If you look at the people who left, it's mostly black people moving out of majority-black areas into rural parts of the south because at least up until recently you could get a Toll Bros Presents: McLevittShack for $200k in those places on a sub-3% mortgage and 10% down. To a lesser extent it's first gen immigrant kids having babies of their own and moving out to areas of appalachia within 3 hours of the city because those areas also have dirt cheap SFH. YIMBYs consider that a success because that empties out buildings which can then be sold at market rate to people from kleptocratic countries who need a place to stash the stolen money in case the US Department of State decides it's time for a change of leadership

You need to honk for 2 hours every fucking day like I do; look around for parking for an hour; pay €4/hr for parking in the downtown, and pay €2.5/l ($15/gallon in freedom) for fuel, and not simply pass between the rows of cars/in the bus/fire lane/in the bike lane

The people moving out are people who can’t afford to live there.
The people moving in are millionaires who can afford it.
New York only built 12k housing units last year which is a pathetic trickle.

Also, housing supply isn’t local-only, it depends on the entire country. If the entire country’s in a shortage and housing costs are going up nationwide, that’ll affect New York. Simple as.
