Thank goodness, DeBlasio is doing a great job bringing back the 1970s New York of "Taxi Driver"

Hey that's when NYC was fun, interesting and dangerous. LOL Too bad I missed out on it. I would've gotten a killer apartment in a pre-gentrified neighborhood for $150 a month.
Now being in Manhattan is like being stuck in a dystopian Disney yuppie nightmare.
Bring back the streetwalkers and bookies!!

Today bars are open and some are full inside with patrons at the bar, sitting next to each other. After the protests last week, social distancing is over.
Also, I think the riots were handled badly. The Village and Soho are a mess. They just let people run amok the first night.
The legislation passed is good. I'm glad that cops' disciplinary records are no longer sealed.
I'm hoping NYC rebounds fast. My fortune is tied to it. Found a partner and opening 3 shops, two in Manhattan one in Astoria. This deal would have never happened without the pandemic. Gonna be interesting to see how fast we get back to "normal"... God bless America!!!

Well, about the nursing homes: where were these sick elderly people supposed to go after being treated for Covid-19 and released? It's not like they could go to a hotel room (like homeless did and others with Covid-19). Unfortunately nursing homes are the only facilities who can manage and care for such patients. And since they are all owned privately there's little a State can do besides lift licenses, impose fines, etc. Still, compared to other States, Cuomo got it right I think.
As for people in Brooklyn gathering: I am in Manhattan and I see the same things. But that's on the individuals, not Cuomo. I see people "wearing" masks down around their necks! Like, wtf you asshole idiot!! I don't understand why you wouldn't wear a mask just to be more safe than sorry.
The riots and looting were bad but relatively short lived. It was made 1000x worse because of the lockdown and everyone being cooped up inside their apartments.
By Summer's end I could be taking back my proud of New York stance but for now it's looking good. We shall see. Good luck with your pizza joints!! I will come to the Grand Openings.
