You are correct about this. After Katrina, a lot of good hearted people who had empty apartments and houses, some in the French Quarter where the rents are sky high, let homeless victims of the storm stay for free whilst the government tried to get things under control. Some people who were given shelter in these private homes for FREE tore them to shreds. The owners said "never again...."

It’s puzzling to see 5,600 apartments sitting empty while so many are homeless. But here’s a question: if you owned a home, would you be willing to let homeless individuals, even those who refuse to work, live there for free? It’s a complex issue that requires careful consideration
Puzzle solved dude, they spent all the money on illegals and themselves, they have no money left, that's why they can't let other people live there now cuz they'ed have to fund it, and they grifted all the money.
I have taken in 4 homeless people all strangers men n women n they didn't have a penny n I had just lost my father but had room for them . Three I took in the winter and one in the summer. Here's my issue with people you wouldn't leave an animal on the streets why would you leave a human being on the streets with no where to sleep to close their eyes for awhile nothing to drink nothing to eat how can this great country leave their people outside when their is tons of empty buildings n houses everywhere. Homeless shelters aren't an answer in my area there's one shelter in the middle of at least 3 counties. These people I took in didn't steal off me they weren't violent. They were able to use a phone to look for resources to get back on their feet . I don't understand this world
Yeah and we also need to realize that Big cities are for the more wealthy and/or smarter people. All the talent from around the area moves there to compete (and in NY that area is the World) and you think your going make your poor situation work, that really doesn't make sense.
@@BlackHoleOfTimethat honestly made the most sense to me. I never understood my cousins wanting to be next to all the city life in Manhattan but complain about the cost of everything there. Even here in florida you have to live on the outskirts and work inward towards to city to be financially sound.
Why??? NY is like the capital of the world or at least one of a few. Billions in the world would like to go to NY. Are you gonna build billions of homes in Manhattan????
NYC wants out of low-income housing. There is rampant abuse of city owned apartments, which I've seen first hand. Qualifying for such an apartment is determined by a household's income. If household income goes over a certain amount, the household doesn't get a city apartment. Almost every city owned unit contains at least one person who is 'off-lease'. This is how it works: Baby-mama who has little or no income, but does have some dependent minor children applies for the apartment. Baby-daddy, who works full time, moves in and uses a mail drop. There may be other employed household members residing in the apartment as well. The combined household income would disqualify the household for low income housing if they had all the people on the lease. That's why you can walk through the parking lot of a city housing project and see new BMW, Benz, Ranger Rover and the like. People walking around dressed in Canada Goose and carrying the latest iProducts. The city does not want to take direct action to stop the abuse because it would be political suicide. Instead the city allows the buildings to run down to the point where the building is closed because it becomes unfit for habitation. The property is then sold off to a private developer under the guise of 'urban renewal'.
Probably the latter. Subsaharans, semi nomadic people that once they exhausted resources of another region move to another to make it as desolate where they came from.
i lived in NYC for 40 years,, and id have to say there is no reason to live there anymore. low quality of life, expensive, and dangerous... 3 years ago I moved to another country , best decision of my life
With these empty apartments, it does seem that the companies that own them are being paid for failure. Now is the time for a crack down on the said paid for failure companies.
What makes it sadder is that all these promotions of good life in NYC are everywhere and right under them is a sleeping homeless person that most likely came here because of hearing if them or seeing them
In my part of the world, a squatter has rights if their mail has arrived to that address for seven years without any legal argument. I've had to use squatter's rights against my parents to stay in the family home.

I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make.

I grew up in a Project in Manhattan. You gotta pay rent. Your rent is subsidized by taxpayers. The problem people don’t talk about is the absence of the nuclear family unit. I know because that was my situation as well. Also people depending on the government. I know families that have lived in the Projects for decades. They hand down the apartments to their kids and so on.

