for people who only search out "NYC bad" and never actually go there. You just want confirmation bias.
@@aysuppatruck6185I was thinking this same thing, not sure why he’s living here when his last like 50 videos have been about how NYC is going down lol

It is sad what has happened to this great city, epitomized by Sinatra.Many years of great experiences there. Hope it can be saved.
it has the entire world to help it figure itself out. We can do it, right?
Now it's epitomize by a real life soundtrack of Escape from New York but worst leading to a WW 3 Stephen King adaptation novel scenario.
this video was so good b/c it was fact based, thoroughly researched & detail oriented. the title was virtually the same as one you posted 4 yrs ago, or probably you've posted many like this, come to think of it, but you provide the meat so that makes these videos extremely good to watch . . .
I had a supplier to my printing business (in California) about 30 years ago. He moved his business from New York to Florida because he said New York was becoming impossible for small business to exist. He was correct 30 years ago . . .
Yes!
Dude is probably killing it in Florida right now. Made a smart business move but I thought Florida was racist and NY loved and welcomed everyone. Reality check ya fools
and now Florida is also f**ked.
crazy how you guys genuinly eat these video up like cereal 💀💀like theres only so many videos one can make titled "nyc is finished" before you chumps start to realize hey maybe the biggest city in america actually isnt finished and will exist for as long as humanity exist
@@bluebird1954Say this out loud “Hey Siri how many cities have fallen throughout human civilization”
I’m from FL and they keep extending the highway with lanes because of Democrat politicians in NYC. The biggest city only means it’s screwing all of us.
In California we call it the "homeless industrial complex.". There are a bunch of so called non-profits, corporations, and other connected croneys that profit mightily from the crisis. It's all about the skim, it puts 60s Vegas and no bid pentagon contracts to shame.
Homelessness is a six figure job
do you have any proof that these things actually profit despite there being no records to say that, or are you just making shit up. people are homeless in your state because nimbys dont allow for affordable housing to exist, and because your state is packed full of actual corporations who campaign for their interests, not because non profits try to do what limited they can to help the homeless.
If its the cartels trafficking people, they're a criminal organization involved in organized criminal activity. If its an NGO involved in the same, its "legit". What complete b.s., crime is the activity, not the name of the group involved in it.
Yet both states keep voting for it.
California sucks😅😂
You got what you voted for- enjoy it ! The billboard shown @ 3:53 IS PERFECT, says it all !

Yep, it seems that's a big part of it. Look up the Kalergi Plan. Either way, it seems that the people that are really in charge, want to destroy the middle class and families and any traditional culture. They're creating a dystopian hell hole in every major city in the Western World.

The news really isn't the issue, it's more down to what sort of news one consumes
@ cinnamon girl This is a really good point ... being out and around in the city doing apartments for years he saw what is happening in NYC. People in these comments are making it sound like he moved into social commentary because of it being more marketable, but actually he was already making little comments about the state of things when he was doing apartment videos.
Western corporate and government MSM is woke globalist propaganda, and either downplays, ignores, or suppresses information that challenges the woke globalist NWO agenda.

It's been interesting to watch your evolution from the "apartment tour guy" to broadcasting insightful, hard hitting content. Your videos are insightful but always fair and objective. Keep it up. You're doing a great service to the people who love NYC!
That happens when you become a father. Future generations will never understand
What are you on. Cash IS the problem. Did you watch his video yesterday. He kept referring to people who can do basic math as “the opposition” and “critics”.
He is just a person who likes to listen to himself and get money for it.
he constantly called them asylum seekers when all the top replies corrected him.. they are coming here to reap what they did not sew.. proven every hour, its undeniable joe fans.. stop living in denial
Bruce, you are correct.
Not objective. Very subjective. And I'd be wary of some of the things he says, seems he's too far online to actually see the data. He literally said we didn't have crime problems before until we started voting in progressive mayors. That's verifiably untrue. The data of the 90s crime stats are much higher than today, so it's wild that he's putting this misinformation out there

Even in the gritty 80's and 90's was better than now, before all the fancy gentrification.
First went to NYC in the late 90s and it was a cool place. Some ppl then said it had gotten too sterile and corporate which was probably true compared to the 70s and 80s. However, there were still real new yorkers living there. Working class people and families. There were small businesses everywhere and interesting things to do and see. Went back last year and holy hell...talk about sterile now! So much is closed down. Neighborhoods dont feel alive anymore. That's generally what happens when you remove the salt of the earth people from a city and investors buy everything up.

