Unrecognizable compared to 2014/2015. There's certainitly still stuff there. But I mean they're increasingly islands as opposed to well, actually representing a fully functioning and cohesive meatpacking district. It seems like they're dropping by the month, and the change has really accelerated just in the past 12 months I'd say. Once all the projects currently in the pipeline wrap up, I can't even imagine what it will be like. Like I know how many more buildings are supposed to go in, and how many more people will be flooding the neighborhood, but I still cant actually visualize the end result, and the impact it will have.
