For sure New York has to clean its act up in lieu of 9/11 and it really needs to quiet down in this type of climate. In the future perhaps the main course city will retun once again albeit healthier, stronger and more secure from outer elements. The main problems early on was the cost of living, and now its the over building. Its a dump without the true decadent nature but its needed for now.