My sister has a realtor that has 3 empty house. She might sell the but she won’t rent them. They just sit empty. This is in Maspeth Queens. She said it cost to much in fees to rent, it takes years to evict and the horror stories of tenants are to scary. So for the last two years they just sit vacant. Crazy. We sold our two family during pandemic. Our good paying tenants had to leave and we didn’t want to risk it. We sold to a Chinese woman who was converting it to 3 family. They only rent within their own community and I think they gave their own enforcement if you don’t pay the rent.
And rino's..! I always say the difference between a Democrat and a rhino is a Democrat screws us in the closet and denies it on the news the next day, and the Rino takes us down to the town square and f****s us and brags about it on the news the next day. But they're both f*****g us.
That old witch Thatcher reportedly said that, while her country was reeling with homeless and jobless, and Russia had none of those social evils, and still doesn't. But UK had got worse!😂 Big w*h*re U$A spent $trillions on its wars and $billions on supporting wars. Who is "running out of money" to care for its own people?😂
People with low income have no pride in the spaces they live in. People who take care of the apartments they live in are rarely evicted because they save the landlord a whole lot of money.
Not true. I'm a low income person and I always treated my residence(s) as if I owned it. It's only been recently (I'm almost 70) that I can't do all the upkeep myself).
@@LoLa-OR The exception does not make the rule... You can't even speak on this subject unless you've rented to low income people. You just don't know, you only have anecdotal evidence of yourself.
For anyone criticizing the owners of empty apartments. Would you let someone live in them? Free? Who pays utilities? Who pays for upkeep? You know you wouldn't let someone live there free and take on all the costs associated with it.
Zelensky got around 100 billion dollars for his wars...so I think Americans could have used that money. Zelensky got it for free, out of love, lol, he won't give back anything for that amount...just chiming in from Europe, lol.
No one said for free, but i think we can all agree it should be illegal for landlords/wealthy real estate owners to hoard housing and not have any intention to try to rent it out. There should be regulations that enforce your properties to be rented or sold out by a certain time after purchasing.
That shows you how much NYC officials care. How much money have they spent on illegal immigrants? How many billions they spent on the homeless population with no results but a worst problem every single year? Someone and son organizations are stealing the tax payer money who’s supposed to help our most needy. Why aren’t people complaining about that?
People are so naive here. Put yourself in landlords shoes. You let these people in, they’ll never leave. Why don’t you let these people into your apartment?
I don’t know how many times we have to say it. You do not want to get the government involved. Chances are they will pass a law that does not benefit the common people in the least and then everyone will get angry and regret getting the government involved. It happens all the time. Stop getting the government involved. They are reason why everything is messed up as it is.
@@margaretthatcher6828not the government, it’s the people who are hired to do that job. Many people don’t care to move things along or get anything done when they get paid to do nothing. So, it’s the people who are hired to do these jobs that are to blame. Look at how many people have been caught stealing money from these programs and line their pockets. We need more honest people who genuinely care for their constituents instead of those with a selfish agenda.
"and here we have a government agency designed to help people but isn't doing that", yes, but not just NYCHA. pretty much every govt agency. it's almost like their jobs depend on the problems never being solved...

The problem is not that the apartments are vacant for 5-10 yrs. These apartments are deemed non inhabitable for reasons that are not trying to fixed at all, if the problems are fixed then the apartments can be used again, management thinks..do not fix the apartments and wait for them to be wanted more, so I can raise the rent & make more.
Rent will eventually decrease when these INVADERS are sent packing. May not affect NYC because for some reason people love living in a garbage can so rent may stay high there.
@ the statement that the Rich get richer and rents increase. how should it work? if you have an answer let me hear it. thanks. Rich people are Rich because they understand how money works.

Most of the problem in NYC is the unions ! They have a strangle hold on anything that needs to be fixed ! And they are in no hurry to do any work on any thing ! Just one more reason to get the heck out of the rotten apple !

