Woud be interesting to see the backstory on how they got access to the data/subsamples. The visuals are well done, but the story is sort of interesting in terms of how its edited. It neglects any mention, for example, of the role of Finance in the building boom. And by extension, glosses over the Financial crisis spawned (under his tenure, in new york) by real-estate investment instruments and the general bubble-icous tendencies that follow from "free money". NYC basically skims the profits of wall street both directly (retail&real estate sails subsidized by incomes from the financial sector) and indirectly through double taxation of corporation (financial lagest sector) and city income taxes. So, there are a lot of grandmother's withs withered pensions and decimated savings outside of New York that are basically subsidizing all of this. Just worth thinking about.
