New York, Exploding? (Wall Street Journal, 28 May 2008)

It might just be linguistic sensitivity, or the difference between American and UK English (?), but the following struck me as an odd way to word a real estate ad, and specifically in a post 9/11 New York:

New York - 42 CO-OP APRTMENT PKG - (29 unregulated) Solid West. Co. Bldg. - In Exploding Area - Jeffrey Joseph 914-948-1300
[The Wall Street Journal, Wednesday, May 28, 2008, page 29]

Exploding area? In New York?

Or is it just me?
