Damn the Hipsters

So before checking out the website I knew it was called Give Us Back New York and immediately assumed it was some crappy Hipster site about how great New York used to be before gentrification. I am tired of that bullshit argument, especially from Hipsters who moved here 5 years ago and are nostalgic for a New York that never really existed.

Instead I was pleasantly surprised to see that, while it is an anti-gentrification site, it is to revert New York back to New Amsterdam, proposing a Dutch take over of the city. Fun site with some interesting views of what the city could be like under Dutch Rule. I think I need to get me one of them I (heart) NA tshirts. I especially like their idea of filling in the rivers with landmass