People were saying the same shit 30-40 years ago and then things changed. Life is a like a circle, there are ups & there are downs. Every time people want to count NYC as being “over”, something comes and turns that fortune around. Things are not the greatest here but it’s not the worst, things will get better. It could be sooner, it could be later but it will improve. NYC always bounces back. We’ve done it many many times before & we’ll do it again. You’ll see.

The problem is that the politicians who pushed for these changes are not admitting that the changes have caused these problems. They keep trying to blame business for not giving away their products and services for free.

mate, all his videos are "It begins..." and then some AI thumbnail of made up events.
Its pure rageslop.
Bro he uses ai thumbnails… names every video the same thing… and only makes videos on politics…
He’s literally not transparent at ALL
LOL did you popular medias?
Only in America, that people still believe their corporate medias.
To Americans, NYC is like California, we've heard so many awesome reasons to go visit but when we go there we're disappointed and left wondering why would anyone would want to live there.
Escape from NY.
Most Americans agree with you.
"To Americans, NYC is like California." No, NYC is by default more popular and well known than Cali, even to Americans. What a dumb comparison.
@@anonomyssI think you missed the point.
California, even with increased immigration and all of the negatives which accompany it, is 1,000 times better than NYC in every way.
No comparison.
I lived in one and visited the other many times growing up. The similarity today is how dysfunctional these places are. That is what one party rule gives you over a few decades. And that is what that one party is planning for the whole country.
It was an awesome life I lived there for 30 years and I left 2 years ago ! Thank you nyc you were amazing and I learned so much , but I’m back home in South America for 2 years and for good
Atlanta and Dallas,, are replacing NYC ! New York voted for what's happening!
Couple of months ago I was heavily debating to move to NYC, thank you Jordan for saving me from what would be possibly the greatest mistake in my life.
Don’t move anywhere or any place ran by Democrats consider a red city or state I live in one and we are not dealing with these crisis and I am being straight up honest we are not dealing with out of control crime. Shooting carjackings murder We are not dealing with migrants , taking jobs taking over our streets, taking peoples apartments and homes not any of these crisis, so consider that an option if you do move.
Why did you even consider in the first place lol

@@tiffanycurtis4794 Well said. The more progressive a city is, the softer on crime a city is and that's not good for anybody except the criminals.
Move to Denver ,, wait ,,maybe Portland ,, we’ll maybe Chicago,, no Seatle ,, love the mountains,, but oh,,San Francisco ,, no LA ,, Pheaniks ,,, never mind !!!
Rural life for me. I'm lucky enough to have sold my house of 25 years and buy a place on 3 acres and my own water supply. Putting in a garden this year and raising chickens and rabbits. Plenty of hunting in season.
Enjoy
Very smart. This is the way
You can't put a price on that and you'll probably live longer.
We are trying to get 10 or 15 acres that backs up to a state forrest or some other large tract that won't get developed. Helping a friend develop his new 22 acres purchase in Alabama. He doesn't hunt, so I am planting food plots and am going to hunt for him and split the deer meat.
And if not, you’ll at least die happy 😆
This chanel has become a never ending NY rant which is hilarious and tragic and just waiting for the farewell NY video
California's new minimum wage for fast food workers (which includes teenagers) is almost the same amount as the starting salary of an NYPD cop. Shameful! Do teenagers flipping burgers have to put their lives on the line every day they go to work? This state and city (and country) should be ashamed of itself!
I moved out of NYC years ago and don't miss it all.
This is the Cloward-Piven strategy folks. And NYC ain't the only place its being used.
Thx Obama
its being used on white countries
10:11 This naivete is exactly why this is happening. Any lawmaker should understand that any person is going to take advantage of laws that the "spirit of the law" did not intend. If a lawmaker cannot or will not understand this, they don't deserve to be in that position of authority, but the voter doesn't think that through to it's conclusion, so they keep voting for incompetence.
My aunt lives in the East Village and because she lives in a legacy rent-controlled apartment that she bought back in the 80s, and she's fortunate enough to have a cushy upper-class office job, she thinks everything is overblown. I wish I could knock some sense into her
I was born in NY during the height of MS13, Latin Kings, bloods, crips, & more.. it wasn’t anywhere you want to live. Idk why all of these people want to live there. I had to leave ASAP.
when would you say that height was?
@@aysuppatruck6185 90s & early 00s. Lots of immigrants were arriving so it was a lot of MS13 from Central America & Latin Kings from Puerto Rico & other Hispanic countries. The blacks had their bloods, crips, & other Caribbean gangs. They got Asylum in 2000. Now it’s a new wave.
@@aysuppatruck6185wondering the same. I left NYC in 1994 and never went back.
Many of the people living in NY now probably weren't around for that. I'm in Chicago. In the 80s, this place was a disaster. There seem to be a lot of people who want to bring back those days. Many of them are wealthy white people on the North Side who are insulated by neighborhoods like mine from the worst of the dangers. It's very frustrating.
oh so when Guiliani was in office? or do you mean the next Republican in Bloomberg? And their policies were actually found Federally Illegal...rembember when this country cared about laws? The GOP sure can't rememer the last time they did.
It's almost like you can legislate safety properly and no Republican has ever been interested in it, in modern times.
Keep it up, Cash. Your commentary is very needed, accurate and perceptive. I know you love New York and what has been happening to this great city is heartbreaking.
Good stuff, thanks.
It’s like living through the prequal to the movie, Escape from New York.
Cash.. How do you keep your head from exploding from knowing , analyzing , commenting and producing such vital content day after day ? You are a true New York Hero,,.. and your wife must be a saint. Thank you
I’m wondering why is he still there? 😢
I think he's gonna move his family out of the city. I sure hope so, it's a warzone out there.
It's not a warzone at all, but Cash would lead you to believe it is. That's why he won't leave, he makes too much money off you dolts.@@BajatheChickenMan

