that might be the starbucks store that put an italian coffeeshop out of business because of the flavored BS stuff, something I read in the "Vanishing NY" book
America being worse than a third world country is not something I expected to see in my lifetime. Might as well, the movies they been making haven't been that great anyways. The games have also mostly been bad.
Brazil, unfortunately, is known for violence. I lost my father when I was ten years old, victim of a criminal. My unforgettable father worked for two airlines (an excellent position) and also opened a grocery store. Bandit entered the establishment to steal and took his life. A real wreck in my life. It happened in the 80s and today I see that people tolerate crime. Don't accept what is wrong, as it could get much worse. Excellent Sunday to everyone. Keep up the work
Starbucks stock is way down. I imagine that location was very expensive rent and is the reason the employees stated the location closed= not crime. They just are restructuring. They hired a new ceo for i think 113 mil lol and have mismanaged. Cash himself calls their coffee trash and its overpriced. Starbucks is restructuring and even offering drink specials. NYC is reporting overall crime decline in 2024.
Batman left NYC and went back to Gotham City which lawlessness is easier to manage (at least they have an honest Chief of Police Commissioner Gordon). 😄😆😁
Your empty storefronts are just the tip of the iceberg. Crime is KILLING businesses and barely anyone is talking about it! Keep up the great videos Cash!
If all these stores keep closing, how are the shoplifters going to survive? This is deeply concerning, and the government needs to do something about it.
If shops fled the city, then shoplifter get arrested and locked up. Or just getting deported. Then Democrats (?) are buying up the stores locations. Cheap. Just wondering because the shops are part in a national chain and are affiliated to national brands. They are mostly the mega-donors to DNC. Will they still be mega-donor to the DNC now?
I’ve worked in NYC cafes for 20 years and I can promise you if a coffee shop doesn’t give free water to the homeless or let them use the bathroom, they will not have significant issues.
On ground level, it sounds noble, but it will certainly be their downfall. Did you all think that your leaders were actually going to end the problem after setting up anti-homeless art all over the city? Not trying to be rude i just asking for perspective from someone who is from the area cause I ain't.
What? I do not understand your comment. You are using two double negatives. Are you saying cafes will have problems unless they offer free water and use of the loo to the homeless? Or, are you saying cafes will not have problems so long as they are NOT offering free water and use of the loo to the homeless??
@@redrider7730 I know people who live under the tyranny of the People’s Republic of Cambridge. I understand. Even worse for you. They took away what you had. Well my friend, remember, the pendulum always swings back. The only question is what’s left in its wake and can it be fixed. Democrats were saying, “Build back better” when we’d all be thrilled if they put back the way they found it.
I fled a couple years ago. Sad thing is, the law abiding citizens of nyc and ny state will vote for the loonatics who endorse and protect this nightmare, over and over again.
So, I live in an area that is quite nice and have lived here for over 40 years (essentially my whole life). I haven't been to this one particular book store in over a year, but went three days ago. I noticed that all of the armchairs and couches had been removed, so no more sitting quietly and enjoying yourself with your new book. While I was checking out, a customer popped up and asked the clerk, "What's the code for the bathroom?" and the clerk gave her a quick 4-digit number. Obviously, they have also locked down the restrooms to control who goes in. Although I appreciate safety measures designed to keep control and prevent crime, it's so sad to see these changes. I had heard that the area of town that the bookstore is in has been declining because of crime and drug use, but it's still shocking when I can clearly remember how different it was even 3 years ago! I am so worried about how things will look 3 years in the future....but it's not looking good.
corporations like Starbucks and target ,and Walmart etc put money in the hands of both Democrats and Republicans so let's be real there's a lot wrong with politics in this country
people think that the homeless have nothing to do with the issues which should prove to everyone how delusional the average person is. I say accelerate. I want to see how bad this can get.
The irony of Starbucks leaving and citing crime increase is hilarious. You mean the outcome of soft on crime policies that your company and the majority of your employees champion for?

I remember when "defund the police" and "criminal justice reform" was all the sexy political rage. Politicians used to canvas our old neighborhood. I asked one why would I vote to release criminals into my neighborhood with no punishment. He told me to go and talk to the criminals. Some just need a good mentor. I sold my house and moved to another safer neighborhood in the city. There are still safe pockets. But those neighborhoods are now so expensive because the city is going down hill fast.
