Comparing Orlando...

By raw numbers, the only MSA below us that added more people then us is Austin, and I know we all agree Austin is killing it right now. By raw numbers, Orlando MSA is still top 10 in the nation for growth, since you don't like the percentages.

And I’ve spoken to people that moved here for any variety of reasons and love it. Point is, I think the much larger fallacy than percentages (which is a pretty objective metric to use) is anecdotal stories that are “more common that you probably think.” There’s no real credible discernible way to measure the accuracy of that statement.

But facts are facts: Orlando is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the nation. Its MSA is relatively comparable to Tampa’s or Charlotte’s or Vegas’s or Nashville’s or Austin’s. I imagine you wouldn’t use the same percentage fallacy argument to describe those cities’ growth because they are some of the biggest boomtowns in America, so why use it for Orlando?

Thank you both.

You missed my blistering, offensive, highly-inappropriate comments about population growth rates.  They were truly awful.  Be glad you blocked me.

It's certainly been coming in handy,  but it's just unfortunate that it has become necessary here at this forum. Never used to be.

Let's hope they don't grow up to be arrogant, humorless, judgemental, self-important d-bags like someone else we know. 

I'm just going to post this anytime JFW tries to take the high-road.

He apparently needs a reminder of how he speaks about other people, while criticizing me. 

Preach on, JFW!

Preach on about tact, JFW.

(You're really making this too easy.  And someone said that I have no self-awareness!!!)
