- New York is a great city, but is it headed in the wrong direction? I live and work here, and i’ve got no plans to leave… but i do hope things on the ground in NYC start to get better.

I lived in NYC for 50 years and I recently left it. I seen it change through the years. At this point is not the city I remember. Since I worked in Manhattan and commuted every day. I got tired of crime and homeless people. I never knew if anything would happen to me. So I retired and left. I truly hope it changes for the better.
Lmao, NOPE!! As long as the keep voting for these leftist idiots, this is the norm for the shithole of America.
You are looking for likes with this BS post. You are lying because in the 70’s it was way worse. The 80’s with crack and crime into the 90’s was worse. Stop lying about why you left. It’s disgusting.
You vote blue then you feel blue. And you wonder how all that bad stuff around you has happened.
Are you a retart? What does that even mean to this subject? I spoke on how things were worse years ago and you bring up voting blue?
Wasnt the city more dangerous 30-50 years ago?
Your office is the perfect answer to the expensive rent in NYC. I love the simplicity and your problem solving skills. MAYBE YOU COULD CONSIDER RUNNING FOR MAYOR!!! Thanks for reporting on the main issues in NYC and keeping us aware ❤ Good job.
Oooohhhh,aren’t you gonna live the digital prison it leads to ^_^!
Would totally vote for you, Cash!
I blame NY MegaFeminists for the exponential rise in crime
I voted for Lee Zeldin
Not my smelly,overused a'bortion hole
My conscience is clear🧘♀️
I would vote for him if I lived there.
@@velvetbees Same would if I lived there.
"New York City is not perfect" - That is the biggest understatement of the year right there
This was a hella refreshing and very informative vid, cash! You made some eye opening points and I’m glad you’re using your platform to talk about things we don’t necessarily think about everyday.
Like your video on the state of NYC. It reflects what is going on in other major cities. I grew up in Chicago. The crime rates are getting worse. People avoid Downtown. But the whole city is less safe. Last time I went to visit my sister we were making plans to visit our favorite restaurant. I asked if we should go for lunch or dinner. She said lunch, because no one goes out after dark in any part of the city anymore. How sad!
No, it’s not. Crime is WAAAAAAY down trending. It ticked up slightly during Covid and now, but compared to the 90s? Still less than a quarter of the violence statistically.
“Crime” is up on the rise bc cops are cracking down on minor shit like smoking weed (or smokin it where you’re not allowed).
You get what you vote for
It’s not the White Supremus and Trump voters that are beating your ass. 😮
@@kaydenl6836 completely untrue. I was going to make a comment in my comment about Oh iT's DoWn fRoM tHe 90's comments rolling in, lol.
Where are you even from? Because cops in Chicago, like Ben was talking about, don't even bother with small stuff. It's not like that here. Do some actual research, so you can see the difference between now, and the 1990s....
And yeah, I can't even walk around in River North anymore, especially not at night. Not even a block. I live in what is supposed to be a nice neighborhood, too, and people getting stuck up at gunpoint all the time, right outside. Gunshots within extremely close proximity are my regular ambient noise for both where I work and live.
Living in Chicago suburbs most people I know avoid the city. I used to make bi-monthly trips for food, breweries, or theatre, but over the past 2 years I've been in the city once to pickup from a specific pizza place.
Chicago suburbanite here who goes into the city around once a week to visit friends and such. The entire city of Chicago not only feels more dangerous but crime has risen, even in neighborhoods that were low crime and safe (Lincoln Park, Lakeview, etc...). Due to most of the downtown office workers now working remotely from home The Loop and areas Downtown away from Michigan Avenue/ tourists attractions are less crowded and sometimes there's barely anyone on the block. At night there's not many people Downtown at all and it is not safe which makes it more likely you'll become a target. I usually leave the city when the sun starts going down which I would think was ridiculous pre-pandemic.
Just like Cash was talking about subway ridership being down in NYC, it's the same thing with the CTA L trains. Crime and other nonsense is up on public transportation.... in addition to electrical malfunctions causing delays and large stretches of a line to shut down for an hour or so like what happened a few weeks ago in the Loop for all the elevated lines. I try to avoid taking the L when a few years ago I would ride it all the time without thinking twice and usually walk or take the bus.
Just a friendly correction Cash, burglary is theft of a premises or business. What you’re describing is a robbery.
So they got it wrong in Pulp Fiction,eh. “All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking
last one of ya!
Obviously they should have consulted you.
Thought this too!
A decade or so ago I left NY. Only thing I missed about the city was when I had to go into the city, I did not feel I was going to be hurt in any way. I look at NY now and everything you say is how I have felt since 2018. Keep telling the truth.
He is telling bull shit. Fake news. Even after the government deliberately released prisoners to the streets in 2020 and purposefully brought poor immigrants from Mexico and afghan people from Afghanistan, even then NYC is pretty quet, safe and peacefull. I mean it is the same as before 2020 - nothing bad is really happening. And subways are even better and cleaner now, less homeless people here for some reason. But government is trying to freak out people with this kind of fake news and staged videos of crimes. Criminal government. I live in Manhattan, I know what Im talking about. It looks like they want people to flee NYC. You'll not see any crimes here if you turn off the TV.
Nobody misses you and let's be honest you were probably just a transplant
Oh yeah... Cash for mayor!
Don't get why people think manhattan is safe or ever was like it was never was.
@@M4TTYN Because you've never been there. And you're listening to people like this with anecdotes. Look at crime stats. New York doesnt even break the top 10 most dangerous states. Threads like this just devolve into an echochamber of people railing against NYC when they've never been there. Just confirming their own biases.
