I have lived in the NYC metro area my whole life, with more trips to “The Crossroads of the World” than I can count. I have NEVER seen so few vehicles and pedestrians during daylight hours as are shown in this clip. Proves my point that New York City has become an overpopulated, overcongested shithole.
I read somewhere that NYC was 90% native born until 1970, when Ted the Swimmer’s nifty immigration plan really got rolling. Now it’s about 70/30 foreign born.
Would that there were more. Here’s a longer video, with Times Square and some other stuff:
