As the pandemic wears on, New York and Los Angeles have never felt farther apart—and it seems likely that even more distancing, both social and cultural, will be the unhappy drill for years to come…
It was never really about money. The underlying issues were always personality, expectations, point of view. After all, New York and Los Angeles are a disparate life experience. To presume a shared outlook from the two is foolish. Having worked as a Los Angeles correspondent for New York-based publications—Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Inside.com, The New York Times—I guarantee it.
As of Sunday, based on official coronavirus statistics from both coasts, New York City, with about 8.3 million residents, had suffered a per capita exposure rate about seven times as high that in Los Angeles County, with a population of just over 10 million. Seven and a half weeks into the lockdown, New York had about 2,200 cases per 100,000 population, while Los Angeles had 312 per 100,000.
But mostly, we should be on guard against long-term cultural damage from this vast and growing experience gap. New York has undergone something profoundly more threatening than what we have experience in sunny West Los Angeles, where case counts are relatively low, and the virus, for many, remains more an inconvenience or an economic hardship than a mortal threat.
