Improving New York

Improving New York

A list of what I think would improve the city:

  • more pedestrian streets like in Europe (this one is urgent)
  • more small parks across the city (SF has many small parks across the city)
  • less scaffoldings (OMG these scaffoldings are everywhere and they stay there for months/years!)
  • less rats (this is crazy)
  • less trash (in nordic countries they have trash underground)
  • more electrical cars (reduces noise pollution)
  • less people littering (people litter so much in new york!)
  • less car parked with the engines still on (this is crazy, why do people do this?)
  • more public gyms in parks like in China
  • serve mulled wine at christmas markets
  • more city-wide decorations during christmas
  • free subways

feature requests:

  • more libraries and spaces to sit down and work
  • more coffee shops where you pay by the hour (for working)
  • direct subway from downtown manhattan to flushing
