Что б не быть голословным, приведу еще и Нью Йорк, в смысле город. Как бы я ни ругал мэра (есть за что), городская СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКАЯ экономика растет быстрее экономики США, а безработица сильно ниже общенациональной. Чисто один штришок: в городе только на строительство в этом году потрачено 42 миллиарда долларов, несмотря на то, что среди строителей полно профсоюзов (выше, чем по стране), а городские власти жёстко регулируют строительные разрешения (не без коррупции, конечно). Это больше, чем даже в САМЫЕ славные годы (до кризиса!) либертарианского мэра Блумберга.
Construction spending in New York City is on track this year to surpass the record set just before the financial crisis as an all-time high in city jobs drives strong demand for new housing and office space, an industry association said on Tuesday.
The New York Building Congress forecast construction spending this year will reach $43.1 billion, a 26 percent increase from 2015 and the first time the metric will have eclipsed the $40 billion mark in the city.
The association projected spending of $42.1 billion in 2017 and $42.3 billion the year after as the biggest building boom since the 1980s changes the skyline in downtown Manhattan, its far West Side and in Long Island City across the East River.
New York City employment has grown 18 percent since late 2009, the strongest pace in decades, as seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment rose to a record 4.3 million jobs in September, according to the state's Department of Labor.
Growth in private sector jobs increased 2.3 percent in the city, faster than the U.S. average of 1.9 percent, as millennials seek to live, work and play in urban environments.
On an inflation-adjusted basis, this year's projected spending on residential and non-residential buildings is 47 percent greater than 2007, the previous peak when $31.1 billion was spent on city construction, the association said.