For a good while, Starbucks was letting homeless people/people who didn't actually purchase anything from Starbucks, just occupy seating...let them into bathrooms, etc. They set the stage.
Some of that was due to government and activist protests to let them do that. It's just another example of letting a child eat all the candy they want and then don't hold them responsible when the tummy hurts.
Starbucks is avoiding taxes in the USA. Its HQ was moved to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for avoiding taxes, and when caught by Dutch MSM, Starbucks fled to the UK for tax avoiding. IRS was misled by a post office box in London, and prior Amsterdam. Starbucks is a scam.
Starbucks should have removed the public bathroom policy. Do a card only purchases,and removed seating inside. But their policies would not let them do this.
They did the same exact random shut down in downtown Seattle the same day. They left 1912 up since it's the very first Starbucks, but I have a feeling that one will go soon too if nothing changes.
I'm a Canadian. I'm surprised at how little foot traffic and car traffic is showing in this video. NYC really is in bad shape. Thanks for your informative videos. There is no such thing as victimless crime.
the service industry needs customers. I would imagine lots of businesses decided they didn't need office space after the pandemic or decided to move due to other political decisions.
It’s busy as hell with car and foot traffic. Must have been a fairly mellow time of day, and summer can be a bit slower with lots of New Yorkers spending time out of the city.
I left at the start of Covid, not intentionally. But every week/month it became to go back. I really wish I could live there because I love the city, but the crime is something out of a comic book.
This is my thought exactly! Blank Street coffee has been expanding immensely. I go there instead of Starbucks. There’s so many other local coffee shops that have better coffee too.
I can assure you that crime and safety concerns is the one and ONLY reason these are closing. In fact here in Seattle the first ever Starbucks (accross from Pike Place Market) closed its doors recently. It was a shock to most people. That place always had a line out the door. It was a major tourist attraction, but......... the crime, homelessness, violence was too much and the cops were doing NOTHING!!! Not the cops fault though. The super pc, "woke" seattle leaders have them bogged down by ridiculous policies giving the criminals more rights than the law abiding citizens. It's crazy time people.
How bad does it have to get until you realize your vote caused this. The party you voted for made it this way. The party you voted for wants it this way. The party you vote for WILL NOT change it.
California implanted a 3 strike law. 3rd strike is years in prison even of the crime is petty theft. Tons pf criminals fled California bc they didn't want to go to prison.
Even, the Starbucks near my job closed last (?) year. Too much crime, where people would come breaking into people’s cars as they went in to get coffee. Raising Canes right next to it, they had to ban indoor dining for the same reason. Also, to say non violent crimes have no victims is the stupidest thing ever. People who had jobs are losing their only, second or third way to make more income…
The idea that a non violent crime has no victims is ridiculous. If there are no victims or negative consequences to someone’s action, there wouldn’t have been a reason to make that thing illegal in the first place.
You’d think that, but no. Never underestimate mob authoritarianism. (See Democratic and Republican parties of the United States of America for more info).
Where are your people yelling and screaming at the mayor? Let even 250,000 people protest outside of city hall and see how things will go. Keep taking it and nothing is going to change.
@@JaniceVineyard-kf6wm Does it really though? In 2016 the liberals believed the Presidential election had been stolen. In 2020 the conservatives believed the Presidential election had been stolen. Something tells me that '24 will be no different. We cannot vote our way out of top-down corruption. Both parties appear to have been captured by the powers that be.
Does anyone else sense a more sinister underlying issue with these closures, which deviate significantly from typical American business practices? It appears that criminals may have gained substantial influence within the judicial system, resulting in lawless behavior being met with complete protection and a lack of accountability, leaving victims without recourse. The current metrics and systems seem to be fundamentally flawed. If billion-dollar companies are capitulating to criminal activities and disruptive social behavior, it raises concerns for the rest of society. This suggests that there may be more significant factors at play that governments worldwide are not disclosing to the public, allowing these issues to persist unaddressed.
Kathy didn't do it, this is Bill De Blasio's legacy. Kathy just refuses to do anything about it since she is owned by Uncle Soros. Kathy can literally fire Alvin Bragg tomorrow and start pushing to remove De BLasio's progressive judges, staff, and laws BUT......... she refuses.