the biggest problem with US is government unaccountability. in Taiwan, if you are treated badly by the local buearcacy, you can go to newspaper, local new station and ask for a interview or news segment. it will be broadcasted city wide, and the local government will be pressured to respond in shame. in the US, you are no one. governmental waste is not being reported, inefficiency is not being investigated, if you get mistreated by permitting office or DMV, no one could help you unless you are mayor's cousin.
Perhaps New York City government is working with landlords to "nudge" people out of apartments so the buildings can be used for government funded migrant housing.
You have to pay rent to live somewhere. Empty Apartments means nobody wants to live there. Perhaps the price is too high or the property is poorly managed? The point is, it's not the responsibility of the taxpayer (aka the state) to subsidize shitty landlords or pay for people to live in a place that they can no longer afford. Now... what's the solution? Live where you can afford and let the shitty landlord's building lay empty and rot. Consumers truly have the power to control it. Don't buy into it, and change will happen.
New for Reasonable People has a TH-cam channel too. I think he's in Seattle but he speaks of things all over the country. Chicago, Portland Colorado etc.
The city is not hoarding apartments. If they put people in run down places they will undoubtedly get sued unless they fix them up to code first. The apartments can’t get fixed if they squatters aren’t paying money to live there.
you know... they COULD take another look at their own regulations and codes which make affordable housing impossible... it is THEIR fault contractors reduse to build anything new near NY lol
Bad time to be booting people. This weather is insane to be outside in, im in PA a hour north of philly. It was -2 2 nights ago. My heat can barely keep up.
I saw some of the recent migrants have moved into some of those NYCHA units in Lower East Side. Im sure they were already done so across the public housing in the city.
Since when did people feel entitled to apartments for free? Just because I own vacant apartments and there's a housing crisis don't mean I'm about to let people move in for free that is a wild concept to me.
I think the government should step in and help people. They are helping migrants like crazy, id rather our citizens got it. Thats what i feel taxes we pay our for, for us.
@Retdf-e8s the balance is all outta wack is the problem. After WW2 a man could buy a home support his wife and afford a car while working in a factory job lol. Now a job at most factories is just not enough.
I don’t care about the lazy, or addicts who don’t want to work. You should hit rock bottom. What bothers me the most is that NO ONE WORKING FULL TIME should be homeless. Disgusting that you have a child and won’t work.
Sorry, but these are privately owned properties, and it is not their responsibility to put in homeless who are alcoholic, drug addicted, and mentally ill. This is a government issue. Always has been. Homeless don't like living by rules in shelters. Society lives by rules. Who is going to pay for the damages that are caused by some? This whole thing has a lot of layers.
I tried living with a roommate who kept the house at that temp. As an older person with medical issues I couldn't do it. I bought a space heater for my room and stayed in there all the time. She didn't like that so I ended up having to move out. And yes, I did pay the extra electric charges but she still didn't want me doing that. Staying in my room all the time bothered her, I guess. She was an odd duck.
my landlord raised my rent from 3,900 to 5,400 for a small one bedroom apt so i told my landlord i am going to move out i moved out of newyork

Makes you grateful for what you have. I pray things turn around for these people
It’s puzzling to see 5,600 apartments sitting empty while so many are homeless. But here’s a question: if you owned a home, would you be willing to let homeless individuals, even those who refuse to work, live there for free? It’s a complex issue that requires careful consideration
The issue is that they're not going to help, it's going to illegals
Puzzle solved dude, they spent all the money on illegals and themselves, they have no money left, that's why they can't let other people live there now cuz they'ed have to fund it, and they grifted all the money.
What about the "working poor"?? They are the ones suffering. Not everyone is "refusing to work" 🙄
@@AGirlHasNoName1.618 No one wants a bunch of wild animals destorying their property. Thats how most of us view it and with good cause.
I have taken in 4 homeless people all strangers men n women n they didn't have a penny n I had just lost my father but had room for them . Three I took in the winter and one in the summer. Here's my issue with people you wouldn't leave an animal on the streets why would you leave a human being on the streets with no where to sleep to close their eyes for awhile nothing to drink nothing to eat how can this great country leave their people outside when their is tons of empty buildings n houses everywhere. Homeless shelters aren't an answer in my area there's one shelter in the middle of at least 3 counties. These people I took in didn't steal off me they weren't violent. They were able to use a phone to look for resources to get back on their feet . I don't understand this world
This is all by design, all these big cities need to shut down their housing authorities and start from scratch with different incentive structures
Yeah and we also need to realize that Big cities are for the more wealthy and/or smarter people. All the talent from around the area moves there to compete (and in NY that area is the World) and you think your going make your poor situation work, that really doesn't make sense.
@@BlackHoleOfTimethat honestly made the most sense to me. I never understood my cousins wanting to be next to all the city life in Manhattan but complain about the cost of everything there. Even here in florida you have to live on the outskirts and work inward towards to city to be financially sound.
@@BlackHoleOfTimewealthy yes, smarter......no
Why??? NY is like the capital of the world or at least one of a few. Billions in the world would like to go to NY.
Are you gonna build billions of homes in Manhattan????
@@nicosa8999It's also the armpit of America. So what's your point?
I heard that most NYCHA housing is really gross. Filled with black mold, pests, crime, and utility issues (plumbing, electric, heat, etc)
Still better than sleeping outside.
NYC wants out of low-income housing. There is rampant abuse of city owned apartments, which I've seen first hand. Qualifying for such an apartment is determined by a household's income. If household income goes over a certain amount, the household doesn't get a city apartment. Almost every city owned unit contains at least one person who is 'off-lease'. This is how it works: Baby-mama who has little or no income, but does have some dependent minor children applies for the apartment. Baby-daddy, who works full time, moves in and uses a mail drop. There may be other employed household members residing in the apartment as well. The combined household income would disqualify the household for low income housing if they had all the people on the lease. That's why you can walk through the parking lot of a city housing project and see new BMW, Benz, Ranger Rover and the like. People walking around dressed in Canada Goose and carrying the latest iProducts. The city does not want to take direct action to stop the abuse because it would be political suicide. Instead the city allows the buildings to run down to the point where the building is closed because it becomes unfit for habitation. The property is then sold off to a private developer under the guise of 'urban renewal'.
@@MrSloikathis is a very thorough and succinct summarization of the issue
Crappy but costly!
Most spots in America are like that. Read renters reviews from random apts all over the country.
Even the NYC with their large budget cannot run affordable apts. How do they expect an elderly landlord to accept these impossible tenants.
Just because I don't drive my truck every day and someone finds the key. Doesn't mean they can drive it !!
I agree but the corruption needs to stop. Everything is needlessly to expensive.
I lived in a rent stabilized building.
There are 2 vacant apartments but the rent is too low for him to do repairs and previous tenants damaged them.

