How did New York become a desert?
What the subject says. I can see the landscape changing over the course of a few hundred thousand years, but in only 2,000 years? What happened to change the landscape so fast?

Better question, how did the Statue of Liberty get to the California Coast.
shareI've been out to the craggy and mountainous Point Dume in Malibu where they filmed it (I once shot a music video there) as well as very flat NYC and it struck me that the only reason they must have filmed the Statue out in California was the dramatic effect of him riding around a boulder to see it, plus the fact that it was close to where they were filming the rest of the movie.
The big issues with how they filmed it is that NYC and the area around the statue has no topographical features like cliffs and huge boulders. If so much time went by that huge cliffs eroded in NYC, I think the Statue of Liberty would assuredly be a pulverized scattered debris pile long before then. There's always the possibility that it was the remnants of some sort of coastal casino like the New York New York in Las Vegas built along some other coast, so then it wouldn't be THE Statue of Liberty but a replica, which still kind of works though it is a bit of a narrative jump.