@@OzSpud72 Like the globalist 'progressives' pushing these insane policies are intentionally trying to collapse our capitalist, freedom based style of government so they can 'save us' by implementing their new global, marxist based government where they have complete power?
If you want a pleasant, thriving, fun, metropolis you have to keep it clean, enforce laws, put criminals in prison, and protect ordinary people and businesses just trying to survive. It's not exactly rocket science.
The problem is there's money to be made in homelessness, they tax the people and pump money on solving homelessness while really not solving it.. Ok we are about to solve homelessness if we pump in more money, just a little more, just a little more.....
I also believe that Starbucks employees at times made their disdain for cops known by refusing to serve them and/or forcing them to leave their stores. I hope everyone watching this remembers these issues when they go to vote. Remember who has allowed crime to run rampant, who declared war on the Police, and who wants to defund the Police when you vote for what you want for your country

In Hong Kong we are limited with our space. A lot of coffee shops are order and pick up only. Starbucks could have downsized and solved 90% of their problems.
I was struck by the fact that policies are beginning to call thieves "victims of society." Well, I regret to say that this is what happens in developing countries, which means that the system is going to defend the thieves and not the citizens.
But those thieves were part of another society, in Honduras, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico, Guatemala, Iran, Syria, China, and 147 other countries. Not USA, not NYC, not NY.
Simple, enforcing the law is racist. Having police is racist. Not allowing theft is racist. Not allowing car jacking is racist. Living a law abiding life is purely racist
In my town I have seen two women coming out of the Starbucks bathroom. I have seen two men coming out of the bathroom at the Starbucks. Some Starbucks locations have started removing chairs and tables from outside so homeless people won't sit there all-day with their shopping carts. 😂😂🤣🤣
@@istvanprahafamilies and how many ppl ...but more likely the illegal bs happening in there. I wouldn't wanna deal with that after knowing tht is going in there
Starbucks is a woke company and made woke rules like allowing anyone and everyone to use their bathroom instead of paying customers for one. Nothing of any value will be lost with that company closing.
Remember when Starbucks thought it a wonderful idea to let the homeless use their restrooms? Remember the virtue signaling as they patted themselves on the back for being sooooo nice.
I've noticed everywhere that is easily accessible by the 'public' is having problems, everywhere libraries, any public coffee shops, anywhere you can go for free and use bathrooms and sleep all day is a magnet.

Starbucks here in PH is popping up like McDonalds. The city near where I live has 7 starbucks coffee shops in total. (Which is not even a business district)
In Philadelphia it's been known my entire life that if your not a paying customer you can't use their restroom. Starbuck's decided to back the non paying customers 'racism' claims and sent their emplyees to be 're-educted'. Not long after Starbuck's had the bathrooms open to the homeless, let them park their shopping carts at the door, handed out free ice water and let the homeless come in to stay warm.. Soon after Starbuck's closed, as did the rest of the block including the University. Philadelphia city council was upset.
You nailed it. Have worked for a company that had two NYC cafes and only one had staff that gave out water and let homeless use the bathroom. The one that did was a total disaster, the other had zero issues.
Biden and Kamala have already betrayed the American people the last three and a half years. Now Kamala wants to be president and bring on her communist ideas
NYC also skews the crime statistics because most businesses do not report the thefts because they do not want insurance increases and they understand that these crimes are not punishable.
That's very true! My friend's store was attacked in Harlem & the perpetrator hit that man behind the counter on his face w a gun. Injured his eye badly & took off w money. The guy had no insurance & had to pay from his packet for his eye's treatment. My friend helped him w the bill, but he was so scared that he left the job anyway. Although they have everything on the camera, their is no desire to go public. It's just a waste of time. No hope to find the perpetrator either. Police couldn't care less. Nobody is prosecuting anyway. My point is that these types of things are happening every day, but it's not recorded as a crime statistic or shown on TV. Mayor wants to show low numbers of crime, so the PD doesn't bother showing it. If your boss tells you do not bother doing your job, why w'd you give a shyt in the 1st place. A few days ago, I called the police 4 times, and they didn't even show up. Unless there is a bloody murder they don't want to hear from you. And, dead is better than injured & alive bc it's less work for them. Dem-o-rats & their stupid voters are up in arms to finish w this country.
