UWS scenes of both moving in and moving out are still occurring, some with modest belongings going into a personal car others more commodious involving a moving truck.
Still other signs of recovery in unloading of appliances, refrigerators, stoves, washer/dryers, along with sofas, supersize TVs, and most recently new AC units.
These shifts with comeback of food carts, ever more facade repair jobs and pernicious sidewalk sheds, new buildings, and may food gods have mercy, burgeoning sidewalk and street hutches contending with delivery trucks and bikes of all stripes and commuter SUVs on the avenues causing now-packed buses, hire cars and taxis to weave, pause, dash, serpentine, honk and tonk.
Melee on the streets are matched with wide-eyed, demasked returnees from the outback hallowing to the stay-in-towns, exchanging rudenesses in good and bad humor that most appear to be alive though all suffering PTSD and a dash of spookiness about what's ahead in the away of variants, disease-grade and work-place.
This recalls the winddowns after a war, homebounds and vets astonished they have survived to mourn the losses in combat.
Will it also lead to better social relations in housing, jobs, education, politics, economy and government?
Iffy, maybe, possible, depends on how the opportunists of calamity tear though a vulnerable and wounded society or decency of leaders prevails, neighbors respect each other, lend hands and money if necessary, vote for good ones, axe the mad dogs.
