I always thought that owning a car in NYC is insane. When my bother and sister-in-law visit, they stay in a hotel near the Newark Airport with parking included. It's a quick shuttle into NYC and using public transportation. I'm not surprised that these expensive to park garages are falling apart. They fit in with overpriced cockroach and rodent infested overpriced apartments. I remember an episode of the TV show, The Odd Couple, where Oscar and Felix win a car in a radio contest. After a few early mornings of reparking for alternate side of the street (only in NY) nonsense, they look into a garage. In considering that you have to think this is over 50 years ago, the best line comes when Oscar inquires about monthly parking in a garage and he's quoted $250. His question: "Does it come with a bedroom and a bath?"

Promote e-bike programs and other low impact transportation options. If you want cars then why allow your parking infrastructure to fall apart like this?

Well, I have had my own personal experience with these parking garages in Manhattan. It was in the 1990s. Most of them were already completely run down at that time. Every millimeter of space was occupied in order to earn as much money as possible. These guys who worked there used my car and squeezed it between other cars. If you wanted to pick up the car, you often had to wait a long time. As a photo reporter in a hurry, that alone was nerve-wracking. But the really scary thing was the sightings in the garages. Holes, really big holes in the ground that you could look through to the lower level. Stairwells where everything that was supposed to be solid was shaking. Water ran, the iron quickly rusted and peeled off. 'Looks dangerous' I said. I was told 'everything is safe. no danger.' End. Some people said to me: 'Don't go into these death traps'. Well, my car can no longer see the inside of the parking garage there. I park outside or take the subway. End. Down- and Midtown are the most expensive shitholes in the world. In my opinion. Sorry. And it's going worster and worster... refugees welcome... crime rate push new records...

[@gj1234567899999]

@@markadler8968 you imply the current problem is exacerbated by EVs and I’m telling you that actually in NY, electric cars are actually far less common than the U.S. as a whole. Most people with EVs actually use charging at home as their primary means of charging and it’s very convenient. Many people opt to buy a charging unit and install in their garage. The vast majority of apartment dwelling new Yorkers have no such ability. That’s one of the main reasons EV adoption in NY is particularly low. EV adoption being so low, it cannot be a reason why parking garages are falling apart. The most obvious reason is a lot of these parking garages are really old and are nearing the end of their useful life. The wear and tear of a parking garage is much more than a typical residential or commercial structure so they have a less long lifespan and the ones built in the 50s and 60s are showing their age finally.

[@bigcahuna42366]

2:56 The prices to park in that garage that is unsafe are insanely expensive!! $12.69 to park a standard car for 30 minutes or less + a mandatory 18.37% parking tax, and $67.59 to park an SUV for 24 hours, also + the 18.37% parking tax? Gimme a freakin' break.

[@ericbentsen1785]

That'd be $80 for the SUV. I'm not parking there.

The fact that a lot of the structures in NYC are old is a big part of this issue, but that is also true in other places as well. But NYC has massive regulation, massive government bloat, and very high taxes. So NYC itself has mismanaged its own building inspection program. I grew up in NJ a few miles from NYC and in my opinion NYC government has been, and continues to be, more concerned about revenue generation and keeping and enlarging a bloated wasteful government, which acts like a jobs program, than actually caring about the people that live, work, and visit the city. They even make renovations and repairs over expensive with fees and time limits which acts as a negative influence on businesses and owners repairing upgrading buildings. So in the end they now have to shut buildings down, because they loosely and inadequately enforced the law for many decades. Where does all the money NYC take in as revenue go? obviously not in to the basic necessities the city needs, like building inspection and other things like the police.

Wow crazy. I never feel safe at any garages. New York got lots of problems.

[@dwayne7356]

Why, no maintenance and they are open to the elements. These garages may not be next to the ocean like in Florida, but in the Northeast, salt is used heavily in the winter. Unmaintained concrete rebar building are subject to the salt water intrusion.

Do ya think it's part of a NYC plan to get rid of cars in the city ? put in homeless shelters and charge the taxpayers $300 per night per head?

​@@youbetyourwrasse I mean if they're going to do it they might as well just outright ban them instead of dancing around it. People will probably cheer it on.

[@dwayne7356]

@@youbetyourwrasse I believe it is more like any other government owned asset. They build it then never have any money to do maintenance until they can pass a big bond to pay for the repairs.

Well done CJ great reporting.

Great video Cash! Here by Charleston, SC, there was a bridge that was fairly newer that had to be repaired because there were cracks in it. Now I’m going to research how often the parking garages in Charleston are inspected 😅. Thankfully they don’t charge as much for parking as NYC. I would be angry to pay that much money for parking then have my vehicle get crushed by a garage that collapsed. But everything in NYC is built on top of each. In Charleston, the city is also very old but the buildings can’t be taller than the highest church steeple where the nickname The Holy City came from. If a garage here collapses, there usually isn’t anything else under or above the structure.

[@yuukisama2001]

It's interesting. You'd think in all the years that NYC has existed they'd have fixed some of these problems. Garages collapsing. Buildings putting crap on top of buildings and you don't know if your floor may collapse killing you in your sleep. Giant rats, giant pot holes opening up. And the subway system with areas that still look like they are stuck in the 70's.

[@AngstG]

totally unsustainable. Once the investing class deems the entire city structurally irredeemable, i.e. cost more to repair than to replace, they will declare the entire city a 'total-loss' and stage a catastrophic city-wide event like a so-called 'nuke' blast or equivalent to empty out the city for demo & rebuild -- all as a cover-story of course...

[@willythemailboy2]

You have to remember that they're also paying 20% of the value of the property in taxes each year, and with the insanely inflated property values in NYC that could be 5-10 million a year just in taxes.
