Probably Houston, Possibly Dallas

[Jeebus]

Krispy Kreme donuts - to me at least - are a better fit in Dallas than in Houston. And here's why: upon closer inspection, it becomes obvious that all glazed Krispy Kreme donuts are identical to the point of perfection in conformity. They are a well-planned donut, which meet all of the requirements of compliance, and, you can always count on any donut to taste and look the same as its adjacent donut. I, for one, prefer the deep history and radical flavors that ooze from the Shipley. But that

[kjb434]

Yeah,

Who ever though donuts from different vendors could be used as a societal metaphor.

Why am I comparing? It's a total waste of time. The only person's business that I need to mind is mine.

Ok, so I believe the question was regarding the city. So again, has the city of Dallas lost population?

You mention it has slowed. Are you saying that the city of Dallas has grown, but is slowing down in its growth? Because that is the way I read the information provided.

Thanks.

I think this is a bit OT. To answer your first question though, and the question that has been answered before. No, the city of Dallas has lost population. To answer your second question, last years growth was right inline with the years before it.

[RedScare]

Not sure how this table will show up, but Dallas added 5,000 people in 2004, which is an increase over the 1,100 and 1,200 a year in their recession years. They've added 20,000 since 2000.

I was just messing around. Many times, I really dont believe half the things I say. But that wasn't one of them.

Please, the complements are overwhelming.

Yes 2112. The city of Dallas has grown in population, and NO the city of Dallas has NOT lost population. Read through what I wrote. City of Dallas proper has grown, but it has slown in growth because we are really only able to go up from being land locked by the suburbs. With the exception of the land in "south" Dallas...blah blah blah (rolling my eyes).

I stand corrected.

No, the city of Dallas has lost population.

So looking at the numbers red posted, I assume this is just a typo.

This thread has been a HOOT! But I can't believe so many people have spent so much time and so many words on the Caddy guy who is only 25 and sounds like he's never been away from the farm. Houston is no place for such a tender young thing who (from previous threads) might come into contact with anyone who feels or believes other than his Dad taught him to believe. Houston is a busy, vibrant, bustling city, not for the faint of heart. And the gays in the 'trose, why they might just EAT HIM UP!!! .....Hm-m-m-m, I'm beginning to wonder if Caddy is for real..........or is someone playing cat and mouse here, stirring up the waters.

Let's assume caddy is for real. I've read his other comments about his desire not to have contact with gays and have read the responses for many in this forum. I think he got the message and apparently has decieded to relocate here in Houston. I-as a gay man-welcome him and hope he comes to enjoy my hometown. Trust me: I know far worse homophobes and have indured attacks more emotional and physical than caddy could ever muster. I say give the guy a chance.

Ok, maybe he is for real. I had read the other postings, the emotional response was so strong, I had to wonder. And then he said that some of the things he read were putting him off so he was considering Dallas, but no, Houston...........something didn't seem right. So, Caddy Man, I hope you find your niche and enjoy the city. But brace yourself. You won't be in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Tender young thing? HaHaHaHaHa ! I have been away from Iowa, I lived in Phoenix for 3 years, and have traveled to different areas of the US. I haven't a problem with different people I will come in contact with, it's what makes the world different.

Why would you doubt if I was "for real", do you think I'm a r-o-b-o-t or something?

I thought maybe someone was "pulling our chain" -- making this whole moving to Houston thing up. It's always possible that a poster could start controversy just for the heck of it. So, enjoy Houston. Lots to do and see. Best of luck.

..I lived in Phoenix for 3 years..

Phoenix doesn't count as a real city.

I will note that Tempe & Scottsdale are filled with beautiful women however.

[JasonDFW]

Yes, that was a typo. The first part of the answer, the "no" is right, but there is a missing "not" before "lost." The number I have for 2004 was +8k.

Phoenix is a metroplex like Houston. Scottsdale is where I lived for three years, it was a great place to live, but it became un-affordable for a normal person like myself. Maybe I need to take up a collection on this site to pay for a nice home in Scottsdale insted of Houston, who wants to pledge $500,000 !

Maybe sometime I'll move back there, but I think Houston will give me a great outlook on diversity.

In the 5 years before the 2004 update Fort Worth passed:

Charlotte, El Paso, Milwaukee, Seattle, Boston, Denver, Louisville, Washington, Nashville, and Portland.

It will pass Baltimore any time now. I assume it will pass Austin, Memphis, and San Francisco in the not too distant future, although Vegas is growing about as fast so you cant count it out.
