Who even came up with these ideas in the first place?
1. A pedestrian bridge to Jersey City
The only people who call Jersey City the “sixth borough” are people who live in Jersey City and are sad that they don’t live in NYC.
2. A YouTube reality show about Williamsburg
We can’t even.
3. A 1,000-foot tall residential skyscraper in Brooklyn
4. Email addresses for trees
This is both a bizarre retreat back to the 60’s and a misguided attempt at updating the city’s relationship with technology.
5. A six course banquet featuring nothing but bugs
Ew ew ew ew ew ewwwwwwww
6. A pizza rat robot
Even though this prank was pretty hilarious, we really don’t need any more hype about pizza rat. People in the outside world think that we’re really strange and that our city is disgusting.
7. More extravagant subway stations
This is why the fares keep going up.
8. A 630-foot tall ferris wheel
It might look like fun but this is definitely a death trap.
9. Any other event discovery apps besides Fever
All the others just don’t compare.
10. Rent prices that are so ridiculous you’d have to live in a dumpster
11. Rent prices that are so ridiculous you have to earn 130K to rent a one bedroom in Manhattan
12. More jaywalking tickets
Seriously, NYPD? Seriously?
13. Another overrated pastry creation from Dominique Ansel
Just stop.
14. Hasidic doom metal
Yes this is a thing.
15. Fried Brussels sprouts
16. A beard and mustache competition
Ew ew ew ew ew ewwwwwwww
17. More tourists
