@aaron_renn Iโve never been there but the Dallas Metroplex is booming without a thriving downtown. Uptown Dallas (w/in city limits) is also thriving. Big corps donโt seem to care either. Perhaps this is our future considering hybrid workforce and driverless cars.
My big prediction is that with the onset of driverless cars (I predict this will happen sooner rather than later), most of America will morph into a giant version of the Dallas Metroplex. I simply donโt see what will stop this.
Job growth unexpectedly surged in May as the U.S. labor market continued a solid year of expansion, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. https://t.co/Ts7CBr4oJh
The conservative - liberal fertility divide already shows up in high school!
A quarter of liberal 12th graders don't want kids versus just 3% of conservative 12th graders.
This is ~8% turnout. Municipal governments should really just be consolidated & handled by state appointees at this point. Local democracy is dead for everything other than maybe schools.

"The teams are the latest in a spate of companies, people and shops that have left central Dallas, creating an increasingly vacant hole in the middle of an otherwise thriving region that encompasses the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the US."
@aaron_renn The trend is also now to build new sports and entertainment districts anchored by a team (see Truist Park outside of Atlanta) in order to capture additional revenue.
@aaron_renn Watching a โwalk throughโ video of Carmel, Indiana filmed last year. Genuinely impressed. Itโs like a real city. Obviously new but doesnโt seem contrived or fake. Iโm surprised at how big it is! I can totally see why you live there.
Hey, remember when we were told that this war was winding down and that everyone would stop talking about by July?
