A ton of residents in Binghamton are from NYC, particularly the black population.

The article stated that "New York City Human Resource Administration " is the ones arranging these upstate moves. I was stating that perhaps these are the individuals who have never seen Binghamton but are making assumptions about the cities ability to absorb these people.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah they probably have no idea. They probably don't care.

That is true. Some of the white residents as well.

As well as its Hispanic population.

Ironically, gentrification in NYC likely plays a factor in this or others moving to an area like Binghamton due to affordability, among other things.
