Honestly fucking pathetic & disgraceful what is happening to This country, especially in big cultural metropolises like NY, Chi, Boston, SF. Shameful.
Huh? The reason they are cultural metropolises is because things DO change. You need the churn and influx and out migration.
NY is an alpha world city, with 42 major skyscraper projects ongoing or in design right now, the highest population ever, and one of the lowest crime rates per capita of any US City. How is that worse than 1990 New York? Because there are less Italians? Blame the people that moved away then.
It can't stay the same forever. If a city does not change it becomes Detroit. That is disgraceful.
