New Yorkers & San Franciscans Leaving in Droves

By Larry Johnson, March 6, 2021

With apologies to John Kander & Fred Erb, ...composer & lyricist respectively of Sinatra’s classic, "New York, New York".

It is time to update that tune:

"Start spreading the news, they’re leaving en masse
Don’t want to live in it: New York, New York
This U Haul Truck rental, is pricey as hell
But it will get me out of it: New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city without a mask,
Go out on the town and not have to ask.
The big city blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start, away from New York

Can’t stand the crime and fear, I want anywhere but here
Good bye to you, New York, New York"

...residents flee liked panicked passengers on the Titanic frantic to grab the nearest lifeboat.
