for good and bad?
Are sentences 1 and 2 correct:
1-I am leaving this city, for good and bad.
I am leaving this city, and that will have good and bad consequences.
2-I am leaving this city, for good or bad.
I am leaving this city, and that may have good or bad consequences.
Gratefully,
Navi.

I am leaving this city, and that will have good and bad consequences.
2-I am leaving this city, for good or bad. With the use of "or", my understanding would be that I am leaving regardless of what may happen.
I am leaving this city, and that may have good or bad consequences. Yes.
Gratefully,
Navi.
