Battle of "number three" US cities: Chicago, SF, DC, Houston or Boston? (state, rates)

[lakal]

PACE bus system over the U.S. census?? Because I remember when i brought in census estimates in an earlier "discussion," Osito57 claimed that they could not be accurate because they were "sampling exercises" and not real data. lmao.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure Los Angeles is rated the most polluted in the nation...

Edit: According to this list, Chicago is #9 in short-term particle pollution. However, it's not in the Top ten for Ozone pollution or year-round particle pollution.

This list doesn't have Chicago in the top ten for any of their categories.

Finally, this Forbes List doesn't have Chicago in the Top Ten for the overall most polluted cities. Los Angeles comes in at #1.

Yea 3 million people right?

5. Chicago has some of the worst ghettos in the nation, because no other city has suffered such flight.

I was trying to be generous to Chicago.

The first link was so negative, and so irrefutable, that I wanted to show something a little more positive, to give Chicagoans hope for the future.

Why are you using articles that say the exact opposite of what you are trying to prove?

Based on the articles, I would say Chicago has no more than 2.55 million or so at this point.

YOU are lying. READ your articles. It explicitly says Chicago has 2.853 million people within the city.

Here is your link again: List of United States cities by population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It uses the 2008 Census Estimates.

Also, your other link says the Chicago metro area is home to the fourth fastest growing county in the country: US Census Press Releases (http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/population/013426.html - broken link)

Why do you insist on lying?

Yes, I read and re-posted your link. It says that Chicago has a population of 2.853 million as of 2008. I don't know why you keep lying?

Your same link also says Chicago will be at 3.1 million by 2010.

Interestingly, in the report you cite from pace, they predict population growth in Chicago to reach 3.1 million by 2030, but as I mentioned earlier, it looks like Chicago has already reached the 3 million mark. Again, thanks.
