Lots of girls were reluctant to work in Flushing pre pandemic for the risk of being noticed by friends or locals. Manhattan was far enough that those in their non AMP life wouldn’t find them.
Now it’s different. Manhattan offices have not reopened and a huge part of the clientele has not returned. Girls are going where the money can be made relatively safely - masked customers, Asian only, or places local to them. Plus, it’s not like the bosses of the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Flushing places don’t know each other and have the same WeChat networks for advertising girls to come work for them.
