The graphics in this post-apocalyptic game is awesome! Especially I liked the npc who was yelling about the flat world, but developers should add him more phrases. And also I’d like to see more quests. That’s good that we still can differ beauty of real NY and filth of in-game NY.
As a fellow small business owner in Manhattan I really enjoyed your video . It’s been 5 years and my old space still has not been rented … prime corner . You have also fixed my computer many times . Great stuff
As an european: New York was always this mystical city of wealth, dreams and happines, fueled by all the movies and shows depicting it like this. Your vids show the sad reality that no one wants to talk about...
It's spoken about daily. 100,000 NYC residents are homeless. Crime is insane in many neighborhoods. The Bronx is the poorest place in the United States. The place is just dirty and years behind the rest of the world in sanitation, proper road, bike, pedestrian infrastructure and lacks beautification nearly everywhere outside of touristy places.
So sad to see. I visited NY as a young Brit in '99, had my 21st birthday out there. It was an amazing place, full of light and life, felt like I was on a movie set. Did all the touristy things like the Empire State building, World Trade Centre, Statue of Liberty, all that jazz. Even blagged my way into CBGBs one night. For the next 20 years I've always wanted to come back again, but frankly I doubt I'll bother now. Looks like the place peaked a long time ago.
He's walking through the worst areas in a dead time of the day. This isn't reflective. Guess what people are living everywhere and out and about. It could be Sunday morning which is always closed except for lots of restaurants. Places are careful and they close if there is too many employees
@@xiqueira Dead time of a day? 3PM is dead time of a day? Seriously? Maybe show us video of 5th Av, Financial District, Park... Pick "best among best" locations.
Viruses don't shut things down. The coof didn't do this. It's 100% the administration coupled with the American sheople not doing shit to stand up for themselves. End rant.
I would hope that you like seeing your products walk out the door. Can't really see that all of these taggers are actually paying for their spray paint.
It wont make money since theft and armed robbery is decriminalised in NYC so the artists will just walk in and take your shit and walk out and you cant do anything! Wonderful isnt it. And you are not allowed to have a gun either.
This video feels in a lot of ways like a snapshot of information that will be able to be looked back on when we want to understand why large cities are having massive economic issues in a few years if this decline continues
If you could imagine a city in hospice this video shows what New Your is right now. People will continue to move out because who wants to be around a rotting corps.
i live in japan. i dont wear rose glasses about it but hey, the trash on the streets and vacant rossman group store there never cleaned up is just ridiculous. gosh.
I'm in Moscow, Russia. Also surprised at how grungy NYC looks. This video makes it look like a trash pile hit by a bomb. Hard to believe people consider it a 'cultural, financial, and media capital of the world'.
Philly looks like this too. There are neighborhoods that looked great just 20 years ago. Now, not safe even during the day. There are houses of incredible architecture. Cant imagine the cost to build with the same. Those homes are now the worst parts of the city. The magnificent artful construction is still there, on falling apart homes.
I’m more curious about what monitor you use at your desk in the store to look at your board views and schematics etc. it isn’t listed in your list of things you use and I’m really curious. I’ve been looking at getting a decent monitor for my microscope camera and to look at schematics etc.
Flat earth theory is ridiculous everyone knows the earth is actually hollow and full of dinosaurs and sea monsters (This is a Joke the Earth is not actually Hollow)
NYC’s issue is that it caters to transplants who typically come for the “NYC experience”. They raise rents and contribute to the displacement of existing New Yorkers who made the city great. If anything happens, these transplants can just return to where they originated from while real New Yorkers might not have that social mobility. Gun crimes is up because NYPD strategically ended their plainscloth unit that went around removing guns and this was after the whole defund the police rhetoric started. That coupled with the ever growing desperation culminating in this once great city because of the effects of transplants, we are essentially in a shitty situation like this. Only way to bring it back to greatness is for the new mayor to work on reducing the cost of living, improve the availability of rent stabilized living quarters and the reinstatement of the plainscloth unit targeting guns in the street.
This is happening everywhere, interest rates were so low for so long, people started using houses as a saving accounts, and people that really need a house or a place for a bussiness can't pay the rent. And they don't care, it's a f'ing savings account, with people is just trouble unless they pay through the roof.
