For certain high-wage, creative types of industries, they do need to be in the city. And yes, Millennials are more likely to live in the city, but it remains to be seen how "sticky" the city is to them once more Millennials start getting married and having kids. There has been a noticeable shift towards urban living, but it's not all-encompassing, and there are a LOT of people who still don't want to live in the city. There's also the whole market thing, where city living is so expensive that a lot of people just can't afford it. NYC certainly needs more housing, and there are certainly a lot of people who want to live in the center of the universe, but not everyone will.It's true that NYC needs to invest in NYC... the tunnels should mostly be NJ's problem, and a little bit Amtrak's problem. NYC's fastest job growth in happening in the boroughs, and better transit is needed out there. TriboroRX is the single largest project I can think of, but better transportation of all kinds is important if NYC is going to continue to grow with a diversity of people and job opportunities. |
