No, great time as long as you are safe and follow social distancing rules.
Rents are way down. Delivery availability for anything is way up. Everyone is willing to coordinate everything online/remotely. Easy to drive/walk around neighborhoods without crowds.
Not a good time to move to LA!

As someone in LA, in a job that is totally fine with WFH, living here is not worrisome and the news hyperbole makes it seem far worse than it is. We aren’t the only ones with hospital shortages, and you have to take total counts with a bit of a grain of salt. This is the largest county in the country by population, the 2nd largest city, and one of the largest by physical area as well.
If you are not high risk, and you observe the recommended precautions, it is way more liveable right now than snow-locked cities, and rental rates are way way down because the college crowds that take up so much of the rental housing never showed up in the fall.
Buy the dip on cities!
Rents in New York are down, and you can get delivery from Michelin Star restaurants. And when things rebound, you’ll be in the center of the universe for the collective party.
Nashville, moved in June and things are still going great. Might be a little southern for some people but opportunity is everywhere. Restrictions are not crazy but respected. City is growing like a weed.
Great time to move and avail the low rents in both cities.
Vaccination is in progress, so there is hope for better days to come in due time.
Big cities aren’t worth it right now. Hoping that changes in the spring but we’ll see
Fwiw I recently signed a lease in NYC and regret it
What are you regretting about it?
While I agree that it would be a good time to move bc rent is low but is it worth it still if I can’t get the real experience?

If you have friends in the city, I don’t feel like NY is terrible to be in right now. If you don’t know anyone already, I’d wait until covid is over. It can be lonely and it’s an already cliquey city pre covid
Oh is it a cliquey city? I never got that impression when I was there but good to know.
