They love to complain about blue counties and they also love to get jobs in blue counties

Well the purpose of my initial post was about questioning the census estimate numbers. I'm not claiming that droves of New Yorkers or Californians are setting up shop in Laredo. I just think that the formal numbers have yet to reflect what I and many other folks down here believe is going on. Oh well, I guess time will tell.

The big four cities are continuing to outpace the the rest of Texas. Dallas and Houston are experiencing very impressive growth.

I moved from the SF Bay Area to the Houston metro in the late 2000s (and I've spent time in three of the other four areas....only missing RGV), and it doesn't feel to me like growth in the Houston metro has ever stopped or ever even slowed down very much
