“700K will be a pimple compared to the influx of people we will see in the next 5-10 years.”
And they will come here to work where?
That is the missing piece of your Mad Max scenario.
10:28 Sorry, I had just got of the phone with someone from your neck when I read the reply.
For the record: We do not have Indians camped outside of our city gates looking to trade beads.
We do not have cows within the city limits and not everyone drives a pickup truck- although I do own one.
I did, however, convince one of the NYC reporters I had living here that we do play rooster calls from our city hall at 6AM because we miss the chickens so much.
Suburbia is dying. The cities are going to be the last refuge when gas is $8.00+ a gallon and paying to live in 4,000 sq foot McMansion is no longer economically or environmentally feasible.
700K will be a pimple compared to the influx of people we will see in the next 5-10 years.
even the 700K increase is most unlikely.
Very recent increases are extremely small.

Thanks. I checked. The City’s Planning Department projects 8.7 million people in NYC by 2020, up from 8 million in 2000. Not quite a million, but close enough. (A very different state of affairs from the 1960’s when Park Slope was “discovered” and the city’s population was declining.)

He. I have known people hwo have been burned and just trying to offer some very simple and effective advice. Thanks for the sarcasm.
Wish people would stop repeating that NYC growth figure.
Most analysis concludes that is a very generous optimistic figure – with very little reality behind it.
