I know several 50-60 somethings that have second homes in Texas, Arizona, Florida, South Carolina and California and plan to eventually relocate there. Milder winters seem to be the primary driver.
New York LOST 2 SEATS in the House of Representatives after the last Census.
SC gained 1 seat. Texas gained I seat, I believe. NC was within a hairs breathe of gaining 1 seat.
Yes, Texas did have a population boom over the last census, and no I'm not disputing that NYC lost a seat, what I am saying is that they are NOT in decline, and especially not when compared to years past.
What a shame people feel that way about big cities, oh well have fun in your sterile looking Kitsch Culture less subdivision. Lucky the latest generations happen to disagree with you.
Not really most of my generation wants rural to suburban.

Wrong..With current leadership NYC is going back to the wilding of the 70`s.

Nah, I'm in the country now. There was more people on half of my city block than are in the whole town I live in now. Laid-back, friendly, and peaceful. I don't miss anything about the city or its 'culture'. Whatever floats one's boat I guess.
How Come they have actually made up completely for the population losses of the late 20th century and are at record population highs. Furthermore, NYC has traditionally been a city of immigrants, meaning that immigrants settle there first, and then leave (domestically of course) to other parts of the us.

OK, I guess if you're in the country, then your opinion is more reasonable. though I have to ask, why are you on a site specifically called CITYdata?

I am just comparing the city I grew up in, Philadelphia, to where I am now. No comparison. Cost of living is really low, everyone is friendly, virtually no crime, and the land is pristine. I do not miss the high cost of living, the perpetually pissed off population, the rampant crime, and the filth of the city. My opinion is just that. I didn't mean to offend, it is just my opinion of the comparison as I see it.
Leaving NY saved me buckets of money. Why be taxed to death to support public union and welfare parasites?
As for the "new" New Yorkers, a surprisingly high number come for arguably the most generous welfare and Medicaid in the nation (perhaps CA is worse?)
I see dozens of them every day in the ER's of the hospitals I work for, most are fresh off the plane from the Dominican Republic using the ER to link to a social worker to get Medicaid and housing vouchers, and they get it it all too.
These people are not contributing, but only taking.
