New York State popularion Growth and the "bullshit myth" people were drive away from NY [View all]

The Right Wing NY Republicans must be choking on those words that Cuomo drove people away with high taxes, business regulations, guns, etc.

Upstate cities have been seeing growth in the past decade, reversing decades of decline. All told, New York State gained just over 400,000 people from 2010 to 2020. During that decade, New York City added over 600,000


Well, that fact seems to call the Right Wing Republican " bullshit myth" that the former Governor drove people away in droves. That NY high taxes and regulations turned people away. My county alone grew by 37,500 people. I hope ever Democrat in NY reminds people, NY has thrived even with the calamities from 911 to storms and flooding. NY Strong wasn't just the Governor saying it was what he led.

Lots of interesting facts, Yonkers is the next largest city, Westchester has a majority minority population
