The heart and soul of the City of New York has always been made up of equal parts of cultural and economic diversity, and a resulting original creative intensity.
However, due to the vagaries of the real estate market, we as a city suddenly find ourselves at the last moment during which we can choose whether our city will retain its cultural and economic diversity and its creative intensity, or devolve into a faceless and soul-less Disneyland. If we look closely at our streets we can see that our colonization by the strip mall culture of suburbia is nearly complete.
