It blows my mind that an apartment for $5k+/mo has a washing machine with a door that only opens halfway. And folks are apparently OK with it.

[@sherw7635]

They're idiots.. 😂

[@thomasbodoczy895]

NYC is an interesting place lol

[@maddscientist3170]

yah it's sad

[@tigergreg8]

The people who live there settle for so very little. Like for instance, basically no living room. They call a small corner in the Kitchen a Living Roo.

[@nygrl6102]

How about the toilet you have to back in to? 😂

[@calendarpage]

I don't understand why landlords put in a beverage cooler in these small apartments. They put in a full-sized fridge - put your beverages in there and use the cooler space for a cabinet.

[@vicaroo001]

the tenants must be winos to rent that apartment. chilling wine = priority? space around your bed to actually make it up after sleeping? Not so much.

[@rjd3wine]

I'd settle for some cabinet space that I can actually use!

[@lisaanders5374]

They are trying to high end the kitchen as they did the bathrooms by adding the stacked washer/Dryer. Although most people only do this when SELLING a property.. not RENTING. But I feel most of NYC is purely a landlord/ tenant City and anything being BOUGHT is in the Suburbs or New Jersey

[@tigergreg8]

It’s for wine, that’s suppose to be at a certain temp then your fridge.

[@patriciawise2277]

Hi cute Cash, your optimism is astounding ! 😂 Those apartments seemed a little undeserving of your talent. Not even a good sink sprayer!🥴

[@nygrl6102]

$5000 a month for THAT? You've got to be kidding. And you have no idea who lives in those other apartments that have access to the rinky dink lock on the roof door. Of course maybe they'll break their neck before they get to you going down those treacherous stairs.

[@envyvicious]

😂

[@MamaCarola1]

Snack kitchens & killer staircases all for the low, low price of $5K a month lol. I'll keep my money thanks

[@sinash]

That's just crazy money these Landlords are asking for many of these places! May they remain vacant! All this aggravation and then to pay $5K-plus/month on top of it? HELL NO!

[@KJ-ge8sb]

It's called supply and demand. When you live in the most populated city (NYC), there's not enough housing to go around. So realtor's know they can hike up prices because people need a place to live.

[@cspat1]

The owners of all these over priced closets. Shame on you!

[@MamaCarola1]

@@KJ-ge8sb there's not enough AFFORDABLE housing. Trust & believe that all these towers that are going up have many empty units bcuz people can't afford these rents

[@sherw7635]

Me too. I'd break my neck... Lot's of places not middle age friendly never mind if you're physically challenged.

[@marinemom-jq3xu]

Cash, you are in rare form today... Too much! You had me chuckling out loud at the comments, Queen size coffin, enough counter space for a banana. Thanks 😅

[@boxadorsrus5991]

@marinemom6288 Today's Cashisms also include, "You could live like the King of the cavemen down here" and "You can stand on the windowsill and visit with your eyes." I originally started following Cash because it gave me a glimpse into NYC scenery I will only see in movies and on TV. When the apartments are not that great, I still enjoy his sense of humor. If he would stop slamming things around so much and (Yikes!) standing on doorknobs, that would be good too.

[@sherw7635]

Same here😅

[@653j521]

@@boxadorsrus5991 He has cut way back on those things.

[@gdavis7559]

Not sure how you say the rent prices with a straight face. Great vids

[@sherw7635]

I love how Cash tells it like it is now... Sort of like 'Here it is... It's up to you! ".... I'm never going to live in NYC but I enjoy seeing whats6in t he neighborhoods and the true rental perspective. I'd personal lobby more attracted to the Brooklyn Williamsburg area.

[@SnappyWasHere]

I get nervous every time you go down those super steep stairs forward! Back down them like a ladder is so much safer. 🤕

[@beachbumsailordude]

Yeah I'm loving my 785sq ft one bedroom in Queens with a terrace for less than $2,000 even more with every video Cash! Thanks! LOL!

[@zangetsudx1]

You're paying 2k for 785sq ft? No thanks! That's just as idiotic as the shit he's showing in this video. I recommend moving far away from NYC and get a real place for that much

[@beachbumsailordude]

@@zangetsudx1 It depends who you are and what you need. I don't drive. So moving to most places is out of the question.

[@tastx3142]

I am not sure why they bother putting in an oven or stove since the kitchen sinks are so small you can’t wash an average size pot or pan. Forget about a cookie sheet, baking dish or crock pot, you will be eating microwave meals and takeout.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

Here we go! Portable a/c on the sliding window; my windows slide sideways and my portable a/c with dehumidifier and heater work great. It's in my bedroom and actually does a decent job cooling the rest of my one bedroom apartment.

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

"Visit with your eyes." Yeah. I'd have no problem with a grown man on a windowsill just staring down at me in my makeshift roof garden. Lol

[@nikhtose]

$5000 a month for that gilded hole? Thanks, Cash. You’re always good for a mid-day giggle.

[@tycojewel7979]

Loving these videos. Am fascinated with NYC living.

