    America will be a much better place going forward.


    Influxes of African, Asian, and Latino Americans helped Houston's metro area avoid economic stagnation. Could an expected demographic shift on the national level


    The result? What was once a "biracial Southern city," as Rice University sociologist Stephen Klineberg put it, is now one of America’s most diverse metropolitan areas. In fact, by one measure of diversity—how evenly distributed the population is between blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians—it beats out New York and Los Angeles. By 2060, the Census Bureau predicts the country will follow, roughly, in Houston's footsteps, with no single race claiming a majority of the population.

    LOL, now the left suddenly likes the economy of Texas?

    Texas has had a healthy growing economy because it is less taxed and less regulated than California and New York. Thousands upon thousands of companies have left these two liberal states for Texas, which is a solid red state, and ranked one of the best places for businesses.

    No, the "diversity" in America's future will look more like Chicago. Rich white progressives in the North, Hispanics in the West, and blacks in the south. Just like the country overall.

    Ah, yes... Houston is a wonderful role model... for urban sprawl.

    I'd you not to hold your breath. The reason Houston is so prosperous is it because of the multiculturalism. It is because there is a port here a huge port oil refineries huge real estate developments. A world-renowned medical center. And most importantly gentrification of urban blight.
