As it should be. People were packed in like sardines, similar to many places on the Indian Subcontinent. Manhattan's population is actually similar, especially during the daytime, to how it used to be, it's just that far fewer people live there full time and commute in from New Jersey or the outer boroughs; some use it as a second home.
