That's definitely not true in NYC & Jersey City. New York is currently having the biggest boom in sky scraper building since the 1930s. My brother is a construction manager on a 70 story building that's going up right now, and it's not even in the top 25 building projects currently happening in NYC. Only 3 of the top 22 buildings in NYC existed 10 years ago, and I'm considering the WTC to be one building. If you count rebuilding the WTC as a new building, then the only two older sky scrappers in the top 22 are the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. Everything else is less than 10 years old or currently under construction. http://ny.curbed.com/maps/mapping-the-rise-of-new-york-citys-20-supertall-towers http://ny.curbed.com/maps/mapping-the-rise-of-new-york-citys...
