Consider what is generally called the resilience of New York City. For seemingly transcendental reasons, every time it gets close to the brink of disaster, the city manages to pull back and recover.
Well, this was written before COVID-19. My guess is NYC will bounce back again. WHY? Because we will only hear stories about the parts of the city that bounce back. We won't hear about the small business owner who was ruined. At least not after those stories stop attracting clicks. We are either resiliant or we disappear. Just like a weed.//
