That seems irrelevant since electoral votes are by states and not by counties.
You mean, like the "blue cities within red states" argument is irrelevant? Thanks for undermining a popular GOP talking point.
You presented data relative to presidential voting. The only blue city in red state argument I’ve heard is about crime and since police forces are run by cities that’s highly relevant.
Oh, wait--maybe part of the answer is that it's safer (e.g. lower murder rate) than, say, Florida?
Net migration trends suggest people are leaving NY, but that doesn't mean the population goes down, just that it stagnates or grows at a lower rate than the national average.
Chicago for sure has lost population. As have most American cities.
You are asking me how my comment on the Biden speech is relevant, when you were commenting naively on the same speech in the same Biden thread as I responded in.
You are free to believe Biden's speech was some off-the-muff irrelevancy, a passing moment of no impact, but we think you are a fool for doing so.

Neither rural nor urban America is doing well.
Both are doing a lot more murdering.
WSJ:
Homicide rates in rural America rose 25% in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was the largest rural increase since the agency began tracking such data in 1999. The CDC considers counties rural if they are located outside metropolitan areas defined by the federal government. The rise came close to the 30% spike in homicide rates in metropolitan areas in 2020.
Really hard to understand why there are still eight-plus million in NYC. You'd think the place would have cleared out years ago.

No idea what number your talking about? Murder per capita? I’d think that the population density would make NYC seem less safe even if the rate is lower.

meanwhile rents are rising quickly in big US cities incl Chicago. Doesn't sound like an exodus to me. Although inflation has helped boost rents.
"The South and Northeast have seen the largest rent increases. Miami, where rents were up 26.2% from a year ago, saw the biggest increase among the 50 largest US cities for the 10th-straight month. Miami was followed by New York, Boston, Chicago, and Orlando."
Same is true of New York outside of the 7 boroughs and Long Island.
Please tell me more about the seven boroughs. All these years I've spent living in NYC, and apparently I haven't learned all the boroughs yet! Sad.
Do me a favor. Tell all your neighbors to stop moving here to Florida. You wouldn’t believe how many NY license plates I see. And in recent years it’s become an all year thing.

NYC is one of the safest places to live in a per capita sense. Plus you don't normally drive so car crashes aren't killing so many NYCers. Plus you have to walk, which gets you in better shape, further lowering mortality.
Although more than most places this is all racialized....crime and death rates for black and hispanic NYCers is pretty bad.
Chicago for sure has lost population. As have most American cities.

Chicago, the city, used to be over 3M. Its now less than 3M. The metropolitan area may not have though the state of Illinois has lost population Same trend in most American cities

Trending badly by the way. But my point was you’re far more likely to feel less safe since it’s a small geographical area. The occurrences of crime are close by while they’re more remote in most parts of a place as large as Florida.
NYC during the pandemic was ground zero for covid deaths. Geography was a large part of that.

Miami actually has a Republican mayor who’s supposedly considering a presidential run. Kind of crazy but less so than de Blasio or Adams considering one.
We were growing economically and reducing carbon emissions under Trump and with use of natural gas. Aren’t some of these the European countries that won’t be able to heat themselves this winter? Is this a bounce back in gdp post pandemic or is it actual growth as compared to before? How does this compare to the growth in countries where they aren’t going green? What’s the trend in global warming? Not even close to checkmate.
Closer look. That doesn’t include the pandemic at all and the United States is on the list. Wow.
just wacky and disappointing how lock-step 'conservatives' are against clean energy. It's like they look into the future and see raw terror. Why is that? Why don't they think technology and markets will make clean energy work?
I think conservatives are just generally fearful people. Fearful of immigrants, green energy, democracy, etc. If they thought it through they'd be massive green fans.
Sorry for the multiple posts. That’s now nearly 3 year old data and is from when Trump was President. It covers 15 years with two data points so trends over that long period get buried. And the emissions due to exports get subtracted out from a country’s data so even China could look good. Though I’m not sure how you would determine what emissions are related to production of exports. Since it lacks detail on trends I wouldn’t doubt that it lacks detail on the emissions due to exports.
I’d be concerned if someone presented something that lacking in detail.

That chart isn’t going to convince anyone who looks at it twice.
Joe Biden traveled to Independence Hall in Philadelphia to deliver a speech excoriating Trump supporters as violent threats to the rule of law, democracy and...

And I do realize he adds imports from emissions back in. And being that we’re a big net importer and still reduced carbon emissions WITHOUT the Biden green new deal…no checkmate.
