I&#x27;m not sure what sort of decline is happening here. Silicon alley is booming. The city is a cultural smogasboard. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of large corporations are centered and based here. Construction is rampant. And the city is likely one of the safest metropolis&#x27;s in the world.<p>But maybe you could prove me wrong... I&#x27;m not sure, just noting what I see.
