That has been my response to NYC costs; I am a dozen miles to the west and never go there.
Threatening someone like me with limitations on entering entertainment venues if I’m not vaccinated is a waste of time; haven’t been to nearby Giants stadium for decades...
Ditto for me in Boston. I enter the city for two,and only two,reasons: medical care and the airport.Haven’t been to a professional sporting event..restaurant...etc,etc there in decades. The suburbs have everything I need or want except for the two things mentioned above.
