I won't feel upset if Bloomberg joins the people in the census who left my city.

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?
You might be singing a different tune if Bloomberg and his ilk decide to take your advice and leave...and taking with them the 50% of all taxes the upper 1% pay. But hey who needs reality...let's just hate Bloomberg and the rich..we will do just fine, or even better, without them, right? Who needs that other 50% of tax revenue..not me!
And for the record, the epic fail would be the public housing that has become the source of crime in NYC and which is the dumping ground for poor blacks and hispanics, not the few "white"hipster transplants which so many people enjoy complaining about.

Neither will I. And if we stop to think about it, he isn't a New Yorker anyway; he's from suburban Boston. This is what we get for electing a carpetbagger!
