No, no, NO. It’s not Bloombird’s “health” measures.
First of all, a lot of old people come here or stay here, because it’s easy to have a life without a car, and there are LOTS of services and discounts. Easier to live here independently and alone than it is other places.
Second, we have the BEST doctors and hospitals in the world.

Aren't the elderly easy prey for the thug element that grip New York? Mass transit is a breeding ground for that type as witnessed by Bernard Goetz who was accosted by what we now euphemistically call the "Amish". I'm old (just shy of 70) and I wouldn't visit much less live in New York City because of the criminals and the leftists (but I repeat myself) swarming over the Five Boroughs, maybe not as much in Staten Island.

I just got back from six days in NYC. Fell in love with it!
Six days is not enough to see everything!
And yet, even the cabbies said they loved NY, but wish they lived somewhere else.
