Many people who I grew up with in the PJ’s have left NYC. Even though their benefits are less elsewhere, they feel that they have a better quality of life.
it’s cuz f’ing Newports cost like 11 bux a pack here and they are like 4 down south.
*rob*
Guys you need to come to the “Case-Shiller: Beware the Head Fake” Thread!
Whuh is destroying Dave! Damn I feel a little Bad for Dave, Not!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
“For what it is worth, NYC spends the most per capita for poverty stricken and social welfare programs. I know if I were dirt poor I would thrive in NYC relative to other parts of the country.”
NYC spends more because it costs more to live here. Many people who I grew up with in the PJ’s have left NYC. Even though their benefits are less elsewhere, they feel that they have a better quality of life.
Sparafucile:
“In the 12-month period ending in July 2008, Salvo said, fewer immigrants have been coming in but fewer residents have been leaving.”
The trend going back many, many years is that NYC loses net population to the rest of the country, and gains population from immigration.
At the height of the boom a couple years ago NYC saw a net inflow of domestic population. This has probably slowed or been reversed, but recent immigrants have a relatively high birth rate, so now the city’s natural population growth is higher than it’s been in a long time.
In addition to the What, I believe Sam also denounced me a couple months ago and said the population of NYC was declining.
But the weather here sucks in the winter if you live on the street. I’d walk to the west coast.
For what it is worth, NYC spends the most per capita for poverty stricken and social welfare programs. I know if I were dirt poor I would thrive in NYC relative to other parts of the country.
rob- you diss the bronx way too much. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
