Theories of urban renewal

If you could change one thing about NYC/Russia, what would it be?

New York: End the mall-ification of the city. Throw out many rich
people and replace with adorable starving artists. Make Manhattan much
poorer.

Petersburg: Start the mall-ification of the city. Throw out the
nationalist punks and replace with normal middle class folks. Make the
city much more prosperous.

That is Gary Shteyngart, via Bookslut.
