An Unupsettable People
Manhattan is an island roughly half the size of Walt Disney World, the theme park in Orlando, FL, but with a population 1.6 million—a population density of 27,346 per km2. And this is not counting all the people who live in New York City’s other boroughs but work, shop, go out, and generally mingle with people on Manhattan on a daily basis. It also excludes the tourists, whose number was at its pre-pandemic record high in 2019, when 66.6 million people visited the city of New York, which, for most of them, meant Manhattan. To give my lovely readers an idea of what this means, Berlin has a population density of 4,193 per km2, Helsinki 2,986 per km2, and Turku, where I was born, has a population density of 765 people per every km2—a luxurious 1.3 m2 for every person, which is enough for every Turku inhabitant to take to the streets and spin a hula wheel at the same time. Saying that Manhattan is “densely populated” therefore doesn’t quite capture the sheer denseness of this island. If every Manhattanite took to the streets simultaneously—some crawling up from the city’s subterranean dimensions, some descending from its skyscraping heights—there’d be no hula hooping: there’d be 27 people crammed to every square meter. That’s 27 people standing on each other’s shoulders, like this:

Understandably, given this density, the people who live on Manhattan have had to develop a very high tolerance for each other. It is, generally speaking, nearly impossible to behave publicly in a manner that upsets a New Yorker. They are, in a word, unupsettable. This is true to a mind-boggling degree that would be comical, if it wasn’t also so, well, damn upsetting: Every time I take the subway for more than a few stops, eventually a person will appear who is raving about the end of the world, picking up fights with random strangers, shadow boxing, or just threatening to kill everyone and everything in sight. Now, a person with a normal unsettability level will unavoidably be upset, whether because she is worried for her own safety (I’ve never seen a situation escalate to actual violence but the threat of it is palpable—and very upsetting), or because, as a human being, she feels terrible that so many people have nowhere to go but the subway when they feel this desperate, this upset. I’d never go on the subway if I felt like that. I’d probably go to my mum’s. The (mostly homeless) people (of color) who have fits on the subway presumably don’t have mums to go to, or friends with actual homes, or anywhere, really, aside from the street. That they are “upset”—a word that doesn’t quite cover what they must be feeling—is the inevitable consequence of them having nowhere to go in a city this dense. That those of us who do have places to go are not upset, or not more upset—this is the mystery.
The second, much less upsetting but still somewhat upsetting, thing that fails to upset New Yorkers is rats. Interestingly, there are actually fewer rats in New York than I had assumed: The official Rat Information Portal ran by the city health administrator, NYC Health, estimates a population of 2 million rats, across the five boroughs (so not only on Manhattan—if it were, the rats would outnumber people). There’s neighborhoods with more rats and there’s neighborhoods with fewer rats. In my limited experience, Harlem is among those neighborhoods worst afflicted by the rat problem, and the more affluent a neighborhood (and the whiter its human population), the fewer the rats. I was sitting at a bar on Frederick Douglass Boulevard and tried counting the rats climbing in and out of the terrace construction to explore the contents of garbage bags which, unwisely but unavoidably given the density issue described above, are left to the street overnight for collection. Before, I had been sitting on said terrace myself but I found the proximity to the rats just too upsetting—not the sight of them but the smell: Before seeing a rat, I’d start smelling it. I won’t describe the smell to you in detail, but you can count on me that it’s enough to upset anyone’s stomach.
Still, despite such majorly and minorly upsetting things, Manhattan is turning out to be a pretty magical place. Not least because of its 1.6 million inhabitants, who, despite their unupsettability, are some of the most hilarious, warm-hearted people I’ve ever come across. Yesterday walking through central park, a little girl playing with her friends takes off her top and screams “I’m sweating like a potato in a plastic bag!!!” She’s clearly upset by her body’s failed cooling system—nobody else blinks an eye.

Here's a picture I took when walking out of the park on Fifth Avenue. I wish I was better at taking photos.
