Reply to comment by ChrisFromLongIsland in New York and Singapore top the list of world’s most expensive cities in 2022 by Elandtrical

That’s what I heard too. Heard it’s a dead city now. Especially during Covid when they said when those people leave, they aren’t coming back. For some reason rents keep going up even though it’s a dead city

Many people left in 2020 but a good number came back in 2021/2022. There are still tons of people here-- NYC isn't going anywhere. And sadly the tourist spots are still overcrowded. Some areas in Manhattan are getting sidewalk expansions because sidewalks are running out of space for people.

Def not a dead city in terms of nightlife and tourism, but for office workers it surely is, and that changes things a lot.

Instead of going out in with my coworkers or friends who work in Manhattan, I'm meeting up with people in the outer boroughs where we live and maybe once in a while go into the city.

Manhattan is now fully a tourist spot only. Not counting people who live in Manhattan as the majority of them aren't native New Yorkers so it's a different vibe.
