actually, the title of the article should have been:

"Population drop improves by 50% over last decade: Exodus slowing, census figures say"

This is because during the decade of 1990-2000, Buffalo lost 40,000 people, whereas Erie County lose 30,000.

THIS current decade, though, that pattern has ACTUALLY SLOWED.

We are now on pace to lose roughly 19,000 people for the entire 2000-2010 decade, a HUGe improvement over 40,000 the previous one.

Erie County ALSO looks to lose around 50% less, with a projected loss of around 15,000 instead of 30,000

I would say these trends have been stablizing for the last 10-15 years, although 2005 was worse than 2004 by a lsight margin, it STILL beat the heck out of ANY year in the 1990's, as did ALL of the 2000's for that matter, which means our situation is IMPROVING, NOT declining....

Still, we are talking about LOSSES however you slice it. That is still bad.

But we are talking about losses which are FAR LESS than they were 10 years ago.

Good points. Amazing, though, what we've come to regard as good news!!!

Maybe we can call it "not AS bad news"
