You could make a case that the period, roughly, 1945 to 1980 in NY was one of the great creative nexuses of human history. I recently finished reading two memoirs: The Man Who Would Marry Susan Sontag by Edward Field and City Boy by Edmund White, both of which took place in pre-Juliani NY. The city they depicted was endless, exciting, personally transformative, and immensely creative.

Read them also makes me realize that people often don't realize it when they're living through one of those times and that almost certainly we are right here in SF.

All of that's not to diminish the problems that NY had. The city practically went bankrupt in the 70s and had to be bailed out by the federal government, and the ever escalating crime badly traumatized the psychy of NY.
