I wonder what makes New York City so attractive that people would actually still want to live here....
I mean people are actually LEAVING the state of NY, but the city is something else....
The city is crowded as it already is and still people want to come !!??
Maybe its the immigrants.

How many of these ‘new citizens’ are productive, tax-paying individuals versus those just moving to liberal meccas for the handouts?

Looks like the Crescent City is really in the news these days. I wonder if the population influx is mainly of Producers, or is it Consumers?

I kinda wish that everyone that is a lib in Texas would move to NYC. I really don’t give a cr#p what city is the fastest growing.... only that the nipple people move the heck outta here and to New Orleans or NYC.

Why would anyone want to live in NYC except for the ethnic foods. Why would anyone want to live in a city where the water level is higher than the city itself.

Well, a lot of new immigrants I see in NYC are from Asia.
If you go to Flushing, NY for instance, the place is practically a replication of Taiwan, Hongkong or Seoul, Korea.
These ethnic groups tend to be quite productive and Flushing is a thriving area.
I don't go much to the Bronx ( another NYC burroagh ) so I am unsure about the immigration pattern in that area.

I lived there in 1982 and wished I could live there forever. I actually LOVED it. I guess you got it, but WOW...NY is the life.

And now for the losers...
Detroit, suffering from the turmoil in the auto industry, fell 0.5% to 912,062.
The population of Philadelphia dipped slightly to 1,447,395 from 1.446,631.
Baltimore dropped 0.5% to 636,919
Memphis fell at about the same percentage rate to 660,651.

There used to be a lot of exciting jobs in finance, fashion, arts/entertainment/media and tourism. I said "used to be" because with the current financial meltdown, it could all change.
You can give NYC credit for one thing -- it is relatively one of the safest big cities in the world ( yes, I said the world ).

If nothing else, this should be a clarion call to remind all freedom-loving people to do EVERYTHING they can do to get out of the cities. Lord knows that the ‘burbs will be bad enough in a societal collapse. But the cities? YIKES!!
