As a resident in NY during the pandemic, everything that you would think would cause people to cling together and bond in common cause during a difficult time period if you were an optimist, actually caused an increase of rudeness, hostility, annoyance, and battle for resources. From sidewalk space to aggressive driving to competition in apartment buildings for rare gym reservations or even elevator space, people are awful. Ready for a move to a house of my own without audible neighbors or selfish and uncompromising attitudes. Struggle for scarce resources triggers ancient and primitive defensive attitudes. Either that or people in the northeastern cities are rude.