Thank for your honest assessment Cash….most realtors like to put a ridiculously positive spin on everything. So much so that it makes it really hard to believe anything they say. Keep up the good work, hope things level out & get better. Stay safe means something else in 2023.
Seeing security guards being more interested in their phones than being vigilant about their surroundings does not give me the confidence to visit New York. My dream is to visit the Big apple and talking to New Yorkers on a trip to Disney World a few years ago they urged me to follow my dream, then Covid put the mockers on that and now I'm thinking of doing Tokyo instead as it's cleaner, safer, easier to get around and cheaper. I looked into going to NYC at the end of this August for my birthday and the hotels were just too expensive. I hope NYC can improve, but, I'm not hopeful.
Security Goon here. Vigilance is useless when arrests are never made. We're absolutely not allowed to touch another human being (and if a Guard ever grabs you, threaten to sue his bond - in states that require one, anyway). The guns are only if you try to attack US. Security Guards have become ushers for the grand performance that is Security Theatre, and just like the rest of Security Theatre, we're nice to look at, but otherwise virtually useless, by decree. So, I have absolutely no problem with Security Guards slacking off in places like that, where crime isn't prosecuted. Our number one deterrent factor is being a witness at a suspect's trial - and, again, if they don't go to trial..?
U get what u pay for, hence shittty SCs
Similar to us
@@MitchellBPYao Yeah? They have similar rules in.. wherever you're from?
Youll love tokyo. Ive been there early January this year. I cant look at NYC the same anymore. The Japs are CIVILIZED compared to NYC.
What you want to see is a city that doesn't quickly deteriorate whenever it's faced with weak leadership and a weak economy. You want to see a city where the people have enough pride in who and what they are that they keep it together even when things aren't going so well. As somebody who's visited New York many times and enjoy much of what that city offers, I've always thought it a shame that there's so many obvious problems that never get solved and simply range from bad to not as bad depending on the era.
They don’t get solved because the problems of the many are the profits of the few. The same would apply for most of the problems the country faces.
I never wanted that guy to be Mayor. I miss Bloomberg
of course, your mayor hates libraries. he has never read or seen a book in his life.
NYC is a dump because of liberal policies. They get what they voted for.
I'm not sure how it would work but it's too bad some of the empty office buildings couldn't be retrofitted into lower cost apartments for police officers and other city workers, particularly those just starting out at the low salaries. Maybe with a stipulation of moving out after five to ten years after their salary increases? Shades of taxpayer subsidization/rent control though... Love all the videos!
Of course taxpayer subsidized, that's how the public private partnership's operate.
@Jerry Peukert which leads to high taxes which comes from the payhecks of those this apparently "helps".
@@koolaidbomber unless the taxes are targeted to higher income brackets and especially those who just sit and speculate on vacant properties
Awesome ideal! Can't believe this wasn't implemented before! Noble professions should have beautiful housing, common sense! Such a traumatic career! Call the News stations! Mayor , Hochul etc
That's like converting a Dodge Neon into a pickup. Technically possible, but not actually worth the effort.
Really enjoying the real situation on the streets instead of all the fluff pieces from the news
Cash, I really enjoy your apartment tours and how you show the business around the areas you’re touring. But this was some real journalism here! Fantastic. (I wouldn’t change to just this, but every now and then a piece like this is refreshing and informative.)
It never fails to surprise me how expensive NY life is. When you say “you can’t even find a bedroom for $1,000 a month” it makes me that much more grateful that we have a house on acres for less than that. It isn’t for everyone, but next time I complain about the 14 mile drive to the grocery store, I’ll just remember how lucky I am that I don’t have to take a subway to get there!
Do you live in the USA? Because there isn’t anywhere I can get a house on acres of land for a mortgage of 1k a month
I also live on 1 acre. Pay $1000 a month. (Texas) Out in the country. Commute to work is about and hour to the big city. But it's worth it!
@@bloozism yes, we were lucky to get into it before the prices more than doubled in our area. There’s nothing comparable now for under $250k, which is still about $1,400+ with 20% down and excellent credit. Still a pretty good deal compared to most NY apartments. If you don’t mind being in the middle of nowhere. 😏
@@the_Mrs. Being in "the middle of nowhere" isn't an option for us. I'm a native Texan, so I'm well aware of what happened to property values. My wife and I are both disabled veterans, so we need to be near a larger city so we have access to a VA hospital. Also we're having kids, so being near a city like Austin or Houston gives me more opportunities to get them into museums and other education oriented things. Maybe once we're retired we'll move farther out, but right now "the middle of nowhere" isn't viable.
@@bloozism Did you look in Upstate NY? Way upstate. I see affordable properties in Ogdensburg which is the American city closest to a foreign capitol. Ottawa is just one hour and five minutes away.
It's great that you keep us informed of what's happening in NYC especially for people who are thinking of living and working there, you do more of these.
And for thosewho want to come back

Thank you for this video. I’m a native New Yorker. I lived here through the dirtiest and most disgusting period (late 1960s to early 1990s - the worst years) Ive lived in my present apartment for nearly thirty years and raised my family here. And now I’m appalled and shocked at how disgusting the city has become since the pandemic. It’s in filthy free fall! The city is definitely headed in the wrong direction. The littering is out of control. There are rats everywhere. 86th Street is a major street with a major subway stop. It’s a cesspool. I never take the subway - what’s sad is just ten- twenty or so years ago the city was clean, low crime, no bad neighborhoods. Taxis - which I think of as part of the NYC transit system - have now become insanely expensive.
NYC is a prime example of democratic leadership. You got what you voted for!
