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.
No, it does not say any of these things. It says Chicago had fewer than 2.7 million as of 2004; a smaller population than in 1920!
PACE knows what they are talking about. Population trends are key for ridership predictions. They know Chicago is emptying, and their report confirms it!
So I would predict around 2.55 million, give or take, for the 2010 Census.
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.
No, you are misreading.
2.7 million as of 2004, so it should be around 2.55 million right about now.
As for 2030, nobody knows. I would guess 1.75-2 million for Chicago, depending on the economy. Definitely smaller than San Antonio.

You are lying. I wonder why you lie so much........

I'm wondering how Pace enumerates Chicago's population. Do they hire workers to go door to door to count every resident in Chicago? That's the most accurate way to count and the method the census uses every ten years? It seems awfully labor and capital intensive, especially for an agency whose mission involves suburban bus service. Clearly, they must know what they're talking about, though. Still, I trust the US Census bureau to know what they're doing too, so if Pace says the pop of Chicago in 2005 was 2.7 million, and the US Census bureau says the pop of Chicago in 2006 was 2.83 million, I must surmise that Chicago is undergoing a huge population increase. What other city has gained 100k in the span of one year? Its simply remarkable.
So, that means Chicago GAINED 17,000 people from 2007 to 2008!
Keep on lying, liar
