“New Fire Island”

Did any of you read the short piece in the New Yorker in early May about that gay Australian architect Nigel Smith who is trying to get a new Fire Island set up in Greece (I think it was).

Apparently he and some other gays wanted to buy on Fire island and a) it’s too expensive and b) it’s now overrun with straights. So he and his friends put this NFI idea in motion.

I like the idea but it also seems a bit sus from the article. One of his friends involved has done a lot of work for the Thielmonster, including on something called the “Enhanced Olympics,” an Olympics for athletes using performance-enhancing drugs! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m sorry to say, the New Yorker foiled me when I tried to link the article — maybe someone else can link it, it’s a fun read. The title is “ Creating a New Fire Island from Scratch.”

Anyone know any more than what’s is the article?