Yeah. So messed up now. UBER successfully replaced a huge portion of Taxi business and they immediately raised the price. Talking about rats, they keep growing. Too much rich people throw out Michelin star leftovers.
Do you think you'll leave?
@@lisagardner903 💯
Yes, but it didnt change since 2019. In general it's not so bad here and it's still very safe. I live in Manhattan
I always enjoy this style of video when you put them out. Informative.
Thanks Cash for your thoughts on the current state of NYC. It's really much the same across here in the UK's big cities. Since the pandemic home working has become the new way of life. Office blocks now lie empty or underused. Once thriving High Streets & shopping malls are deserted in favour of buying online. Independent shops are closing down at a great rate and even famous department stores have gone. Drug related knife crime is an everyday occurrence. More people are happy to just live off the state. I wish I knew how to solve the problems but I don't. Stay safe. PS. Nice to see your family again.
One of the ideas that constantly gets brought up during discussions about guns here in the U.S. is how peaceful and safe the U.K. is in comparison because of the lack of guns on the streets. I get a bunch of pushback when I point out that the U.K. isn't some sort of magically nonviolent paradise because of that and that y'all definitely have your own issues, just with a completely disarmed populace thoroughly discouraged from defending themselves.
@@taylorlibby7642 yes of course we have problems. 60+ million crammed onto a small island is a problem in itself! What we don't have is mass shootings every week with 100's killed each year because you can't just pop into town and buy a gun! That is a problem that the US must sort out but I doubt that it will happen anytime soon. Stay safe.
However, London, as one example, or Paris has never been given the tagline of "greatest city in the world." That hype is why I originally thought NYC was way better than it actually is. In 2023, although Cash makes sense, his city overall is really no better, no worse than it has ever been. Crime & graffiti were bad decades ago too, & areas like the Bronx or Brooklyn were outright slums. NYC is what it is. Personally, I think a London or Paris has old-world charm that American cities, inc NYC, lack. Even the weather in parts of the UK & France may be a bit better too.
@@gridley I have visited NYC 4 times and it's my fav place that I know of. Its heart beats under your feet, the people are friendly. I love Brooklyn. Walked around the East Village at 3am and have travelled on the subway at 4am and felt safe. I loved the grandeur of the Manhattan skyscrapers. Central Park, Harlem. The cafes, bars & clubs. So many happy memories, OK it does not have the same history as London or Paris but I'd recommend that everyone should visit NYC at least once. Stay safe.
@@fannycraddock99I agree with you. European cities have that historical feeling blending with modern vibe that is Great. And New York, even if its not like it used to be, at the beginning of the 1980, when I first visited , home of those highest skyscrapers, is still very Unique, that New York vibes that embrasse my heart, and the people are a BIG part of it. But As some people said, the violence of the 1970 and before seems to be pointing his nose again, and its not a good feeling. Curiously, I think a tiny virus is what enhanced those sleeping characteristics. It is the same in Montreal: like back in the days, parcs, streets, and subways at nights are not as safe as just 4 years ago! And I don't know either if there's a solution to that, its such a complex situation😢
Sadly, crime is way up everywhere! Numerous people will walk into stores here in Santa Fe, grab a bunch of stuff, and simply flip employees off as they walk out the door. An employee in one store told me management told them not to confront thieves as they could get killed. Walmarts are closing due to crime in NM (and elsewhere). Other stores need to hire armed guards. Albuquerque is having more bank robberies too...along with truckloads of murders, etc.
Defunding libraries is a sad thought...sigh. The police pay is disgusting! I don't have to get shot at and make more they they do.
Yea most rite aids in NY closed due to that. i'm in a job similar and deal with really impatient, rude customers and way too many homeless. yea a police Precinct is down the block but that doesn't stop any from trying to steal so you know who has to risk their life yea me! .....
Excellent points, Cash. Not just in NYC, cause who wants to commute to an office in ANY town? Such a drag. Those who view this shift as an opportunity rather than an obstacle will thrive. 👍
The commute is bare ass and then people don't know how to fucking move. This is a small rant from an internally raging new yorker
NYC is not handicapped friendly. I saw that in the first episode I watched of Cash's.
Cash, I had been wondering if you still had your company or if you went TH-cam full time. Glad you still have it! Stay safe!
When were we ever safe? I'm well past retirement age and have no memory of that. You first have to BE safe to STAY safe.

DEMOCRAT POLICIES ====SOROS D A 'S HAVE DESTROYED N Y CITY
@@angelbulldog4934 Most people are safe - that sounds like a you problem.
I remember NYC from 1970s until 1995. Go to TH-cam to see NYC News Broadcast from that era esp the Crack years compared to now. Also crimes are committed by the children and grandchildren of those born during those decades.
Not to be political but many who resides in other states want to move to NYC and other Northeastern states due to actual fear due to their laws. If NYC was less expensive they will move faster due to their personal beliefs.
We watch your videos each time they come out. We have no desire to live in NYC, we just watch to remind ourselves how good we have it where we live.

Dan, your kitty is cute!!!
Politics are ruining the city and it is a shame because NYC is a wonderful place but starting to get even more dangerous.
New York City used to be a magical wonderland. It began a steep decline in the second half of the teens - and then rapidly descended much further in the early twenties. Hope that it will begin to improve again in a few years and that the magic will come back by the end of the decade. As always, appreciate your videos.
Yup
Go ahead bite theBig🍎Apple
Don't mind the MAGGGOTS 🐛🐛🐛
You think 2012 was peak New York magic? How old are you lmao 💀
@@ultraviolettas "Peak" in its history? No. Best since the 1970s? Absolutely.
