The "pandemic-powered urban exodus” theory, if real, would lead to profound ramifications from housing prices to the loss of the populations pivotal to maintaining the city’s cultural life, and its prosperity and growth. How are people feeling about New York City, and cities in general, during the pandemic? Our panel of experts discuss.
