Our family got our first 4 bedroom house in monroeville Pennsylvania for only a mere $155,000 in September 1995 but is about $325,000 in 2023 after accounting for inflation
@@PraveenSrJ01 That's still not bad. Where I am (Long Island, NY) you can't even get a run-down shack for $325,000. You're lucky to find anything for half a million.
In 1995 I had just finished college and gotten my first job on Park Av working at a bank. Strong economy, solid leadership and good times. I remember the 90’s being the best decade for NYC.
I am 60 years old and in many ways have had a hard life. However, the 1990's were definitely a better decade for me and for everyone I believe. It was a more hopeful optimistic period of time. The Cold War was over and all the problems of war and climate change and growing dystopia in politics and with new, untried high technology were not even on most people's radar. The 90's are the good old days in my book. My best decade for certain. Things really started going downhill after 9/11 2001. That is when the golden age ended.
I’d finished grad school a few years before ‘95 and was a few years into a career that lasted until 2017 when mental health struggles forced me to retire early. Rather than stressing me out and contributing to my mental health struggles, I feel nyc kept me going and held me up through my struggles. Professional life in nyc from the 90’s-pre pandemic was magical. I’d give anything to turn the clock back 30 years and do it again.
9/11 literally changed America. We've never been the same since on a cultural or emotional level. The division started after that day, as did the hate, and disunity. It's been almost two decades, and we've still not recovered from that horrific day.
Oh Bless you my dear fellow New Yorkers.... I am so sorry for the innocent loss of so many lives!" How Deep Is Your Love".... I know our love runs deep and forever for and from New York. I left Upstate in 95' and March of 95' would be the last timeI would see NYC pre-9/11😭. I was in Denver, Colorado on 9/11 but strangely awakened out here at 6 am. Like jerked from my sleep to see Katie Couric talking on T.V... anyhow. I was never the same either. Even living out bere. Could say more but mostly THANK YOU for returning a piece of my mind, Heart, memories, and SOUL via this priceless footage🗽🍎💔💘 NYC; LOVE 4 LIFE!
@@EM-ii5gv Big L, Jay-Z, Nas, The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest.... all around this time dropping classic gems. So many more but many had their debuts in 1996 so didn't wanna confuse (ha). But I mean even Westside Connection, every city across USA hitting. Shania Twain. Etc. 😇🥰😍🙏
I may have cut school on this very day and went to NYC. I've lived here for 20 years now and the hum of the city is so different from then. It's not better or worse just different. It's remarkable to see how big the cars were, no one staring down at their cellphones, how few bikes there are, no bike lanes. Thanks for this!
I always wondered what my favorite city in the world looked like on the day of my birth 29 years ago. thank you for providing a glimpse into this day. ❤
A lot more ruder people, and too many folks not paying attention to their surroundings. As well as the fact that we've gone from Detroit Diesel to Cummins.
8:27, RTS's galore, including the then Brand New 1994 TMC RTS's! They were numbered #8600-#8703, and were the first buses delivered with the newer Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine. These buses retired in 2010, replaced by the 2008-10 Orion VII Next Generation Hybrids. They were a mainstay at Michael J. Quill, and later went to JFK/Far Rockaway.
1995... No bike Lanes everywhere No cameras giving cars tickets No high inflation No congestion pricing No high cost of living No insane taxe hikes I could go on and on... but you get the point...
@@MyUserTubeAccount you do realize we don’t live in a utopian society? Various crimes take place every day in every single country in the world, and you wonder why we need security cameras? Lol.
I’m not from US but this reminds me of my country too. This were much simpler. It’s still hard to believe this was almost 20 years ago. I was a teenager. After class I used to go downtown to the arcades and meet people.
You know I was born in manhattan and originally lived in far Rockaway queens ny for my first 8 years of life and now I am almost 29 and still going strong
I was in NYC this year and was very disappointed with "cars" as there were almost no domestic brands to be seen. Not even cabs! London managed to keep their taxis alive, but in NYC I`ve seen only one Caprice in 7 days. For me, the city lost a big part of its soul.
I missed those days just looking at this wish I can go back in time because 2020 Nyc is never the same..you see people without cellphones are interacting with each other besides looking at their phones
The year I moved to New York. I was 22, fresh out of college and incredibly naive looking back on it. I left in 2003. Never made any money but had a good time. I'm now 47....wow time goes by in the blink of an eye. But I will tell people, I lived in Manhattan in my 20s and that is the time to do it, if you are ever going to! Still love NYC but it has changed a lot and not for the better. It's more cookie cutter generic.
That's what I've read about NY. People on youtube say it sucks now. I was born 6 mo after this, and even I think it looks better and more exciting. Kinda makes me want to pass up going... but vegas tho, I'm all in
This video was filmed three days after Eazy E died from aids complications which it happened in California who filmed this video in 3/29/95 great job in New York city
Wow a brand new dark colored Lexus LS 400 at 13:45 well a few years older because it was the first generation 90-94 and by looking at the rims it was probably a 90-92. In 1995 the second generation came out that year
thanks to the internet I found out if was about 50 degrees outside when this was filmed. Thats why we see all the old thick long coats lol. Law and Order theme song comes to mind.
28 years later and stil the same problems, crimes, dirt, rats, poor peoples but the only different is the big ammount of footage from today thanks to the Smartphones
Video was filmed 8 months before Elisa Izquierdo died from a brain Heamourage inflicted by her mom by throwing her at a cement wall as well as she had just turned 6 about a month and 11 days into the year rip little Elisa you will be missed
Hard to believe the 1995-96 RTS's lasted the longest of the RTS's we had. #8750-#9349 alone were in service for 22 years (the last ones retiring in December 2018)!
