Commentary
A concept I’ve written about for years is what I call the Manhattanization of California. No one moves to Manhattan expecting it to be cheap and quiet, with balmy weather all year round. People go for the excitement, Wall Street, Broadway, the museums, and the restaurants. They put up with the other things, which even add to the city’s vibe. As Frank Sinatra sang in “New York, New York,” “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.”
