Fastest growing cities mostly in southwest and florida

The US Census Bureau released its list of the fastest-growing cities with at least 100,000 people showing new residents flocking to midsize cities in Florida, Arizona, Nevada and California.

The fastest growing city was Gilbert, Arizona, followed by Miramar, Florida, North Las Vegas, Nevada; Port St. Lucie, Florida; and Roseville, California. Rounding out the top 10 were Henderson, Nevada; Chandler, Arizona; Cape Coral, Florida; and Rancho Cucamonga, California; and Irvine, California.

The report doesn't include much information on where these people are coming from other than saying that Boston and San Fransisco are the big losers, but regardless these new voters and the shifting demographics will certainly be felt in the 2008 presidential election as the campaigns fiercely compete for votes throughout these states.

Heh...one of these folks can have my spot in Florida. I'm leaving it for Georgia in a couple of weeks.

::sigh:: I hate the drudgery of packing up my household. How can one family have so much useless crap in one house? LOL...packrats, I'm surrounded by packrats.

Funny thing is one person moved to Cape Coral, FLA every hour last year... And then for good luck they threw one more person in a day... That's crazy!
