On the contrary, the depressing electoral vaudeville keeps the well-established systemic order underlying these consequences since it grabs most of its funding from it.<\/p>\n<h2>Urban decadence<\/h2>\n<p>Refreshing my passion for economic geography and urban issues, I listed some food for thought that, in addition to NYC, can be extended to numerous large cities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Large cities are becoming less diverse and expensive, pushing out long-term residents and small businesses. Without their soul, brought by local culture, they will look all the same, resembling an open-air shopping mall.<\/li>\n<li>Wealthy investors buy up properties but often leave them empty, creating \u2018dead zones\u2019 in neighbourhoods.<\/li>\n<li>The rise of new luxury high-rise buildings is not just a symbol of urban development but a physical manifestation of social isolation. These buildings, with their lavish amenities, are not just homes but fortresses that isolate their residents from the vibrant life of the surrounding community.<\/li>\n<li>Many new developments receive tax breaks to encourage affordable housing but mainly benefit wealthy residents.<\/li>\n<li>Rising rents are forcing small businesses and cultural institutions out of the area, replacing them with chain stores and vacant storefronts.<\/li>\n<li>Public spaces and services should be more privatized and addressed.<\/li>\n<li>The character of neighbourhoods is changing as long-term residents are priced out and community ties are broken.<\/li>\n<li>City policies favour large-scale luxury development over affordable housing and preserving existing communities.<\/li>\n<li>There are concerns about the long-term sustainability of a city economy heavily dependent on luxury real estate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Sidenote<\/em>: the video features \u2018Trompe\u2019, a track from my upcoming album (it contains a sample by \u2018Trompe l\u2019Oeil\u2019 published in 2006 by the Italian artist Rudy Marra). Clips were taken with the iPhone 14\u2019s cinematic camera and edited with CapCut\u2014a practical app under scrutiny by the EU censorship team since it\u2019s owned by the Chinese ByteDance, the same as TikTok.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYC in 2024 shows an obsolete modernity.
