Yeah, the circle of life! Hey Columbus, read my real-estate blog, and so forth!
Makes perfect sense. Those of us propertied New Yorkers need a wide range of hardworking, low-paid immigrants to provide for our many service needs, while the middle-classers who can’t quite cut it vacate to make room for us. Cook my dinner faster, Tranh! Back to Syracuse, Doug! It’s the circle of life!
no, people have been leaving NYC for decades. Population would be much smaller here if weren’t for foreign immigration.
Overall net domestic migration to NYC is fallacy – often used by ‘anti-gentrification’ people.
Absolutely interesting.
So much for the everyone wants to move to NYC theory and those mid-western hipsters taking over.
Instead of all the zenophobic provincial snide remarks about newcomers, we should be welcoming them.
It is interesting to read about the population increases in New York City. The article states that on a net basis more people are leaving NYC than moving to NYC, but that the population increases are due to natural increases due to births, largely from immigrant communities. I had thought that they were due to a net increase from people moving into the city. Very interesting.
