A massive immagrant surge after World War 2 ended, and the Baby Boomers themselves started a babby boom twice the size of the first one.

This is coupled with a much earlier environmental movement which sees its salvation in modernism rather than its bane. A governor elected by this movement and bolstered by Postwar prosperity embarks on a program of massive urban renewal. This is coupled with a program of building restriction in Long Island and coodinated with the rest of the New England States to preserve Green space. The soul of this Modern Environmentalism is Frank Lloyd Wright and its symbol is his Milehigh Spire which dominates the Skyline by 1955. By 1970 it is joined by the Ultima Tower and X-SEED 4000. Soon, The Bioclimatic Skyscraper, Sky City 1000, The Millennium Tower, The Bionic Tower, The Hyper Tower and many more are stretching literal miles into the sky, generating their own electricity and recycling their own water. By 2000 New York City can easily support 100 million but has only 25 and is advertising high wages and movein support to encourage new residents.

Less Jewish assimilation in the 1900s, the Jews remaining strictly Orthodox and breeding like rabbits with 20 children per family as in Ancient Egypt: "And the children of Israel werLe fruitful & increased abundantly and multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty and the land was filled with them" (Exodus 1:7). Brooklyn & Lower East Side 6 million, being 90% Jewish.