[@4XloungeForum]

The more I watch Cash's videos, the more I am convinced NYC is NOT for me.

[@traceyfreeman5784]

I enjoyed your humor today. You make laugh every video.😊

[@dianadundidit5343]

I had to laugh at that first apartment! $5000?? I hope it doesn't rent!!

Cash, Great in every aspect. Love your consistent energy and sarcasm. 😁Keep going!

[@denverdubois5835]

"Wishing well pit of despair" "vampire outfits" LOL you are irreplaceable, Cash!

[@melanimeyer6085]

I’m always imagining Cash’s own home with dinged up doors, dents in all the appliances, every latch broken, windows stuck open because they were jammed open. Just all manner of broken from Hulk hand manhandling!!🤣🤣🤣

[@kittensugars]

Basement places are charming, imo....but now we all know NYC can flood with hurricanes. I would hate to drown in my cheap basement bedroom with a too small window...

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Cash and to your friends wow this is a tiny and cool NYC rooftop Manhattan is a beautiful city. Stay well and safe 👍😎

[@maricogan2903]

So many NY apartments are claustrophobic. How do you get furniture into and out of the hallways and spiral stairs?! Like so many otrher things in the world today, no one thought through the logistics.

[@MayWhite-fj9my]

I was trying to see how many times I could say no no and no but the music was nice as well as your jokes. Thanks Cash I always enjoy watching you.

[@catsanchez5749]

Love your vids Cash! Thank you for the AWESOME job you do!!❤cat x

[@Bobrogers99]

The first one, the sixth floor walkup with the ankle-breaker stairs and ridiculous bedrooms, is a no for me. The second one was marginally better, and the third one perhaps the best of the lot, even with questionable egress for one of the dungeon bedrooms. But paying a steep price to share a small walk-up space (even though they had laundry) isn't the way I'd choose to live.

[@fannycraddock99]

#1 is a no-no! 6 floor walk up plus 1 more to get up those stairs which I'd never get up! #2 is OK but I'm not in love with it. #3 is probably the best but to be honest I'd would not live in any of those. Thanks Cash, just the one oops today!

[@jeffgolden253]

"We've also got modern thermostat baseboard heating down here." 11:02 I haven't seen a thermostat like that since the 1960s.

[@markusallen5634]

Imagine that there are apartments that exist 'below' ground, because the owner/landlord has converted the basement into individual rooms to rent that is no larger than a walk-in closet, and the rent goes between $2000 to $6000 a month.

[@jbpromoprint123]

Hey Cash, You could always go down stairs backwards, facing towards the stairs. Might be safer.

[@j.kristineemmons]

Cash and stairs...alwaaaays! 😅

[@Diana-ze8wu]

Re-run this one on April Fools Day 😂🎉

[@femmebrulee5053]

In the 2nd apartment, the landlord should've chosen a smaller sink and not one with that cabinet at the bottom. For the money they're asking you shouldn't have to squeeze in the bathroom sideways and you should be able to open the washing machine all the way.

[@653j521]

Cash is showing us the oddball apts today for our amusement.

[@janish3059]

I cracked up when one of the video ads came on as soon as you sat on the toilet and pushed open the door revealing you squatting on the bowl with Frozen face😅

[@KingDaveth]

I swear Cash is always slamming doors, hitting walls with doors, breaking stuff lol. I'm all for it.

[@tigergreg8]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed he does that. I'm surprised he hasn't broken something.

[@Judge3366]

That's why Charles checks him all the time😂 I noticed that when I first subbed like when he stands on a door knob just to take out there battery on a smoke detector

[@bartonone2005]

TBH, I cringe every time...no judgement, just sayin'...it's C. keepin' it edgy... Chuck

[@dragnfli520]

Crazy stairs to the tiny roof bedroom🤪💥

[@abovethegrillllc.5394]

That's a kitchen exhaust fan. I clean and install them for a living. Someone will eventually get up there and power wash it. I bet when they are cooking during dinner rush you can smell it all.

[@femmebrulee5053]

I actually like that little upstairs loft area. It would make a cute hang out, nap/lounge area but I'm not sure about it being an official bedroom.

[@banana9106]

At that size it is a bedroom.

[@sinash]

HEY! I was FIRST today! LOL!!! (It's the little things, folks...) Anyway, I LOVED all of the sarcastic commentary today, Cash! You are indeed very talented as a writer and performer! All three of these units were a "NO!" for me! The first apartment was more exciting outside than inside, and it makes no sense to me to pay $5K/month for the privilege to walk up and down six flights every day. The second apartment (at the same rental rate) was worse with that crazy bathroom and if the renter gained 5-10 lbs., they'd lose mobility in the space and would have to move--if they could get out. That last unit with the basement at $5600/month... definite "NO"! Too close to a trash area and therefore the potential for unwelcome (and non-paying) guests. What was up with that TV mount? I person could hit their head walking up and down the stairs and the TV seemed quite a distance from where someone could watch comfortably.

[@janmurphy9347]

Plus the smell in 90 degree heat.

