SA/Austin and everything in between will be the future of America.

Mark my words.

I doubt that austin is #9 after that explosive growth it had during the early 00's

The "new" Southside looks awesome.

Yep.

A lot of things most people (northsiders) don't see that I do because I have lots of family on the south side, is things like the next gated communites going up on the southeast side near the Rigsby and 410 area or the 4 different highend apartment complexs going up just east of Goliad and Military Dr.

Also, a new 5 million dollar VIA HUb is going to be built near South Park Mall and hopefully jumpo start a light rail system.

Tech bust.

Those are the census numbers.

Also, it wasn't their city numbers that were booming, it was their metro numbers.

And actually, Metro SA has been growing faster for the past few years as well.

The boom came and went.

Thank god SA has a very diverse economy.

San Antonio and New Braunfels are only 6 miles apart if you look at far northeast SA developments and southside New Braunfels.

The gap is closing quick.

, Cibolo has nearly tripled its population since 2000.

Yea, it's amazing the difference from 20 years ago.

Per capita is a bogus number.

Why? Because a city can be the poorest place in america, not one single person could have a job, eeveryone could be homeless but if Bill Gates called it home the per capita would be higher than most other cities.

Um, no. Hard as it may be to believe, people have already thought of this.

That's why they usually use medians instead of means.

I was just going to say, I didn't think Per Capita took the average since there would always be outliers that would skew the results....

SA and Austin will always have ties, but they are never going to merge like DFW, any more than Chicago and Milwaukee will, or Sacramento and the Bay Area will, or Philadelphia and New York will.

Mark my words.

At least in terms of demographics, you're probably right.

[Kori's Big Sis]

The numbers all off by, my guess, about a couple hundred thousand, thats about how many illegals are there that didn't get counted!!

I know what you mean, kinda. Try making that drive once or twice a week for about two years recently. It got so I knew the trees and other quirky spots along I-35 from SA to SM.

I commuted to New Braunfels to work every day for 7 years .... I used to pass cows, for Pete's sake.

I imagine they will be gone within the next 10-15 years.