@@joshualebowitz interesting, are you a New Yorker yourself? I’m a born and raised New Yorker (grew up on 96th and Lex). What makes you think 2012 was best since the 70s? They’re so drastically different
@@ultraviolettas Indeed, I am a New Yorker and have been since the 1970s. The mid-70s were the famous Daily News headline "Ford to City, Drop Dead," but New York City, as always, began to improve towards the end of the decade. By the mid-1980s, it seemed like NYC was destined to be magical again, when an unfortunate renewed decline began towards the end of the decade. The city remained less than ideal throughout the early to mid-1990s, however, by the end of the 1990s, NYC was hitting new heights, especially in terms of safety and opportunity, and seemed unstoppable as we moved into the new millennium. Sadly, the tragedy in 2001 ended all of that and New York slowly spent the next decade rebuilding its momentum. By 2008-2009, NYC was starting to hit new heights that it hadn't seen in decades. By the early 2010s, safety and opportunity were in a record position and it seemed like there was nothing that NYC couldn't achieve. By mid-2014 into 2015, unfortunately, it became clear that NYC was losing its momentum and it started to slowly decline towards the end of the decade. By 2019, one could already feel the decrease in quality of life all over the city. The beginning of the pandemic, in early 2020, then decimated the city. For a variety of reasons, subsequent to such time, despite the less than ideal newly launched "We Love NYC" campaign, NYC is nowhere near where it was just a decade ago. NYC always rebounds and it will again. It can't be held down and its best days remain ahead of it.
And new Yorkers make fun of poor people and trailer parks in the south
We’re snotty elites in NYC. The people in Trailer Parks have more common sense, than we do. And we only continue to triple down, on what’s kill our City. The people in those states have my respect 🫡
No, we don't. Not all New Yorkers are rich. Most aren't. We don't spend are time thinking or talking about trailer parks in the south. Housing is housing. Only a**holes make fun of people for where they live. You don't think there are wealthy Southerners who make fun of those living in trailer parks?
Same stuff with violence is happening in Toronto, especially transit (subways/streetcars/buses) and more street violence as well. The rents are also insane, so you pretty much described Toronto and Vancouver sadly.
We are going to NYC in the Summer. I've been there a few times and love going back. We are bringing our teenage boys! We spent half our honeymoon here, and another half in DC. It was 2002 and we felt that staying state-side and expressing unity with both cities was ideal. Our kids will finally experience what they didn't get as a military family; culture!!. Thanks so much, Cash. Your videos are terrific: to the point yet cover the important points about each apt. Beautiful fam you have!
NYC is a dump and I wouldn't spent any money or time there. Your children won't be safe.
Bring a stun gun and rat poison ....my daughter lives there. It's a cesspool...don't trip over the homeless folks all over the sidewalks...some culture..pftt
Enjoy your visit to the Big Apple.
Don't let them scare you lol..
(But be on your guard)
Great switch up on content Cash! You are so great at informing people about anything: Apartments, funky shops and eateries around town to get fake coffee, brooms, cheap Vitamin Water, or produce at! ;) And now, informing us about the subway and NY crime. You are so gifted at creating informational/tour commentary with a little spice: humor! Keep shining because you win with any content you choose to create! :)
Crime and cost of living are 2 major reasons people are leaving. Like most major cities.
People get what they vote for. If they want the wonders of the USSR in NYC, then they can also live in a gulag of a city.
Congrats on being first🌸
That’s what they want! For people to leave.
Until NYC gets back Stop and Frisk days, crime will continue to climb. Bail reform is the worse idea ever to come to this country. And, don't forget rents. Average persons making less than 100,000 can't afford to live anywhere in the 5 boroughs. And, that's a damn shame..
Stop and frisk was a total failure....and your probably kool with it because it probably never happened to you....
Stop and frisk doesn't reduce crime. It's a harmful practice that causes more damage than it prevents. The worst thing that's happening is how much rent has gone up, and people are getting priced out, but it's simply not true that you can't live here if you make under $100,000, especially in the outer boroughs (not Manhattan).
Hi Cash, I'm so glad to see you still have an office that makes sense. I think you should win some kind of prize for all the apartments and neighborhoods you show. Who else has the agility "to leap tall buildings in a single bound?"
Lol! Good one!😂
Right on the Money , Cash 💸 😉
I lived in NYC for 60 years. I moved to another state and watching as an observer is very upsetting. I hope NYC survives.
this is happening all over not just there. enjoy the videos
But it’s mainly worse in New York cause of their soft on crime policies and letting felons run the place, that’s why most are leaving in droves and headed towards Florida or Texas those two places do have crime but it’s usually in a smaller city that’s completely woke while the rest of the cities they can’t get away with that
California is bad as well too especially the Bay Area and Southern California those two places don’t have enforced laws since both mayors are soft on crime and won’t go after POC cause it’s racist so they just let the POCs run wild because of that stores have permanently closed due to felons coming in and stealing everything in sight
Cash should probably watch Black Conservative Perspective as he’s always got a video of criminals going crazy in New York or killing each other in New York
Keep criminals in jail. Until that happens NYC is over.
If they did that, there wouldn't be anyone left to run the city!

@Cal Anon 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@calanon534 Who's "running" it now?
@@radiumrickshaw9920 Ooooh.. also a good one.
Thanks, Cash! A most informative and very needed video. Having spent my working years in one of the largest American cities, I remember the 1960s as being on-the-whole safe, day and night. That same city has areas where visiting at any time would be unthinkable in 2023. The filth, the crime, the disregard for others is shocking.
