Instead of 8.4 million happy New Yorkers now its a disgruntiled 8.1 million New Yorkers. I guess its an epic fail for Bloomberg and for the entire city that we live in. WHen you have white Hipster Transplants who are anti Govt and illegal immigrants who fear the government, your going to get a huge problem on your hands because these people dont want to be documented for what ever purposes.
My thing is this that Bloomberg and his croonies along with his cult followers need to understand that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers left the city aswell so I guess the population stagnates to some degree. Not much loss and not much gain. I know many people who left New York City for greener pastures and for some it was the best move they ever made. People are also born and people also die in this city. Blacks are going back down south after years of being concentrated in housing prjs, Puerto Ricans are going to PA, NJ and FL. The white flight in NYC is still not over the Irish and Italians are still leaving. Many of the cities Jews are getting old and dying of age. Then you have immigrants both legal and illegal, and migrants such as Transplants from across America moving into NYC. People also switch boroughs like how many Washington Heights residents are moving to the BRonx. I dont blame federal workers for screwing up the New York City Census, there just serving thier community and our country, most of my blame goes to Bloomberg and the people he caters too like illegal immigrants and gentrifying transplants from middle America. At the end of the day these people dont wanna get counted, oh well. Bloomberg should not be upset he help create this mess by pricing out many people in this city. Not only that but that planyc2030 when nyc is projected to hit 9 million probably wont happen by then either. I guess areas of Brooklyn and QUeens wont get much federal aid money. What you guys think about Bloombergs demise on the cities census?

It's true that many people in NYC are moving away because prices are just too high. I don't think Bloomberg is the only reason. Mayors past also had a hand in changing NYC to what we have today.

I think it will be a cold day in hell when an illegal lets the govt know where they are living - there are about 22- 24 ppl living in the single family home that is semi attached to ours...I doubt they filled out their census form.
There are other threads that discuss the mayor and his policies. Please return to a discussion of census results. Discussions of the administration that are DIRECTLY related to the census are acceptable. All other commentary is for another thread. Thank you.

um, maybe because we let so many immigrants from third world countries into our country that do not know their ass from their elbow and do not fill out the cencus reports........
Not sure why this is a Bloomberg problem? Or why it is an immigrant problem? Immigrants have always been major players in NYC forever, so counting immigrants, legal or otherwise, has always been a problem, regardless of who the Mayor is. I am still unclear as to the misinformation and pointless hate towards this Mayor....and yet to see any valid reasons for the hostility.
The city has become more expensive because it has become more attractive to the global population, which puts alot of pressure on the "regular" wealthy people, and the almost wealthy people, and on down the line...we are all dealing with it. The census numbers seem screwy to me but counts are notoriously difficult in the city due to illegal subdivided, illegal roommates, illegal basement conversions, etc.. NONE of which is new and has been a historical problem.
I think NYC would be great with 5 million people. This city is becoming too crowded.
It is only going to get more crowded, every time they tear a structure down, they replace it with high rise condos, so more people can live per square foot.
Hey if it was up to our "dumb ass" Mayor, Manhattan would have of had an area there also, like Manhattan is not crowded enough, we meed an arena......................
