Houston, Dallas to Lap Metro Chicago over the next 20 years.

As an indication of just how the mighty have fallen, the once Second City Chicago will be no better than the 5th city by 2030 according to demographers.  Texas as already become the number one location for large corporate headquarters in the world and now Houston is in the process of supplanting a large share of Los Angeles' Port/Industrial business.  Despite having huge levels of poor hispanic and asian immigration, it is also one of the richest states per capita in the nation and gaining.

In 1970 Illinois and Texas both had 11 million people.  Today Illinois is at 12 and holding and Texas 26.

And what policy mix are our Federales implementing?  Illinois.

Go figure.
