New York City: 8,467,513, a net loss of 305,465 (3.48%) in one year. I went through all the top cities on the list. If I am to believe the estimates, Houston and Dallas lost population, as did many other cities, while San Antonio and Fort Worth had gains of 10,000. Almost every other large American city appears to have lost population. I would not be surprised if the 2022 estimates show these people miraculously reappearing... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc_tex Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Articles are behind paywalls but it appears Forth Worth and San Antonio may have annexed land recently. Cities can increase population by adding land, while losing residents in the original city limits and still have net positive increases. Sun belt cities do this much more frequently than NE, West coast and MW cities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) I worked at Adcetera across the street for 4 years when the original Mix phase 2 was planned to go up and never did. I'm so happy to see this entire chunk of land up for development. This has the potential to be a real catalyst for the area considering the success of The Mix. I do think The Mix needs to update their parking garage because that thing is looking a little rough but the Louisiana side is pretty nice. I'm expecting something really grand for the area, similar to the expectations for the lot on Westheimer and Montrose.

dbigtex56 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Thanks for clearing that up, @mkultra25 Love the line "....a measure of design desperation over how to cope with windowlessness, an anxiety perhaps shared by the occupants" Having worked in a windowless building, I feel confident that the anxiety was shared. It was modified during the energy crisis circa 1980, and had insulation five feet thick. Everyone had a pounding headache by the end of the day: I heard later that it was declared a 'sick' building and all that insulation was emitting toxic vapors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
