mostly agree - and still the vast majority of the MSA increase is in the burbs even for DC. The census estimated nearly 11K adds in Philly, no one would suggest that city is growing by leaps and bounds. DC as a metro area is still growing at a pretty good clip though
The Insolvent Parasitic Sponge could have close to 100 cranes in the sky by next summer.
Fixed.
p.s. Im getting a little tired of having to pay for your ivory tower. So just cram it pal.
Government spending stopped quite a while ago and has decreased by quite a bit in for a while now. Nope, this growth is not being driven by the government. It's being driven by tech start ups and healthcare. It's about time you give it up now. People are moving into DC because it's nice and you won't get shot walking the dog for the first time in 50 years. Nothing is going to stop that. People want urban cities and they could choose to live in Maryland and Virginia, but they are choosing to move into the city instead.
The Yankees play in The Bronx... I don't understand what your comment means.
Looks like Pennsylvania's outgrowing Illinois, we could take the 5 spot back before the next census.
How do you figure? Illinois grew by 93,000, PA by 98.000. at that rate it would take almost 20 censuses to catch up. Guess math wasn't your strong point in school.

think they will stay pretty close for quite some time, dont see either moving too fast in either direction
I did see where PA is on the rise (after bottoming out, maybe IL as well) of the age curve and immigration but not anywhere close to how it grew in the late 1800 and early 1900s. Birth rates are down significantly in both states from their peak growth periods which were mostly similar in timing, PA being a little earlier.
Chicago and Philly are growing slowly and Pittsburgh may start growing again dont see any of the bigger cities as fast growers in the near future

So true. Most people don't have a clue how much DC is building up and it has little to do with government spending and a lot more to do with it becoming a great urban place where people want to be.
Well, the estimates that show dc with 632,000 people are from 2012. the boston estimates of 625 is from 2011. so boston is probably a tiny bit larger. but then again the census estimates are very unreliable.
Pretty neat. DC is on the up and up. DC is physically larger than Boston though, so maybe throw in Cambridge or something for Boston?
with cambridge the population of boston would be ABOUT 735,000. and that would still have less land than dc.
