@@Maki-00 And loans. NYC is in this state of affairs because they rolled on the debt so hard, they don't have a choice but to charge insane amounts to get out from that loan which they took to buy the original property. The end result is that their loans are going to default and a group of banks are straight up going to have all the keys in NYC with no buyers in sight. That's when you get a nice housing crisis bubble or a housing MOAB (Mother Of All Bubbles, but you can call it Mother Of All Bombs because it's going to be cheaper that way) and everything starts to fall apart. Shit, banks are already screwed because the US treasury spiked the interest rate so damn high, they're dying because their 10 year bond is now worthless. Like imagine buying a 10 year bond from the US Treasury and finding out that "it's shit" and the next step is "you're dead". This is going to be the fate of all the "major and expensive US cities" very soon. Their usual response is always going to be "don't panic". The Federal Government makes it's cut "one way or another" and pays off those bonds/loans, but normal folks aren't the Federal Government. Federal Government can wage oil wars, do all kinds of shit, snuff out market competition for other competing countries, but the average person can't do that. They can't rob a bank. They can't kill their next door neighbor and take everything they own. They have to "play by the rules". So the result is they can't pay off their loans.

Honestly? It's not just a New York thing. Here in the UK, things are pretty bad. I visited my nearest City for the first time in months a couple of weeks ago. Depressing. When I was growing up, the shops were all full and the City centre was always busy. Then they stupid council decided to build an out of town shopping centre. That's when the city centre started to suffer. The internet has since completely killed it. At least half the stores are now empty. Greedy landlords have not helped either. All the towns in my area are like this. A prime example of greed is the local plastic manufacturing factory that closed down a few years ago. The town it's in has never been a shopping hub, being a little bit out of the way. The factory itself isn't huge. The property company who now owns it expects to receive £250,000 a year for it. 😂😂🤡 Raised a few eyebrows when someone pointed that out. Something tells me they'll either offload it to another property company to build houses on or continue to expect someone to eventually snap it up.

Louis, the point of the old legislation was to keep people in tenements from living in virtual tombs. The way around it these days would be to open up space that does grant access to fresh air and light with a little architectural creativity, though the bigger thing nobody wants to say is how expensive that would be. Also remember that over a hundred years have passed and the downtown area of NYC has buildings of about six stories, tops. The big vacant office buildings can get as big as the Chrysler building. My own private, wildest fantasy is one where the FEDERAL government stands up and says, “tough shit, boys. We won't play ball anymore. You are going to rezone those areas for a mix of retail and residential. We already have told you a thousand times we are not going to bail you out. You are going belly up, real estate czars, for your greed. You won't get a dime out of us to fix long ignored federal projects either because you have proven you are poor managers and make Boss Tweed of Old look like a choirboy; the only difference is you chose real estate over politics where he is concerned.” The buildings would go into receivership and the too big too fail speculators and money grubbers would wind up either on Rikers or peeing themselves in Tompkins Sq. Park, mumbling to themselves. The bidding would be restricted. Certain foreign entities that shall not be named shall be banned. The natural cycle would be allowed to happen where if you mismanage, that is it, and another can take your place. I know, it is a dream, a fond dream. But it would be no less than what the oligarchy deserves. It would be nice to get rid of the politicians that control the machine, those who are now often over 65 and lifers no thanks to the lack of term limits in this nation, and vote in a new brnd of politicians for Washington that could overrule Albany OR the mayor's office, but that cannot happen until New Yorkers finally have had their fill of bullshit and do things like refuse to pay a cent of rent to ANYONE. When over a million start to march over the Brooklyn Bridge, then and only then shall the Hand of fate be forced. Like I said, it is a nice dream.

I think you’ll find it’s because the metrics that they use for commercial real estate Valuation is based on three things, income coming in, strength of tenant covenant and lease length. However, if the building is vacant they are still given a valuation on vacant possession, which is a lower function of those three things. Therefore if they allow the rents to go down then the value of the asset will reduce even when vacant . so all the RICS realtors property companies and property finance company/banks are colluding to create the illusion of high-value in the commercial real estate market.

When I pointed out that apartments have kitchens and bathrooms but office cubicles don't, she replied that a communal area for each floor or building would work just fine, saying something like "people just need to learn how to share." Having seen how poorly common areas at some of my workplaces over the years have been maintained by people who just work there for 8 hours a day, I can't even begin to imagine the biological horrors that would await the 24/7 residents of an apartment building with communal baths and kitchens. 🤢

Alternatively when the amenities are owned by someone it can also work or not. Bathhouse, sauna, pool, gym, laundromat... Either way, just sharing doesn't work as there will always be rotten apples that spoil the bunch. How far a buck a month per employee could go towards maintenance is nuts, specially if done pre-income tax by some employer scheme.
@cheezeball6109

Real Estate in NYC is different. What happens is that if the owners rent at a lower rate, the owner needs to put more money into the building value. For example, lets say a tenant is paying $20K a month, and building is valued at 3 million. When the store closes, the owner leases the building to a new guy for $15K, the owner needs to put in an additional $600K towards the building value, as the values are based off the rental incomes on commercial. So most leave them empty, and let the residential makeup the difference, as they don't want to pay. Its also a system that forces them to push prices northward. Commercial is a different beast, and many will crash with rising rates in the commercial real estate sector as fed will keep raising rates.

It's the same here (Israel) My parents have an apartment they want to sell on my recommendation. They tried to sell at peak time, but the broker advised them to wait "because prices are rising" Then the interest rate went up and the potential buyers disappeared. They have been trying to sell for almost a year and are unable to find buyers. But the broker insists that prices in the market have not fallen, people simply cannot buy. Just goes to show how stupid people are "The prices are high but no one can buy at these prices" is a statement I expect to hear from someone with the level of understanding of a 15 year old

I think it was you who explained couple years ago why property owners don't lower the leasing rates. They have loans against the property that is based on a certain revenue assumption per square feet, so if they lower the lease rates, they won't be able to refinance the loans with lower expected revenue per square feet. If interest rates remain high (relative to recent history), there's increasing chance commercial real-estate property owners won't be able to refinance their loans. You'll start seeing collapse of commercial real-estate in NY and other high premium cities.

@@johncherish7610 NYC has already gone thru cycles of boom & bust. Our whole economy is set up to boom, then bust, as money gets cheaper, then more expensive. Bankruptcy and debt write downs (or bailouts) are the only way for the system to fix the imbalance between loans & payback + interest. More money is owed to debt than exists in total. A fundamentally unstable system. Interest rates are based on ridiculous things, like prevailing winds at the Fed, instead of need based, such as giving every person a guaranteed 1% financing for their mortgage thru a government bank. Instead, we all pay to bail out the rich, while they steal our labor, land, homes, and souls.

"Loss factor" actually do happen elsewhere, though it is called other things like common spaces or just simply walls and entrance ways and such. My apartment is listed as 71 m2 if I remember correctly. In reality it is quite a bit less than that, but I pay for 71 m2 because I pay for the area of the walls, a portion of staircase outside my front door, and for my basement storage room as well. Those can have a smaller price per m2 than my actual livable space, but the point stands that where I live (Denmark) listings do have a "loss factor" like thing too. Obviously the solution is to list both the area paid for, and the actual usable areas, and around here most reputable companies will give you access to both pieces of information, like listing plan drawings with specific and actual sizes for all rooms and such.
