Someone Turned This Shed Into An NYC Apartment…

In New York City, rents are so expensive the best way to save money is to live in a place like this. After all, living in NYC is more than just an apartment, even if its not what you’re used to. I think this place is great.

Yikes. 4K for what looks like hacked together spaces without a single closet in any of them. I feel like this landlord/lady is only willing to do the absolute bare minimum and it would be a constant struggle to get anything fixed or maintained properly.

[@dougjohnson5487]

This hood is scary in daytime I'd be so afraid coming home at night. For $4K these are just empty warehouse space with shabby "kitchens". Keep on looking

[@Mikeandrenee69]

I don’t know how you did this with a straight face and the guy with you looks pissed at the world. 4k for a dump is nuts. If he’s an agent he needs an attitude adjustment or get out of the business.

[@Minalkra]

Dude probably knows the place is overpriced and it's probably been sitting in his 'units to sell' drawer for months. This is like his last hurrah to get rid of the damn units.

[@denverdubois5835]

Morning, Cash! All these places were pleasant enough, but seem a bit overpriced for the lack of finishing touches. I used to rent a studio in a former tile factory. It was simple but in better shape than these units. All the units were about 25' by 25', most had sleeping lofts due to the 12 foot ceilings, and there were huge warehouse windows with wonderful light and separate kitchens. The small bathrooms had spooky shower stalls--you could push the top up and off and crawl into a Narnian space shared with the shower stall from next door. Best part: $450/month. I always find it so reassuring when you say, "see you soon." Have a good day!

[@christianhansen3292]

yeah was gonna say slash a 0 off the end and it sounds dreamy. but needs a lot of interior decor.

They also show how much effort is put into graffiti by city residents. Look at the tagging at the top of multi-story brick buildings! Since NYC has long been called "greatest city in world," I guess that means places like London or Paris are the greatest cities in the solar system.

Those trucks come out of the area to go to different areas of NY. I work at the MTA, and I'm at that train yard occasionally, so we see what's going on in the neighborhood. It's a high crime area, so be careful around there.

[@MrJest2]

Most jurisdictions require food trucks have a "commissary"; sort of a base of operations where food can be stored, waste water and grease disposed of, etc. Small restaurants make some extra money charging the truck owners to use their restaurants as the truck's "commissary". That is probably what is happening here.

[@TimothyONeill_84.]

When I hear the word "rustic" I think of something that's been slapped together, given a high price value for more then it's worth, but, it isn't. What I see here is a run down place where it will cost more for the renter in heating and cooling bills, even though, it maybe bright during some days but more often than not New York is cloudy, raining, dark and depressing AF, lighting these "rustic" places will drive the electric bill eve higher and you will feel like you're living in a basement in the middle of no where during the night, as a New Yorker who now lives in a warmer climate, I've been to places like these, even lived in a few, I can you tell that living in dusty, drafty places like this will compromise your health, both physically and mentally later on in life. This is by no means a dig at you Mr. Cash, no, I like your videos, I like how you put a positive spin on every showing, I commend you on that, I respect that. Keep up the good work at brighting up peoples days with your videos. Peace.
