    Can't believe most of the skyscrapers in New York are close to 100 years old, even the subway system is more than a 100 years old, and all of the infrastructure is still being used today in 21st century.
    You have to give props to the Engineers who designed and constructed the city more than 100 years ago, their legacy is still in function today.
    But, New York does need a massive upgrade, in fact, most cities in America have outdated infrastructure,
    compared to Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, etc.., American cities do not have have the modern edge that those cities have.

      100% agreed. I always loved seeing the skyline as a kid (which included the twin towers), but now the skyline is nowhere near the same. I see it every morning and I’m shocked by how much has changed even in the last 5 years. While I’m sure I’ll grow accustom to it, it’s strange walking in the city now since the newer construction has made it feel less “authentic”... it’s difficult to explain but I’m happy to see that there are updated facilities and a renewed sense of growth following 9/11. It’s true that the city never sleeps but who would’ve guessed it would be getting such a massive growth spurt!

      I'd just personally like some more asthetically pleasing skyscrabers, that go well with more being present. Most skyscrabers are beautiful if they're on their own, but almost any city in which a skyscraber is built, will be a city with more being built, so if the ruling system of the city set certain requirements for similarities (not identical buildings, just superficial similarities, so they don't seem to come from completely different places), I'd imagine it'd make the city more beautiful over all.
