We owe it all to Killer Cuomo and his Nazi sidekick Warren Wilhelm (De Blasio’s real name).
The upside? NY’s treacherous Democrat criminals lose political power.
New York, again, leads nation in population decline. And it could now lose two House seats.

New York’s population continued to decline more than any state in the nation, new figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau show.
The Empire State’s population fell by 126,355 people between July 2019 and July 2020, to 19.3 million, a drop of 0.65%, according to the preliminary figures. That’s the most of any state by total and by percentage.
Population decline continues to be a problem for New York, and it could play out in 2022 during federal reapportionment. At this rate, New York could lose as many as two U.S. House seats; it will certainly lose one, dropping it from 27 to 26 seats and impacting its clout in Washington.
New York could also be on the way to its first population decline in any decade since the 1970s, according to the Empire Center, a fiscally conservative think tank in Albany.
New York’s population has been boosted by immigrants and new births, but even that has tailed off in recent years, E.J. McMahon, the group’s founder, wrote.
“The 2020 estimated New York population represented a net decline of 41,326, or 0.21%, from the official decennial census count in 2010 — largely because foreign immigration into the state has fallen off sharply since 2017, in line with a national trend,” he wrote.
Dig DeeperFlorida surpassed New York in 2014 as the third largest state in the nation, and the gap has widened since then.
Florida gained 241,256 people since July 2019, bringing its population to 21.7 million. Only Texas, the second most populous state behind California, gained more people over the past year, the census data showed.
New York has had an exodus over the past decade of about 1.4 million people, and about 21% of them went to Florida, by far the most of any other state, data last year showed.
The latest drop in New York was part of an overall decline of 153,065 people in the Northeast between July 2019 and July 2020, the most of any region in the nation.
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Connecticut all had modest population declines over the past year.
Nationally, only Illinois neared New York in percent of population decline, down 79,487 people, or 0.63%, since last year.
Overall, the nation has gained nearly 21 million people since 2010, the Empire Center said, up 6.7%

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has downplayed the population drop as the state faces criticism for high taxes driving people to less expensive states.
In 2018, Cuomo was knocked for saying upstate’s winter weather was a significant factor in people moving elsewhere, particularly the South.
“More people are leaving upstate net? Yes. People will make demographic choices about where they want to live,” Cuomo said two years ago.
“Some of them are climate-based. Some of them are based for personal reasons. So the diminishing population in upstate is not new. People were leaving upstate New York because they had to in the past.”
Cuomo has pointed to lower income taxes installed by his administration and a property-tax cap that has limited the growth since 2011 as ways the state has sought to lower the cost of living.

I notice he never assumes responsibility for anything.
These idiots are destroying themselves…. As I have said over and over again… SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK…. Where is Hitler …. gone… What happened to Mussolini …… he and all his family were hung by the neck until dead in the square of Italy…. Where is Stalin… gone. SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK. Just take a good look at what is happening in China and Venezuela. Is that what American’s want…. NOOOOOOO! That is why New York is going down and California with it.
SOCIALISM is misplaced compassion on unknown people and run by strangers in GOVT agencies that you will eventually OWE.
CHARITY is true compassion for people you do know or whom you want to help, run by friends and true patriots in a non-profit organization.
If you want to see the destruction being inflicted on your northern neighbor under the reign of terror of Mr. Mohammad Castro, go read a few pages on Spencer Fernandos’ website. Canada is rapidly becoming Venezuela North!
For some reason, what popped into my head in response was John Wayne in “True Grit”:
“FILL YOUR HANDS, YOU SONOFABITCH!!”
Ok. Thank you
THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING!
These ‘people’ are running to RED states where life is good because they haven’t destroyed it yet and then doing the same thing there, that they did to their failed, miserable, disgusting neighborhoods, cities and states!
How is that a GOOD thing?
I wish they’d all STAY WHERE THEY ARE and die in the miserable garbage they created.
Soon there will be nowhere left to run.

The lockdown that we need is one on the leftists who are going to contaminate the red states.
I do not necessarily think that is true. I think a LOT of these liberals are waking up! I have had numerous liberal friends, since I turned INDEPENDENT, tell me how frightful their Democrat Party is and that they are leaving it to be Independent, like me, or Republican. A few of them made fun of me and stopped talking to me, but they are coming around NOW. THEY TELL ME THEIR REPS/SENATORS DO NOT REPRESENT THEM ANYMORE. That is a GOOD THING!
So, what you say may be somewhat true, but I think there is a real awakening in America…………..for the better!

You vote for democrat garbage in office, you will get get democrat garbage to represent you. So simple to understand.
As that great big billboard sign says in “Atlas Shrugged” — “BROTHERS, YOU ASKED FOR IT!!”
Or more precisely, voted for it.
EXCELLENT! I guess there really was a silver lining to whatever Dems have done to DRIVE AWAY its own citizens in their own Democrat-run territories!
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FORCE ON YOUR DISTRICTS, DEMOCRATS. You may just show them who you REALLY are to Satan, his prized possessions.
If you voted for Obama, Clinton, or Biden stay in the sh!thole you created.
Just curious, will Ditsy Cortez lose her seat in the consolidation, when NY has to give up those two seats? I am not suggesting it is a good thing to destroy a whole community, just to get rid of a reprehensible abomination like her, it is just a perk if it happens.
nice
What has a spam link to something about CBD have to do with this conversation thread?
The idiot mayor said his primary goal was redistribution of wealth. He may well be accomplishing that by running the wealth out of NYC! That is fine as long as they leave their leftist ideas behind to destroy NYC and do not pollute beautiful conservative cities and states! Otherwise you leftist cowards stay where you are at and reap what you have sewn! We do not want you polluting what is left of a great nation!
When democrats(socialists/communists) are in charge, it results in failures. Incompetence is very visible.
Circling the drain.
