I would hope that the small population increase for NYC last year will quiet these folks who keep repeating the foolish projections (by PlaNYC) about 1 million more NYers by 2030.

9:24:

So at this rate that's only 540,000 new people moving to the city between 2007 and 2030.

A little less than the entire city of Boston!

Gee, I think a town the size of Boston moving to NYC is pretty impressive. Where do we fit it?

Sounds like a lot of new development headed our way!

thank you 10:32.

the addition of every condo in atlantic yeards (should it happen) would be 14,000. and everyone says that's insanity.

that's HALF the amount that moved to NYC JUST LAST YEAR.

9:24 is an idiot.

9:24 is also not taking into consideration the explosion of families in nyc and the increased births it will bring in the next 20 years.

even with the .35% increase in population a year, we'll still be at nearly 9 million in 2030.

you don't think that's a lot, 9:24?

that's larger than los angeles and chicago combined.

Sorry, 9:24. Hopes not lived up to. Nerves hit as well. Fucked buyers will desperately cling to their weak ass population argument. Like 0.35% will be sustainable through this recession. Like 0.35% even distributes well into the Brooklyn condo/brownstone pool of buyers. Like 0.35% is even to be believed.

Population changes aint saving the excess fat in home "values". Next!
