Meanwhile those new building numbers are NOT 8x.
- nostrademons 6y agoIt's comparing DFW metro area vs. Houston/Sugarlands metro area vs. SF/Oakland/Berkeley metro area. As of 1990 (the point where the graphs diverged), DFW had 3.8M people, Greater Houston had 3.3M, and SF/Oakland had 3.7M. They were pretty comparable then; subsequent growth has been simply because the Texas metro areas have added more housing.
