This is wonderful news if the transformation of coddled urban commercial development into more equitable accommodations for the densely-packed workers away from the bosses capacious corner fiefdoms and fancy executive dining rooms into, just saying, affordable housing in those spires of inveterate elitist greed and let the "loser" peons struggle to survive in hazardous favelas of inhumanity.

Yep, parade the naked wealth-bedrugged cowboys of finance down 5th, 6th, 7th in a Macy's parody of really big-time losers mounted backwards on jackasses wearing labels of how much squandered riches that once flowed into their offshore vaults of tax avoidance or safely washed inside NY Federal Reserve gold midden nearby Wall Street's tiny Defiant Girl.

Imagine the pleasure of gazing upon JP Morgan Chase's barely begun high-rise headquarters on Park Avenue at 47th Street, the old pile nearly scrapped, with Chairman Dimon in temporary digs somewhere remote from grandiloquence, not able to seek refuge in the East Side Access tunnel snaking below Park Avenue not quite ready to serve as Covid bomb shelter for the suits acowering in poorly ventilated sky-high garbage piles.

Imperial beneficiaries in Pompeii didn't expect catastrophe to entomb the inhabitants of fabulous dwellings decorated with glorious artwork extolling licentiousness and exploitation of far-off colonies dominated by fierce military and law enforcement for the few.

Nor Rome to be incinerated in a day by a crazed master and commander.
