Huh? So if a town of 1000 loses 100% of its population, no biggie because NYC?

That wouldn't be unprecedented either.

But it's hard to say with a straight face that SF losing 50k people is unprecedented among major US cities when by the same measurement in the same time period NYC lost 300k.

Many small towns routinely lose more than 6.8% of their population within a year. It's not really news...

For that town it sure is. But for the state/country it resides in? Not really.
