Only someone shallow could get angry from words on a computer. I'm not the one highlighting curse words aren't I? Lol. What is more true? Raw numbers or percentage? If a city of let's say 100k grows by 20k and a city of 8 million grows by 300k, which one truly grew more? This is just an example, so don’t try and twist it. :-)

What is "more true"? What the hell? Now I can see why you downplay educational attainment; you don't even know how basic statistics work!

Obvious troll is obvious (and not even good at it). He has been since he got here. I didn't think anyone even paid attention to his posts.

That's because they are usually illogical and incoherent. But I suppose it's my act of mercy to give him the time of day at times.

I know 1.3 million is more than 800k. There you go, getting angry throwing dirt as usual. It'll be ok. Lol!

Same difference. Both BMW and Boeing are huge economic engines for the areas and state they're located in. Both also continue to add jobs.

Charleston has more, and has many more of those sorts of retailers downtown.
How about that Saks Fifth Avenue....oh wait.

Charleston had a major low-cost airline before Southwest (Air Tran), and its airport is busier.
Ever heard of Allegiant or Independence Airlines? Airtran pulled out of CHS. GSP still has Allegiant, Southwest Airlines coming in March 2011, and a $98 million renovation/expansion starting construction in May 2011.

Charleston is growing faster.
Census says Greenville County grew by more people last year than any other county in the state.

Now all you have to learn is that the 800K metro adding 75K people is growing faster than a 1.3 million metro adding 80K people. You should probably start here.

I didn't start it, I just chimed in. Can't tell much about a person while behind a keyboard. I can understand your anger and frustration. Go ahead and throw more dirt. Its just a board. Now if we were talking in person I could understand getting angry.