As for working from home, I've been retired for 15 years and the thing I miss most is the week-day office camaraderie. IMO, those who spend their lives in home offices without real need are missing out by not having face-to-face human interaction. Friendly co-workers in offices just a few feet away, office luncheons and holiday parties, celebrating together when individuals get employee-of-the-month bonuses and promotions--these are things you remember fondly after your retirement. I even miss the hour commute on occasion...LOL...but not very much.
Stay safe out there!
Im so sick of people saying remote workers are missing out on human contact. Does it occur to folks that those same remote workers have families, friends, and neighbors? I chose not to socialize with co-workers to avoid office drama. Work is work. I'd rather be home with my family. Now I am.
I was in NYC visiting last month. I caught the subway from LaGuardia to Midtown. Out of nowhere a lady started screaming and spitting at people. Everyone cleared the train car so I went with them. I ended up having to walk several blocks to my hotel but I was spooked. I ended up catching an Uber back to airport when it was time to leave. Too much going on in NYC subway stations. But I still have a lot of love for New York and always will.
Crazy lives everywhere-
Same thing happened to me on the R train on the way from LaGuardia to Bayridge. A woman boarded the train, instantly berating an older Asian gentleman then turning her attention to a younger Asian woman, verbally assaulting her with a sexual tirade of insults. I looked around the train and everyone looked petrified. I even contemplated sucker punching the crazy woman as I had a clear shot at the side of her head had she become physically assaultive.
Haha, that is normal for NYC. It is still very safe
Even after the government deliberately released prisoners to the streets in 2020 and purposefully brought poor immigrants from Mexico and afghan people from Afghanistan, even then NYC is pretty quet, safe and peacefull. I mean it is the same as before 2020 - nothing bad is really happening. And subways are even better and cleaner now, less homeless people here for some reason. But government is trying to freak out people with this kind of fake news and staged videos of crimes. Criminal government. I live in Manhattan, I know what Im talking about. It looks like they want people to flee NYC. You'll not see any crimes here if you turn off the TV.
There's no subway at LGA...
Ever since I visited New York before my semester abroad in the mid west, I wanted to move to New York for some time in my life. To be fair, it was mid pandemic in august 2021… but now that the city is in decline to that extent I really doubt I will ever live there
The city is not in decline lol.
I love your videos with you and Charles, but I really love your reality check today. Very informative 😊
As a European it's crazy to see how screwed the US is. We even leave our doors unlocked and let babies sleep outside without being watched and nothing happenes. Also the time I visited Manhattan, streets smelled bad, sirens every minute, food full of sugar & fat, trash and dirt everywhere etc. My expectations were let down, it's much more beautiful to stay in Germany. Hope the US will fix their issues.
Hey mate I’m a usa citizen and I wanted to touch on this issue I would highly advise you to not go to New York City again and visit other states in america the cities are much more beautiful there
Not really.
I really enjoyed this video . I use to be a huge fan of going to Manhattan. I haven’t gone in 10 years because my husband and I are a little frightened given our age . My nephew is NYPD and they are not paid nearly enough and they are expected on their day off to walk the platforms of the subways. I only hope that you are correct that things are headed up 😊😊
It's a bs. Fake news. Even after the government deliberately released prisoners to the streets in 2020 and purposefully brought poor immigrants from Mexico and afghan people from Afghanistan, even then NYC is pretty quet, safe and peacefull. I mean it is the same as before 2020 - nothing bad is really happening. And subways are even better and cleaner now, less homeless people here for some reason. But government is trying to freak out people with this kind of fake news and staged videos of crimes. Criminal government. I live in Manhattan, I know what Im talking about. It looks like they want people to flee NYC. You'll not see any crimes here if you turn off the TV.
NYPD are not paid enough....... bruh I CANT 🤣 Their budget is almost $11 billion.... with a B..... keep licking those boots
You are so great Cash, love these In -depth vids you do on New York. My opinion is like here (Portland and suburbs) there is a huge increase in all crimes because there is not even a threat of any sort of actual PUNISHMENT, our cops have to be so restrained in reaction to anything now,it is pretty much a sad free-for-all. Hoping for change soon but not holding my breath! Take care of your precious family🤓
And yet people in both cities keep voting for the same party responsible for the mayhem. The irony is that they call these policies "Progressive". It's an ideology based on resentment and hellbent on destruction.
The police might as well be defunded and funding given to Blackwater.
It ain't just the cops. It's your DA, too. Oh, and judges. Wait, I forgot your city council and mayor.
@@MizJilly Yup! It's EVERYTHING. They have infected everything with their ideology.
I mean..you get the results of the laws the people you vote for pass...only one way to change it.
Crime is def up but nowhere as dangerous as 80’s 90’s or early 2000’s so a bit of a stretch but we ain’t DOOMED
Maybe so, but we have it on camera now and it looks like a horrible place to live.
Jordan, I know you love NYC but take my advice...Get out while you still can..You now have a great family which should make you even more concerned about where you live!!!!
We had the same problem in London concerning police recruitment. All police officers who can't afford to live in London (and not give a room in police houses) are given Free transport to and from london. So you could live 50 miles away where it's cheaper but still be able to get to work for free.
That is if there is not a train strike and you want to get home just in time to go to bed get up and start all over again. I know, I've had some!
I'm from NYC usually come back once or twice a year to see family. Finally got to come back this past December. It honestly made me sad. Nothing stays the same but compared to 2019 just so different 😔
The worst thing we did in NYC was continue the Shut Down crap. So many who made the City function. Said “F it! We’re out!”
@@lisaroberts8556 We can move past that though. The city is alive again. No need to harp on the covid era.
This just can't be! Just two days ago the mayor of New York declared that New York has the lowest crime of any major city in the USA!
