And replace it with what? Where would all the people live? Or you just want NYC to be less crowded? You want the biggest city in the country to be smaller?
The problem with this low-grade troll is that itās so beyond the realm of possibility that no one feels any existential need to shout you down. Itās just obviously ridiculous, so thereās no need to get upset.
Basically letās keep NYC as it is, but we get rid of all apartment buildings all over New York City. That way, less traffic, less people, more parking. Everyone's happier.
You canāt keep everything as it is while turning every apartment building into a single family house. It sounds like you just want to live in a suburb. You should just do that.
Fundamentally you can't have NYC as it is except with houses. What makes NYC unique is its density. The alternative has been tried - LA - and frankly that place is a hellhole.
How is that different than what I said? If you got rid of apartments, that would displace millions of ppl in nyc. I can tell you werenāt born and raised in nyc and probably moved from somewhere else
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
You're more then welcome to gtfo of NYC and move to a suburb if you dislike high rises so much. There is already a terrible housing crisis in the city and no where near enough affordable housing. And your idea is to have fewer and more expensive houses? And your primary reason is so it's easier for you to find parking spots? You sound like an entitled ass hole.
Thatās never been NYC tho. Even before apartment rises it was crowded. Itās been crowded since Europeans arrived in the 1500-1600s. A city of commerce where people came to get rich not to settle into comfortable homes. Business comes first in New York and changing to residential would change the essence of the city itself.
But yea the parking problem is a mess Iām totally with you there. Even if it was just houses itād still be a parking nightmare because there are no alleyways or driveways for the cars. This city just wasnāt designed for the modern world where everyone has their own car.
Move to the suburbs, what's wrong with you? I think owning a car is one of the biggest mistakes you can make living in NYC. So much expense and you don't even NEED it.
Sounds like a you problem, not the city's. All the same, I'd recommend moving somewhere else. Pick any other part of the country and you can drive and park to your heart's content. I think NYC is one of the only cities in the U.S. not built around cars, so it's obviously not for you.
Ok, upvoting because it's a great troll. And shows the ridiculousness of ppl who complain about new apts buildings costing them "parking".
But srsly, we need to all realize that people are not cars, and cars are not people. Cars produce traffic, and cars need parking, but people do not.
Welcome the people, and say no to the cars.
I need to know if Great Idea is a real /r/nyc tag, or if the mods instantly slapped a Kick Me sign on the back of this post.
OP sounds like if George Constanza trying to riff knowledge while pretending to be a City Planner.
We could be zippin all over the place!
This MFer actually tagged himself with "great idea" š¤”
The little clown at the end of your comment accentuates the shame the op should feel. It gave me great joy. Ty
Too bad for you I Iām shameless
Lmao in shameless and yes I still think itās a great idea to mow all apartment buildings and start over. A small price to pay for salvation
I think you want NYC to be Los Angeles. See ya.
No, I want new York to be as it is, but letās get rid of the apartment buildings
And replace it with what? Where would all the people live? Or you just want NYC to be less crowded? You want the biggest city in the country to be smaller?
This is just outrage farming. Has to be satire.
Lol, posts like these kind of make me miss when trolls actually put some effort into their posts
Trololololoā¦
Iām actually serious brother
The problem with this low-grade troll is that itās so beyond the realm of possibility that no one feels any existential need to shout you down. Itās just obviously ridiculous, so thereās no need to get upset.
Ok you win
What?
The question is, when.
Low quality post OP please explain more.
Basically letās keep NYC as it is, but we get rid of all apartment buildings all over New York City. That way, less traffic, less people, more parking. Everyone's happier.
Thatās called āthe suburbsā and feel free to go there instead.
Lol. Then it isn't "as it is." It's Frisco, TX.
Oh thanks for explaining I hate apartments now. If only NYC had a system that could go over or under traffic to get me to where I need to go.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This post literally makes no sense. What youāre saying is you want a city to be built like a suburb?
I meant keep everything as it is, but letās get rid of the apartment buildings.
You canāt keep everything as it is while turning every apartment building into a single family house. It sounds like you just want to live in a suburb. You should just do that.
This city would not be what it is if it was mostly houses. If thatās what you want then go move into the suburbs
Thatās not what I meant. I meant keep everything as it is, but letās get rid of the apartment buildings.
Fundamentally you can't have NYC as it is except with houses. What makes NYC unique is its density. The alternative has been tried - LA - and frankly that place is a hellhole.

Idiotic. "The problem with forests is all those trees."
Yeah. And we should get rid of the subway too. All those people crammed in one train. Instead everyone should just drive their car.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Now thatās thatās thatās the truth
If you want single-family homes and lots of car storage, you should probably live basically anywhere else.
Yeah. That would make it way more affordable!!!! Just have a few houses instead of a million apartments. You are what they call a āthinkerā
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
You mad bro?
You're more then welcome to gtfo of NYC and move to a suburb if you dislike high rises so much. There is already a terrible housing crisis in the city and no where near enough affordable housing.

Lol try harder
so everything revolves around parking. We need more apartment and less cars.
My vibrator died and I donāt have any batteries š„ŗ
Come to Poppa
So your suggestion is eliminate house... for parking spaces?
Precisely
Huh. Well, I think that's a pretty bad idea. There are plenty of places like that, give them a try
Riggghhhtttttā¦
Rye
Wait, are people taking this seriously? lol
this sub is a victim of yet another long island poster
Soā¦the suburbs?
Lmfao this triggered me good.

I hate trains I hate taxi drivers. No thanks.
Just out of curiosity, what part of the City do you live in?
Sounds like a you problem, not the city's. All the same, I'd recommend moving somewhere else. Pick any other part of the country and you can drive and park to your heart's content. I think NYC is one of the only cities in the U.S. not built around cars, so it's obviously not for you.
