New York is losing residents at an alarming rate

Despite the nation’s longest economic expansion, the Empire State is actually losing population, an analysis of US Census data released Monday reveals.
The total state population as of mid-2019 was 19,453,561 — a drop of 76,790, or 0.4 percent, from the previous year, according to the study by the Empire Center for Public Policy.
New York was one of only 10 states to suffer a total population decline in 2018-19 — its fourth consecutive annual decrease after five years of growth, and the largest population drop of any state.
A large influx of foreign immigrants — coupled with natural increase of births over deaths — typically offset New York’s domestic migration exodus.
But foreign immigration has also plummeted and even the NYC region’s population growth is flat, McMahon said.
“The cost of living in New York — the high taxes, regulations and housing costs — are making it untenable to live the American dream here,” said Borelli, who wistfully noted how many high school chums have moved out of New York.
“It’s hard to see how this changes with progressive Democrats entrenched in government.”

Illinois’ population decreased in 2019 by an estimated 51,250 people, or 0.4%, marking the sixth consecutive year the state has lost residents, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Since the turn of the decade, Illinois has lost more residents than any other state, with a drop of about 159,700 people, or 1.2% of its population. Only three other states have shrunk since 2010: Connecticut, Vermont and West Virginia — with West Virginia losing the largest share of its residents, a 3.3% decline.
Let’s hope that where ever they move to that they figured out that voting dim IS the problem.
However, many dims are not smart enough to figure that out.
I know 1st hand with all the dims moving to AZ from CA and continuing to vote dim which has turned my state purple.
I can’t blame it on all the illegals either, we have voter ID.
