In reply to Tired of "winning": New York vs the Monoculture

If you haven't been to NYC lately, here's a good photo, from the side, of the Hudson Yards developments the Harper's author is complaining about, a kind of mashup of the fictional Stepford and of Dubai has appeared in the middle of the Hudson River view of the Manhattan skyline within a couple years time. If you manage to find your way down into the streets around these buildings, which are way way on the west side in a big area that used to be empty, you find: no people. It's like Twilight Zone:
