    NYC Ain't Dirty

    Look at it, all sparkling, clean, white as...  uh, white.





    Central Park is 848 acres, which translates to over 39 million square feet. At $1,000 per square foot.
    Central Park is worth over 39 trillion dollars.

    Sometimes I get cynical and assume that Central Park will eventually be developed, because how could it not be with that amount of money at stake--but I've been to Central Park, and it was packed with people basically 24 hours a day. People use it, which means the outrage on even reducing its footprint would be massive.

    I think another thing helping central park is a lot of wealthy influential people paid huge sums for living quarters overlooking the park, because they overlook the park.

    Seeing snow in NYC reminds me of the line from Tallulah Bankhead, ...pure as the driven slush.

    Still, it's nice while it lasts.
