Population shifts

[Beachcomber]

I found this article interesting. I knew this area was a lot more congested than when I lived here in 1990, but didn't realize by how much. Just under 40,000 more residents in only 4 yrs, helps explain why housing costs are soaring here. By comparison, Cincinnati is falling behind:

(1st figure is change from 1990-2000, second figure is change from 2000-2004, with a minus indicating a loss)

Cincinnati 2,586 -2,239

Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla. 17,645 36,395

It' seems to be happeneing everywhere. I like how they call the outer 'burbs, the "X-Burbs" as in Extreme Burbs becuase you know that the Burbs are to the extreme. There are very few things as extreme as suburbia, I like in suburbia and I think it's totally extreme dude [img]wink.gif[/img]


Good to let people know that this doesnt justy occur in Cincinnati, since many act like it's the only place this does occur.
