Is COVID19 "cure" worse than the disease?

I doubt that NYC "is dead," but bumpy road ahead for sure. Although "biggish" cities like Cincinnati, OH are definitely on the long decline...once the auto industry left (Fisher Body) a lot of other things left too unfortunately. I only bring up Cincinnati because I grew up in a suburb of Cincinnati....Fairfield to be exact. Things do ebb and flow though but as long as a city doesn't loose core industries or doesn't replace it with something equivalent things will likely recover. Detroit didn't, plus corruption...Now I think they have like 500k population or about 60% loss from their high in the 1950's. Not saying this happening or will happen or that I think it will happen to NYC but it is sort of a cautionary tale.

Rich transplants? I will honest and say I know nothing about NYC culture, but I get the indication that New Yorkers don't like outsiders coming in? That sounds like how small town southerners are...they don't like us "yankees" moving and changing things. It wasn't well received when I moved from OH to NC and boy do people sound different when you move down south and haven't experienced the accents...but now that I have been here for ~20 years it doesn't sound quite so exotic...Heck I probably have a bit of an accent now myself.
