new york, new york

this is quite incredible. i'm not entirely sure how to feel about it. i find it devastatingly sad that a seemingly perfect ecosystem could be so trampled and completely erased (even central park is fake, did you know that?), but the fact that the greatest modern metropolis is the result has left a biter-sweet muddle in my head. i like the hopeful note at the end of his speech, but like any grand city plan (hello perth) implementing it is easier said than done.
