How has the NY "state of mind" lasted so long when everyone's working from their suburban home or parents' basement?

It’s only lasted in the rich areas. In Brooklyn, for example, Williamsburg and Greenpoint seem the same, but areas like downtown Brooklyn and Bed Stuy have had a substantial increase in crime/assaults/shootings/stabbings.

I’m part of the problem. I left because the self isolation in a small studio with one window staring at a wall was taking a toll on my mental health. People are unemployed. The NYPD has started caring less since protests. There is a heavy amount of unrest. And it’s sad as hell. I’ve lived in Brooklyn for 8 years, and I’m worried about the safety of going back to Bed Stuy

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
