I wonder that about every skyscraper office building. The amount of floor space in those things is gargantuan. It blows my mind that the average city employs enough spreadsheet-jugglers to fill even one of them.

I wonder that about entire cities. How do so many people afford to live in all those expensive NYC apartments. Where/what are all these high paying jobs everyone seems to have?

Yes! I get that some of it is generational, but I’m a battery engineer and I’m living in a 1 bedroom. Who are all these people that can afford houses, condos, or even big apartments?

They only have a couple floors of the downtown building, but yeah it's excessive.
