New York City is now entirely composed of a tiny slice of Wall Streeters and the people who serve them –- personal trainers, doormen, maids, doctors, lawyers, restaurateurs and Keith Olbermann's cat groomer.I imagine derelict skyscrapers ... elevators, power, and water no longer running ... with the homeless living in office cubicles, burning the furniture for heat, and relieving themselves in the stairways or out the windows.
If the financial sector ever leaves, New York City will be Detroit, which itself was once the nation's crown jewel metropolis.
They've made that movie, more or less, as Soylent Green. A good film that doesn't have nearly the impact of the Harry Harrison's book Make Room, Make Room, upon which it was based.
