My camera had run out of battery, so I had only my iPhone, which doesn&#8217;t do well in low light.

Yes, while many humans can no longer afford to live in Manhattan, the birds and raccoons are doing just fine. Many even enjoy sunset views like this one over the Hudson River. Some animals prefer traditional pre-war living environments in which to raise their families.
