The East Coast..almost as far away from Southern California as you can get in this country is New York. As far as regions go New York is located in the upper Northeast area of the US in what some would call the woodlands. The U.S is then further cut up into more areas of which New York..specifically Manhattan is located in the Megalopolis region and a common theme for this region is that there is a lot of urban growth and sprawl that brings along many urban problems.
After living in Queens, a borough near Manhattan in NY, for 4 months I saw just how this was true. There are no spaces between living spaces. No blocks between office buildings. It is very over grown so to speak if you consider growth to include concrete and not plants.
Just how overgrown are we talking. Well, in the year 1980 New York had a population grand totaling 7,071,639. Only 20 years later and the empire state managed to increase that number to 8,008,288. Almost one million more human beings choosing to call New York their home.
I hope that gives you a small glimpse of the magnificent state of New York.
