no, because that element of that generation
is just about dead or locked up, thanks to
crack, giuliani and stop and frisk and they're
not coming back, so proceed with caution. bye.
It is entirely possible that NYC reverts back to the crazy place it was, but unlikely unless something extreme happens. If the near collapse of our entire global financial system (remember NYC and London are the epicenters of the financial global market) and near depression did not catapult NYC back to 1975 decay and destruction, only an extreme unforeseen calamity, like a tsunami washing away half the borough or major terrorist attack for example will do it.
Otherwise, the trend for the better part of 30 years will remain, in particular the last 10 years, of strong interest in urban living, continued redevelopment and investment across 5 boroughs, and "gentrification".
Well the Wall St money is already disappearing and there is no sign of a cesspool on the horizon. The city is diversifying it's employment base....the new massive Tech Hub on Roosevelt Island is one example of that.
Wallstreet is alive and well after the bailout. And now that the government wants to implement QE3, Wallstreet will be continue to be fine. NYC's economy is extremely dependent on Wallstreet, don't fool yourself.
Did I say that? Because I'm pretty sure I didn't. I'm not going to take opinions from someone who probably hasn't even been to NYC before. Anon1 exposed you on one of my previous threads.
It is now currently but before they tore down the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago. The Taylor homes were the largest area of High Rise Public housing in the United States!
Yes that's right. I only said brooklyn and bronx because those are the more wild areas out of the 5 boroughs. But what do you think? If a wild brooklyn or bronx housing project was as big and jam packed of a high rise like Cabrini or Robert Taylor homes? Queens bridge was very bad at one time but not as bad as a lot of other projects were back then. Specifically in Brooklyn and bronx.

But my opinion would be yes I suppose they probably would be worse. Because of the population of NYC and the huge crack epidemic that NYC hard back then. It would be uncontrollable. At least NYC wasn't so stupid to build their high rise projects like chicagos with everyone all thrown together jam packed. Are there any bad projects in NYC today? I know edenwald in bronx was pretty bad at one time along with brownsville and numerous others.
