editor Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 The Creative Coast Initiative lists Houston as one of the places in the South for "creative class."Thinking big is one thing this massive metro does really well.

MidtownCoog Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Related to this is Rice's Bob Stein who had a story in the Chronicle. He said "people from the US are not moving to Houston. Only people from other countries".So are we growing our own CC?I think so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) Related to this is Rice's Bob Stein who had a story in the Chronicle. He said "people from the US are not moving to Houston. Only people from other countries".So are we growing our own CC?I think so!But I think Bob Stein is just plain wrong about that. I thought the recent numbers showed Houston was actually drawing both internal migration and immigration, unlike cities such as LA, SFO, etc etc. Perhaps he was talking about just the city, not the metropolitan area. (But even then, if you quoted him correctly, he was speaking very sloppily and incorrectly... There are in fact plenty of people moving to Houston and Harris County from within the US, but more are moving out to suburban counties, thus creating a NET internal migration loss for the city and for Harris County.)

RedScare Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) http://www.census.gov/prod/2006pubs/p25-1135.pdfCorrect. Though not a huge percentage of our population growth, Houston does have net positive domestic migration.Note: Scroll to page 8 for chart.
