You're saying the percentage rise in unemployment has been higher in TX while before you were saying TX was spared because of energy: Yes, compared to the rest of the country, TX has done much better. 8% is a hell of a lot better than 14%. -------------------------------- They are called parks. Doesn't matter what you call them ... besides I saw lots of green space and I don't think they were all parks. Is everything east of Everett a park? No, but Everett is in Snohomish County. Let me explain.....Snohomish County is an exurban county. Its an area that separates the city from the countryside. There is more open land there because it hasn't been developed. Once again, if you go back to my original point, any developable land around Seattle is north or south of the city. Everett is 20 miles north. To the West of Everett is Lake WA and a few miles to the east is the Cascade Mts. Hence, the developmental strip is a relatively narrow one......with water to the West and mts to the East. ------------------------------------- Sammamish and Duvall are in Snohomish County....they are exurban.....more rural....just now developing. Seattle and Bellevue are in King County. King County is mostly built up. Who cares about the county lines .... I listed places where there's a vast amount of undeveloped land with 8-14 miles of MSFT's HQ's. There isn't a vast amount of vacant land. Its mostly foothills of the Cascades. ----------------------------------- I didn't make it up. It doesn't surprise me that Austin is known as a model city in the rest of the country but not in TX. What makes Austin a "model city"? relocateamerica.com --------------------------------------- I was talking about its industry mix......nicely diverse.....state gov't, tech and some manufacturing............the envy of other cities. Except for the state government, those things don't make it unique in TX. But the state gov't does make it unique.....that was my point. ---------------------------------------------

“Hawaii, the state where President Obama was born, has done everything they can to debunk this myth that he wasn’t born in America,” Clinton said. “They’ve done everything but blow up his birth certificate, put it in neon lights and hang it on the dome in the Capitol.” “But 45 percent of registered Republicans still believe that he is serving unconstitutionally,” Clinton insisted, though he did not identify the poll. “Why?” he asked. “Because they’ve been told that by the only place they go to get information.”
