But seriously, yeah, I can see how that would be kinda awesome-r.  Texas needs less dilution (of minds, talent, etc.) and more concentration!! |
I'd like Texas to be like NYS, IL, GA, or MA. |

Ain't gonna happen. Too much land! The state is simply too large for there to be just one major city. I bet there are gonna be other large cities rising up in Texas, too, it's just a matter of time.
FarNorthDallas, I think you're right. They're growing like crazy over there.

I predict Midland-Odessa and the Valley to rise and become major Texas players. Lubbock is another one as well. |

I don't. I like it as is. I like that we have different cities to choose from. Just like Californians and Floridians do. |

I wouldn't mind! I want that place to grow. I wish Lubbock was the size of El Paso.

It appears as if that sentiment is common in states where there's one large metropolitan city, look at the relationships between places like, Atlanta vs Georgia and Philadelphia vs Pennsylvania. (Not that I'm trying to knock other large cities in either state....) |
