what they're gonna do is simply make the island of manhattan a gated community
and permit the workers to enter/exit via mass transit.
my father used to rant on and on about our nyc,esp.after robert moses cleaned out thousands during the constuction of lincoln center....and destroyed entire working class neighborhoods..."this property condemned" etc.
"they want IT only for the rich".........and wait....times square's gonna be a disney land,they're going to clean it out."---- how we used to laugh ,but he was dead serious and very angry..and knew what he was talking about.

The Lincoln Center area was not a working class neighborhood. It was a slum.

Here's a hint: they shot a lot of Westside Story on those blocks.
