In the past year there've been articles about NYC's decline due to the many people leaving the city, unwilling to pay enormous rents when much of the city is closed for a year. With that, three of NYC's motors (continuous inflow of new people with hopes and dreams, an city with a lot of existing cultural infrastructure, and tourism) came to a standstill. To then write an article completely not addressing any of those issues and simply saying that NYC has more people pre-covid 2020 census, than in 2010... is just silly. Especially if you then spend the first quarter of the article immediately explaining that 500k of the 600k of the increase was due to an administrative correction. It's not sure that NYC is in decline, but this article definitely doesn't provide any evidence to the contrary.
