LOL. One of Ben Kingsley's best performances as Don Logan!

It is amazing how many English and Irish pubs you see in Spain nowadays, and not just in Torremollinos.

Urban flight. Mass emigration from MA and NY (two states with more people moving out than in).

NYC has actually gained population since the early 1990s. The parts of NY state that have LOST population are the rustbelt and small towns upstate.

I do not know the exact date that it was written, but it must have been very recently. I received the article a few days ago from someone in Europe.

Yeah I don’t want all the white europeans in the US cause they will likely just vote for the same things that caused them to leave their original countries.

(Not all of them but enough to screw us up worse.)

My ancestors left that place centuries ago. Any thoughts I ever had of relocating anywhere pretty much ended with all this Islam is gonna take over stuff. :)

Maybe this is why, in Tennessee these days you’re never far from a British accent!

In my experience, there is no town in Arizona so small that you can't find a limey or two living there.

My new Son-in-law is a Brit,
The Top ten reasons they chose to live in the US.
10. Gas is much cheaper
9. More personal freedom
8. Taxes are much cheaper
7. Fewer people on welfare and fewer poor people
6. Health Care and hospitals are far superior
5. Conservative values
4. Clothes, Food utilities is much cheaper.
3. Ability to participate in politics and change laws.
2. Ability to change personal circumstances through education and hard work. (American Dream)
1. Fewer immigrants that are unwilling to assimilate. England has been overrun by immigrants from third world countries and European Union. Muslims are setting out make England a muslim country and will do it any way they can.

Yes but mostly people moving to NYC are European and Latino immigrants before they resettle elsewhere in the United States.

It's far too expensive to stay there for long and there are better (and cheaper) opportunities in other places, especially in the American South.

Actually, the Lower East Side and the hipster hells of Brooklyn (especially Williamsburgh) are filled with immigrants from Cleveland, the DC area, and even California who are either Trustafarians or involved in arts/media. Manhattan is a melting pot of the very wealthy of all nationalities, while the poorer immigrants (Latino, Asian, eastern European, etc.) tend to settle in Queens, the Bronx, and outer Brooklyn.

Interesting statistic: 2006 was the first year since the early 1960s when white babies outnumbered babies of all other races. The "pale tide" is even overtaking much of Harlem and Washington Heights as we speak.

Judging from the fact that real estate is still up (albeit slightly) while real estate in the sunbelt/south is down and, in some cases, plumetting, I would say NYC (and the inner suburbs) is in better shape than most places.

That is a bit surprising. According to Pat Buchanan’s Death of the West book, rich white folks are supposedly too occupied to have children. But the recent trends in Manhattan do not seem to fit that pattern.

I guess I was thinking of NYC - more people move out of NYC than move in

Here’s details on MA (I know you didn’t question this)
In every single year over the last 12 years, Mass. lost more people than it attracted (excluding international
immigrants). Mass. has suffered a net loss of 213,191
domestic out-migrants.

NYC Population:

1970 7,894,862 1.5% 1980 7,071,639 -10.4% 1990 7,322,564 3.5% 2000 8,008,288 9.4%

Most of the population loss is NOT in NYC, it is in the economically depressed igloo that is Upstate.

“New York is the most populous city in the United States, with an estimated 2007 population of 8,274,527 (up from 7.3 million in 1990).[57] This amounts to about 40% of New York State’s population and a similar percentage of the metropolitan regional population. Over the last decade the city’s population has been increasing and demographers estimate New York’s population will reach between 9.2 and 9.5 million by 2030.[103]”
