Yeah.
These types of stories just make the writer sound like an idiot.
NYC in the 70s was far worse.
I’ll never forget the first words spoken to me by a native New Yorker (my cabbie):
“So what brings you to this cesspool?”
I wonder if he still loves his hometown.
NYC in the early 70s was much worse. It will come back.
When, is the question.
Its is different this time. With so many working from home, there is no need to move to shithole cities like New York.
Broadway and many other of the niceties are gone now and most likely will never return as they were. Too many businesses are destroyed permanently and there are more opportunities elsewhere.
Watching the government actively destroying your life and encouraging more from the mobs is not going to make people want to stay.
Yes, but as writer of an article posted here on FR pointed out, there really is no need to go to any city anymore. Stock markets, trade, goods, and all commerce all now does not require going to a city.
I remember NYC in the 70’s.
It was pretty bad.
But the current city and state pols make those look like pikers. And, unlike the populace, those pols aren’t going anywhere.
Nobody will risk going through this again.
EXACTLY.
People have NO IDEA how bad it was under John Lindsay.
If mobile phones and the internet had existed in the 1970s, NYC may never have recovered.
