I don't always trust a lot of these economic reports because Utah had one that claimed we had an all time low of homelessness when that was completely contradictory to the truth. Fact was that our homeless people aren't checking into the shelter and the head count goes by what's in the shelter.

TL/DR numbers don't always tell the truth.

moving to N Texas could be a great economic decision, but then you'd have to live in N Texas
Or they get exploited to push an agenda.

It sounded like you think it’s cool if we put a few more Houstons in Texas. It’s not.

Could also be a state level statistic when the city-level numbers are a much different story.

Moving from a spread out populace to more condensed population centers=/=increasing the population

The latter's gonna happen whether you're spread out or stacked on top of each other.

You know, I kind of respect the way you just said you didn’t get that cartoon instead of just googling red shift. But your lack of understanding of environmental science is appalling. I’m sorry for making it personal but you’re in your mid twenties now. I’ve given you the stats on remaining large mammals. I’ve laid out the math explaining the difference between thousands and billions. You might as well join the Christian Right. No amount of evidence will steer you away from what you want to believe.

No, I read up on it. We're not as bad as other major cities but we definitely saw a growth when that article came out so I did some digging and found another article explaining why they came to that conclusion.
