Wonder why they split up DFW (Dallas side losing 2% and FW side losing .8%). Houston didn't lose as much as I was thinking it would. Got bad here for a little bit.

It's no surprise to see Tyler up there because all I see here is growth, I mean MAJOR growth. I'm glad to see them up there.

They are one metro, with two separate divisions in the metro area. Kind of like Miami.
