"I think there was a lot more insecurity in the city as a whole — if you think of the city as a place, almost as a personality — I think people were very nervous about where the city was headed in 2003," Gattuso said. "And today, we jump forward, we have a city that's growing in population. We have a city that has I think demonstrated its resilience. And we have a city that's finally looking at itself saying, 'You know what? We're OK taking new big buildings, high-rise buildings.' … And so I think what you're seeing in the difference between then and now is the paradigm has shifted."