The only catch is you have to find or rather WAIT for someone willing to cash you out for that savings >.> Its going to get ugly when ever the current housing and or renting bubble pops. >.< Not even new renters are gonna save people when that happens.
How could that possibly work? If I have a $1M building, I have to pay AT LEAST $10K in property taxes, plus other expenses. That is a negative interest savings account! You would do better to bury your $1M in cash in your back yard. At least then, I would have the liquidity to dig up the cash and invest/spend it whenever I want.
@@gilgamarsh That makes it even Worse! (After doing some quick calculations in my head, I realized that in my somewhat comfortable and upscale suburban city, I would actually pay about $18K on a $1M property + extra expenses) Using a commercial building as a savings account is plain stupid. Without constant rental income it would be a huge money loser. Luckily, the value of my home has gone up 30% in 10 years(because I have no mortgage, that's a 3% return, with 1/2 that gain in the last 3 years), but I still put most of my savings in mutual funds, because THEY HAVE HIGHER RETURNS than business real-estate.
@@MJSGamingSanctuary It's not the new renters, it's the rolling capital that will always be there. The only way for them to vanish is for real estate to be a bad bet. And that only happens if the guarantees on the property vanish or a better investment (aka a negative inflation rate) appears
It's so strange to see NYC go through all this. I always thought it had a mentality that would go along with the initial closures for a few weeks, then say "go fuck yourself, we got business to do". Apparently I was very wrong.
I imagine it has something to do with the giant police force. Not sure if they downsized that much after the huge growth when drugs and crime were really bad. Now they can be used to enforce this stuff.
@@lord_haven1114 the police are no longer allowed to, or even tasked with doing anything about their violent fauna so they have all the time in the world to mindlessly enforce Uncle Adolf treatment on normal people trying to go about their day
NYC always goes thru cycles, how else can anyone afford to move there and reinvigorate it: if only rich clueless clowns and foreign billionaires can afford it?
I've never been to NYC. Is this the normal? I can't fathom renting a storefront for $10k a month on a street looking even remotely like this. Really helps me appreciate where I live. No trash and could rent a similar space here closer to $1k - $2k, lol! Also, where does anyone park? Are there massive parking garages somewhere nearby?
It's not like that everywhere. As for the storefront thing, the amount of foot traffic is very heavy almost everywhere in the city, no city can match that foot traffic and that equals more revenue, which is why companies pay ridiculous amounts for a small location there. As for the rent, many people that live in the city are more or less wealthy, if you want to live a cheaper lifestyle you need to go to Bronx, Brooklyn or Queens and then commute to the city, and yes there are massive parking lots that overcharge, but to avoid this you can take the train, it's much faster

11:10 Is the reason you're wearing a bicycle helmet while walking around NYC and filming because: 1) You want to appear "special" so no one will approach you while filming, 2) You are in fear of getting head trauma while walking because the sidewalks are that dangerous in NYC 3) You're having a really bad hair day. 4) You rode your bike to that location and locked it up good, but know that the bike helmet will get stolen as soon as you leave it with the bike.
This is the same NYC I've always visited. I've never visited NYC and not seen empty retail spaces. I've always seen trash and disgusting stuff in the streets. The first time I went to NYC, I made the mistake of driving my car through the city. When I drove through China Town, and there was so much trash in the streets that when I got back home, after hundreds of miles, there was still trash wrapped around the axles of my car. In 04, I made the mistake of going in a McDonalds in Manhattan, and I then made the mistake of walking in the bathroom: There was a sea of feces and urine saturating the floor. I went to a Macys afterward, threw my shoes away and bought overpriced replacements. What New Yorkers live with as 'normal' blows my mind. I would never live in a place that has to have metal pull-down doors over store fronts. Or graffiti on store fronts. Also: It's been 10 years since I've been to NYC, and it appears the roads have somehow gotten worse. I previously thought that to be impossible.
Thanks for the clarification. I've never been to the U.S. but I wanted to go to NYC someday. After seeing this video and your description, I rather stay in my hometown Mexico City and save me the money and disappointment. To think NYC, a top class city (or so the media says) is as filthy, unsafe, and full of lunatics as my third world country capital city, is mind blowing.
