NY and CA set to lose congressional house seats.

[libertysnake]

NY is set to lose at least one seat, if not two.

This is the vindication we need as we push to get the state back under control of The People. People are fleeing the state (no surprise, really), due to the failures of NY policymakers to address actual problems within the state like high taxes and erosion of civil liberties.

With every fuck up that is made, we need to push on these opportunities to organize the good people of these state and fight for our rights.

California, New York among states likely to lose House seats in Census data; Florida and Texas set to gain

The U.S. Census Bureau on Monday will announce the results of the 2020 population count, which will determine the number of seats in the House of Representatives and potentially shift the power that some states have in the federal government.

While I don't disagree with your assessment a healthy percent of the people fleeing from blue states to red states will vote exactly the same way that the used to thereby turning the havens they sought into the blight that they left.

I'm sadly not convinced that most NYS policy makers will acknowledge that their policies are what is driving people and businesses out of state (It's the weather that's doing it after all <sarcasm>). I fear we're going to see them doubling down on their far left policies and tax schemes to make up for the loss of population and tax dollars.

The more they double down, the easier our case will be. It's a double edged sword, but only if we make it one.

Look no further than our neighbor to the East for an example of this happening.
Flatlanders changed the fabric of Vermont over the last four or five decades.

While I don’t disagree I would advise you Not to get your hopes up. If you look back at the history of the census in NY going all the way back to the 50’s you’ll notice that NY ALWAYS lost an average of Two congressional seats Every 10 years. This is actually the first time that NY has lost Only one seat.

its no big deal, Tom Reed has said he will not run for another term. Albany will simply not fill his seat. And its an upstate seat, so the assholes in the shithole don't give a rats ass.

and, as I have said many times, its not simply people leaving, its the more intelligent that are leaving. There is a "brain drain" happening. What Im saying is the upper middle class and upper class, the ones with money and brains to put it to use are leaving

This will hopefully be the downfall of NYC.
Im sorry to you guys that live there and cannot leave but without NYC this state may have a chance. I know the "upstate cannot survive without NYC taxes", but thats just not true. That may be true if nothing changed, but things would change.
We may attract more and " better" people and businesses......Among other positive changes. As states like PA and Virginia become more blue, freedom loving people there may decide NYS with its new lower taxes and booming business looks pretty good.
I can dream cant I??

Met a customer today who owns a townhouse rental just outside NYC. Their realtor advised them to bail.......NOW.

What was their reasoning? If there's any in NYS that will likely still have a demand for housing it's near NYC (at least in my opinion). Hell, I'm 100 miles away from the City and every house on the market is being bought up at a record pace.

In the Southern Tier we are seeing a lot of downstate and NJ folks buying up properties at asking price with very short times on market. Folks who can are getting out. My brother in law is a contractor and he’s booked until October. Lots of new homeowners.

Backdoor universal rent control is coming to all New York State shortly:

one more step towards complete statewide financial collapse. WTF is wrong with these assholes

They *want* it to collapse.

Then they will blame capitalism and declare that the only solution is a "government takeover" of affected industries.

Pretty soon they will have engineered the collapse of all industries and taken them over. You will have defacto communism, and they will *still* scapegoat capitalism for every failure.

Ah .....You forget the deep pockets of the democraptic "party". No failures as long as a democrap is in the WH. They will always find a reason for shortfalls. (shortfall is code for failure, dems never fail)

 

[Saltwater60]

Nothing will change. This will hardly be a blip on anyone’s radar. It will get a notable mention on the news but that’s it.

The politicians won’t wake up. It won’t turn anything red it will do the opposite. NYS will be blue until I die. Maybe a half Republican Governor here and there.

 

[Jmac00]

now their saying "they" will redraw the district lines and probably combine two republican districts thereby eliminate that one seat. "they" sure as shit won't redistrict NYC so they eliminate a democRATic seat

So I guess AOC will sticking around then.

Of course they will.

She is enough of a PITA to the dem establishment that they might use this to get rid of her.

They can easily eliminate her district without reducing the number of dem districts.

The best solution for them would be splitting her district in 2 and merging with 2 neighboring dem districts, then gerrymandering parts of them to turn some slightly republical districts into slightly dem districts.

That realtor must be listened to. I don't understand how anybody could own a rental now. The eviction moratorium has been catastrophe to a large number of landlords. There are still a very substantial number of people in this country who think a person with any wealth at all doesn't deserve it; if you're a landlord you're de facto rich so tough shit if you don't get your rent payments.

And then we can see if the Republican representatives have the balls to sue the State for Gerrymandering.

I beg to differ, the people leaving the Blue states are the Red blooded conservatives. Liberals can't stand Red neck America.

You won’t hear the liberals crying about this gerrymandering will you?

Seriously? I dont see this happening. I see her being the future of the party. Wake up. People that follow her are why they hold all three chambers in the government. Look at what her extremist followers are doing and making the party successful. They will reshape this country not the old guard democrats.
