There's a lot of labor involved in the birth of a new town.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Labor gives birth to ideas.
New Yorkers may think they're on some cutting edge, but that's not especially true. It is, however, the most exciting heterogeneous mess of a town I've ever seen.
It's a new town. The old elegance is gone. It used to be one big family, this industry.
Not only does the proportion of the poor increase with the growth of the city, but their condition becomes more wretched.
Towns find it as hard as houses of business to rise again from ruin.
I'm not sure filming a birth is as hard as actual labour, but it's a really long, arduous day!
Every week in a small town is very different. Something is going on.
Neighborhoods change. In some ways, it's part of the beauty of New York City. It's in a constant state of flux.
As our cities have developed, they've built sometimes small villages or communities that were in place. And we've taken for granted all of that child care, the neighbourliness, the help that you get from people nearby.
People going into the cities for the opportunities and the towns are getting older, no young people.
