The More The Merrier—Houston Area Gets Ever Bigger & Excellent Census Website
According to the Census Bureau, the Houston metropolitan area is now the sixth largest metro area in the United States. The Houston area passed the Miami area in the past year.
The more the merrier. Today it is a boom. Someday it will be a bust. So it goes. At one point people moved to live along the Erie Canal. Maybe someday they’ll move to the moon.
All sorts of numbers can be found at the Census Bureau webpage. The specific metro area numbers are here. It’s interesting and fun stuff to read.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
(Above—The Amirta Sher-Gil painting Three Girls. It was painted in 1935.)
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
I can be reached at naa six one eight at att dot net
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

houston can have them. cincinnati has been evacuated to butler county. As much as we needed those tax payers to stay they were never part of the solution to the problems of Hamilton co. They were the cause. they cote down the levies and hate the people that really live in this city and make in function. I say you can have butler county and mason and westchester and we will be just fine without them. If we could relocate our city council there that would also be a great help to the city of Cincinnati.
