it becoming to expensive to live & work in, so the good mixture of people from whatever social and financial background is in danger. The mix of all types of financially poor but creatively rich people the city needs to be truly creative and cutting edge to keep on playing a role of importance in underground and avantgarde art....that's where New York is going to lose in favor of Western cities as e.g. Berlin, Sao Paolo and Istanbul

WHOEVER DID THE DESTRUCTION

WHOEVER DID THAT IS THE GREATEST DANGER, NOT ONLY TO NEW YORK CITY BUT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

long-term: rising sea-levels; short-term: the lack of affordable housing to buy. paying two grand a month to rent a tiny place in Brooklyn is insane, but $800k for a studio in manhattan is even crazier. who are all these people who can afford luxury condos anyway?

Posted by Visitor

The greatest threat is the new pretext. What was once a melting pot is now becoming a place of homogenization. It is the junior investment banker from Staten Island who move to Manhattan and start using the term "bridge and tunnel crowd" with distain. The young professional women who act as if every human social interaction must be referenced with their "Sex and the City" handbook. There is a constant need to quantify and qualify what it means to be a "New Yorker" or what the "real New York" is. So much so that everyone starts to play a part or a role. New York is a cliche. It once was people of all kinds from all places who had no earthly reason for ever having any interaction with one another cramming into five great boroughs to create a dynamic symphony with beautiful harmony and powerful discord. Now it's a ringtone emanating from a blackberry while on line at Starbucks.

I believe it is the new construction of these massive buildings in various parts of Manhattan. While they serve a purpose in terms of elevating real estate and creating homes, it can still take away from much of the serenity New York City has to offer.

Posted by Nicole Ashey
Monday, January 28, 2008, 11:20pm

In short, the biggest threat to NYC is homogeneity and the lack of culture, diversity and creativity due to the lack of affordable housing.

There are at least 6 major museums in NYC and a gazillion art galleries. The gap is growing bigger and bigger (most importantly, geographically) between the people who make art and the people who sell it and the people who buy it.

I fear that NY has already lost its edge.

(Maintain affordable housing in NYC. Create artist housing. Use Seattle as a model.)
