Vanishing New York: How a Great City Lost Its Soul by Jeremiah Moss

5.0

I've never read a book that made me so happy and so sad all at once. Moss captured everything I've ever felt about the status of NYC. The hyper gentrification is alarming and it continues to break my heart to see the city change into something unsightly. Transplants trying to make it feel "like home" or commercializing areas to the point it doesnt look like what it once was, and its not a complement.
I wish this this didnt have to be written, but it is a reality that many of us true yorkers live.
