Oh, Houston has moved up to #5 now, though. And Philly has fallen down. Philly was in between DFW and Houston/Woodlands back when we moved down here. The Texaplex cities are definitely growing faster than anyone else high on the list.

What's truly amazing there is just how enormous Detroit remains. Unlike most of the others, Detroit does not feel like a giant metroplex.

I had looked that up just recently so knew it had a million person lead on Houston. It was only 100K larger when we first moved here. DFW is growing so quickly that it's only like a decade short from being expected to overtake Chicagoland!

That piece was specifically crafted to make Chicago look bad. Illinois as a whole is losing people because it is the shittiest state in the Union.

More that Dallas and Houston just grow like crazy. In general, though, the rust belt cities move people to the sub belt cities.

Buffalo N.Y. is booming in home sales, and is number 1 for the nation.

I know. I live in Southern Illinois and as soon as we can (our youngest graduating high school in 5 years) we are moving. My plan is to stay in the job I have now. It is a good job. Have a few Linux certs by then, then moving to a different part of the country to be a Linux Systems Administrator.

Weird but true.
Saw it on the news this morning.
I believe you, just very weird.

I would've thought somewhere in Colorado would've been. Interesting.

Chicagoan 1: I like snow.
Chicagoan 2: Ok, that was random...
Chicagoan 1: No, I mean I really like snow. I love snow!
Chicagoan 2: Why not move to Buffalo, NY?
Chicagoan 1: I hope they have lots of new houses because my whole family is moving now. -

I know that Denver definitely was on that list for a while when I moved out there for a while.

All of the "old Texas" locations are doing great. Buffalo is a great city, but this is really weird.

21st century cattle drive

We saw that. They are doing a better job evacuating the cattle than the people!

Of course, the people knew better, you can't blame the cattle in the same way.
