Steppes

King St, Manhattan

Exciting to see a new Marshall Berman book out, see it reviewed. Berman lecture from 97, same title as the book. Interesting read from the conservatives at City Journal. Yea its funny, they supported the stadium, which would have decimated an already declining - but real - manufacturing district in Hell's Kitchen, but this article is full of credited cautions against overdependence on financial services jobs. A real threat that gets couched by the final sentence: "New York always must remember: its top earners and its top firms are here only for as long as New York continues to be a profitable and pleasant environment for them." Not anything more, but suck more public funds into corporate welfare.
