Back in 2023, the New York Times did a story on how Black residents of NYC were gone and immigrants had moved in via a process of non-replacement (see Great Replacement Theory for Black Americans (from the NYT)).
Here’s the latest evidence that Replacement Theory is false (“debunked” according to Wokipedia), but this time expanded to people of all races… “After Pandemic Exodus, New York City’s Population Is Growing Again” (NYT, March 13, 2025):
Fewer people leaving the city and more foreign newcomers have helped erase pandemic losses, new census data shows.
In the depths of the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers packed up and fled, raising the possibility that the ravaged city had entered a long-term slide.
New York’s population has yet to fully recover, but new census data released on Thursday reveals that it is finally growing again after a steep drop. It reached 8.48 million in July 2024, up from 8.39 million in July 2023.
The city grew by about 1 percent, gaining 87,184 residents between 2023 and 2024 — largely because of a steady increase in newcomers from other countries — while at the same time fewer residents left for elsewhere, according to the census data.
Native-born Americans on net are continuing to leave New York City. Via a non-replacement process (since Replacement Theory has been proven false), their places have been taken by migrants.
Separately, trust the government’s numbers, unless you prefer some other numbers:
City officials had challenged [official U.S. Census Bureau] figures, saying the number of migrants and other people living in group settings like shelters had been underestimated. More than 200,000 migrants have passed though the city’s shelters since the spring of 2022.
From the NYT, August 2023:

The American homeless are so unhinged that one proclaimed that Melinda Katz is a Lesbian Whore Who Abuses Children in a bellowing voice that was heard for blocks, right outside the Qns Cty Crt Haus and when he came back the next day for his court date the guards who he called part of a corrupt system made sure his pocket knife was returned.
I wonder if required reporters heard the accusations.
The Mytilean judge and assistant sapphic assistant to KATZ had a frosty attitude.
Maybe it was hanging at the TERF bar that did the poor bugger in. Nursing studetns, stewardesses, what’s the difference?
The hustlers marveled as he danced for the dead later that evening.
Epigram: Political Reflexion
loquitur the sparrow in the zoo
No bars are set too close, no mesh too fine
To keep me from the eagle and the lion.
Whom keeprs feed that I may freely dine.
This goes to show that if you have the wit
To be small, common, cute, and live on shit,
Though the cage fret kings, you may make free with it.
