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.