You know, maybe if the city went after the empty office tower owners to convert their office space to living or mixed use, rents wouldn't be so high, there would be more foot traffic from work from home people, and probably less crime. All of the crime mentioned I'm this video is almost always linked to cost of living increases outside of the ability of the local wage earner to adjust to.
Dude, it seems like all the problems in NYC come down to this: everything is costing too much, leaving people with few options...one of which is crime. Not just in NYC, but pretty much all major urban areas have the same issues now. Lower your rents, see what happens when people can afford to pay them.
It seems like people just glossed over the fact that NYC was just announced as the most expensive city in the world. It's the gaslighting that's creating an issue. Things are getting more and more expensive. People working full time can barely afford their rent. 1 bag of groceries can easily go above $100. Yet Real Estate agents say things like, it's ONLY $3000 for box apartments in two fare zones.
@@johnfredericks4376 because everyone wants to move to the big apple. So they raise the prices to those who wants to live there that they’ll sell an arm and leg for a shoe box
Remarkably the transit systems in some major cities in other parts of the world are super clean, safe, and work on an “honor system” where you purchase a ticket to ride and “validate” the ticket when you get on the trolley. No turnstiles. It works because the cities are well run and the culture is different. I’m a native New Yorker. NYC goes through cycles of good and bad periods. Often tied to competency of the mayor in office. The Bloomberg years were terrific.
If you are thinking about visiting NYC, just be smart. Walk with purpose. No fancy jewelry. No expensive handbags. Don’t talk to people who seem to want something from you. Blend in. Know where you are going. You should be fine.
So basically “u will be fine as long as you live in fear”
The crime in the city doesnt bother me, but the lack of people and energy does. That great swirl of energy of nyc hustle & bustle hasnt come back, may be because of remote work, and city still feels depleted when ever I travel into Manhattan.
You need to get your family to a safe spot in the burbs. They would be much happier.
The suburbs are not problem free either crime is everywhere.
@@r.pres.4121nowhere is crime free.. the goal is to reduce the chance of crime on your family which usually means leaving the main city. Just moving to the burbs can lower your chances
So sad.
NYC was such a cool melting pot of all societies.
Should have voted Zeldon for Gov.
Houchul is a mess, and Eric Adams just took the Mayor job for the party.
You guys are so screwed. 😒
Cash- What a great personable and well presented performance. Do a follow up to keep your audience informed. These installments can become a series. Keep going! Your family is so adorable. 👏👏👏👏☮️
Even with China's strict government, you see their cities and they're insanely insanely clean and there's so little crime. NYC just feels....I don't know, old.
Hope you newborn daughter is healthy and doing well.
No city or state income tax for Police would attract a lot more applicants even if pay is not increased.
Honestly that sounds reasonable, and simple to implement.
@Smoggington because they want your money duh. The only states that doesn’t have income tax are New Hampshire, Tennessee, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Alaska, Washington, and Wyoming.
Nothing more dystopian than taking the puny amount of funding that libraries get and adding that to the already massive NYPD budget...the inefficiency in that department is staggering but hey they're untouchable
Some one is lining their pockets- follow the greed Oops money and you'll find out
@@susannpatton2893 Well it is the Democratic Party's city.. Whenever a Democrat is in office there will always be somoene stealing money to stay in power.
Becuase scumbags and apes of New York knows every interaction with NYPD is a possible lawsuit.. This is why these people are so disrespectful and dont listen and over-dramatize everything. a cop cant even put hands on these criminals now.. without these people crying.
Imagine thinking public libraries are more than just homeless ppls sink showers 😅
They can also tax Wallstreet, there is money in this city, just not for the working class that keeps this city running.
thanks for the very, very brief update on your family and the photo of your daughters. So sweet.
This might get buried, but the cop pay thing was done on purpose by the police union years ago to put the budget burden on new cops instead of the one who have been in the force for years, like the ones who run the union.
" Mayor Bloomberg placed the blame for the low starting pay on the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, claiming the union wanted to go to binding arbitration rather than negotiate with the city and then agreed to the reduction in order to enhance the wallets of existing members.
“[It] was done at the request of the PBA,” Bloomberg said. “They wanted to move monies from those who hadn’t joined the department to those who’ve been there a long time.”
I love that "New York City life hack" guy who @2:40 described how he gets a legitimately free transfer.
As someone who lives in NYC, I have to say, I absolutely hate it here. People are terrible to each other. I can not wait to move to Charleston, where people are decent to each other.
Charleston is great!
I was born and raised in Queens. This degradation of the city in terms of crime is cyclical. This reminds me of the late 80’s early 90’s. All of this is consistent with what the subway was like when I was in high school. Crime comes along with the vastness of the system and population. It will cycle out again as the economy improves. The city never has the resources to cover everything. Most people can’t afford to live in Manhattan. They always figure out how to recruit and attract more police. Bryant park library is the most beautiful. Spent many hours there. Keeping rent high also keeps people spending money on travel, subway, tolls etc.
Wait cause according to your savior Biden there is nothing wrong with the economy. Wages up unemployment at its lowest ever… so where is the prosperity??? New York is dead!!
You couldn't pay me to visit NYC let alone live in that dump where the criminals have more rights than the average citizen.
Early 2000s was pretty cool. I could ride the subway at 3am and it was packed. It was one of the safest cities since the 90s. But it has not yet become the 70s and 80’s and I don’t feel it has improved from two years ago recently.
yeah 💪 please do more city excursions. And your family is so cute. Would love to see more of NY and of course more of your family life. Looking forward to your trip to Japan!
Keep that beautiful family of yours safe, you too Cash stay safe ❤
I've grew up, and lived here my whole life. I do anything to not take the subway. Whether that's crashing in my friend's car, walking or, my favorite method, taking my bike from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The subway experience is just plainly unpleasant.