@morningbear3794 I came here 33 y.s ago w 2 degrees, no dependants, legally & worked hard to survive living in NYC. Every difficulty I lived through I had hope that the next job would be better & next y. will be better. After Giuliani's mayorialship city started going down & now in a deep abyse. One more dem-o-rat victory this will plange into pit of h*ll. It's tragic to realize that if I knew then what I knew now, I'd not waste half of my life & end up living in a dirty, full of stench city full of crime prefering illegals & favoring chaos. This admin. turned on its citizenry & ppl are so ignorant not realizing it. Bye America!
I holidayed in New York in 2004 for my 50th birthday. I remember the times I would walk back to my Midtown hotel from the Lincoln Centre near midnight. There were so many cops on the street I felt safer in NY than I ever did in any of the big UK cities I have lived in like Glasgow, Manchester or Leeds. Rudy Giuliani had really cleaned up the city. So sad to see how it has declined since. But this is what you get when you vote woke politicians into power. It is amazing how so many people can never see the connection. This kind of disaster is happening here in the UK. London has descended into violent chaos and the architect of this is the mayor, Sadiq Khan. But he keeps on getting reelected.
Hey, good morning Cash Jordan , I love watching your reporting on major issues and tropics that affect New Yorker's. My old hometown in the 90's keep up the great work Tjay from Toronto
Can those business forced out of work sue the state or NYC? For not doing their job? They put their business at stake for their political gain. And it is malpractice by NYC administration.
It's probably because the real reason they closed wasn't due to crime but due to the fact the store was unionized. If Starbucks closed stores because of crime the ones in Harlem would not be there.
In the rural red areas where my parents have lived, all but two businesses have closed there doors because the area has become too poor to even sustain business and also because everyone is on meth and disability. So what has ruined their town if not wokeness? I'm sure you'll find a way to blame that on the democrats too, even though everyone in towns like that all over the country have been voting republican for decades
@@stealthmaster96 maybe but from what I’ve seen staff from Harlem, Bronx etc have no issues drawing the line in a way that keeps crime down. It’s the young woke Midwest transplants that let bad actors walk all over them in the name of tolerance. So not too likely crime will effect that Harlem stores, while some in Chelsea are a mess.
I visited Manhattan in July for the 1st time since 2012. Very short visit but it was obvious the area we visited had gone down hill. Our hotel concierges said since Covid, NYC took a nosedive and it is getting worse. In the touristy area we were at, at least 1/2 were homeless and or immigrants with nothing to do. All we could smell was a mix of pot and piss. We saw 2 human dumps on the sidewalk. We will not be going back.

Honestly, landlords are cretins at times. I worked for a restaurant chain and during Covid the landlord decided to raise the rent despite our company telling them we wanted a rent reduction as we were loosing money. The landlord apparently not only refused but was also quite rude. As a result, taking advantage of covid, the company closed down the stores with that landlord and rendered other stores that had lowered their rent and used the fact that no client was going out to fix the restaurant. The landlord lost at least 4 locations that were with us. Many of those stores are still empty today.
Unfortunately how are you going to do that with an unhealthy and sick economy? That's what it's just so hard. There is no competitive housing market driving the cost down. It doesn't exist right now. I'm not disagreeing I'm just questioning how exactly is that going to happen right now?
@@R0YB0Thaha not really in taxes, I think you mean HOA, and that’s on top of taxes. Yes NYC is crazy unaffordable. But rentals aren’t having any issues, it’s actually a tight market and tbh as someone with a business, making well over 6 figures, I can’t afford these new luxury apt rents and opt to stay in an older building. When u see how small studios are renting for 4-6k and are all full of young ppl I’m confused af. Like where tf are these people getting this money?
@nylens471 You obviously don't own any property in NYC. It costs $1000 in property taxes for a small 1 family house. That is added into your mortgage cost and after your mortgage is paid off you still have to pay the city $1000 every month paid quarterly. Apartment building owners pay thousands per month in taxes regardless if they are fully rented or vacant. What are the chances of your 10 unit apartment building being occupied and all of your tenant paying you on time? Lol. The city has to get their money regardless so the landlord has to charge the tenants who are paying even more just to cover the rent lost by squatters just to cover their property taxes. All of the problems in this city are caused by the corrupt government.