[@MamaCarola1]

Congratulations on achieving #1!! Lol. It's about time! Didn't you love the stairs going up to that roof deck? If Cash said they were bad.... then they're pretty much unusable in my book

[@kacpermaciak9618]

“Old Dracula could have had a queen size closet” 😂

[@ChelsiHottie]

Cash, I dream of renting a little Manhattan apartment while living in my tri-level home in Northern California thanks to your fabulous videos! It would be so much fun to fly in for weekends and longer, since I work remotely, then back home to the wine country. I mean, one can dream, right?! You are so, so charming, funny, and fun! Thanks for all you do!

[@RidiPwn]

Cash does it again, great find, who is moving there?

[@dazchu1899]

I could see me falling down those stairs, definitely not for me. And that kitchen…

[@envyvicious]

Dude, excellent comedy set today!😂 Those Apts were awful.

[@mariewegner4109]

The first apartment didn’t have a gas oven. That seems to be a rare thing in NYC. How come? I personally would prefer an induction cooker - especially since I’m terrified of gas.

[@Archerofaxios1]

You could bring a regular bed up that stairwell exit next to the porch and over the porch and into the upstairs "loft" room!!!

[@bartonone2005]

"Maybe it's a cotton candy maker..." Ha, ha, ha...good one!! 😂 Wow!! Good eye on an overcast day Cash, "That spire is the top of the ESB..." Washer & dryer with doors "opening" (kind of) in opposite directions, a design mistake? Oh 💩!! We'll just leave it! wtf??? Old Dracula could've had a queen-sized coffin. Ha, ha, ha, ha... 🤣 Highly entertaining, as usual!! Chuck

[@michaelmoore1697]

when are people going to really start living in shipping containers on NYC rooftops?

[@nygrl6102]

If prices keep going up they'll be living in cardboard containers on the streets.

[@RavagHer]

how do u get any furniture into that 3rd bedroom? ur on the 6th floor and that stairwell is too small for most stuff. even a rolled up mattress would be difficult cuz once unrolled u cant get it out unless u yeet it off the roof

[@Unitedhope4animalsOrg]

Maybeee a high end air mattress? Plus it's a pass-thru to the roof deck? I'd keep looking.

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job cash see you tomorrow

[@ANIMALS_AND_MORE_moments]

I am surprised to what one can get used to. USD 5.000 for the first apartment - but the waterpressure is 'good' given that's the sixth floor. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[@salenawaldrup3201]

How much for some cotton candy?😂

[@sfoeric]

Nope, can’t take any of these units. But I appreciate you showing them! Somebody will rent them.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I love the exterior window box on that one vintage apartment. The deck on the first one was cool but I have a feeling that the stairs would get kind of old after awhile. Here's a vampire bat just for you. 🦇 It will fit right in with the vampires. lol🧚‍♀

[@whitneybrown4067]

This is Gonna b so Interesting CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Wednesday😀….

[@aricarly]

That bathroom from the apartment where the washing machine cannot open properly and it's cramped could benefit either from a mini-sink or from a sink-toilet combo.

[@mgwhitney]

I watch all your videos. This one is SUPER GOOD, for some reason.

[@me2nmineme243]

Apts will rent. Typical but cool if that is what you're looking for. Well darn.😂. The door was a good one. I laughed out loud. Beautiful family Cash.😉

[@3dartist43]

So glad I own my own home with so much space & yard ! Would never pay that much a month for one of those apartments !

[@irenelacour3486]

Come on Cash would you really live in those places. You were correct on saying That Count Dracula could live in there. So creepy and no sun. See ya

[@vwbug1975]

So if rent is supposed to be 1/3 of monthly income, people are expected to bring home $15,000+ each month? That means you need a salary of around $285K. That's just nuts for an apartment that small. A $285K salary in most other places around the country will get you a nice house with a few acres of land.

[@asiahunterable]

As a New Yorker we no the prices are ridiculous for a doe box but Ny is convenient that’s why I live in the pjs for $600 I’m never leaving cause it’s so hard to afford living in NYC but it’s nothing like not having to drive everywhere

[@newyorkvisionary]

The first apartment has a lot of cons. Considering that upper area as a bedroom is laughable. Almost no natural light, that staircase, bad layout and small kitchen. It’s definitely for a few guys, but idk what guy would want a room with no door..IMO they should charge $3800 as a 2 bed and it will rent

[@maddscientist3170]

#1 ~ That is a 24" apartment size stove, not "full size "which are 30"; nice washer in Unit; that spiral staircase is dangerous! they should of kept that 2 bed at $3900. #2 ~ Ouch on the 2 bed rent! rather have the W/D & 1/2 bath than 2 full baths,; beverage coolers waste of space. #3 ~ pricey ....not fond of basement bedrooms..they are usually damp & dark..but the place has a decent staircase & relatively roomy with a W/D

[@femalism1715]

I can't believe that people are really willing to pay such premium rent for such small inconvenient floorplans.

Sounds counterintuitive but the safest and most comfortable way to walk down those super-steep stairs is to walk backwards.
