I mean, Austin suburbs sprawl south to Kyle at this point, and San Antonio burbs pretty much include New Braunfels. The growth of both cities will run into San Marcos in the next 10 years and then it will officially be another seamless mega metro.
Maybe a bit premature to call them one now, but it's definitely headed that way.

West Florida boundry went east to the Apalachicola River in Florida.
Florida had two capital cities. Pensacola for West Florida and St Augustine for East Florida at the time.
When the state became a whole they put the capital halfway between the 2 cities and formed Tallahassee.
So yes all the land west of Panama City was included in the Republic of West Florida

I was today years old when I learned SC was bigger than Louisiana, for some reason that shocked me.
And yes SC is over run with Mid-Atlantic Yankees....

Kentucky's population always surprises me. It isn't a huge state, geographically. It should pass Louisiana soon, since Louisiana is shrinking.

Sometstarted a thread a couple of months ago, asking how good Ole Miss or Miss State would be if there was only one of those schools in that state. The point being that the in state talent is split. It was an interesting idea. But it is true that Mississippi does produce a surprising amount of good athletes when you consider how small the population is

We that live in the South know we are inundated with people from Midwest, California and the Northeast. I guess they all have their reasons for moving here.
Do you know of anyone(I am sure there are exceptions)that retired, left the South to move to the above mentioned regions? I do not a single person that left the South, voluntarily, to live outside the South.

Is it just me, or does Louisiana produce the most athletes across the Big 3 sports than any other state with a similar population? Hmm I’m using the eye test tho.
I am pretty certain there are thousands of articles and talk show discussions about this and the answer is yes, for a small state Louisiana produces a TON of high caliber athletes across all sports except ice hockey...and hell they probably produce those also.

Always shocks me....the entire area seems like an off ramp on I-75 in north Atlanta. Its 505 square miles so a half mile from I-35 in either direction between the 2 it is not overly densely populated. Its a nice area if you have to be in Texas but it is generic as all get out...if you fell out of airplane in the area you wouldn't know you werent in Indianna

If you don’t know anyone at all who has voluntarily left the south for retirement, that seems incredibly sheltered. Plenty of nice things about the south, plenty of not so nice things as well. People in retirement follow their grandchildren, retire to their ski home in the mountain west, etc.

Not all of us. Some of us live in "shitholes" that nobody wants to live in. Some of us might even prefer that it stays that way...

I always like viewing it by Texas Metros.
Florida - 22,661,577
Georgia - 11,037,723
North Texas (DFW) - 7,943,685
Houston Metro - 7,340,000
Tennessee - 7,134,327
Missouri - 6,186,091
South Carolina - 5,372,002
Alabama - 5,098,746
San Antonio/Austin Metro - 4,786,143
Louisiana - 4,553,384
Kentucky - 4,518,031
Oklahoma - 4,048,375
Arkansas - 3,063,152
Mississippi - 2,930,528
THat is an interesting list and way to see things.
The population density of Texas is 105 people per square mile. Georgia, in comparison, is 132 per square mile. There is a HEAPING pile of Texas that contains nothing but a heaping pile of Texas. VAST areas are uninhabitable and with little or no direct access. I have a Border Patrol agent in El Paso tell me once that parts of the big bend region response time for Border patrol was measured in days...when someone says they have seen miles and miles of Texas they ain't lying...it is a vast expanse of nothing for the most part....

They are a census designated metropolitan area not unlike Dallas and Fort Worth or Atlanta, Sandy Springs and in some cases Athens. It takes way longer to drive from Greenville to Weatherford than it does from SA to Austin and Gvile to Weatherford is only about 80% of the DFW metro area according to the census

I don't want to add any more teams. 16 is already too many.
NC and VA would be great gets though...huge TV markets and almost as fertile recruiting as anywhere in the nation. LOADS of people and DIV 1 athletes in the mid atlantic region.

South Carolina is handling it well though...far better than Texas. The only area negatively impacted in my opinion has been Charleston which is a and always has been a shitty place. The rest of SC is about the same as it always has been. The Aiken / North Augusta area is actually nicer than it has been in years and the upstate is also nicer. Columbia and Florence is about the same as always. Texas is really not handling it well...

Is the talent just horse shite? Just one major attraction in the state. What is the reason Missouri sucks.

Can you give some examples of how Texas isn't handling immigration well?

Anecdotally the constant and non-stop bitching and whining about it would indicate that Texans ain't handling it well. I lived in Galveston Texas in 1983 for a little over a year after Hurricane Alicia and the locals were bitching and whining about it then. I have a buddy in New Braunfels who is convinced that a million people a day are relocating from California to Texas and have been for several years. When you mention that in a little over 2.5 years that'd been a billion people he will change the subject...math ain't his strong suit. What is really funny about it is there are very few folks in Texas who have been there for more than a couple of generations. Everybody is from somewhere else and its been that way since the early 1980s in my experience.
Anecodtes aside the population increases are causing major traffic problems, highway construction everywhere adding to that while a perfectly good toll road goes almost unused because of the costs and the local opposition to it being built in the first place, the criminal justice system is nearly dysfunctional with no where to house prisoners, no judges to hear cases and no prosecutors to try them, the school system is taxed to the breaking point and in general the same kinds of issues that have been associated with every boom in population ever is being experienced in Texas. The one outlier is water which has always been an issue in Texas but about to become a MAJOR impediment to further development. Are you suggesting Texas is handling the boom well because you'd be the first person with an opinion on the matter I ever heard make that claim who wasn't running for office or politicing for someone who is....
