I see this in my building. The 0-5 age group is getting more numerous every day. While the overall birth rate is declining in New York, this is mostly due to the middle class in Brooklyn and Queens. But surprisingly, the lowest birth rate in NYC is among blacks. I guess the taxes are beginning to bite everyone.

I think NYC is a great place to raise kids if you can afford it. I was tempted when my kids were young, perhaps I made a mistake in turning down the job offer.

If if if……

“But surprisingly, the lowest birth rate in NYC is among blacks.”

Not surprising when you realize that more than 1 in 3 pregnancies in NYC among black women end in abortion.

The echo baby boom is reproducing. My children’s friends are reproducing big time. I see families of three four five and six.

The wealthy have been reproducing for a while.

No longer is there belief in that zero population garbage

The wealthy reproducing is a very good thing.
That’s how nature and evolution are supposed to work.

New York City is expensive so it make sense that only the rich are having kids.

Only reason the black birthrate is so low in NYC is that the black abortion rate in NYC is so high.
