Some of the highest office and retail rents in Manhattan are on 42nd/8th. It hasn't been remotely rough in at least 20 years.

Now back in the 70's, definitely, and the 80's, to a lesser extent, yeah. The Deuce was rough. By the 90's the area was just fine. Now you have blue chip companies paying sky-high office rents.
