I've read that 30,000 people were displaced. Most of those people are in Houston area shelters or are living with other people. Yea. I don't think many people actually permanently moved.

Well Of course not everyone that's going to move have moved yet because alot of people can't move yet! Again as I stated earlier alot of people are going through insurance issues , finance issues and trying to figure out what they are going to do. Many have never been through this before and many are playing the waiting game there are thousands more outside of Houston mainly in the DFW area with more that arrived up here from Shreveport. Dude just accept the fact that people are going to leave short term and it's nothing you can do about it. Trust me Houston is still a great city and will recover just fine.

Lol. Calm down. I'm all about numbers, not speculations. You have to be mindful of the many people who want to see Houston fail.

Here you go:
How is New York City growing if it’s constantly losing people? | StatChat

It's been well-known that domestic migration is down (Americans avoiding the East Coast) and immigration is up to N.Y.C. It's America's main city for most foreigners (even though the U.S. doesn't have a Primate city like Mexico, the U.K., France, Japan, or The Philippines) and benefits from its name recognition and lack of knowledge of alternatives.

But Houston will grow despite the hurricane. I'm only concerned about the slight slowdown on the rate of growth right now. If that snowballs due to a perception problem, we really do have a problem!

Nothing. Houston will continue to build with no zoning.

Okay, but the article doesn't say anything about Hurricane Sandy and also shows domestic migration as down in non East Coast cities like Miami and Chicago. It also attributes some of the population growth to natural increase so it's not just all immigrants.

I know Miami technically faces the Atlantic, but it is not generally considered part of the East Coast the way people use that term on CD. It is more Southern or the Sunbelt than Eastern in culture and climate, among other things.
