I remember our navigational adventure in Boston. The blind leading the blind.
Chicago is remarkably navigable, isn't it?

It's funny, I drove through Toronto, population 3 million, a number of times without a problem, but Boston (650K) and Providence (190K) are a bloody nightmare. New England is like Ye Olde Englande in that regard.

78K is less than 1% of NYC, and for Cook County it's about 0.5%. Is that significant? What's typical for a year, I wonder.
The numbers kind of look like the pandemic migration away from the cities is slowing down.
Personally, I would never want to live in a big city. They're dreadful places.

1% is a lot. Just ask the Gazans. about 1% of them have been killed and that's a genocide.

I think an interesting stat would be the average net worth of those who left...

What are the fastest growing counties?
The pendulum will swing to them, and then at some point in the future, swing back I think.

Among counties with a population of 20,000 or more, the 10 fastest-growing were in the South—six in Texas (Kaufman, 7.6%; Rockwall, 6.5%; Liberty, 5.7%; Chambers, 5.0%; Comal, 5.0%; Ellis, 4.9%); two in Georgia (Jackson, 5.5%; Dawson, 5.1%); and one each in South Carolina (Jasper, 4.9%) and Virginia (New Kent, 4.7%).

More space for the immigrants bussed from the South, right?
Absolutely!
Abbott needs to hire some freight trains. Put a Portapotty, a few cases of water and some MRE's in the freight cars and send them straight to the Left Coast.
