Could it be too much taxation?

In 1950, Buffalo New York had a population of 580,132. And in 2000, it is down to 292,648.

Most cities in New York State have lost population in the last five years.NY is a left-wing "workers paradise."

NY is a left-wing "workers paradise."The wonderful thing about America is that when a state is a failure, all people have to do is to leave for greener pastures.

taxation, no economic development, industrial jobs being sent overseas, bad weather, people moving to the Sun Belt.

I expect New York to lose three electoral votes after the next Census.

Anyone have the PA numbers? I can't help but wonder if people are moving just across the state line. Taxes in PA are *low* compared to NJ and NY (though they are *really* low in DE).

The Times will tout how Hillary is using tax money to bribe a chip maker to put a plant upstate, giving her credit for jobs created by confiscated money.

Same thing is happening in New Jersey, the current crisis over high taxes. Property or income taxes? If so, how high are they? I had a buddy at work talking about how bad things were in parts of the state. He used Elmira, NY (I've never been there) as an example and pulled up listings on a popular real estate website for the place. It looked as if the whole darn town was for sale, and for cheap. I'm not from that part of the country and have never seen anything like it.

>>Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse lost population, around 4 percent in each city, during the year ending July 1, 2005. All three cities have lost population each year since the last nationwide census in 2000, according to the bureau.<<
My beloved wife (who is from NY city) responded "I guess people are coming to their senses."

I expect New York to lose three electoral votes after the next Census.Now that will be exciting. However, the Democrats will gerrymander the districts in New York so there'll be no Republicans left. But we will get increased representation in states like Utah, North Carolina, and Texas who are more conservative than RINOs found in New York State anyway.

I am proposing that we convert it to a wilderness preserve, so New Yorkers can have their own pristine area and can stop worrying about Alaska.

Check this link. Among other very cool things, it gives the highest population attained of the major cities in the state. Buffalo, in 1950, had 580,000; Rochester, 332,000 (about what Pittsburgh & St. Louis have now); Syracuse, 220,000; and Albany, 135,000. Utica had 101,000 in 1930.

If I remember correctly, NY lost two House seats after the last census. Under a deal struck with Joseph Bruno - the Republican Majority Leader of the state senate - one Democrat lost his seat as did one Republican. What sort of deal will be struck after the 2010 census is unknown, but Bruno is a shrewd man and he'll extract every concession available.

Are you serious? Buffalo's population has dropped almost 300,000?
