Any time you read a cynical take like this about the supposed death or end of New York, just remember the following quote by philosopher Robert Pirsig. It always makes me smile:
โNew York has always been going to hell but somehow it never gets there.โ
I didnโt want you, 8
I called you overrated, 8
I thought we got fleeced, 8
We were only 2 games above .500, 8
I wasnโt thinking rationally, 8
You showed me different, 8
I was wrong about you, 8
Iโm a fucking idiot, 8
You saved me life, 8
Thank you, 8
