Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility.

    I’m a little new to NYC. Is this a reference to all the scaffolding everywhere? Or the husband isn’t allowed to go outside? Of something else?