So, I live in an area that is quite nice and have lived here for over 40 years (essentially my whole life). I haven't been to this one particular book store in over a year, but went three days ago. I noticed that all of the armchairs and couches had been removed, so no more sitting quietly and enjoying yourself with your new book. While I was checking out, a customer popped up and asked the clerk, "What's the code for the bathroom?" and the clerk gave her a quick 4-digit number. Obviously, they have also locked down the restrooms to control who goes in. Although I appreciate safety measures designed to keep control and prevent crime, it's so sad to see these changes. I had heard that the area of town that the bookstore is in has been declining because of crime and drug use, but it's still shocking when I can clearly remember how different it was even 3 years ago! I am so worried about how things will look 3 years in the future....but it's not looking good.

For a good while, Starbucks was letting homeless people/people who didn't actually purchase anything from Starbucks, just occupy seating...let them into bathrooms, etc. They set the stage.

Some of that was due to government and activist protests to let them do that. It's just another example of letting a child eat all the candy they want and then don't hold them responsible when the tummy hurts.

In fact here in Seattle the first ever Starbucks (accross from Pike Place Market) closed its doors recently.

Does anyone else sense a more sinister underlying issue with these closures, which deviate significantly from typical American business practices? It appears that criminals may have gained substantial influence within the judicial system, resulting in lawless behavior being met with complete protection and a lack of accountability, leaving victims without recourse. The current metrics and systems seem to be fundamentally flawed. If billion-dollar companies are capitulating to criminal activities and disruptive social behavior, it raises concerns for the rest of society. This suggests that there may be more significant factors at play that governments worldwide are not disclosing to the public, allowing these issues to persist unaddressed.

After he moved away from NYC, I only went there a few times over the next 20 years and it got better and better. now it seems to have fallen back and if NYC does not do something, it will be back where it was.
@@MrSloika😂😂😂COPE HARDER.
A Starbucks closed in San Diego. They cited employee safety, but I remember hearing about the complaints of our homelessness. Another coffee shop decided to fill in the space and the rest of us are like…. Starbucks couldn’t make it here!
And yet people in NYC still vote democrat regardless!
At this point, I feel like Cash is the only individual who can keep his cool in NYC.
Nah I’m chilling bro ; just took out a woke chick with pink hair . Walking through bk without a care. Hes fear mongering
Cash seems to ignore Central Park West and the Upper East Side...where I have not seen anything bad.
Starbucks? Who cares? I'd rather patronize independents.
@@xGlocklesnarx Yeah we saw what happens with the woke people over, they have zero situational awareness and get stabbed to death by a deranged homeless dude
@@xGlocklesnarx No, he found an audience to appeal too: Conservative Americans who never ever left their tiny little hometown in the middle of nowhere but for whom New York is a crime riddled hellhole.
@@xGlocklesnarx sure bro totally rad
Why are people bitching or complaining? Keep voting for Eric Adams, Kathy Hochul, Laticia James, and D.A. Bragg. Keep electing corrupted politicians like the Democrats. Keep voting for socialism instead of capitalism.
amen to that.
Agreed
....and don't flee to any red states and keep voting blue because you are gonna run out of places where to move to.
Exactly.
like republicans are not corrupt :D
Honestly, landlords are cretins at times. I worked for a restaurant chain and during Covid the landlord decided to raise the rent despite our company telling them we wanted a rent reduction as we were loosing money. The landlord apparently not only refused but was also quite rude. As a result, taking advantage of covid, the company closed down the stores with that landlord and rendered other stores that had lowered their rent and used the fact that no client was going out to fix the restaurant. The landlord lost at least 4 locations that were with us. Many of those stores are still empty today.
I bet you 75% of New Yorkers will continue voting democrat... SMH 😮
Upstate votes republican, but because so many libtards live in the city the whole state suffers.
Of course they will....dummies gonna dumb
It’s only the city that turns the state blue
How's that "vote blue no matter who" working out for you NYC?
@@capo4270😂😂bro it’s going horrible
NYC looks like a dystopian shithole, yet somehow apartments are completely unaffordable for the working class. They need to break up these monopolies.
Unfortunately how are you going to do that with an unhealthy and sick economy?
That's what it's just so hard.
There is no competitive housing market driving the cost down.
It doesn't exist right now.
