It's possible his Manhattan is more accurate, I didn't try to check.
Is there a miniature version of this guy in the model, with a miniature version of the miniature city?
That seems high ... only 10 people per building?
I wonder how many people are living in buildings with 100+ people as I am (estimate a couple thousand in my building from back of napkin math I think).
New York City's fairly vast when you take into account Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx. Manhattan's less than a tenth of the land area.

The biggest buildings tend to have a residential population of approximately zero.

The pictures in the article, impressive enough, are just the Manhattan portions of his model. He has in fact modelled all of New York!
> Macken said it took him about 10 years to build Manhattan alone and 11 years for the rest of the boroughs.
The full, absolutely huge, model can be seen on his TikTok (linked at the end of the article): https://www.tiktok.com/@balsastyrofoam300/video/754180447598...
