Every building is also approved by the city's engineer. The city engineer would be the one to approve and decide what support, and materials should be used to build the building to avoid incidents. Hopefully, no strong earthquake would suddenly take these buildings down, like that's going to make a huge casualty and many lives would be in big danger.

The football Lad I am talking about NEW YORK CITY. Albany and Long Island are not nyc. Living in nyc with 60k is possible if you wanna live in a ghetto matchbox without saving any money and without kids ( which will happen eventually, its part of life). You will never be able to own anything and renting for so many years without building wealth in real estate is a waste of time and money. You could have multiple properties with 60k in other states. Thats my main point , the lost opportunity for you to be a landlord and buy other investment properties. Instead you live paycheck by paycheck renting a shitty 400 sq feet apartment. Not to mention that ny has horrible taxes , there is no income tax in some states. Open a llc in ny and your business will get eaten alive. My parents live in “ long island” and both nassau and suffolk county got ridiculously high property taxes. Properties went up a lot as well. No chance in hell to own a 500k property with 12k plus in property taxes with 60k a year lmao. And rents are extremely expensive as well.

Loved this video. You have captured the essence of the excitement and drama associated with these new, almost impossible seeming structures along with a well researched narrative describing billionaires row as it relates to the rest of Manhattan. The narrative is informative and is embellished with a rich tapestry of high-end, upper-bracket terminology woven seamlessly into visually stunning Video. Thank you for this superlative explanation of what is happening with this trend and the reasoning behind the laws and expectations that combined to produce it.

[@geneytube18]

As a Native Manhattanite, nothing says it all, of the new unworldly New York as does Billionaire's Row. This is so Un the city I loved. The city has become what a tourist thinks New York should be. Nothing breaks my heart more than what happened to Manhattan. At the end of the day a city is only as good as it's citizens. Congratulations to your outdoor mall, Suburbia in the Sky.

If youre really rich just land your helicopter on the roof. Shorter trip from the top. Elevators are for people who cant afford their own pilots.

[@martinsmith4269]

[@spaceman081447]

@Jacobi Leoo RE: "imagine riding the elevator for 10 minutes each time" It wouldn't take anywhere near that long. Taking the tallest building on Billionaires Row, the Central Parking Tower, which is 1550 feet tall, I did the calculations and it would take an average of about 44 seconds to go from ground level to the top of the building. Actually, it would be somewhat less than that because the highest floor is lower than the top of the building.

[@obscurelyvague]

"Ken H" Construction workers are actually a very prevailed group at least in their own respects. They do hard dangerous work but they make very good money. Years ago I heard someone say that they make a few hundred an hour. Of course some construction jobs are done by illegal day laborers too.

The over development and empty penthouse apartments is a familiar story here. Minus the billionaire's row price tag. I will miss the tiny white St Nick's Greek Church next to the WTC I visited back then. And pre-gentrification New York. But I won't miss bringing travellers cheques.

I live in long Island. If I didn't know somebody that knows somebody lol, I would have been paying around $1600 a month for a one bedroom. That's the going price now. And that's with no rent stability. One bedroom apartments in Brooklyn are going for $2000 to start. If you are not a homeowner in NY, then it's not worth being here. Oh and by the way, me and my girlfriend looked at a 6 bedroom house with 40 Acres and a horse stable for $420k. In Wales.
