Weren\u2019t we told time and again that people were leaving town by the zillions?<\/p>\n<p>But even as we pop the corks, bear in mind the data\u2019s sneaky April Fools\u2019 factor. The count reflected New York City\u2019s population only as of April 1, 2020, before an undetermined number of people left town as the pandemic took hold, though also before some others moved in.<\/p>\n<p>But the 10-year growth to a total 8.8 million stories in the naked city is wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> despite the caveats.

Bad mayors, bad laws, even 9\/11 .\u2009.\u2009. New York City still looms large in the American landscape.

How could we be shrinking when neighborhoods from the north Bronx to southern Queens sprouted new buildings that filled up as soon as they went on the market? And when streets and parks were so impassable that the temporary COVID-reduced density almost felt welcome?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we aren\u2019t remotely out of the woods.
