Sure, but it's where it is and the juxtaposition of it's apparent isolation despite being within NYC that makes it interesting. It's isolation from infrastructure, too, despite being real streets and (some) real houses. Surprising, at least to me.

Oh definitely, I'm not saying it's uninteresting that it's managed to get into and be left in such a state, I just thought it was a funny euphemism for it.

Yeah, the septic tanks surprised me. I grew up in a rural community in the Midwest and we had septic tanks, but I can't imagine people living in a city, let alone NYC, not having access to basic infrastructure like sewers.