Remember Rudy? I do,best mayor ever!
Great video, Cash. NYC is my favorite city in the world, but I noticed things were going downhill when I was there in 2019. I don’t plan to go back until things are cleaned up - crime, trash, panhandlers, etc.
It wasn't that bad, I just don't go in the wrong places that's all.
Just know that Cash has an agenda and is using this title for clicks. He is lying and misleading people. Google “NYPD crime statistics” and you will see while the crime is up in the last three years, it’s nowhere near 20 years ago. And almost the same as in 2010 (a time when people celebrated low crime). In 1992, there was 2400 murders in the city. In 2022 , there was about 400ish. The problem in the 80s was everyone was leaving and their were empty bombed out buildings. The problem today is everyone lives there and the rent is so high no one can afford it. And gentrification is everywhere.
I can see all these issues not being fix nor tended to any time soon. and it's sad for one the subways are only cleaned now due to Covid which is utterly hilarious but they still dirty as hell, no help for littering most in my building throw more stuff out the window than using actual garbage bags it's sad.
The homeless issue is so bad, where can they go!? and get mental help if needed!? most us just living in this city need mental help at this point!
With work-from-home the city is losing money but the landlords charging exorbitant rents have contributed greatly to this issue and driven people out of the city. Many have said it before--those empty office buildings can be made into apartments (that people can afford). Then everyone who works from home can make those areas home and spend their money there. To try to force people back to work so they spend their money at the businesses around work, but can't afford to live around work, is ridiculous.
Comparing crime data from pre-covid to post-covid is disingenuous. Covid caused a major global upheaval affecting all aspects of life across the world. Crime in NYC IS on its way down (you can check the NYPD crime data site) save for grand larceny. Perhaps the landlords charging the exorbitant commercial rents should be required to provide security for their tenants.
Same thing with San Francisco. Work from home during the pandemic made 70K+ people leave that overpriced pit.
I'm a life long New Yorker who has not taken the subway in years. Fortunately for me, I live in Manhattan and no longer have to venture out to the boroughs which are difficult to access by bus. You bring up so many great safety points but one that stands out is not taking your phone out. First, you have to be aware of what is going on around you at ALL times; second, someone can easily snatch your phone and/or toss it onto the tracks which sometimes leads to three, NEVER go there to grab your phone, wallet, etc.
I was in midtown yesterday and it seems even more empty than a year ago. Cafes and restaurants have closed due to no lunch business and it's downright depressing.
Congrats on your beautiful family. Be well and thanks for the great videos.
Yes, but be honest that NYC did not really change since 2019. I live in Manhattan too. Actually streets are more quiet and empty now. Subways are cleaner and peaceful. No crimes are really happening in fact. "Crimes" are only in fake news. Believe your own eyes and ears, and not to those criminal governors, mayors, mass media and filmmakers.
Even after the government deliberately released prisoners to the streets in 2020 and purposefully brought thousands of poor immigrants from Mexico in busses and afghan people from Afghanistan, even then NYC is pretty quet, safe and peacefull. I mean it is the same as before 2020 - nothing bad is really happening. And subways are even better and cleaner now, less homeless people here for some reason. But government is trying to freak out people with this kind of fake news and staged videos of crimes. Criminal government. I live in Manhattan, I know what Im talking about. It looks like they want people to flee NYC. You'll not see any crimes here if you turn off the TV.
This is ridiculous. If you actually went on the subway, you would see that nearly everyone is on their phone. Please stop this fear mongering. You should always be aware of your surroundings regardless of where you are, large city or small town. This is common sense. It's sad to me to read that a supposed lifelong New Yorker lives in fear and seems to be constrained to some Manhattan bubble rather than embracing the life and character of this incredible city.

IKR. I didn't expect him to be dogging NYC that way. All I can figure is maybe because of the new baby he got over protected or someone offered him a better job out of town. It's too bad though.
Always enjoy your slice of life videos
Why can't they turn the empty office buildings into affordable housing for those on a pay scale like the first year police?
NYC and Sam Francisco are thinking of exploring this but it’s got many hurdles, like bathrooms would need to be added so that means lots of plumbing to be added unless everyone is willing to use communal bathrooms but still most office buildings.
And in San Francisco their earthquake building codes are different between commercial and residential so they are exploring relaxing codes to enable a conversion but is that worth it in the event o a large earthquake?
In Baton Rouge they did that. They took a hospital, covering several square blocks of multiple large buildings. They could literally house well over a thousand people at this Police Headquarters.
It's the "Old" (not the "NEW" one built down the road with SAME EXACT name) Woman's Hospital, on Airline Highway. Next to Circle K, if you want to Google it.
Thank you Cash for your timely and informative podcasts especially today's😊
Maybe if they taxed the wealthiest folks they would have the money for what the city needs.
The wealthy owns NYC. Just like Chicago.
Serious question if Jordan obviously doesn't like being in NYC why does he still stay there?
I sadly was one of those kids that got on the subway free as kid😏mostly did it for the thrill of the chase. Now as an adult i feel horrible i did that.
Here's a crazy idea, maybe convert those unused commercial buildings into residential or mix-use buildings. That would be too convenient though.
That so many on here comment that these videos are “informative” is deeply saddening to me as a native NYer who has lived here my entire life and grew up during some of the worst periods and has been robbed multiple times as a kid.
These are NOT informative. I could write a 1000 word essay explaining why, but let me say that these videos are EXACTLY what will make things worse and DO NOT help at all other than scare certain types and feed into basically propaganda.
Please note I AM NOT denying the existence or increase in problems.