@@user-is7xs1mr9y There's a quaint little Greek fishing village in Florida called Tarpon Springs that'd make a nice getaway. It's not a big commercial attraction or grandiose city, but it is fun, with good food and lots to do, including parks, beaches, boat rentals, and sponge diving.

Was paying 2k/month for huge flat in Egypt. The owner visited from UK to say he was raising to 4k. I said, "You know no one will pay that." He responded, "Yeah, but for anything less I'd rather have it sit empty so I have a place to stay when I come here for 2 weeks each summer." I went on to explain to the idiot that he could rent it to me for 24k/yr, stay in the penthouse at 4 Seasons for 2 weeks per year, and still come out ahead. He seemed shocked, but still was like, "nah". As someone who owns rentals myself, the idea of having one sit unoccupied for even a week makes my stomach churn.
Morons still don;t understand that when you have a building sitting with no heating and cooling, no power, and unoccupied, it will get destroyed by rats/mice, humidity, water damage, the weather, vandals and squatters, etc and be worthless. You HAVE to have someone in there
I would like to see urban properties go on listings for cheaper prices when they get abandoned for a long time. Sounds nice and it keeps people from sitting on properties while they decay.
never happen the landlords are being run by cartels off shore with no resident landlords or USA owners anymore pride in ownership and building maintain ace is no more with the need for greed paramont......................... bottom line they don't care for conditions of buildings just pay them the money for a SHOOTHOLE BRSIDES THE CLASS OF PEOPKLE JUST MOVED OUT FOR BETTER PASTURES

@@SkepticalMantisCHANNEL10 Well as long as someone votes, those garbage politicians remain in power. These voters can also look into the backgrounds of the individuals they're voting into power, but they choose not to. People could be voting in more fresh names who could potentially be a lot better than the political dynasties currently in control, but again, they choose not to. The people who vote aren't exempt from any amount of blame since they're the people who help the garbage politicians remain in power.
It was bucketing down one night and I went to order takeout. I only had my bank card on me and their card machine was down. The owner told me to order whatever I wanted and pay next time I was coming by 😳 I gave him the money a few days later, ordered more food and will go out of my way to go back there 🙏🏼
Near where I live there used to be a grocery store that closed in 2010. It still had power going to it, and I would snag drinks from the vending machine out front because for some reason it kept getting restocked, and a full size bottle was only seventy five cents. But it the HVAC units were removed, the parking lot was more gravel than asphalt, and the loading dock on the back side was open to the elements because someone yanked the rolling door up and damaged it. Well, that building stayed abandoned until last year because the owner wanted something like $1,500,000 for it. He finally gave in and split the building into three units. Only one of them is currently being used, and it's where the entrance of the grocery store used to be. The rest of the interior is still a damaged mess with half installed insulation from the attempted repurposing that's now covered in mould from where the loading dock door never got fixed. There's also a building that's been abandoned since 2013. It used to be a restaurant. Two stories, both floors are 15x33', street parking. The windows are broken in, the siding on the building has fallen off exposing the brick, and the power and water were shut off years ago. The guy who owns it still maintains that he wants $550,000 for it or $900,000 for the lot to build on, despite outright abandoning it. He didn't just shut it down, but actively made an attempt to ignore it and hoped it'd somehow disappear or a fairy godmother would piss on it and turn it into a desirable office building or something.
I may know why the vending was restocked...alot of times it's its own business and you were buying so he kept it up for you as long as he could ...he also payed for that spot up to a point pre pay style so why not if he has power
Thank you so much for this invaluable information as the media can't even simply provide honest footage like this to save their lives! Videos like this help provide us with an accurate picture of how things really are in particular parts of NYC.
Raving lunatic encountered in under a minute. Why would anyone want to live in this place? I mean... god bless them for doing it. You guys stay right where you are.
I really like these informal video tours of Manhattan; I can sense the grimy "go fuck yourself" reptilian energy of it all, wafting up from the pavement, oozing out of the brick and stonework like a psychic miasma.
Recalling NYC in the 70's vividly upon reading "urban decay" and NYC. And I am reminded of how much I hated being genuinely forced into pushing credit card applications on customers every single time I rang up a sale at Macy's. Thankfully those days are long over and I will never do that again!
