RE: Missing the NYC Vibes Jamaican in New York #APART
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I lived in New Jersey as a kid and my relations were all in New York and we never went to the statue of liberty, either. XD It's more of a tourist thing I guess. We did go to the twin towers though - long before 9/11. Somewhere my mom has a photo of my sister and cousins all leaning on the glass at the top floor and my terrified arse clutching the rail like "ARE YOU DONE TAKING THE PICTURE CAN I GO NOW" lol. I much preferred the Bronx Zoo or the museum of natural history. :)

Right!! Only tourist go to Statue of Liberty ( lol I am tourist ) . It really wasn’t what they make it out to be but at least I can say I been there lol. The shop I like is right by the World Trade Center site, last I went there it was a big open lot. I wish I had a chance to go up there. It is crazy how 9/11 changed the world and now Covid is doing the same, I guess that’s why I was thinking about NYC. Thanks for stopping by dude!

Yeah, I just saw this video about how coronavirus is changing New York specifically, not only because they had such a huge number of cases and deaths, but the economy. SO MUCH of NYC's economy relies on that foot traffic of daily commuters, and tourists, and not only have the tourists fallen off but many people are working from home or their shops are closed, so all the restaurants and hot dog vendors and coffee carts and such have no foot traffic and are losing their business. Since many companies are likely to stick with work-from-home even after corona, because why pay obscene Manhattan lease rates if you don't have to? ...those changes are going to be somewhat permanent.
Maybe they'll convert some of the office space to housing and it will provide a break on the insane housing costs so people will have a little breathing room? That would be nice.
That would be nice indeed.Here in Japan a lot of the workers are wondering now that that they can work from home, wether living in the city is worth it.
NYC housing is too expensive, the same could be said for down town LA, regarding the foot traffic but not like NYC. Post a link to that video if you have it and not too much of an inconvenience.
I know a lot of the big business are surely reconsidering if they need to pay that outage city rent now that most of their workforce is at home. Interesting times. The speed of change has accelerated faster than many can keep up.
Here's the video:
