This is amazing.

Absolutely NO car traffic. These streets, up until very early 2020, were bumper to bumper car traffic. Sidewalks were packed and you had to squeeze through crowds.

THIS is scary.

I just read that NYC bankers are begging to be transferred to FL.

Who is left in NYC?? Hotel workers?

The only people I see on the streets, in this video, look like tourists.

It doesn’t look like this vid has been edited. Would love to know the local’s take.

My buddy was in the movie business up there, until very recently.

Born and raised in NY and worked, almost exclusively, in NYC. Was there during the COVID shut downs last year. Told me that if you had gone to certain areas of NYC, where most of the folks were on the government dole and living in Section 8, you wouldn’t know COVID from a handkerchief. Rest of the city was a ghost town.

>This is amazing.

Same thing is happening in California.
The real estate bubble in blue states will pop and the red state bubble, if you can call it that, will only get more intense for the idiots that remained.

We’ve officially left the walk or drive to business necessity that we’ve had forever until now. I wonder how NYC will survive because the dumb 20-somethings that love NYC and are willing to pay $2,500 for 250 square feet in a 100 year old building aren’t going to stay there forever.
