the city just got smaller.
thanks to some serious analyzing of thousands of digitized, high-resolution aerial photographs of the squiggling shoreline, our fair city is 17 square miles smaller than once previously thought.
17 miles = 13 more Central Parks, 1.1 million more people, or two dozen countries the size of Monaco.
and unfortunately, most of this lost space came from brooklyn….
“So Brooklyn is a little more svelte than we knew,” said Marty Markowitz, the borough president, who is not.
peoples are upset.
