Just joking...however Houston is over populated making the traffic unbearable and driving up the COL over the past 5 years.

How absurd are you? A town with a population of 6k vs houston? Lulz. People and businesses wanting to move here is a good thing

Calm down guys...I lived in Houston for over 40 years and still have family and friends there.

You can't tell me that Houston's COL and traffic hasn't increased over the past 5 years.

IMO Houston is being ruined by too many people moving into the area. I can't imagine what Houston will be like in 25 years.

Actually controlled growth is a better way to go.

Houston has always been in a good economic position in spite of the oil busts.

It has such a diverse economy which is why.

My last visit to Houston in March was eye opening with respect to the increase in the COL and the unbearable traffic increase.

I will pass on your economic observstions and knowledge or lack there off. The growth isn't such that it's plus 10-20% a year so there is no reason to restrain it

Lack there of?

Between 2000 and 2010, Texas experienced the highest numeric increase, up by 4.3 million people.

Over population eventually leads to demise.

How about a crash course Population Growth

Because I clearly stated an annual growth rate of which we weren't even close to and then you linked the census data that supported what I said not what you said
