who here has fled the city until further notice until we figure out the impacts of Covid? Feeling really nostalgic about not resigning my lease and leaving back to my parent’s until probable end of summer/end of year☹️

I’m sticking it out in Back Bay! The city is actually not such a bad place to be at the moment. There’s tons of green space where I can get outside near my apartment, many of my favorite restaurants are still available for takeout or delivery, and there are plenty of COVID-friendly ways to spend the weekends in and around Boston (nearby beaches, golf, state parks, tennis courts, etc.). All of these things made me want to stay.

Two major factors for not leaving: (a) I live with my significant other, so it’s not as though I have roommate issues or I’m completely isolated alone, and (b) I love my parents but truly would not enjoy living with them for months on end as an adult.

Out of curiosity: for those who mentioned that they’d left, were you living alone, with roommates, or with a significant other?

Had a roommate, who I love and get along well with, but apartment is too small and dark for both of us in quarantine / working. So we both fled to our respective parents’

I did the same! It really is the most practical decision, but it doesn't make it easy. It may be at least a year before the city returns to it's former glory. And in my opinion, there's no point in going living in a crowded area if you can't reap the benefits (proximity to restaurants, friends, using public transit, etc). I am grieving my old life in the city, but not sad about leaving the life in the city that I would have now.

I’m a 30yo college grad who spent most of my 8 years in nyc in the food industry. It was comfortable and I liked it. But after being on unemployment during covid and making more than I ever had as a barista, I can’t go back to food. Seeing what that extra $600 a week did for my life and stress has changed me and I want to make that much money all the time.

Does anyone else have experience transitioning from the food industry to an office job at an older age?
