some people are afraid to leave their houses and are terrified that the protestors will get the states back to business as usual. Gas is under a buck fifty and there are a glut of new cars sitting on the lots just waiting for buyers. They are saying we will not be free of this till maybe next year. Cities like New York are billions under water and big construction companies with big budgets are not part billions for small businesses. Of course mine is a younger city so there are few if any old parts to look at.
We will see soon enough. We will see what direction society goes in by January next year.
The US is the only country in the world that builds suburbs. Humans have always lived in Cities. Corvid-19 is not the first or the worst pandemic in Human History and yet since year 0 humans live in cities around the world. This will not change. The mall is dying people want main streets again. People don't want to be stuck in their cars and eating fast food. Don't let 80 years of suburban living cloud your judgement.
