Battle of "number three" US cities: Chicago, SF, DC, Houston or Boston? (raise, live)

Since the 1950's, Chicago has seen nothing but decline. There is no reason to think it is turning around now.

Yeah, especially in the 1990 - 2000 period, the period with which we can directly take recent growth trends from.


And that was most definitely sarcasm; you have no real empirical proof, and use methods that nobody else seems to have invented yet to come to your conclusions.

What does it say Chicago's population is per the 2008 census estimate? If you answered 2.853 million, you are correct.

What was the Chicago population estimate per the 2007 estimate? Top 50 Cities in the U.S. by Population and Rank — Infoplease.com - Why, it was 2.836 million!

So, that means Chicago GAINED 17,000 people from 2007 to 2008!

Keep on lying, liar

My link is PACE bus, not a Wikipedia page you just edited. I know Chicago needs all the help it can get, but geez, already!

You're going to have to be a better liar than that.

I would post CTA estimates, but they're likely much worse, and I didn't want to depress all the Chicago boosters here!

You, know, I do have a heart after all!

Yeah, now I am editing the US Census Estimates..........

Here, again, is the Census link with the data: http://www.census.gov/popest/cities/tables/SUB-EST2008-01.csv (broken link) .

How far a liar will go to keep his lie going.

Your nose is growing...

Let's go with City Data's own page on Chicago, where it says the 2008 population is 2,853,114. Now, this is a City Data Forum - are you going to argue that too??
