- joejohnson 15y agoI would love to read this article. Too bad it's blocked by paywall :(
- epc 15y agoMy biased summary: Unsurprisingly, a report by the right-wing “Manhattan Institute” takes extreme joy in the 2010 Census numbers showing New York State “losing” 1.6MM people, declining in population from 18.97MM people in 2000 to a new low of 19.38MM people in 2010. This is clearly because of New York State's high tax structure, loose liberal morals, and socialist subsidy culture and has nothing to do with multiple recessions, the unfortunate incident of September 11, 2001, nor a federal revenue system which sucks tax revenue out of urban areas and sends them to rural areas or a state education system which penalizes urban areas with a lower reimbursement rate per student than in suburban or rural areas. -- These studies always conflate New York State and New York City. Upstate New York is dying and has been for several decades. There are many reasons for that, taxes may well be one reason. New York City has a constant flow of people into and out of the city, and certainly post 9/11 many people left for many reasons, some economic, some out of fear, others out of pain and anguish.

- joejohnson 15y agoHere's an un-paywalled article on this subject: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hT9kSgvL0xg20qBVfJnyoF5FKYTw?docId=CNG.0dcc70d787af82f2b283aeb2af9d940e.311 http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hT9kSgvL0...
- famedriver 15y agoSay what? The article is bullshit. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/36000.html http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/36000.html State Population growth since 2000: 2.1% Kings county(Brooklyn): 1.6% increase New York county(Manhattan): 3.2% increase Queens county: 0.1% * * The city claims this number is way off, and it probaby is. I think the article is comparing NYC, not to 2000, but to its peak population in the mid 20th century.
- epc 15y agoI know this thread is dead but just for completeness, New York City has filed a formal challenge to the 2010 Census results: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20110810/FREE/110819994 http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20110810/FREE/110819994 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/11/nyregion/ny-says-census-undercounted-brooklyn-and-queens.html?src=hn http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/11/nyregion/ny-says-census-un...
