If you think you only have 5 good years left at best then why not. However if your genetics and current state of health forecast you looking at 85-90, then no.
What?????????????????????
Ha ha - thanks, peeps - so looking forward to realizing my late dream.
If you have the financial capability to do so, then go for it. I have relatives in their 90's living in the upper west side of Manhattan doing their thing. According to one relative, no one bothers him and people walk on by as if he were invisible.

Like it or hate it the following is only my opinion:
Pruzhany nailed it.......................As long as you have the money.
My suspicions is that as a long lived New Yorker many will be driven out
not because they did not contribute, but because they did contribute towards the
progress of this city. The only people that will have the capability to sustain
a comfortable lifestyle in New York City are the very poor who contribute nothing
or the very rich who are not phased by contributing as they make so much money.
This is how New York City functions under politicians like Mayor DeBlasio .
Any one in the middle ( about 4 million of us ) hard working blue collar folks
who just get by living frugally from dishwashers to engineers are only in the cross hairs
of the revenue spike seeking politicians...............Best wishes on your pierre de terre.....
I know there are old people in NYC now - and I know the virus affects life for everyone . . . .
I had been wanting to have a pied a Terre in NYC and obviously got sidetracked by the virus.
I am lucky that where I live has very little exposure at the moment. I still do not go out - have groceries delivered, etc.
I would still like to live in NYC - and I am old, so I don't have that much time to make it happen.
Do you think it will ever be safe enough for old people?
Everything I want to do is obviously outside (restaurants, bars, shopping, walking neighborhoods, going to Meet-Ups) - should I just give up the dream or is there anyway it might still be possible?
What are your thoughts?
U are never too old to do do something u love. I would wait until NYC fully opens though.
