I don't think anyone is saying there are no children in NYC. But the number of children is apparently declining. And it's easy to see why. It's not just UMC people flocking to the suburbs and bigger quarters/better schools but it's also poorer people being priced out too. [/quote]

Nobody is "flocking to" the suburbs. Especially not people who live in the suburbs because that's where there's housing they can afford.[/quote]

I'm not sure what you're saying? People move to the suburbs all the time, whether affluent suburbs or affordable suburbs, from NYC. All the time. It's the standard migration. Chasing after the cheaper housing, more space and better schools. Are you saying this is not true?

I see people moving to the burbs all the time, none of you is wrong. But there are simply just A LOT OF PEOPLE.  Even if some move, there are new ones to take their place and stay.  Lots of people move in and out of NYC all the time. In our good zoned elementary school the classes are always stuffed to the max, there are never empty spots even for a day. A kid moves away in the middle of the year, the very next day a new kid is taking the spot.  True story.  And there is simply not a mass exodus.  My kid is going to MS now, so for all elementary years the core 70% of families did stay in the local area.  Many of classmates are going to the MS with no indication of anyone moving. We do have neighbors in our building move to the burbs, so there is that too, but somehow it doesn't seem to make a dent.[/quote]
