This footage of New York in 1993 will make you miss New York in 1993

Huh. I’m a Manhattan native born in 1956. I left for LA in 1995. Whenever I visit I remember that I don’t miss NY, I miss NY in the 80s. It’s been so horribly poisoned by money and the internet, there’s no going back. I was an actor and a temp, and I had an affordable 2-bedroom in midtown. Now I’m a suburbanite (though my kids deny that; they say we live in the city). Weird.
