I Found a Secret NYC Apartment INSIDE a Church… 

Beware of water leaks to those living below a water heater. Do newer water heaters have auto shutoffs which shutoff if the water heater stops working and leaks? No in unit laundry because the plumbing in this old building probably could not accommodate them.

Smart, avoid being ripped off. NYC sucks because it’s way overpriced so it’s just a grind, all money going to rent. Not worth it.

Your comment...'I hate most people and just tolerate the rest.' Took the words right out of my mouth. Are you my long lost sister?

Hate most people tolerate the rest 😂 I can relate

Walkups definitely have to have a washer and dryer!

🤔

Thank you soo much for saying what I was JUST gonna say!

Hahahahahah yes it's true

It's Christian to provide housing for the needy in a church that's disused. A church recently bought out millions of dollars of medical debt to be eliminated. If Christians did cool things for their communities like that more often they would begin to fill their churches up again. If I were rich I would probably sue the government to force them to payback wages at current minimum wage for the inmate worker program & start a tiny house building program with the help of a local trade school. The workers would would potentially get hundreds of thousands of dollars of back pay per each worker, and I would offer them the chance to walk away with a free tiny house as a tradeschool graduation award. If they're getting their own tiny house on their way exiting the prison system then they would want to read up interior design with magazines in their prison cells. I recommend people use Bamboo or white colored cabinets with Phenolic Resin Countertops which are those black counter tops you see in chemistry labs. If the Prisoners built their own tiny house to their specifications then they'll quickly want to cut out abusive acquiescence out of their freind circle such as drunkards who punch holes in walls. It would be a self feeding loop of reform essentially, If they cut out abusive assholes then they'll probably start hitting the gym to improve their own bodies, maybe the prisoners would build a tiny house extension to fit a treadmill to stay in shape during winter time?

Literally "divine"! LOL

My first apartment (1985) was $325 a month!

Damn, I live in the most affordable city in the US and I pay $950 for a 1 bedroom

@@Jarrd260 Where do you live ???

@@kenscales4992 Fort Wayne, IN. That takes into account of cost of food and how much the area median is. I'm sure that's changed since 2020 but still seems somewhat affordable.

My first apartment (1970) was $92.00 a month and that included utilities...two bedrooms. But...min. wage was $1.25 an hour.

That was my favorite, too. I love the light and the outdoor spaces.

IMO it’s the nicest kitchen.

I grew up up in CT too . . . Trumbull and Hamden. 🏠

SW CT as well!

I lived in New Haven for 13 years

I have dreamed of living in NY all my life. Lucky yous.

I grew up between Manchester and Willimantic CT

And your wife as well 🌼🌹🌺🍁🏵️💐🥀🥀

Also, you don’t have to worry about people on the street looking into your apartment.

My fireplace is the focal point of my great room the way it was in the bronze age while man was struggling with inventing the wheel or whatever he was working on at that place in time. Now everyone puts their boob tube above the fireplace. How nuts is that??

@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 Latin for fireplace is "focus".

@@richardhaas39 I could believe that because whenever there is a fire on a TV screen people focus right on that. The music videos that MTV showed in the beginning all had fire in them to get ratings. Either fire or scantily clad women or both. They don't show those videos anymore as far as I know but I don't watch MTV. Me and my cat focus on the fire in the 🔥 place. Thank you for illuminating this subject.

@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 It sounds like you and your cat are real scholars. "Schola" is Latin for leisure.

@@richardhaas39 No, Mr. Haas, I think you are the scholar with your incredible knowledge of Latin. I am part of the leisure class now that no one is requiring my services. My cat sleeps about 19 hours a day and the only Latin she knows is meow which is translated as "feed me some salmon now" She owns the whole schola franchise in my opinion!

Hey, Tiffany!

I knew you would love the idea of reusing & repurposing this building. I also knew you would NOT be a fan of the interior renovations. Don't think they could be any more cookie cutter than this. Remember that church Cash toured? I think it was either Greenpoint or Williamsburg but definitely Brooklyn. I know the church & rectory aren't the same but that church reno had so much character.

@@MamaCarola1 You DO know me well, my dear! I noted that you too were not too keen on this place yourself! It's just all too prefabricated (and cheap at that), along with the "peel & stick" feeling for me. If I HAD to live in it... of course, I would. But Cash has shown many units (I recall that church tour) in these same monthly rent price ranges which would make me much happier. Therefore, this one I would "pass over"
