What?? The only reason the city (manhattan south of Harlem) has the architecture it has is because of the 1% who demand interesting and unique buildings.
I'm not sure I'd specifically blame it on the 1%, but I suppose that, yes, the outcome of various financial issues has probably led people to focus more on money, trying to stay afloat. Also, I was just leafing through an article (New York Times?) about how all the cheap neighborhoods for artists are disappearing.
However, it wouldn't surprise me if the greater problem is that the internet, in all its manifestations, is draining all the energy away from creative activity.