Yup, rent control needs to be abolished
@@shermanw711 LOL a security deposit won't cover a tenth of the costs of the damages these people do.

Serious Q: wouldn't it be better for them to rent the apt 'as is' and get some money rather than no money?
Laws against that. @@searchingfortruth619
... so are we talking about people who pay their rent or ones that live free and demand repairs ?
They don't pay, destroy the buildings and complain about the conditions.
Probably the latter.

With these empty apartments, it does seem that the companies that own them are being paid for failure. Now is the time for a crack down on the said paid for failure companies.
The problems don't change the owners change. They don't care about the people that are living in the properties that they own. It's quite simple
What a mess. We left NYC 35 years ago and never looked back.
What makes it sadder is that all these promotions of good life in NYC are everywhere and right under them is a sleeping homeless person that most likely came here because of hearing if them or seeing them
I left 45 years ago.
Good time to leave. It's been a steady decline into the sewers

I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Evelyn Infurna. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

I grew up in a Project in Manhattan. You gotta pay rent. Your rent is subsidized by taxpayers. The problem people don’t talk about is the absence of the nuclear family unit. I know because that was my situation as well. Also people depending on the government. I know families that have lived in the Projects for decades. They hand down the apartments to their kids and so on.
The problem is that many of these people DESTROY the units!!! The city CAN'T AFFORD TO REBUILD THE ENTIRE UNIT every time someone moves out.
This is why I would never rent to anyone.

My sister has a realtor that has 3 empty house. She might sell the but she won’t rent them. They just sit empty. This is in Maspeth Queens. She said it cost to much in fees to rent, it takes years to evict and the horror stories of tenants are to scary. So for the last two years they just sit vacant. Crazy. We sold our two family during pandemic. Our good paying tenants had to leave and we didn’t want to risk it. We sold to a Chinese woman who was converting it to 3 family. They only rent within their own community and I think they gave their own enforcement if you don’t pay the rent.

No one said for free, but i think we can all agree it should be illegal for landlords/wealthy real estate owners to hoard housing and not have any intention to try to rent it out. There should be regulations that enforce your properties to be rented or sold out by a certain time after purchasing.
I'm so glad you expose all this; and you do a great job in doing so. Thank you.
That shows you how much NYC officials care. How much money have they spent on illegal immigrants? How many billions they spent on the homeless population with no results but a worst problem every single year? Someone and son organizations are stealing the tax payer money who’s supposed to help our most needy. Why aren’t people complaining about that?

The problem is not that the apartments are vacant for 5-10 yrs.

@AngeleAlAahnnAn as true as that is. That is not the point here and has nothing to do with my original comment. Your point has been made
You have to pay rent to live somewhere. Empty Apartments means nobody wants to live there. Perhaps the price is too high or the property is poorly managed? The point is, it's not the responsibility of the taxpayer (aka the state) to subsidize shitty landlords or pay for people to live in a place that they can no longer afford. Now... what's the solution? Live where you can afford and let the shitty landlord's building lay empty and rot.
Consumers truly have the power to control it. Don't buy into it, and change will happen.
In Rent Control cities, rental increases to cover the expense of renovations are not allowed.

The city is not hoarding apartments. If they put people in run down places they will undoubtedly get sued unless they fix them up to code first. The apartments can’t get fixed if they squatters aren’t paying money to live there.
Yet no one is removing the squatters. And no one, after years of doing nothing, is fixing anything.
