“#De Blasio gives NYC hope with July 1 reopening target<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

More than a year after the city that never sleeps went into hibernation, Mayor Bill de Blasio is rallying the public with hope. \u201cWe are ready to bring New York City back fully on July 1st, all systems go, because you\u2019ve earned it,\u201d he announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to see as much open as possible before then \u2014 as would most New Yorkers. But setting a serious target lets 8 million city-dwellers stuck too long in mostly tiny apartments look forward to a sweet season in the sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be the summer of New York City,\u201d Hizzoner enthused. \u201cI think people are going to flock to New York City because they want to live again.\u201d<\/p>\n

He announced the date on \u201cMorning Joe,\u201d then hedged a bit at his later press conference, calling it a \u201cgoal.\u201d But he\u2019s taken a big step forward himself by ordering 80,000 municipal workers to return to their offices May 3. That, along with his July target, should get companies thinking about doing the same. <\/p>\n

Bringing office workers back is crucial to recovery; much retail and many restaurants depend on that weekday traffic. And the more people around, the safer everyone feels. Bustling subways don\u2019t seem as dangerous as nearly empty trains.<\/p>\n

And all that life and security should help tempt the tourists back, too.<\/p>\n

The city lost a record 631,000 jobs last year, with a full two-thirds of the entertainment and leisure sector put out of work. It needs them back, ASAP.<\/p>\n

Too many businesses are still struggling to survive as capacity limits keep out customers; shows and other venues can\u2019t afford to restart with just 33 percent seating. Curfews cramp the Big App<\/a>le\u2019s legendary nightlife. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank\u201d Gov. Andrew Cuomo for those restrictions, but the mayor is right to pressure the gov to lift them \u2014 especially since the arbitrary limits are harsher on the city than on the rest of the state. Indeed, Cuomo (despite his whining) admitted of reopening, \u201cI think we can do it before\u201d July 1.<\/p>\n

We can do it. COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths keep falling, and (per the mayor) 36 percent of city adults are fully vaccinated, with 95 percent showing for their second shots, beating the national average. If you haven\u2019t already, do your part by getting jabbed.<\/p>\n

Danny Meyer, the fabled restaurateur de Blasio just named to head the New York City Economic Development Corp. board, said it best at the Thursday presser. \u201cNew York is a city that thrives when people are together. This is a city that is built on people wanting to live closely together, to work closely together, to be live audiences, to be performers.\u201d<\/p>\n

We look forward to welcoming that New York back.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