I left around the same time. It was still a dope city to live in but now I don't even miss it a little bit.
A stunning example of the difference between pragmatic governance and order vs. naïve idealism and chaos.
It’s not idealism. This all being done on purpose
@@SpartyCubsFan - I half agree…A type of idealism (“transforming America”) is an initial motivation but, yes, I agree, the strategy is deliberate destruction.
When I worked at a shelter a few years ago, my director had said a comment that to this day it was profound. She said most businesses profit from problems. So for instance, people have a problem like needing their clothes to be cleaned so a business like laundry would be the solution. So the business would profit from this problem. If people would find their own solution and wash their own clothes or have a washing machine then the laundry business would go out of business. So basically that is the root of capitalism profiting off of other people's problems. This is why these politicians create all these problems such as Bail reform, MTA SBS service and illegal immigrants so they can create a solution that the city and their shareholders can profit from. All of this has backfired on them and now they are losing instead of gaining. All of this is a gain for power that just went flop because they over played their hand.
And it’s all symptomatic of the end stage corruption when empires fall
It still remains to be seen *what* their plan is and how it shakes out.
Well said, Cash. I lived in NYC, mostly in Queens, for nearly 40 years in 4 different apartments over that time. The apartment I moved out of, where I was for 28 years, was rent stabilized, but was worn out from old age and wear and tear. My rent was less than half of what almost any studio apartment in every borough goes for today, and even I gave up, and moved in late 2020 when I had hoped to enjoy my retirement years at the museums,opera,theaters, etc, ad infinitum. I struggled as we rebuilt NYC slowly after 9/11, and again slowly after 2008. NYC will somehow survive and thrive again, but not in my lifetime. I miss the city, but I miss the city that is no more.
Yeah look at what they did hold on to that feeling never forget and never forgive mainly because the people who did this would never give you an actual genuine apology anyway
Curious.
1. You lived in NYC so long that you were there in an era when, if not exactly affordable, there were still properties that an average person could purchase. Why did you rent for 40 years? If you'd invested in a property 20-30 years ago, however small, you'd've made a killing when you moved.
2. You said your apartment was "worn out" after you lived in it for 28 years. I understand that rent stabilized apartments don't get much maintenance, but did you never put any of your savings from your lower rent back into the place at all? that seems weird, especially as you clearly intended to live there very long-term.
3 I really hope you saved all the extra money all those years and were able to buy a nice place elsewhere in 2020
I know what you mean about needing to accept that the cycle will exceed your likely lifespan. Sadly, I now realize that I experienced a unique high point for San Francisco and the Bay Area during my 20s and 30s, and that that high point is now long past and unlikely to return...honestly, probably not ever. An even worse feeling, especially when I realize that the future denizens of this place will have such very low standards that they will seldom even be able to imagine the great time they missed.
Nicely said. But, um, you didn't call me so we can go together. 😅 Moving out of NYC this Season. Lived in each Borough, and seeing our city just sink. The remain old G's see me and call me Old New York. I guess, I'm sharing cause right now before I leave I'm reminding them old New York.
Enjoy your new life chapter! ✨️ 😊
I completely understand 😢I am looking for somewhere else to love ❤
it is now Detroit 2.0, along with Portland and the major cities of California. Liberals got what they asked for.
It took quite a long time to achieve but NYC is finally done. "Finished" is the most beautiful word in the English language.
and CALIFORNIA is right there.
I doubt it. NYC is going through a down phase right now, but things were much worse in the 60s when manufacturing left and the 80s when crack hit, yet the city managed to bounce back both times.
@@jimbo1637 Detroit is also going through a down phase right now, but I'm not taking any odds for it to bounce back.
@@JScottHamilton Detroit went into a down phase when manufacturing left in the 60s and never recovered. That isn't really the same situation...
@@jimbo1637 your country and cities being invaded and you call it a "down turn" lmao. You Americans are truly fascinating creatures.
My country don't have that many immigrants, I still vote to have them the few we got, all shipped to Sweden and America...
I hope anyone with kids have a good start
CASH, I am not getting notifications of your VLOGs from when you changed from Apartments to Social reporting.
You could go hmmmmm about that.
Lucky I haven't stayed away, in fact enjoy your style on huge issues all the more.
'Escape From New York' may become a reality yet..
Good flick!
If there was ever a pre-qual to "Escape from New York" I imagine that it would look similar to the current situation.
Change your voting habits that got you to leave New York in the first place.
@user-xu1ol3pn1e don't live in the USA. Americans really do believe they're the center of the universe
However, "The Division" game has become a reality now if you think about it. The national guard are stretched just like the JTF in-game, and this time, It's not the virus you have to worry. It's the people. 💀
New Yorkers good job with your voting. Its not the officials fault. It is YOUR fault.
From City to Federal Levels.
What is the implication here? That you can simply vote away complex issues that are partially beyond the control of local officials?
Nobody actually voted for this. The election hasn’t been legit for over a hundred years.
The policies of the people you put into office have effects on your day to day life even if you don't directly see it.
It's the entire system that is corrupt, leaders and citizens
A great reminder thanks to the video: Anything that’s a crisis will most assuredly be turned into a business, if it wasn’t one from the start
Cash! Though it’s a personal matter. Did you consider moving to Japan and applying for a spouse visa? You seem like an awesome guy!
I’m a former NYer and native from Brooklyn. I suggest looking at the Japanese option for consideration. I almost made that leap back in my 20s and staying permanently in Osaka.
Start improving your Japanese because you never know! 😊
I was an international nyc based flight attendant in the late 90’s early 2000’s and loved it. I tried again in 2017 and it was hard… its an absolute hellscape now. I don’t even want to visit anymore.
At least it's not San Francisco
@@criticaljacques2237 I never liked SF. Never wanted to live in CA.
Our beloved NYC is STILL an exciting city with many cultural institutions. No one else has our "live" Broadway, world class museums, opera, philharmonic, street festivals and historic architecture. Don't hate our city.

