“The New York Times has posted a breathtaking video, soon to be displayed on the elevator walls of the new 1 World Trade Center, showing a 47-second time-lapse video of Manhattan’s history, from the perspective of the rising elevator. In less than a minute, visitors going to the observation deck will travel 102 stories into the sky and 500 years through time. You might notice something else about the time-lapse: the pace of change slows dramatically towards the end. It’s not because New York is approaching perfection. It’s because the city government has deliberately calcified New York City, encasing the city’s structures in a legal state of suspended animation to ‘protect’ its ‘landmarks.'”
