Do Population Changes Help Red America or Blue America?

Growing populations are giving two additional seats in Congress to Texas and one to Florida. New York and California are each losing a seat, not because their head counts are falling but because they re not rising as fast. Do these population changes also alter the states politics? In many cases, yes, and that generally does not bode well for Republicans. Texas, for example, voted for Donald Trump in 2020, but many of its urban areas did not and those are the parts of Texas booming with transplants from outside the state. The capital, Austin, one of America s hottest cities attracting newcomers, is a liberal supernova in what was a securely red Texas. Austin is the No. 1 destination for tech workers leaving San Francisco. Another is Georgia, a former Republican stronghold that just shocked the world by favoring Joe Biden for president and sending two Democrats to the U.S. Senate.

Separate the library from homelessness problem

Dear Editor: In many American cities, public libraries — once quiet, safe places for ordinary citizens to read and study — have been converted into de facto homeless shelters. When libraries allow, or even encourage, hygiene-challenged bums, vagrants, drug addicts and mentally ill derelicts to “use” their facilities, they “bathe” in the restrooms, watch porn on the computers and sleep while pretending to read, surrounded by their plastic bags of detritus. For ordinary citizens, the library becomes unusable. The Blount County Public Library appears to be headed down this same road, proposing to “partner” with a newly created nonprofit organization for the homeless that will be based in the library.
