You sound EXACTLY like John. He was born and raised in NYC and loves it like a brother. But he will be the first to admit it has been raped and colonized by property developers. The last time I was there, which was about ten years ago, I was appalled by the yogurt shops/banks/Starbucks epidemics.

But I also have a sneaking suspicion that NYC is changing yet again. That's the thing about that city. It never closes, and it never stands still.
