17 Things That New York City Definitely Does NOT Need

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

3. A 1,000-foot tall residential skyscraper in Brooklyn

5. A six course banquet featuring nothing but bugs

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

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

13. Another overrated pastry creation from Dominique Ansel

14. Hasidic doom metal

15. Fried Brussels sprouts

17. More tourists
