Kevin Baker, a Harper’s Magazine contributing editor, discusses his July cover story, “Death of a Great American City: New York and the Urban Crisis of Affluence,” which looks at how New York City has sacrificed the unique people the city has historically been known for being home to in the name of high-end development. Baker writes that this isn’t just a New York city problem, but rather a national one, stating "we now live in an America where we believe that we no longer have any ability to control the system we live under."
