A born and bred New Yorker has laid bare why the city will never recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, a dark week of looting in June and its ongoing struggle against escalating crime, homelessness and violence.

What is going to happen to all the people who are left?
I’m retired and have time to watch ActionKid, on YouTube, who walks around NYC mainly Manhattan with video cam. Everyday he does this, rain or shine. He is trained as tourist guide so he gives a lot of history of area he walks. I often wondered as I watch what will happen to the people now that the money has/is leaving.

In reading the article, I saw a guy sophisticated in a lot of ways but childlike in others. Elections bring policies, and policies bring consequences.

Of course, there is a path out, it just is a friction which will slow down the day before Des Moines has people in bad Elmo costumes cursing your family for not wanting a picture, having taxi drivers pretending to only understand Urdu, and others complaining that the bagels on the local corner suck and the salmon isn’t as good as Zabars.
