As a New Yorker, I’m very satisfied New York lost a seat in Congress (and an electoral college vote). That’s one less Democrat to do damage in Congress. (As far as redistricting is concerned, New York Democrats would have gerrymandered whether they lost a seat or not.)
And it was a close call. If New York had counted another mere 87 people in the census (yes, 87), New York would have gotten another seat in the House. Baruch Hashem we didn’t get that seat.
