The Big Apple Is Getting Bigger
December 24, 2006
When I was a kid, there were eight million stories in the Naked City, according to the narrator of the popular TV series featuring the NYPD. During the 70s, the population of New York - presumably along with the number of stories in it - was down to about seven million.
I'm happy to see that the city is getting more populous again.
According to a study by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council, it currently has a population of 8.2 million, and that will grow to about 9.5 million over the next 25 years.
That's not growth by China's standards ... but it's nothing to sneeze at.
