By 1930 NYC was a massive city and many boroughs have shrank since then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_New_York_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_New_Yor... Shows were population shrinkage and growth have occurred.
- CapitalistCartr 10y agoTrue, but Manhattan, where people think it the most packed, hasn't. The population has gone down.
- ghaff 10y agoI think a lot of it has to do with the fact that, for most visitors, Manhattan is basically midtown--and they've certainly seen pictures of the financial district even if they've never gone down there. Even for a lot of residents, Manhattan effectively ends at around 100th Street or so. (I've been going to Manhattan all my life and even lived there for a summer and I've never been north of Central Park except to drive into the city and to visit The Cloisters once.)
