LOL! 5.9 million is obviously OLD news! Now you know Houston is more than 6 million.

I don't think you understand. The last census estimate is the newest and latest information released for 2009. There are no 2010 numbers yet and never will be because we are going to get the actual numbers instead of estimates released in the next few months if not weeks. The last census estimate again has Houston at 5.9 million. Not 6 million or 6.1 million. There is no census estimate that has Houston over 6 million.

How does GDP make a city feel big??? When you cant see how much economic input a city has by visiting or driving thru it.

Oh I agree with the GDP thing; I'm just saying you can see Houston is a beast when driving around the city looking at those things I listed. All contribute a lot to the economy.