Thank you for reminding me of those cringe moments at Macy's and Sears. I remember them saying if I didn't get 3-5 a day they'd fire me. I purposely never pushed Macy's stupid credit cards.

New York City appears to have become a hostage of its past in many ways. There are much older cities (Amsterdam) that have implemented garbage receptacles and removal that is modern and more sanitary. A true leader would make this a ten-year project for the city. I don't know anyone who would be against the end of trash bags on the street.
Reminds me of the old stories you hear about pre-industrial cities where there was just human refuse covering every street. You hear about the old times in London in the 1600s and think how quaint, the days before sewage and garbage collection. Except it's not an old story, it's still happening in NYC.
@@anthonycbrown1952 last time i check they dont get to decide on city infrastructure and polices…only wages and maybe working ours…around 70% of the workforce is in some short of union in Denmark so that clearly wasn’t an issue there…
The absence of any real traffic at 3 in the afternoon is very telling. My first visit to NYC was a High School trip back in 89. The city had a much grittier feel to it back then, like you would expect an international city of that size to be. c I visited again several times in the 2010-2016 range and it had a much cleaner, yet overly commercialized feel to it. Maybe this decay will force it to grow yet again from it's roots and be interesting and full of culture. Instead of just endless streets crammed with cookie-cutter franchise restaurants and M&M stores.
alot of us sold our vevhles its just more efficient and cheaper due to high insurance rates to use public transportation which is really good here and whenever we want to leave the city we just rent a car and it actually comes out to a cheaper bottom line.
I think the era of growth for NY as a whole is over. All I see where I live now miles away is NY car tags which NY is entering an era of filth and decay just like what is in the White House now is pure filth and decay.
It's good to see NYC getting back to how it represented in the first couple seasons of 'Law and Order'. It was a real character in the series back then
Your voice reminds me of my uncle. They way he talks the way he sounds the way he interacts with people and his environment . To the point where I’d ask him if he was making yt videos if he didn’t dislike nyc as much as he does and based on what you said he’s about twice your age
In America, storefronts do not exist to facilitate doing business with the public. They exist to maximize profit for building owners. How they do that without renting them is probably an interesting story 😂
NYC could solve that by taxing unused space... And if you can't or won't pay up, the property is returned to the City, who could sell it to the highest bidder... This would make it very unprofitable to keep the storefronts empty, making the prices drop to what they should be.
It works like this, instead of renting at a lower price today and having to reset the price forever and making a lower total over a large amount of time, the property owner waits until they receive the highest price they believe they can get, maximizing their profit over said timespan. The whole thing is explained by time preference, which is one of the main economic principles everyone works under, some without even realizing it. The knowledge of the buildings value always rising helps people realize that they literally can't lose, even if they have to sell in a year or two, combined with the fact that the renters in the apartments above will help keep their bills paid, makes it a no brainer for property owners to want to wait until they receive their asking price.
I’ve missed your real estate series. One of my favorite series on RU-vid. Glad to see a follow up. I’ve been wondering how New York is really fairing under these conditions. Used to live much closer to NYC so I could visit regularly
Louis: I like your idea; give the owner of record an ultimatum like they announce at a wedding; anyone against the city selling the property to someone who will clean it up, make the repairs, maintain the property for better or worse; speak up now or it will be sold to the new owner for $1. I lived in Phila., and used the same tour guide method describing where I lived in Phila. You are by far the best; loved the commentary.
I love Louis’ videos, especially the bike tours. It makes me want to live in NYC, right until you realize the city is dying slowly. It’s so sad because nothing has made me love NYC more than these videos.
Those 4 competing restaurants, reminded me of living in PR & going by certain beaches, the parking lots turned into outdoor restaurants. & as you drove in, people would be outside of their “pop up”, trying to signal you to come into their place. Some places would hand out pina coladas to entice you. What a memory! I can freakin taste those pina coladas now… those were such nice days. We’d make it a weekend thing & try out diff places. Although, we did end up eventually, sticking to this one place because it just had the best of everything!
With everything going on in the world, I am glad that your level of quality for good graffiti is still high. I am not sure what that gives you, exactly, but you can send the word out to the streets for those artist to up their game.