I don’t love these videos AT ALL. It’s the opposite because they are painful to watch and hear others chime in thinking they are truth.
Know your history. New York has been here before, and it shall rise again.
Yeah as a flight attendant I would take the bus, or subway to get to JFK or LGA but most times I splurged for an Uber. Carrying heavy bags up and down 3 flights in a dress just didn't feel safe to me on public transportation.
Hi Cash 💸
These are the hard cold facts of NYC! Thank you for this very real reality of NYC! I love your courage on stating the truth, where others are trying to cover the ugly with lots of fake pretty!
It's not cold facts, it's fake news, which Cash is probably not aware of.
Even after the government deliberately released prisoners to the streets in 2020 and purposefully brought poor immigrants from Mexico and afghan people from Afghanistan, even then NYC is pretty quet, safe and peacefull.

I lived in NYC and was a real estate agent in Manhattan and Park Slope Brooklyn. I loved it there and always felt safe. That was 2003 so wow 20 years ago. Apparently those infants that were there are raising Cain now.
Well, it is still NYC. This video remind me that in all my time there I still never been inside the main branch of the NYPL. Need to rectify that in my next visit. Will still ride the subway regardless, I survived the 1980s in it. Great video, keep them comin'!
Cash, I'm begging a favor of you: can you please stop the "doom and gloom" titles of the death of NYC! NYC is doing quiet well that's why anyone with ambition wants to move here to Oz😅!
Conspicuously absent from the video are the REASONS crime and homelessness are on the rise. Insane rents brought on by developing companies, inflation caused by various geopolitical factors but also companies themselves simply wanting to increase profits, and stagnant wages all lead to a lack of opportunity, which is why the amount of homeless increases and the property crimes increase as well. The only people able to afford the city tend to be wealthier and thus more likely to be targets.
I worked for a single owner real estate company some years back. He had a very nice office at 1040 Ave of the Americas and I enjoyed bringing prospective clients there to discuss and show them it wasn't a fly by night operation. That's gone and he set up within another established RE office. Sorry to see you've dropped your office but yes, We Work is a good option when needed. As for crime, the worst thing was no cash bail as it created a revolving door putting perps back on the street in hours. During my entire work life in NYC and my hang out days of playing gigs in every club from the east village to the Apollo Theatre into the wee hours, I've never been accosted on the streets or in the subway. Times have changed indeed. Best to you and your Family Cash. Take care and be well.
This is a great video- so informative! My favorite part was seeing a photo of your daughters. I hope they and your wife are doing well! Truly, this was an insightful video. I hope it gets lots of views.
I LOVE these little films and I don't even live in NY or with probably never visit. Very well produced Cash.
lucky you i wanted out of here since 2012
I’ve helped hundreds of moms haul their strollers up and down subway stairs. even pre pandemic I didn’t know how they could travel thru the system with stroller & kids. shoutout to the mothers❤
My jaw dropped when I saw your "office". I've been following you for a bit. So this was shocking. Imagine so many other companies going through this. I hear they're planning on turning many empty offices into housing. I remember how busy it used to be working in NY. So many people. Now it's turning into a ghost town except for tourists. We're moving from NY too. It's truly sad.
I started watching your videos to get a feel for urban spaces. I write science fiction so a feel for modern apartments helps convey the space (or lack there of) characters may still experience in urban spaces in the future.
The things you brought up do not surprise me. With very few exceptions, the cheapest apartments you've shown me go for about $1000 a month and are still in very rough-looking neighborhoods, do not have laundry facilities in the apartment itself, and are less then a fifth the size of my townhouse in Northeastern Pennsylvania. A three bed, 1and 3/4ths bath, house where I pay a little more then half of the average low-end rent. And that's the scuzzy end of the city. The parts where an outsider would like to live, the parts where you can leave your place without packing something, cost at least double for an entry-level place. Meanwhile, the micro-apartments seen in Japan may be little more then glorified closets but at least they're priced at a rate people can afford and placed in decent-looking neighborhoods.
The only thing more concerning about the crime is the lack of police and how the mayor plans on paying officers something closer to what they're worth. It's understandable why people are leaving the NYPD; unfortunately that's a nationwide problem, not just a New York one. Unsurprisingly high risk, surprisingly low pay, and some VERY LOUD groups calling to vilify them and cut their budgets further. No wonder there's less of them then normal.
Though on the flipside, slashing library funding is not a good idea. Not without asking a bunch of questions first. Do the libraries of NYC have afterschool programs? Those help keep kids occupied until their parents can pick them up. Do the libraries maintain public access computer labs? Those help people that don't have a computer apply for jobs? Adult learning courses? Those can help teach job skills. Cutting any of these things can indirectly lead to an increase in various kinds of crime.
Just know that Cash has an agenda and is using this title for clicks. He is lying and misleading people.

And there is no lack of police!! Y’all literally don’t even live here. There is more police in the subways now then I ever remembered!
I appreciate the videos where you give a realistic assessment of what NYC is really like.
I wish there was a law that for every day an apartment is empty, the monthly rent should go down $100.
Also, empty office buildings should be turned into apartments.
If the NYPD can't afford to live here how do you think the regular Joe Shmoe feels. The ppl in retail, fast food, Amazon workers stand no chance. I don't condone crime in any kind of way but the more you raise the price of rent, gas, and food the more crime is going to happen. I feel it's only going to get worse. I pray for everyone's safety who's reading this.
Hi Cash and to your friend so sorry to hear that New York City is getting worse. So is California. So much high rent, very awful crimes, wrong way drivers, and everything is getting expensive. Hope all is well with you all 👍😔most of please stay safe 👍
