The announcement of the project. Up until then it was hearsay or facts about it were barely known.
That Tuesday was said to be the day HollyHills would have their press conference annoucing the project.
I believe they rescheduled and their official press conference was not that Tuesday, I believe them not having the purchase of the Red Berry Mansion done by that day kept it from happening.
When they bought it they had the thing the next day.
But wait how the would that equate to me saying: "Construction will soon to happen" or "Construction will happen."
I’m sorry dude, get the out of here.
Wow, do I sense a bit of...
Kid, this is via current population growth figures. Not me pulling numbers.
From 2002 to 2005, San Antonio has changed, with no let down in sight and 2005 being one of the best if not the best years in San Antonio's history in terms of growth population and economic wise with many experts saying 2006 will be an even better year.Absolutely. No harm in extrapolating one year's change over 8.
You represented that you were privy to inside info. You obviously were lying.

Again, you are extrapolating short-term growth over multiple years. Get a clue, kid.

But of course, San Antonio will continue to grow at this rate in perpetuity.
Peter, why don't you leave SA de Bexar? Do you think you changed anything by exxagerating the point? Obviously You don't realize the greatness SA is and what it could be, because You and people like You try their best to bring us down. Pessimist!
Your best arguements are always exaggerating what was said to make it a joke or saying that we aren't up to par wth other cities. Your one of the most closed minded people in here. What, do you think we'll always be small? Do you think 100 years from now we'll still be a backwater town that you want us to be?
It seems as if you would believe that. But realistically, we will be no New York tomorrow, we get the point, but we can be a better SA. You hate it. We get the point.
Privy to inside info?
Not personally, but yes, in a way, via another source. But it's not "inside."
Then not inside and not accurate, apparently.
So we should continue to delude ourselves?
Delude yourself. You think negatively about San Antonio. I see opportunity for the future.
Not really, San Antonio's growth has been very consistent for the past decade.
It hasn't been until the last couple of years that there's been a bump in that growth.
And guess why? Because of weather, housing market, job growth, etc.
All that has a very large impact on a cities population growth.
And with 50,000 homes planned for the far northwest side alone for to be built within the next 10 years, I doubt forecasters are off.
Look at Phoenix, a city in the 90's that had a nice consistent growth. But no in the 2000's they alone have added nearly 800k in 5 short years way above their 90's growth numbers.
Also, 4-5 years isn't a large enough gap where forecasters are off by much. 20-50 years now that's just insane.
But of course, San Antonio will continue to grow at this rate in perpetuity.

Delude ourselves, kid you don't even call San Antonio home.
Really, kid? Where do I live?
Actually, most forecasts are worthless past the next 6 months, if that.
The Marlins drew 1.85 million last season (Miami Herald). I want to hear how SA plans on meeting or exceeding this total when the minor league hockey affiliate outdraws the local minor league baseball team, and why Round Rock has a Triple-A team and the more populous metro area to the south is slumming around with a Double-A franchise. Is Nolan Ryan part of the vast anti-San Antonio conspiracy as well?
By the way, when is Austin's population projected to surpass San Antonio, anyway? 2015 or so?
Thanks in advance.
No, but Nolan Ryan did help to pay for one of the great minor league baseball stadiums in the country. Have you been to Wolff Stadium? Its a piece of . I'm a huge baseball/Missions fan and I hate going to that place.
this would be like my wet dream come true if this happens.
baseball in san antonio.
and my favorite team relocating to san antonio.
damn.
i'd be in heaven.
i will still believe it when i see it.
Re ed metho... oh nevermind.
Half past never.By the way, when is Austin's population projected to surpass San Antonio, anyway? 2015 or so?
No, seriously.
If you want me to tell you why, I will. Just ask.
Seriously? Give me a ing break. You are a gem!
OK, when? Re ed metho's from around the world wish to know.
When? I told you, never.
Projections that had that used late 90's growth while that city was in a major tech boom. Projects had it at about 2040.
Those projections would have been quasi-realistic had it maintain that "boom" era growth while San Antonio maintained its morderate growth rate.
Since the tech bust roles have reversed in population growth.
San Antonio is the fastest growing city in the state and the third fastest/largest growing MSA/CMSA in the state.
It's being said that in 2005 alone San Antonio added a net of nearly 100,000 people with larger ingrowth and evacuees.
Thank you. Really. Now while you're in an answering mood, explain to me how Major League Baseball will work in San Antonio when the minor league hockey team outdraws the mid-level minor league baseball team. Please provide some 81-game analysis at SA's 2010 projected growth rate.
I appreciate it.
Kinda like our support for our Minor Leaugue football teams, but showed up for the NFL.
There is no such answer for that question.
How idiotic is it use a minor league teams attendance to then judge whether a city can or can not support a pro sports team.
That's like that other method of asking "how did the city react when the professional sports team in Houston went to the world series?"
"Not great, oh well, lets go on to another city and see how they reacted."
There are so many factors that go into recipe that makes a city ablebodied to support a professional team and those two things aren't one of them.
Sorry.
It's a flawed and to again put bluntly, re ed method.
Y'know, I gotta disagree with you. SA has proven that they can support pro football to some degree. Baseball, however is another subject entirely.
I just don't see SA supporting a 70-112 ballclub for 81 games, which is about what you'll see without a salary cap in one of the smallest MLB markets in the country.
However, there is no such answer for this question for this either, until the Marlins either show up or use SA for an economic pros ute. Personally, I'd out for the Saints.
If SA ever wants an NFL team, they need to pass on the Marlins. I would see a baseball game any day of the year, but methinks my fellow San Antonians would rather see football and won't support the Marlins beyond a year of novelty and morbid curiosity. Just my two cents.
