Having been born and raised in CT right outside the city with relatives there, I have mostly good memories of there. Since I went in the military back in 71, I would fly into NYC and then take the subway/trains to CT. I always loved having having a pizza from those little joints in Grand Central Station. Best in the world back then. Don’t know about now.

I work in NYC and I'm beginning to see the sea change already. Even if the pandemic disappeared tomorrow, I think the genie is out of the bottle now that corporations realize they can save a bundle of cash having their employees work remotely.

We have 10x the Internet bandwidth we had just a few years ago. Since March 13 (my last regular day in the city), I've spent most of my time working out of my home. My internet here is even faster than what I had in the office and the Zoom meeting technology brings clients and co-workers right into my home with high quality video and audio.

Ten years ago, trying to work like this would have been a very clunky affair.

So looks like the Dem mayors and governors shot themselves in the foot. They were quick to shut the cities down, in order to hurt Trump's re-election chances. Now they are going to find out that many of the employers - that pay most of their taxes - are never coming back.

Will be very interesting to see where this goes.
