This was never worth tanking the economy over. With all that's known about it, with the minuscule number of people who passed away from it and conversely, with all the people who got it that turned out to be just fine - all the hype isn't worth it. Crime will skyrocket here in NYC. No question about that.
Long time New Yorkers know that we've had enormous financial clout on a national scale. Over the last 40 years, we made parts of Florida the 6th Borough. That's because our real estate was so valuable. Retirees were assured of the good life when they retired to Boca Del Vista, Phase 3.
Fast forward 60 days and beyond. I'm beginning to think those of us who have metro NYC real estate will see our values plummet and the market of potential buyers shrivel up. Many of us will expire before things turn around.
A re-ordering will take place. Will the cities empty out? I'm not sure. But I'm also thinking that globalization as we know it is over. Maybe we ought to focus on the USA, building up our country, our manufacturing and agricultural bases. It's a total disgrace that we don't make our medications, effing masks and countless other items. Relying on others is OVER. The great national calling for todays young adults is to rebuild our country. So much of the recent military adventurism has been an obscene squandering of resources, this from someone who served and is beyond resentful of how it's played out. After a decade of prosperity and we as a nation are more in debt than ever!!!!

No. It would have been much more likely for this to happen after 2008. This is an externality. It may be happening in NYC, but it wasn't caused by NYC. Once this is over, not much will change.

These things will all sort out on their own when nobody has the money to pay the rents and prices.
News flash: all those homeless people already found out that these things don't sort out on their own when you don't have the money to pay rents and prices.
It’s like a person on the street reading whatever online and giving medical advice. It’s bogus. Everyone is an expert in everything until an actual crisis happens. Like Coronavirus....
This is what pisses me off. You have politicians and the mainstream media spreading disinformation. Both have access to experts in the field, especially the occupier-in-office in office and choose not to use them first and foremost. People are buying hand sanitizer far more than soap. We need to be more weary about where our information is coming from. There is such a lack of coordination as well.
I haven't read any posts like that nor have come across anyone in the outside world expressing that point of view. Of course, I didn't read all the posts
Point is there is no need for generation bashing because they all have their idiosyncrasies. Some millenials are pretty stupid thinking that they are invincible and partying on college campuses (before the dorms were closed) and on the beaches. It finally seems that most have gotten the message, but this was the last age group that finally processed the message. Their behavior was pretty selfish because they were told over and over that even if they didn't exhibit symptoms, they could be carriers and could get other people sick.
There have been posts by people in the last few days, threads, that were closed here by baby boomers calling for people to gather to protest in time square to protest or to simply defy stay at home ordinances. My point was to those lambasting millenials that dumb is in all generations. Being old does not make you wise and being young doesn't make you selfish. It's your individual values.
