The opposite side of the coin of when NY was a pure **** hole in the late 70s. We need some sort of balance. That's my point when I mockingly say that NY is becoming San Francisco. I don't mean it literally.

Innovation comes from dynamism. That's what makes NY great but when everything becomes the same, it becomes stagnant and dull.
The urban core of big cities are culturally similar to that of expensive suburbs. Lots of sameness homogenization going on these days. The same folks buying a cookie cutter home on a cul de sac is not much different to those buying a tiny million dollar cookie cutter condo in an hip area.
