The question we really need to be asking isn't "why is coronavirus ravaging America?" it's "why are we treating all of America as if it had the same problems NYC has?"
In NYC you have a massive population literally living in their own filth, breathing pollution, crammed into subway cars that are never cleaned with the vermin of the city (human and literal vermin) streets piled up with garbage and then going home to tiny apartments filled with relatives or roommates.
This has created one of the most vulnerable, sickly, weak populations on earth.
What does this problem have to do with Fargo ND? Tyler TX? Tempe AZ?
Nothing. Why are we bullying everywhere to pretend like we have the same problems?!
The apartment situation is INSANE in NYC. My brother's old apartment in nyc was a 2 bdroom that they put a wall up to turn into a super tiny 3 bedroom. It was 3 doctors moving in, and yet, they STILL all had to get their parents to co-sign the lease, and prove over 1 million dollars of income, in order to get approved.
He now lives in a small 1 bedroom with his s/o. They both make really good money, whereas my fiancee and I both make... very little. He came to visit us and was BLOWN AWAY at the 2 floor, 2 bedroom, ~1600 sq foot brand new apartment we have, with a yard, that costs half the cost of his nyc apartment. And the kicker? My fiancee and I think we're overpaying a ton. I keep telling him he needs to move up my way, and just buy a big ass house with either an in-law apartment or guest house on the land for me to move into lol
Yeah I don't try and understand it at this point. My brother seems to really like it for some reason. I enjoy visiting for a weekend on occasion, but am always just as happy to leave and go back home. Different strokes, I guess.

The level of self delusion it requires to think living in NYC is a good idea is incredible. The days of "it's for work" are long over.
