That seems too far ahead to make projections. The losses all seem too large as do the gains. I don't see Rochester or Buffalo losing that much population, and I don't see NYC and Poughkeepsie gaining that much.

I agree that it seems too far ahead. We don't know what will change in 20 years. Then again, in NYS government not much ever does. The new boss is always the same as the old boss.