NYC in the early 90s was way worse than anything today. I LOVE NY!f
I’ve lived in NYC suburbs for essentially my entire life, from the outside looking in. I’ve seen the slow and gradual decline of New York over time, and its state right now is so sad to watch
I do agree you can feel it as a New Yorker.
I am old enough to have known NYC in the 1980's. The Democrats were in control then so Times Square was a cesspool of prostitutes. Grand Central and the subway stations smelled of urine and were plagued with crime. Republicans cleaned the city up. Once the Democrats were bac in control the city began its slide into the cesspool it is now. Keep voting for Democrats if you like the sh'thole NYC is now.
ditto, here from LI
NYC has gone up and down and up and down for centuries
When would you consider NYC to be at it's height?
What a sad existence the glorious Roosevelt Hotel now has. I've stayed there before. 😞
The waitlist to see a judge is 7 years. I have never seen them right to shelter a American citizen
millions of illegal immigrants become voters that are weaponized to create more policies favoring more lawless reckless mass immigration. the Democrats are basically creating mass-voting-scam which will mostly end up hurting them, their jobs and their cities. woke culture has created braindead zombies
Ultimately "right to shelter" = right to the free use of the property of others.
You cannot square that circle and retain private property which is the cornerstone of absolutely everything.
I understand that shelter is a basic human need, but writing the right to housing into law just gives bad actors free access to that which they did not work for. If you have 10 kids, whose fault is that? Not mine. If you have no skills, whose fault is that? Again, not mine. People need to stop looking for a handout at every turn and take some responsibility for their own actions. I'm tired of working and paying for those who refuse to better themselves.
Their goal is to undermine private property rights along with individual freedom
Property selling for millions of dollars that only hedge funds and outfits like Blackrock or Vanguard can buy ? I don't necessarily agree with unrestrained right to shelter, but blaming the homeless with one brush is not the answer.
I live in EU. In most places rent is like 80 percent of a paycheck, impossible. And salary is just 650 euros.
Grew up just outside of Manhattan but moved to Texas 5 years ago. Best decision I've ever made. Went back recently and it was incredibly disappointing to see what it has become. NYC has been dying a slow death for years though.
