So apparently the city is seeing more businesses popping up. There's a big backlog for Business Applications because so many are applying for business licenses. Staff has had to be doubled for reviewing the business licenses. Between January to March, 350 business licenses were given out

I have no earthly idea why we’d be getting so many businesses if the city and even county are losing population. Usually businesses don’t flock to areas that are losing population as the census indicates. I’ve thought for years there’s no way we’re losing population like it says we are. What you’ve said about the housing supply and the large amount of businesses coming in makes it seem like we’re gaining population

I willing to bet the census has cut the county short at least 10k people. Maybe even more because that 100k discrepancy has to have come from somewhere. Looking at the residential sales, home builds, and losing inventory, we shouldn't have been losing population or even stagnant the past 10 years

Honestly I think we have been cut short for the last 8 years.

I'm still amazed that it takes them a year and a half to publish the official numbers. They're well outdated by publication date. You'd think they were doing them by hand instead of having modern computers.

Frankly though, it's still way too long. In the age of computers I imagine it should be done relatively quickly

April 2020 (the census snapshot day) to Fall of 2021 is about 1.5 years.
