In the New Yorker, Lauren Collins tackles the Broadway pedestrian plaza and the High Line/Standard Hotel NudieGate, writing that the de-smutting of Times Square may have forced the naughtiness downtown: "The spontaneous rise of High Line lowlife seems to suggest a conservation theory of seediness: root it out in one place, and it will sprout up somewhere else. Whack a mole, and you may find, across town, the mole whacking itself." Ew, TMI. [NYer]
