I think he was talking about the population of the respective metros.
Yet if you look at the current growth of the two meteos, it's not close. Clearly, more people these days desire to live in Houston's unbearable summers.

My guess is that it has more to do with jobs and COL than weather desirability for the lion's share of people who are moving. I mean there were years in which Chicago was one of the fastest growing cities in the entire world; it was probably not because of the weather desirability.

Bingo!
Chicago's winters can be brutal at times, but the summers more than make up for it. I dont think there are too many people who long to live in Houston's climate. Look at South Dakota's growth in recent years. I believe it leads the nation, actually, and its climate is notoriously bad. People go where jobs are.

Yeah but Houston's winters are like Chicago Summers. Pleasant. But I get both you and his point. It comes down to can I live comfortably somewhere and have everything I need. If so, time to go.