I used to live in New York (upstate) and because of the taxes and property taxes are just insane that there is a new demand for business but it’s like trying to grow a plant in a desert so you end up with big corporations and businesses who never pay taxes I can’t imagine what it is like in the city with the competition with others keep doing what your doing thanks
Same thing is going on here in Seattle, apartments/commercial spaces charging 40% more while half the units are unoccupied and half the street is closed. No clue whats happening.
23:00: "Open to the idea of ownership coming to the hands of someone who tends to it". It's kinda the laws Switzerland implemented after the building boom and crisis of the 80s. If you are not renting, you are paying to the state and the community in taxes the same amount on the property as if you were renting it, with it going towards the maintenance of public infrastructure. As the result, the rate of vacancies is extremely low and the inflation of renting and buying prices since 90s has been pretty minimal, compared to the US and a lot of other countries across the world.
Don't compare this to America. They are still building anywhere they can here because no vacancies. This is just a Democrat hell hole everyone is fleeing

I'd like to hear Louis's outlook for NYC in 5 and 10 years down the road. What does he think the city is going to look like in that timeframe? That would be a good video idea.
Ahhh, this is great, magical. I'm 97% lifetime rural, but have a bittersweet spot for the city. Love the din, and the energy. My first visit to New York, maybe 1979? during gas "shortages" and city wide garbage strike! I'm telling you, mountains! of reaking garbage lining every sidewalk. Mountains! I can definitely feel those shadow businesses gone, here, in this video. Our family van got robbed, in the nice, secure? hotel parking garage. We were told it was because we hadn't "tipped" the garage attendant. Happy to have stood on the very tall twin buildings, before gone.

I live in a 3rd world country Philippines. And our CBD's would look much better and cleaner than this although I think it's also dirty. And will be 15x busier place. It's sad how NYC is iconic.
The time for adverse possession varies by state. But, the principle is that if someone occupies and up-keeps property and is not told to leave after a certain period of time, then that individual can file for ownership by adverse possession. It is also known as "squatter's rights".
I can't be certain but I believe the Netherlands have some fun law that basically states that have you not entered your property for a year, that's not your property anymore. I think they made that law when they had a huge housing shortage, but I don't remember the details.
@@Turbomaniac7 Most of those laws were passed when there were a lot of people who died unexpectedly usually after wars or plagues. The state couldn't keep up with who owned what and who was or wasn't dead. So it's the government saying 'fuck it, you figure it out'.
Agree, it sounds like adverse possession. One has to openly occupy the place for 10 years, then it becomes theirs. I don't see that working in NY. I'd think the owners would notice before 10 years. But it does seem like something needs to be done. I've heard some discussion for a "vacancy tax" be imposed for housing. The idea is owning a place just as a vacation apartment will get a lot more expensive.
The way things are worded now, adverse possession requires a lot of steps before it gets to the point of someone actually taking over someone else's property. The time varies by state (some states require 15+ years!) and the standards do as well. It's not just a matter of "ohp nobody checked on me in a year, guess it's mine now!" You've got to openly display your use of the property, you have to maintain the property, you have to have your mail going to the property, etc. In order to have a safe AD claim your use of the property has to be really blatant and you gotta do it for a long time.
You are a real NYC hero!! Love you for speaking the truth!! I appreciate all of your videos, but the ones where you're walking the streets or riding your bike, that's empirical data. Objective information that can't be denied! You're the man. Health and happiness to you in 2022.

Id imagine its not much different from living in any large metropolitan area. lots of crazies, unending gridlock since the early 2000's, more shopping opportunities in walking distance than you know what to do with (if you live in the core).
I remember an adverse possession out of Colorado. And older couple didn't stop a judge from hiking on their undeveloped property. Then 10 years later, the judge filed adverse possession and stole the land. So, never be nice when it comes to someone on your property. They may be a lawyer or a judge.
@@LRM12o8 The point is to never let anyone trespass more than once, even if you have to go to guns. Those dusty "for lease" signs in NYC may simply be there to establish legal premise to prevent the city from taking action saying the property has been "abandoned". High rent demands may simply be a away to show ownership activity without permitting occupation.
@@Darrylizer1 lmao, pretty sure the Indians used the land in a lot of ways. And you do realize there's a difference between natural land and a defined property within a city/settlement area, right?
