There is definitely going to be alterations in the numbers, but nothing more than like 200,000-400,000 at the most for any of these places.
Houston's density is increasing at a really quick rate. The inner-loop is going like crazy from what I've heard and from pics I've seen. If Houston were to de-annex everything outside of the Loop, Houston's density would jump. Nothing I said is really new.

I think based on some DANNYY estimates the inner loop is about 6,000 ppsm today

If you want the city density to rise, land at the outskirts needs to be MUCH more expensive. Right now there aren't as many reasons to flee to the core as there should be to see marked higher density.

Or the price of gas needs to shoot up to more than $5 a gallon.

Good point. It's more expensive to live IN the city than it is the love in the burbs in a bigger house.
Whoa, easy there buddy it wasn't meant to contradict you in any way it was more of a general question to you and others to point out the very same thing almost everyone on this thread is complaining about, the meaning behind my quote was to basically say there's no way to make everyone happy with the density formula. I do see how you could have taken it the wrong way though.
well sorry to jump on your case, it just seem odd because it seemed you were disagreeing but only with the same argument.

There are about 3 or zip codes in the south west part of Houston that are at least 3 times as dense as the inner loop. I would de annex parts of the SE and NE. That would Leave Houston with about 1,900,000 people in half the current city limits.
Houston would still be the 4th largest city and the density would increase to about 6200 ppsm.

True. Houston being so physically large is a blessing and a curse.
