We used to subscribe to the Economist, and just couldn't keep up. Too much good stuff! And, we don't even watch TV... I'll check out the piece, though. This type of urban planning stuff always gets me riled up. If I hadn't gone into banking and PR, I probably would have gotten into city planning, somehow. take care.

According to the report, Texas is now home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other U.S. state, has an unemployment rate lower than the U.S. average, and has the country's highest population growth. It has low taxes (including no personal income tax) and a business-friendly legal environment, but it also has the third-highest poverty rate, the second-highest imprisonment rate, and highest proportion of people without health insurance among all 50 states. As more and more people from more and more places call Texas home, how will the state -- and the country -- change as a result? It's an interesting question that gets thorough and thought-provoking treatment in this special report. You can check it out here: http://www.economist.com/specialreports/.
