How about moving on from it?
I've been done with that.

Consider the level that LA was on as recently as the early 20th century. Cities can (and do) come a long way in a short amount of time - LA being a prime example.

Just a few decades ago you would have gotten a similar response if you mentioned LA and NYC in the same breath. In 2010 it's a very different story...Houston could be on that same track - who knows?

No you haven't...you keep posting little nasty responses to it. If you're done with it, then be done and stop.

L.A. was bigger in 1960 than Houston is today. It would take decades for Houston to approach L.A. in population - which I think is too far in the future to be predicting things like "Houston is on track to be on the same level as L.A. and NYC"

Well, I at least can appreciate the 'GO BIG OR GO HOME' mentality.

Chicago was the same way. Philadelphia and Boston use to laugh at that thought. Then Chicago passed them. I always thought that, economically, Houston is a young version of Chicago and demographically, it's a young version of LA. Should be interesting to see where the city goes from 2010 on.
