But, don't want a population decline so that housing prices might come down a bit?

Curious, OP.

"why so many people are moving away. " -- if people move away because there are so many "migrants", then why is TX the fastest growing state in the country? Why do so many real Americans move to TX even as they are being flooded with "migrants", and there is purportedly open borders there?

There's some dichotomy there.

I would think you’d need to provide evidence for this. Or is your belief that DC refused to accept this responsibility and was able to move the migrants on to MD through contracts with MD NGOs and service providers?

Hah, I asked you for evidence and you turned around and asked me for evidence. Here's mine:

"A vast majority of migrants move on to final destinations outside of Washington, DC."

Wow that’s a relief! DC was able to get rid of them!

Sure. But you would need an alternative explanation for why international migration was at the one of the highest levels in the last decade.

The latest data in that study is for 2020. That was before the busing. So, you just provided your own alternative explanation.

Is your point that international migration was high in 2021? I’m not sure what your point is, but you seem triggered.

Agree 100%. Bring them all here, as many as possible. We need them.

Mayor Bowser should be thanking Governor Abbott. The numbers are in and they are not pretty.

- Census Bureau says that through July 2022 DC population increased by approx. 3,000
https://www.popville.com/2022/12/u-s-census-bureau-numbers-show-dcs-population-stabilizing/

- DC lost 3,600 people to domestic migration and international migration was approx. 4,500
https://www.empirecenter.org/publications/new-yorks-post-pandemic-population-hangover-continued-into-2022/

- TX sent approx. 5,100 migrants to DC on buses through July 2022
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/07/29/politics/muriel-bowser-migrants/index.html

These migrant buses account for 100% of the DC population increase and without this “emergency” DC would have to confront a separate crisis, which is why so many people are moving away.
