No I think he meant landlocked as in the ability to use barren land to urbanize/expand.
Which he's right about, San Antonio has an abundance of land that can be utilized for development, where as Dallas does not. And I don't think Dallas will be going through any vertical expansions like Miami to compromise larger population growth within the city.
But once again Caphillsea, nice post!
Have you looked at uptown Dallas lately? I am quite frankly jealous of Dallas building vertically now. Dallas isn't exactly building a light rail and street car system for its good health. I hope you wouldn't think Dallas will just sit back like a lame duck.
If you believe some local Miami authorities, how about this for a prediction? Miami tops 500,000 in its city limits of only 35 square miles of land. This makes Miami one of the most densely populated cities in America after the 2010 Census. If not in 2010, Miami will certainly cross this threshold when all of its urban tower housing has been absorbed by either owners or renters. As of now, I understand that it's about 70% absorbed.
The California Department of Finance just came out with their latest population estimates for Jan 1, 2010. My city, Fresno, has passed the 500,000 mark.
Oxnard also passed the 200,000 mark. There are now 21 cities in the State of California with at least 200,000 people.
The eleven county Bay Area CSA now has a population of 7,790,447.
NYC and Philadelphia combined into one CSA - population over 30 million
