I said this in another thread but the explosive boom of the past is largely in the past for Texas. We are ageing and birthrates are declining across the board. We are still growing at a steady pace but the growth is stabilizing and the population is maturing; Houston for example is less and less of a transient city. People come here with intent of staying, not merely passing through. And the rest of the country is healthier economically to offer transplants more options. Houston at 7 million is more than enough but I'm sure we will hit 10 million (ugh) at some point but it will take longer to get there...
