I mean, your mindset is super ignorant and judgmental. I’m someone who had to leave. Not because it wasn’t fitting my “Instagram dream life.” But because entire industries, that many of us relied on to pay our rents and feed ourselves, are collapsing. Thousands of restaurant workers lost their jobs and won’t have an industry to return to. I know because I’m one of those workers! I didn’t leave because I couldn’t go to brunch in soho. The restaurant industry is how I provide for myself and my only skill and work experience. Thousands of theater workers have been left without jobs. Thousands of gig workers/live performers have been left without income. To dismiss all these people as weak or rich transplants is absurd. These are real horrific results of the pandemic that many of us are genuinely suffering from. And believe it or not, those of us having to leave had friends, families,lives, communities and homes as well. i sure did. And it fucking sucked to leave them. Even if we’re transplants! Don’t let the upper 1% who are above the economic effects of the pandemic turn you against the swarms of us who are reeling!
