Population estimates from the Census Bureau indicate so many people are fleeing New York state that they could lose up to two congressional seats in the coming round of reapportionment.
The latest round of numbers indicates New York’s population dropped by more than any other state in the nation based on percentage and total numbers.
A net total of 126,355 people fled the Empire State between July 2019 and July 2020, marking a 0.65% percent drop.
Spectrum News reports that the drop is despite new births and an influx of immigrants, and could lead to a loss of two seats depending on which numbers are used for reapportionment.
“New York could lose at least one House district based on the initial estimates of its April 1 population,” Spectrum explains. “Two seats could be lost if the congressional reapportionment is based on July 1 estimates, according to Jeff Wice, a New York redistricting expert.”
It would be easy to suggest the population drain is based on pandemic fears – New York has experienced the highest number of deaths in the country.
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s own actions have contributed to that death toll.
...
But, as political commentator Jeff Dunetz states, “New Yorkers have been running from the states’ burdensome taxes for at least the past two decades.”
Indeed, a 2009 Wall Street Journal report shows that between 2000 and 2008 New York saw a population drop of 8 percent, noting that “taxes are driving people away.”

If they’re Conservatives, we’d be happy to take them here in PA. If they’re Chinese Democrats, stay away from PA.
That’s OK. The ChiComs are buying up all the real estate at bargain-basement prices.
It will be filled with ChiComs in short order.
With 100% rigged elections, the shifting of Representatives between States is meaningless. Might as well rearrange the Titanic’s deck chairs for all the good it will do unless we get control of the government immediately, starting with our President’s 2nd win.

Yes, that occurred to me as I read the article.
Good. Redistrict and get rid of AOC district. If she does not stop pooping on the dems they will.
You can hear it now: "There's not enough bike paths or recycling laws here, we need to contact our new city councilman."
We have the rot of Venezuela in all the blue states - and the voting styles to boot.

NY has been losing seats for decades. When it was the most populous state, it peaked at 45 seats from 1933-53. Dropped to 43 from 1953-63. 41 from 1963-73. 39 from 1973-83. Lost 5 seats to 34 from 1983-93. Dropped 3 to 31 from 1993-2003. Dropped to 29 from 2003-13. Dropped to 27 in 2013 to date. Dropping to 25 as of 2023 would be about right.
The Democrats will just pick them up in Florida.
