Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but if we go through another wave this winter only losing one-third does seem optimistic. Every time I walk around my neighborhood (Williamsburg) I notice another newly shuttered storefront. Many places I loved are sadly gone and never coming back. The building my studio space I keep to work out of is in is filling up with vacancies and eviction notices — I go in occasionally to grab mail and water plants, but I don’t intend on renewing my lease on it this fall. I’m generally ride or die NYC, but after 5 months of quarantine the idea of staying inside through the winter of 2020-2021 is sounding pretty bleak. It’s the first time in 13 years I’ve considered leaving temporarily. This really is just the beginning.
