Living in an Illegal Tiny-House in NYC…

[@nygrl6102]

$5500 and no in unit laundry?? That's insane. I'm amazed that there are actually people who will pay $9500 a month to rent an apartment. I'd like to talk to them and ask...why??

[@javalily]

Because they can. Simple as that.

[@johnbnyc64]

Because we get to live in Manhattan and if you take full advantage of that then the rent is irrelevant. Do you think Cash would have a successful KZbin channel like this living in Kansas? 😂 It’s not about the price. It’s about what you do with the lifestyle.

[@chefxhyrule242]

@@johnbnyc64 there’s nothing you can do to take advantage of living in Manhattan after that amount of rent a month

[@johnbnyc64]

@@chefxhyrule242 that’s not true at all. I’ve grown multiple businesses solely because I live in Manhattan. The amount of networking and opportunity is not found anywhere else. This channel alone is a prime example of what is possible. Same with all Manhattan KZbin vloggers. You cannot just pay this rent and do nothing else. Then I agree that it is a waste.

Your channel always makes me feel better for what I’m paying for my place outside of NYC. None of those walk in closet sized apartments are worth a tenth of these ripoff prices. That aside, I love your channel for entertainment!

[@j.kristineemmons]

There's people on this channel that make fun on NYC price comparisons, because those people usually post from some boring state or out in the country, but this channel makes me so grateful for all I've got for what I'm paying- there's nothing in NYC that my city doesn't have (except for closer hiking maybe).

Hi Charles, l hope you have a speedy recovery! *9:52 The “Gold Dome” Is the *HVAC System (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) on top of the NY City Center. I used to live directly across the street. You’re also appropriately 200’ walk to the entrance of the NYC Subway lines N, Q, R & W. It’s actually the Wheelchair Accessible Elevator into the Subway. Located at the NE corner of 55th St & 7th Ave. I have to wonder why Cash didn’t mention anything about Charles’ second apartment being located above a “Dunkin’ Donuts”... Knowing how much he despises their coffee! 😂

[@janetlance7755]

Your post always makes me smile inside and out for moving out of NYC and buy my own home. 45.5 acers of land with 11 acers of blueberry field with apple trees 🌳 My mortgage is less the $700 month😉😆😁😀 That mortgage is just for my home because I paid off my land in three year before building my home.

[@bradderousse3440]

That first two bedroom was killer. Loved the outdoor space. I also really enjoyed that studio, even though it was below grade. It was getting in some natural light, and being by the laundry room is kind of like having in-unit laundry.....minus the part of having to pay each time. Also, love that final two bedroom. I don't mind the interior courtyard views from the bedrooms. It feels like a NYC view to me. Then the busy street noise from the living room. I like it. Not a bad price either, especially after that previous $9500 apartment.

[@AlphaMachina]

Paying rent in these places should be PLENTY to cover the cost of laundry. These people are insane.

[@doctorzaius4084]

Most of the townhouses in the west 70s-80s (like the first one) are converted private homes, so they have cool/interesting features to them. The top floor was often times the "maid's quarters" although I'm not sure if this one was. The one bad thing is the stairs are always very steep and it usually feels like more than 6 flights up to the top, very high ceilings. All of these are nice apartments that I wish I could afford!

[@kathy3178]

If I was single in NYC, I would definitely go for the studio. I like that it is basement level, close to the laundry area, and no roommate. The only draw back is the burglar bars. I know someone who died in a house fire, because she couldn't get them open in time.

[@waltersims493]

What about the poor New Yorkers who drowned in their basement apartments during the recent city flooding. They couldn’t get out. Terrifying.

Kathy, my thoughts exactly. New york obviously has very different housing codes than the rest of the country. I think the whole city is probably very dangerous where fire is concerned. Imagine how long it would take firemen to get anywhere.

[@marylivingstone9815]

When I was a kid, my father used to barbecue on the roof. And after a couple of years, someone did indeed rat him out and he was banned from bringing the grill on the roof. When I moved into the building I am in now, the doormen also doubled as elevator operators. It was awkward. Thankfully, a modern elevator was installed a couple of years in. I would like to live in the first apartment with the outdoor space, but by myself as a one bedroom apartment. Once again you have the situation of people having to go through one of the bedrooms to get to the outdoors. The basement apartment is a big fat no with the busted looking washing machine right outside the door and the window facing a flight of stairs . You would never be able to keep the curtains open.

And it would have bigger bedrooms than 11x8 and wouldn't have a bathroom so small you can barely turn around in it. Who lives like that? Also every time he says "look you can see the sky" or "I hear birds" like it's a big deal makes me really sad for the people who have to live there.

I have never considered laundry facilities in a bedroom but for some reason I'm not "put-off" by that. It sort of makes sense. Even so, there were just too many odd things going on in that $9500/month unit for me. It's definitely HUGE though! His $4925/month unit wasn't bad, but it is severely lacking closet/storage space, and the building had no amenities--except the 24 hr elevator person which is nice. GET BETTER SOON, CHARLES!

That elevator reminds me of the 1 where I grew up. Used to be so nice. Cherry wood & brass. Used to be so beautiful when it was maintained. Then the 24 hour doorman/elevator operator became a part-time position & the elevator was miserly used for garbage runs (there was always a self service elevator also). Back in the day it was a prime residential building but now...who knows. Shame really
