What is the population in NYC as a percentage of New York state. I wouldn't say that's a "drop in the bucket".
Not really sure why you even bring this up. I don't think there are many that are very confident in Seaway anymore so it's really just a waste of your time pulling up these skewed statistics.
NYC has only 2,000,000 sq foot of retail dept store space? Calling balony on that. Whatever, do not know what you are trying to prove and it sure seems like you are a little out of your element.
