      I learned yesterday NYCs skyline is a function of its geography. Didn't realize that!

          In moments like that, I try to remind myself of what @davidbrin said about the trait lacking in cultures that fail: the cleansing corrective known as criticism and accountability. So you are doing your part to save civilization by taking the criticism gracefully!

          I could imagine that effect being sufficient to kick off agglomeration effects in a particular spot, resulting in a lumpy skyline. Once just a few people have responded to the price gradient, others decide to pitch tent there too because there are more folks around.

          That's fair but the way this explanation is thrown about implies that it wasn't possible to build skyscrapers on loose sediment, only bedrock, which isn't/wasn't true then. It's more consequences of initial conditions and economics than geology.

          I wonder what the relationship is like in London? Supposedly Canary Wharf is easier to build on than the rest of London's notorious clay soil. Never seen data for this, though
