Every moment I’m away makes me realize how fragile the reasons I stay in the city. How can the city survive the urban flight? Will you stay and why? (I’m staying as long as I can)

Cities will be just fine. Asia has gone through this and I'm fairly confident their cities continue to grow.

I live in the burbs as I don't like cities, but that decision doesn't have anything to do with cv19. I'd live in the woods or on a farm if I could. My wife has other ideas.

The city’s gonna do fine if people leave. Depending on your perspective, it might even be better off.

Left the city a year ago and never looked back. I have space, quiet, and the convenience of driving and parking when i need to run errands. Granted, I’m in my 30s but it was a good move.

The only reason to be in the city is for the Ladies. There will still be more here, than in the burbs. So cities will be fine for the 20+ crowds as always

Assuming you aren't in SF...

I’m in NYC. Can’t see myself in the burbs like ever.

To all the people searching PGs, i would suggest not to go with any online bookings like nestaway, zolostays.

The ideal thing is to land in hyderabad, book a hotel for two days and then go to office nearby area and search for PGs, you will get 100+ pgs in each location. Have a look at the room size, ventilation , bed size , if required taste the food also before booking PG. In case you need flat then also you will see " To let " boards everywhere, just call the number
