Imagine living in a single closed bedroom with your entire family AND having 3 other families walk through your room to get to theirs. We have it so good😭

I lived in NY for about ten years, and I laughed when you mentioned the "ample heat." It's quite common to look up and see apartment windows open during the coldest days of winter because the older, steam-heated apartments have two settings for the heat: off, and fiery depths of Hell.

My wife and I lived in a studio for over 20 years. As New Yorkers, we engaged in that favorite competitive sport, tracking real estate (both for sale and rentals).  One day an ad appeared listing one of the studios in our line for sale, describing it as being "420 square feet".  This surprised me so I got out my tape measure and measured every square inch of our apartment and calculated the actual square footage.  This led me to the conclusion that in addition to both English and Metric measurements, there is a "Manhattan Real Estate Measurement". Specifically, according to my calculation, a Manhattan Square Foot is approximately 9 inches by 9 inches.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a +100x ….if this guy writes a book, or starts a channel with longer deep dives on each building styles? I’ll subscribe or buy a book, whatever. He articulates SO well a topic I never knew I was so fascinated by.

I really love the way you pointed out "WHY" there was change in design, yet also explained why the change you see today.

It makes me sad realizing that there was a period in time (however brief in the grand scheme of things) when artists were taken so much more seriously than both before and after. Here in Sweden there was even the concept of "artist's pay" during much of the past century, which meant that artists could receive basic income simply for being an artist, as long as they went to speak with the proper authority and could prove that they were regularly producing art and that there was some sort of public interest in their works.

I really appreciate how he approached the changes of New York being caused by gentrification rather than just "things progressing". Humanizing and including marginalized people and financial insecurities  in the conversation of housing is so important!

As a Dutch person, I'd like to clarify that the Dutch word for stoop is 'stoep' and it does not mean staircase it means sidewalk or pavement. The Dutch word for staircase is called 'trap'.

Really enjoyed this episode as it touched base on the evolution of architecture in New York and the motivation behind the different architectures, which is something most people do not consider or appreciate.

It’s this guy again. This guy needs to have his own show. I would watch it all the time.

Loved every minute of this video, I remember a teacher saying if you know what you’re teaching it’s never complicated. Anyone that complicates a subject doesn’t know it. This was  fantastic……
