Suburb - Helensvale: 14,767

City - Gold Coast: 558,888

State - Queensland: 4,406,800

Country - Australia: 22,119,498 (2010 estimate)


To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.

-Steen Eiler Rasmussen, 1898-1990 (SimCity 2000 User Manual).

Well, even though I am theoretically in Bayfield, Ontario according to the Post Office, politically I am in Central Huron which is a vast area of Huron County centred on Clinton, Ontario (as the municipal seat of government). The last stats I saw put the population at about 8,000 but the area is huge with many farms, so persons per square mile is quite low. There are probably more cows, pigs, goats, sheep, and alpacas than people.

Minneapolis in 2000: 382,618

Minneapolis in 2010: 382,578

Huh. :P

I live in a suburb, population 61,567 as of the 2010 census, up from 50,365 in 2000 and 38,736 in 1990. Seems like pretty rapid growth to me, but Woodbury has outpaced us as well (they're a couple hundred ahead of us now) as well as Lakeville within the past ten years. Lakeville has increased nearly tenfold since 1970. I'm right on the edge of suburbia and I hope it stays that way.

According to the 2010 United States Census:

San Antonio: 1,327,407, the 7th most populous city in the U.S.

Bexar County: 1,714,773, the 19th most populous county in the U.S.

San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX MSA: 2,142,508, the 25th most populous metro area in the U.S.

Texas: 24,145,561. the 2nd most populous state in the U.S.

You can see the lopsidedness between the city size and the metro size, as San Antonio annexes aggressively and pushes its state-granted extraterritorial jurisdiction rights. To really conflate numbers, there is work underway between neighbors San Antonio and Austin to combine San Antonio's 8 metro counties and Austin's 5 metro counties into a consolidated statistical area by 2013. The two cities are some 70 miles apart along Interstate 35, but that corridor between and including them ranks among the top growth corridors in the U.S. and is forming an increasingly urbanized spine through central Texas with tight interchanging connections, to which anyone driving on that stretch of I-35 can attest. A consolidated San Antonio-Austin area under 2010 census numbers would have a population of 3,858,797, making it the 13th most populous such market in the U.S. That is still a few years out...

For fun with maps, be sure to check out Data Pointed: Growth Rings: Maps of U.S. Population Change, 2000-2010

You can see in this map of population changes that in Texas, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth remain far larger national behemoths, however, a dual-framework is definitely and strikingly forming very rapidly at the last point of the Texas Triangle.

My hometown has over half a million citizens within its borders. That is not much but the Puget Sound corridor (Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Renton, Redmond, Kirkland, Linwood across 3 counties: Pierce, King, and Snohomish (ordered from south to north)) has millions of citizens. You can drive between all the biggest cities near the Puget Sound (3 of the top 5 in the state) and never see an area that did not have a building on it that was not underwater, a park, or designated green-space.


Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

I am from San Jose, which is the 10th largest city in the US and it has a staggering population of 945,942 (2010 stats)

I moved to Rocklin in 2008 and it is a much smaller city with a population of 56,974 (again 2010 stats)

In total if you add the populations of the Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley (including all cities in these areas), that's a population of about 9,714,390

My hometown: New Castle, Pa

Pop.: 26,309 (as of 2000)

Near: Pittsburgh, Pa (Pop. 305,704 [City] as of 2010)

Kennedy_Square.jpg

Little Known Facts:

Famous baseball manager Chuck Tanner (Pittsburgh Pirates 1977-1985) lived here and went to Shenango Area High School (The school I go to).

Home of Zambelli Fireworks one of the largest pyrotechnics companies in the USA. If your watching fireworks on the 4th of July, there is a high chance this is who is shooting them off.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I love the small town atmosphere, but the short drive to Pittsburgh.
