No, last moves were to MN in '96 and back here to Colorado in '97. Too freakin cold in MN.


I see Colorado is #3 on the list. Damn hippies all movin in here.

I'm Nah. It's just Californians.

Even with the shuffling of the populaces only one state as seen a net loss.

A little bit misleading to normalize the data as a percent of total population. Given the small size of North Dakota and Puerto Rico, more than likely it is just flat overall.

Its Texas thats kind of going nuts.

I don't believe the statistics for California either. Seeing too much building going on.

A 4.16% growth rate for a State with a population over 37 million is actually quite high. Sure, a lot of people have left CA to escape the high taxes and high cost of living but the overall net population growth is still significant.

Maybe they counted when the out of state firemen were there? I wonder how many come in every year?

Seems like all of them are coming to Southern CA too. Can't say anymore without this ending up PWEC material.

We don't use it as a military base, however, they do have an Air National Guard base there that's mostly manned by Puerto Ricans...who are American citizens even though they're not a state. They used to fly F-16s out of there but now fly C-130s. Puerto Rico likes being a territory and all of the benefits from the US that they get but just doesn't want to be a state.

St Croix USVI also has a small ANG base...mainly comm I think...no flying mission. St Thomas USVI used to have a submarine base but it's gone now...however, I did still see military vehicles on the road when I was there last.

Moving is such a pain.

The house we currently live in since 2005, we built it back then brand new with children in mind.

We planned on having 2 children and we'd even made sure it has an extra room making it 4 bedrooms instead of 3.

Well, things in life never go according to plans:

we ended up having 5 children and this home is starting to get too small.

We have 3 girls, two ages 8 and one age almost 5 and they are sharing one room.

Our 2 boys age 7 and 5 are sharing another room. Then we have a guest room for the grandparents on both sides when they stop by.

We need a bigger home because soon our older girls and our older son will want their own room.

Thread title made me remember this scene from Young Guns 2.

That's the fourth one today!!
