New York City's Ever Changing Landscape takes a French Diner
Cities are in many senses, organic, full of life and always changing. New York City, in this case, Manhattan is no different.

Don't worry.
Real estate prices in NYC will drop quite rapidly and soon due to our peak oil crisis. Without cheap energy, there are simply too many people on a little island to survive. (Let's start by having to access floors above, say, 8 without elevators. Then we can talk about moving clean water around the city.)
Sound far fetched? How far fetched would it have sounded if I told you last year that Ford would be shutting down their SUV plants...?
