That simply is not true. Not by a long shot. NY became NY because they responded poorly, infected nursing homes by housing non-critical patients there and intubated patients that didn't need it through "caution" or some excuse. Also, NY is about as dense as the US gets, and has way more shared, multi-generational housing than the rest of the US. Also NYC has way more transit usage than any other area in the USA, which was one important vector. Everyone keeps pretending like the lockdown is the only variable. It isn't!
