my thanks to the manhattan institute president. its former president, who is also here, larry moen.vice president vanessa mendoza and Ãbfor planning this event. i would like to thank my family, my husband and my daughter flora are both here tonight. the first sentence of the book is a question, why not socialism. this is a question we ask ourselves last night we watch the presidential debate. how do we answer it? it's a question all centrist, all commonsense people, all markets people want to be able to deliver in answer to. we all really feel an obligation to undertake those a long-term investment in projects that would open american minds that american minds see the challenge in the tragedy of socialism. we want to share the record of the past or the record of venezuela so that when they come to vote or leave businesses and families younger americans recognize what is not useful policy. but where are we? it's november and 2019. educating is a long-term investment. some of us don't have the heart for the long haul. we feel frustrated at the prospect of slow outcomes and perhaps out

it was the only source of fresh water on manhattan for a long time. it was filled up with garbage and the slum was built on top of that garbage filled landfill. the ground underneath the five points slum was really unstable, unlike the rest of manhattan which is bedrock. the contractor was easily contaminate -- ground water was easily contaminated. all of the outhouses, all of their material is sinking into the groundwater. the state of new york chartered a company to deliver drinking water to the people of new york. that company, instead of tapping upstream sources of water, the bronx river at the time which was fresh and clean, they thought that would be, that would cost too much money. so they made a decision like with flint, michigan, they decided not to tap the good water. they decided they would sink their wells in the middle of that slum. that water toed one third of the people of new york. this is through repeated cholera epidemics. this is the good part, the person who maneuvered all of this was aaron burr, alexander hamilton's nemesis and mu

manhattan.is brooklyn, brooklyn heights, along the l train into williamsburg, stuff like that. but if you look at data around outer boroughs, bronx, queens, south brooklyn, you see that the reduction is only about 17%. now what that says, that doesn't factor in yesterday and today there was more after lockdown measures in place. but what that says, that people that can afford and are able to work from home, they will work from home. companies are able to do that. but those people that can't, unless you have a full shutdown they're not going to do it. >> i hear you. only thing is you just said data from yesterday. you know sixth avenue didn't look like that yesterday. it has been since last night when everything got shutdown at 8:00. i don't reject your premise. >> one last thing to mention. impact on hospital system is lagging indicator because it is indicator what your infection rate was seven days prior. so basically the real message is this. if we don't stop transmission of virus in new york

i am actually on the east side of manhattan at another hospital in that same system. no matter where you are a new york city, you are at a hospital, you are at a hospital that is under strain. here at mount sinai hospital, the east side of manhattan, authorities are saying that system wide at its hospitals, mount sinai is going to set up a triage stand outside of emergency rooms to accommodate the anticipated spike in the number of coronavirus patients. now, let's take a live look just east of where i am standing in elmhurst, queens. this is the hardest hit borough in new york city. it accounts for 32% of all coronavirus cases. and the epicenter -- the epicenter of the epicenter. they say they died at the hospital and a 24-hour span, including a 38-year-old. the doctor tells "the new york times" of the facility is overwhelmed. people that are lined up outside, waiting to be tested for the virus. they call the scene of the hospital "apocalyptic." at the outside of my report, at mount sinai hospital in the west side, there was a growing controversy and frustration. nurs

i think manhattan really in many ways, the people in manhattan, many of them are in that party and they just don't know what's going on in the lower deck and so for me it took a while, once i started the learning the people and meeting them and learning about backgrounds and talking to them i realized they are complicated human beings and the stories that we learned about their household, about their backgrounds and the journeys that they took really just were so alarming and so, you know, touching and heartbreaking that, you know, we just couldn't help, wow, we have to tell the rest of the world. >> what's going down below, your book uses another analogy in the title, tightrope and some of my speeches in congress i talk about trying to pave a wide solid path for families to thrive and here is not just a narrow path but a tightrope, what are you conveying by that? >> absolutely. the whole point is that, you know, for those of us who are in the upper middle class who are very well educated, at least graduated some high school and some college, and if we fall we can pick ourselves up, but

i want to thank the manhattan institute for holding this lunch and everything else they have done. when i started writing big-city columns for the new york times i found this was the one voice of sanity on urban policy and i have always given city journal and the manhattan institute the lion's share of credit for turning around new york city. i'm so impressed with them, i think they will save us from the current mayor. today i would like to suggest how to save the rest of the world. a mission that involves - "the power of bad: how the negativity effect rules us and how we can rule it" is about a fundamental fact of life that is just now becoming clear to scientists. it is the universal tendency of bad events and bad emotions to affect us more strongly than good ones. in short, bad is stronger than good. that was the title of a famous paper by my co-author, the social psychologist and since he published it there have been hundreds of studies looking at the impact on all parts of our life and in the book, we wrote this book to show people how to deal with it and how this negativity b

brian anderson on the editor of city journal and i want to welcome you here today on behalf of the manhattan institute. it is with great pleasure that i get to introduce joh john tierney and co-author with an esteemed useful new book "the power of bad: how the negativity effect rules us and how we can rule it it". it is on sale, by the way outside the room here. john has long been one of the leading voices on the intersection of science and public policy. and make no mistake, however calmly, reasonably expressed, his is a very contrary invoice. it was john's "new york times" column, the big city, which ran from the mid- 90s until 2002, that first made me a fan of his work. there, he took on any number of prevailing myths about cities. from the efficacy of rent control to the root causes of homelessness to environmental policy. one remarkable column was his irritation at rosie o'donnell's relentless public criticism of mayer rudy giuliani's use of law enforcement to get the homeless off of new york city sidewalks back in the '90s. so how would o'donnell's, hometown deal with a similar problem
