Initially dented in both debt and spirit, Bloomberg ushered in a zeitgeist of unbridled growth and renewal, with the private-sector being his greatest ally in bringing his initiatives to life. As fortunes rose, so too did rent prices, new skyscrapers, and, according to his critics, the reality of a sanitized New York meant only for multimillionaires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edc2bf88f45a62c80c462ba/1591756675910-Q2TFSLG0Z2DD7FNTCNPK/Screen+Shot+2020-06-09+at+10.37.09+PM.png The Legacy of Public-Private Partnerships in The Bloomberg Administration Fig A: Stress Metrics Infographic.

His antithesis came in the form of Jane Jacobs, the city’s most beloved conservationist. She believed that people, not skyscrapers, are the essential conduit through which cities are assessed, positing the primacy of “social capital” over any monochrome future. Their war-of-the-words climaxed in Washington Square Park, as Jacobs successfully rebuffed Moses’ megalomaniac plan to have Fifth Avenue continue through the Park’s eponymous Arch. While her name became a national synonym for intellectual preservation, Moses’ impact is inescapable — 416 miles of highway, 658 playgrounds, and 13 bridges were all decreed under his multi-office reign. Their struggle is emblematic of the forces that push and pull at New York’s presence today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edc2bf88f45a62c80c462ba/1591656804000-FDDYJDC7DCCW0CNDAZVS/Screen+Shot+2020-06-08+at+5.59.01+PM.png Mythical Nostalgia in Vanishing New York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edc2bf88f45a62c80c462ba/1591672953378-9UPKRNUZW41EKWQ53XMP/Screen+Shot+2020-06-08+at+11.22.18+PM.png Mythical Nostalgia in Vanishing New York CBGB OMFUG, referred to as CBGB’s, was the epicenter of sweaty, proto-anarchist punk rock.
