Houston has a population of 2.1 million. New York City's population is 8.3 million. No chance Houston is going to surpass NYC in population.
True, although greater Houston is actually about 5.5 mil, and that was before the 2008 downturn. As the city of Houston grows both physically and financially, and absorbs more people relocating from other states, the population is going to continue to explode beyond that 2.1 figure, but I can't see passing NYC for a very long long time.
lol at all the houston homerism. 600 square miles with only 2.15 million. los angeles has 4 million in 469 square miles (probably not even including all the illegals). even better is chicago with with 2.7 million in 227 square miles. and best is nyc with over 8.25 million in 300 square miles. when you look at urban area, metro area, and CSA, houston is even more laughable, even with its growth rate. its growth rate percentage has to be twofold just to keep up with los angeles and fourfold to keep up with nyc.
There's not enough "Diversity" in Seattle and Portland for it to be a liberal utopia.
It has to be overflowing with minorities.
Why are you so obsessed with race?

It definetly felt like I was in a foreign country.
I looked at the census data for dallas shortly after I returned to see wtf was going on, and found out that most all of the whites have left dallas and the few that are still there all reside in small wealthy enclaves on the north side of dallas. Likely doctors and such living there only for the high paying job they have.
In any case, Dallas is not some place I would want to live after visiting there.

Needless to say, when I realized where I was, I locked my doors while driving.
Then why is the Space Program in Houston? Last time I checked, you have to be excellent in mathematics to work for the program. You have to be excellent in math to work in the high level jobs in the energy industry.
And oh yes, Texas Instruments, you know, the calculator company, comes out of Texas.
LOL, the space program is in Houston because of certain powerful political figures that made it happen.
It is weird that in a right wing "We Built It" paradise like Houston, that prominent points of pride like the Astrodome and NASA are funded by taxpayer dollars.

Houston Metro has only 6 million people right now compared to NYC alone having over 8 million.
So even if Houston annexed it's entire metro(impossible since it's several counties) it'd have to grow by 2 million more people in the next; which is more than the metro added during the last decade. So the Houston metro itself might come close to passing New York City but not the city of Houston alone--for a long while.
If the city of Houston were to pass NYC it'd have to be a much denser city--or annex surrounding towns or a combination of both.

I'm hardly a right-wing person. However, the idea that Texas is somehow "mathematically deficient" is rather stupid.
NASA and the AstroDome might have been funded by taxpayer dollars, but the last time I checked, weren't Texans also taxpayers? And consider this, it is still in Texas.
I see you have ignored the Texas Instruments comment I made.