I'm not disagreeing I'm just questioning how exactly is that going to happen right now?
Even a small house has to pay about $1,000 a month in property taxes in NYC. That is AFTER the mortgage is paid off. Lol
@@R0YB0Thaha not really in taxes, I think you mean HOA, and that’s on top of taxes. Yes NYC is crazy unaffordable. But rentals aren’t having any issues, it’s actually a tight market and tbh as someone with a business, making well over 6 figures, I can’t afford these new luxury apt rents and opt to stay in an older building. When u see how small studios are renting for 4-6k and are all full of young ppl I’m confused af. Like where tf are these people getting this money?
@nylens471 You obviously don't own any property in NYC. It costs $1000 in property taxes for a small 1 family house. That is added into your mortgage cost and after your mortgage is paid off you still have to pay the city $1000 every month paid quarterly. Apartment building owners pay thousands per month in taxes regardless if they are fully rented or vacant. What are the chances of your 10 unit apartment building being occupied and all of your tenant paying you on time? Lol. The city has to get their money regardless so the landlord has to charge the tenants who are paying even more just to cover the rent lost by squatters just to cover their property taxes. All of the problems in this city are caused by the corrupt government.
you surely don't mean the one who sets taxes, the godvernment? 🤡
The primary reason a business closes is because it’s not financially viable. Why it was not financially viable is quite evident.
I'm glad greedy starbuck shutdown
Now small coffee shops can finally survive
@@SilkSonic-c9z Starbucks isn’t causing small businesses to not thrive. If that business has quality coffee and ambiance and great service and marketing, it’ll be fine. Unless they’re giving out freebies and letting people trash their business I don’t see how Starbucks would really dip in their profit pond too much. Compete with the best or get out the business.
@@inlovingfavor compete with the best or get out of the business only works if the government regulations are strong
U cannot play a game whose rules are decided by some players and not the referee(government)
Those some players are amazon blackrock apple vanguard Boeing Exxon mobil
Blackrock vanguard have shares in 100% of top 100 companies and in 95% of companies in fortune 500.
Government never put a limit into how many companies a company can invest.
Unending pursuit of profits- capitalism
That's why we need working educated gov.
So happy and proud for the citizens of New York, you get the government you deserve and vote for !!!!!
With large chain stores like Macy's chaining their clothing so shoplifting is more difficult, we now have a different meaning for a "chain" store.
😂😂😂😂Good one
I’m a teacher and all we hear regarding student misbehavior is that “we need to give grace bc they’re (insert excuse here). I’m not surprised this is happening bc that’s what’s been taught
100% right now it's excuses > solutions, if the solution isn't "give me free XYZ"
Lol. Yeah, I understand.
There's alot if change coming.
Gen Alpha just entered 9th grade.
Many here (texas)are transplants from California and NY. Many others have been homeschooled. Our culture here is "high expectation, toxic high achievement pressure type schooling. At one school, I shall not name 48% are failing core classes at the moment. They (alpha) are the bigger generation, Alphas will be the ones to gain "school/ life balance. The staff is now stepping back expectations offering free game passes and doing damage control as parent are pulling their kids out of sports.
There is a convenience store in my area where every employee is armed. They get higher wages than other stores make. Everyone around them has been robbed multiple times. They never have. Not once.
I use to want to visit NYC. Now, not anymore. Ever since 2020, NYC has become so bad, it’s made the 70s, 80s, and early 90s issues seem like nothing.
WOW! So, I am not the only one who feels that way.
Progressive laws have allowed this to happen. Criminals are taking advantage of these soft-on-crime laws.
Yes, FJB
It’s painfully obvious that there is no such thing as a “victimless crime”. It’s past time the politicians admit it.
the State is the victim, obviously
@@The_world_is_not_worthy_of_Him
Not really. Elections have consequences. This is what the people voted for.
There is one example and that is regulated prostitution, but otherwise, yes, I agree.
Marijuana possession is a victimless crime.
@@jeremyweems4916 you sure about that
honestly this is what happens when you vote blue
The word honest and politician should never be used in the same sentence
Every time. Liberals are pure evil.
I believe this is what happens when can't meet your monthly quota, when was the last time you spent money there?
How in the everlasting gobstopper did we let homelessness get so out of control in America? Somewhere down the street, I can hear Nero fiddling
