Stream of consciousness, but as a New Yorker, here are my two cents: Anecdotally, one of the first things I noticed while driving through the Upper East Side about a month ago was the number of lights that were off around 8pm. It was a little disturbing to see, but people have their own prerogative and there is no way to tell someone that they should stay in the city to support the people who live here. Lately, I do still see people moving out. Typically one or two cars loading stuff. A lot of furniture on the sidewalks if you’re into that type of thing. I am keeping a pulse on things by watching rental prices on Craigslist. I enjoy seeing the sublet ads that ask for someone to take over a 3000/mo 1 bedroom apartment in Hells Kitchen. They’ll be back in September. Until then, pay their full rent to live in a neighborhood that was sketchy before, but barely habitable now. I don’t even feel safe driving through there after sundown. Which brings me to the point: I think the racial imbalance in terms of who gets sick is clearly driven by the ability to work from home, ability to actually socially distance, and the ability to just leave the city and go back home until things blow over. I’ve lived in a three generation apartment in the boroughs. If one person gets sick, they all do.
