Not beating myself up because of Covid 19 but because where I live has become very expensive. To be fair everything changed when mariijuana was legalized in this state...one of the first states to do so. People started to move here in droves and rents shot up. It all happened in the space of 18 months. Large apartment complexes are shooting up everywhere...blighting the landscape. Traffic has become insane. Everyone is distressed about the traffic. All services have become more expensive. There are not enough jobs to sustain the increased population

My son doesn't live in or near NYC. He and his girlfriend are working from home and staying safe.

Maybe I am safer here from Covid 19...but mountain states are very different than coastal states. I have lived in both and find people in coastal states are my kind of people.

Home is home and family is family. It's a difficult time to be far from both.
