New York City has regained roughly three-quarters of the population that fled during the first year of the pandemic, the latest signal that the return of in-person activities has jumpstarted the region's recovery.
Since July, the city has registered a net gain of move-ins compared to 2019 levels, a first since the start of the pandemic, according to a new analysis by City Comptroller Scott Stringer. The increase has been fueled by an influx of people to wealthier neighborhoods whose residents fled during the height of the health crisis.
The findings are based on change of address data filed with the U.S. Postal Service, a measure of those who request mail forwarding that leaves out wide swaths of the city, including individuals moving from abroad. But experts say the data, while limited, offers a useful status update on the dramatic population swings that have impacted the city over the last two years.

Good someone has to pay my pension because I'm definitely not coming back! Now NYS... maybe. I still lean towards fully retiring to the Adirondacks.
Visited lake placid a couple weeks ago, and absolutely loved it. I couldn’t believe I was even in this crap state. If it was such a far drive I would consider a second home up there for sure.

Head slightly further west to Saranac Lake next time if you really want to fall in love.

That's very beautiful over there - very therapeutic. My aunt and uncle live in those mountains. Originally from Far Rockaway, they moved to the Adirondacks back in the 70's when they were young and the city became pure garbage.
Only they have a big problem now: Although they can do things like cut the grass, they are unable to cut the cattails around their pond, and have difficulty putting the pool away for the winter as they have approached their 80's. Although they're still strong for their age, their children and my brother frequently have to go up there to help them maintain their property. They have recently posted their home for sale with hopes of moving to Florida instead.
By the way, I'm sure you know, but Upstate doesn't have the politics that Downstate has. They're pretty red up there!
Its a shame that upstate is stuck tied to the city and Long Island.
Li is all RED bud.
