There may be a little bit of legacy rent controlled housing left but you nor I will never find it. The few people who have it will never move.

Of course Manhattan reached its peak population of 3 million around 1900 and has been overall declining since.

Another question I'm asking is..why are UES apartments in NYC seeming so cheap these days...

I was there a year later and didn't know what I was in for. The closest I could get was to the street corner of one of the sidestreets off Times Square, so essentially tons of people were just jammed there listening.

I'm not sure I"m crazy about the term "ball drop" anyway.

It was super patriotic given that 9/11 had just happened a few months earlier though. Lots of firefighter worship. Rudy Giuliani at the height of his popularity.

I suppose it's worth doing once in your life, I don't think I'd ever do it again though.
