Politico NY’s City Hall Bureau Chief Sally Gold was in Iowa covering Bill de Blasio entrance into the 2020 primary and she has some thoughts on the state. Some very, very bad thoughts:
Observations from Iowa – it is very flat, driving is monotonous, there is more unbuilt land in one block than NYC has in an entire borough, dirt roads are terrifying, no one carries almond milk and caucus-goers are extremely well-informed.

And she’s really eager to get back to that subway!
And @ndhapple and I will never be so happy to step onto a subway again.

I guess being called "extremely well-informed" is a compliment, but it's sorta like being told you're very handsome by the Elephant Man
