New York City is a place of inequality–which might seem pretty obvious when you walk down 5th Avenue past the Trump Tower’s gleaming glass facade. But obnoxiously obvious displays of wealth aside, the city’s growing income gap is often much more nuanced and difficult to visualize, which ultimately makes it a lot easier to ignore. But what if we could tell how wealthy a neighborhood is just by the height of their buildings? It would be a lot harder to brush off the fact that in NYC, the divide between the haves and have-nots just keeps growing. Which is exactly why Nickolay Lamm of MyDeals.com decided to make it happen.
