Why would that make a difference? The relevant figure is the population of each individual city, not the total population of the country.

For real. I love visiting NY for the fact that you can get anything you want at any time, have incredible museums/music/art/restaurants, and some pretty amazing historic stuff.... but visiting and living there are 2 different things. Unless you're in the 99th percentile that runs around in wealthy circles, you're mostly stuck in the annoying dirtiness of that congested concrete jungle.

Well I can agree with that. My family used to live in Brooklyn and yes it was shitty compared to living in Manhattan. Hell they should stop including all the other boroughs when talking about New York City.

Look at the population numbers. Seem like fairly average net movement figures to me.

That's from 10/11 years ago - not necessarily indicative of more recent trends.

It has only been recent that all of the baby boomers have been retiring. I would argue that a lot of recent movement is directly related to them considering there are about 72 million baby boomers, all of whom are at or are just coming into retirement age.

With that being said, we can't really make any concrete assumptions.

Theresa, believe me- if CA, NY, MI, etc. were not increasingly burdensome on the taxpayer, there would be less people fleeing. It has nothing to do with weather; California has awesome weather, yet residents of beautiful places like San Diego are leaving in record numbers. It has everything to do with the cost of living. Look where they're going- states with way lower costs of living and better tax rates. The nice weather is just icing on the cake. Plus it's not just people- businesses are leaving and relocating too, to the same lower tax/cost states without forced unionization of workers.

I don't know the "average" figures, and I doubt you do, either. I still think it's informative (although perhaps not in the politically slanted way promoted by the OP) if a city is losing many times the number of people it's gaining, or vice versa.

To me this says absolutely nothing other than previously known common sense. People from the coasts often move within each other, with a key few southern hubs, and everything else is just "filler" states that just mingle amongst themselves.

I don't and I agree it is informative, but I'm hesitant to start panicking about it.

Hahaha, ok, looks like I touched a bit of a nerve there.

I'm truly sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention.

I'm curious to know - Do you consider anyone and everyone that doesn't like NYC to be retarded?

You've lived in quite a few places, I'm sure, and have traveled widely. So I'm sure you have some perspective in this matter, right?

Posted by simplcake on Jun-20-2010 07:48:

sure thing buddy sort yourself before you not sortyourself
