    Sort of, from my experiences, the Germans, Poles, Hungarians from the Bronx, or Yonkers are a little more civilized, than Italians & Irish, who are more a lot more civilized than Blacks & Puerto Ricans from the Bronx or Yonkers.

    Although, in Pawling, NY the Italians & Irish are much more calm here, then again their families mostly aren't from the Bronx, or Yonkers, if they are they came from there 50 or 100 years ago.

    Not, 5, 10 or 20 years ago, like in Putnam Lake, NY.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    But, most of Upstate isn't Oniontown.
    My best hiking buddy is Native American, Polish & Italian from Buffalo.......

    He's not a fuckin hot head & he'll kick your ass if you dare call him it to his face.............

    Most major metro areas are not known for friendly locals, even Canada............

    Tru.

    I recall thinking about that when I lived in the city....... Laying in bed there was another person one foot away the other side of the cement & cinder wall, some above me & others below on the other floors beneath.. Solitude was hard to come by but when I moved out to Far ROckaway I was able to find it on the abandoned beaches, fishing, crabbing & clamming.. Was so opposite from working in Manhattan 5 days a week..

    They could move to New Mexico which has a couple of Corona hot spots. How does that work according to heat will end it?

    Well, that is my opinion....... The water in NJ I would think foul, do to pollution everywhere & the water in the city is from UpState & actually pretty good. Better than the well water we have here.. We have to much of the wrong minerals..

    I never eat bagels any more, the ones they sell here are just bread in the shape of a donuts & have no taste..

    you are as usual lacking in the comprehension of the article.

    It's not "old people moving south"/ Its' New Yorkers of all groups and income fleeing NY for Florida..Hope that helps

    Noise/light/air pollution 24/7. Humans aren't built for that kind of stress.

    When the city folks come to the country, they can't sleep at night because it's too quiet.

    I did a job in Pawling back in the 80's.
