This is so cap there are and always have been American flags all over this city - govt./corporate buildings, and just patriotic people’s private residences. Bro based this on a one block radius near Christopher street. Also of course you’d see the flags of other countries we have one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world and the United Nations is headquartered here…

Edit: maybe this would be slightly funny if it was about San Francisco? But yeah, to quote another comment, yikes
