Jerry neglected to mention that he is currently sitting on a fortune of nearly $1 billion. I'm no expert, but that has to make sticking around NYC somewhat.....easier?
Because I really want to hear what an out of touch billionaire thinks about New York City.
This is disgusting and leaves me with a horrible taste in my mouth.
Exactly. As if Seinfeld really knows the struggles of everyday New Yorkers in 2020. Seinfeld should stick to comedy, since he clearly cannot be writing this in a serious mode.
I hope it was all done for a laugh. No matter what Seinfeld or the deniers say on this board, NYC is toast.
Facts can never be changed, no matter how much you try to lie and distort. Facts may not be eternal, but things that are cannot be simply swept under the carpet.
Jerry Seinfeld: So You Think New York Is ‘Dead’
(It’s not.)
by Jerry Seinfeld
When I got my first apartment in Manhattan in the hot summer of 1976, there was no pooper-scooper law, and the streets were covered in dog crap.
I signed the rental agreement, walked outside, and my car had been towed. I still thought, “This is the greatest place I’ve ever been in my life.”
Manhattan is an island off the coast of America. Are we part of the United States? Kind of. And this is one of the toughest times we’ve had in quite a while.
But one thing I know for sure: The last thing we need in the thick of so many challenges is some putz on LinkedIn wailing and whimpering, “Everyone’s gone! I want 2019 back!”
Oh, shut up. Imagine being in a real war with this guy by your side.
Listening to him go, “I used to play chess all day. I could meet people. I could start any type of business.” Wipe your tears, wipe your butt and pull it together.
He says he knows people who have left New York for Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, Indiana. I have been to all of these places many, many, many times over many decades. And with all due respect and affection, Are .. You .. Kidding .. Me?!
He says Everyone’s gone for good. How the hell do you know that? You moved to Miami. Yes, I also have a place out on Long Island. But I will never abandon New York City. Ever.
Hey Gerard,
While you had your first apartment in Manhattan I was getting mugged on the subways which is a war in itself.
Think about it.
Having to choose between lox or chives on my bagel.
How am I supposed to pay for it if my wallet has just been emptied? ......
Spit on a car window at a red light,rub it with my sleeve and elbow and ask for some change?
C'mon man.......you ain't Jewish if you vote Republican. ( a take from Biden ....sarcasm )
I probably know just as many people that have moved from New York to Florida.....or is that Florida to New York?
Danged snowbirds! Of course no one truly ever abandons New York. They have to come back for a good pastrami
sandwich!
Still can't dance as well as Elaine....although I do show similarities if I'm trying to hold it ( peeing ) until I get home.
The damned train just broke down........... ..only in New York ....only in New York....
Best wishes.................

While I cannot imagine how these COVID restrictions will not cause businesses to shutter and mass unemployment, I have plenty of faith that NYC and America will come back from this stronger.
