Hey @Juan Lopez. You must be really old to have actually talked to those people and know they're racist. You must be over 100 at least. Most whites aren't racist actually. You prove by your comment that you're a racist by assuming those people are racist because of their race. Those people built the country that races from all over the world enjoy, and are living better in it than they did in their non-white countries of origin. The whites back then didn't have welfare, food stamps, medicaid, free housing or any other hand out like many other non-whites get now, that whites mostly pay for, so they had to fend for themselves to provide their families and survive. Get YOUR racism in check Juan!

After reading some of the comments it warms my heart to know that there are many others that feel the same way as I do. Old NY was so grand and beautiful. Sometimes "modern" doesn't mean "better". Thank you for this interesting upload. The music was so moving, as were the photos.

[@ninja_tony]

I agree, but at least New York respects its history, and you can still see a lot of signs of the past all over the city today. I watched a similar video of Los Angeles recently comparing it today with the LA of the 1040's, and it's even more amazing how it looks nothing like it did then, despite being a much shorter span of time than this video.

[@kellykrueger6639]

The buildings were definately more beautiful back then. When you look at the New York Stock Exchange at 3:05 and the part just to the right with the arches was so beautiful compared to the updated photo where its just so plain. Same thing with the building that's across the street from it. Its a shame that the architecture from back then isn't valued more. Same thing with the inside of houses too. With all the beautiful woodwork that people just want to slap paint over it.

[@BeanieandCecil]

+AtrolinK I have to agree with you that a lot of beautiful architecture was torn down and replaced with soulless square blocks. Just look at old photos of Penn Station (inside and out) and then look at the ugliness of it's replacement. And contrary to Gordon Bennett's comment, they weren't shitholes. It's just that somebody wanted to cram more office space into the same area that housed a beautifully (and soundly-built) older building. Of course, the old tenements were wisely replaced. I'm talking of the larger classic structures and not the buildings that were junk even in their day.

[@damianlopez7630]

What did London Preserve? Bricks,concrete,stone and Steel and Lumber? How about preserving the clothing styles...the textiles...take for example...wedding dresses from the 1930s and 1940's and 1950's were truly Beautiful and Regal and Insanely Feminine and Elegant. The Fabrics used were of Utmost Quality and Beauty and workmanship. The Bridal Satin was Unparalleled In Beauty, Shine, Opulence and Smoothness. Today's wedding dresses look like glorified napkins...rough as sand paper and as dull as broken cement. Full of ugly details and scratchy embellishments... Truly atrocious dresses. And that is just an example. How about preserving those things that are more fragile and delicate and Beautiful...and the Human Values also? How about WW2? London Was Bombarded by the Nazis quite badly I Read. It was terrible so I've heard through documentaries and films. I Would Love to visit London Though. As I do hear London is Awesome. I'm extremely Familiar with New York. Trust me. I was Born in New York. And Yes...New York has gone through too many changes some good some bad.

Of 100 years ago, New York is very beautiful.

[@jmitterii2]

There's pretty places in NYC. Grand Central Station in the 70's and 80's it was ugly rundown, early 90's or late 80's it was renovated. Many cities have undergone beautification projects. So many moving to cities which provides the tax revenue as well as the support to do such things. To bad rents are increasing way too quick though for the same reason so many are flocking to cities and as a consequence as a consequence of beautification projects as well... ups the supposed market values of rent and property. However, I think lot of the recent increases in real-estate in many cities has to do with the economic concept of Physiocracy, that real wealth is always tied to land, thus one should buy land to maintain land and get the best return on that wealth's income. Problem with that philosophy is it prices people out of the market, with credit, this leads to harmful booms, and harmful busts.

The question that needs to be asked is, how is it possible if the United States was declared a nation in 1776? I do not believe that in 100 years so many majestic buildings have been built both on the east coast and on the west coast. As they transported the materials, the equipment, the cranes, the labor force (the territory was barely being populated). Something is wrong.

Timon Steup System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities..... 1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can. 2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later. 3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most. 4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice. 5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life. 6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it. 7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success. 8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments. 9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences. 10, Always try to give more than you take. Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you. 🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all. People are controlled by system why? The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more. Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix) 😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpPZdKuDm8h-rJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJCwqZ2ap8lqidk kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3dlpShgKhpnKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnZeZRur6lqoLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqteX2webaWiK8

I was glad to see that quite a few of the old buildings were still standing, but seeing the new buildings next to the old ones made me realize just how much more effort went into the beauty of the older buildings, as compared to the newer, square box buildings. I understand why that is, but I really admired the older style. It's also amazing to think that the Brooklyn Bridge has been carrying people for over 130 years. All in all, seeing this video has made me appreciate the beauty of the architecture, but also, more importantly, it's brought to mind just how quickly time passes and its reminded me of how I should get out and enjoy life and the people around me before it's all gone.
