What's going to replace the skyscrapers? Mud huts? Wooden Army barracks? Or maybe a tent city like Sheriff Joe had in Arizona.
I'm sure the hundreds and hundreds of building owners, the thousands of businesses that occupy them and the millions of employees who work in them, won't notice a thing.
This commie DeBlasio is an idiot. New York is too dense to not build "up". There's no land to expand "out".
Ideology before practicality.
You nailed it.
