As Lankevich describes the history and the bad reputation that New York had, many readers may feel that New York isn’t really a good place. This actually can be said about all places throughout the modern world. New York had more than 8 million people by the year of 2000 and this was the most the state ever had, with more than 40 percent of its people being foreign born. But many see this city to be in crisis and turmoil. Although we have a disaster going on with our schools and everyday challenges with the transit system, New York City is still one of the most profound cities in the world. It has more than 40 percent of all skyscrapers in the world, the financial and corporate district is still well off, and its people will tell you that they cannot live anywhere else in the world.
