They're not making any more land in Manhattan. Haven't in awhile. Meanwhile, the worldwide population continues going up and up, and the city's population has increased too.

It's the inevitable result of constricted supply and growing demand.

Battery Park City was built on landfill using material from the World Trade Center.
