>The report, prepared by researchers from the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy’s Program on Applied Demographics (PAD) with funding from New York state, projects that New York faces a significant population decline due to low fertility rates and aging that has not been offset by new arrivals.

Sounds like a good thing imo. Less traffic, crowds, etc.

This is a housing issue. People are leaving NYS because it’s too expensive and as the housing supply continues to get owned by older and wealthier people, it’s only going to get worse. Unless they can find a way to build more housing state wide, I dont see this problem fixing itself

The city is unliveable.
Out of control rents, skyrocketing crime, terrible place to do business
Easily solved nearly over night of they truely wanted to.
Edit: Come on down-voters, tell me where Im wrong. It was an amazing city 20 years ago and total mess now

I love how folks see these and then only talk about NYC, NYS is huge compared to just NYC. That said we are recent implants to NYS having just moved from WY to Rochester NY and we had another kid when we arrived because despite the „high“ cost of living here in NY, it actually wasn’t really that much higher and in some areas way lower then living in WY and CO. Property taxes are out of control, but great schools make up for it, but utilities and food are the same or in the case of water way cheaper. But considering all of America is experiencing a drop in population with folks not able to afford to have children and housing being stupid expensive cause god forbid you build affordable homes how is any of this surprising? Old folks die and there aren’t young people to replace them. The irony of course is that the fix is an increase in immigration to make up for the lack of available population for jobs. Which the upcoming administration is fully against. Derp

When the government treats you like a farm animal, taking just enough away from you so that you don’t die, no wonder people want to leave.
