How Many People Are Actually Moving Here?
You’d think with all the noise about overcrowding, the city would be bursting at the seams like a stuffed sausage. But hold your horses! While the numbers are definitely on the rise, it's not quite a biblical plague of migrants. We're talking about a steady stream of people seeking a better life, escaping strife, or simply chasing that big city dream. Think of it as a real-life version of "The Great Gatsby", but without the flappers and bootleg liquor.

Where Are They Coming From?
The short answer is: everywhere. From the sun-kissed beaches of Latin America to the bustling cities of Asia, people are packing their bags and heading to the Big Apple. It's like a United Nations meeting, but with more pizza and less diplomacy.

It's a monumental task, akin to herding cats, but with higher stakes. And while there are challenges, New York has a long history of welcoming immigrants and turning them into thriving communities. So, there's hope.
