Global Warming In The Bakken

Cold Temperature Record Set November 15, 2014

**********************************

Demographics, Immigration, Road Construction

Over the weekend we've been driving around quite a bit of the Dallas - Ft Worth metroplex. I was surprised again by how much interstate and highway construction that is going on in the area. I have driven cross country several times in the past four years, and have spent a fair amount of time in the Boston area over the past four years. I have a pretty good feel for road construction. It looks like 95% of all highway construction is occurring in Texas, and the other 5% is occurring in the Bakken.

There is a lot of development going on in north Texas, in addition to all the road construction. Thinking about that development/construction and the pending immigration, in my opinion the three states to watch for growth are North Carolina, California, and Texas. Of the three, California looks like it has the most to lose. For one reason, the new immigrants have a huge state in which to move around in Texas, and not simply along the border. San Antonio, among the non-border cities, will probably see the largest influx. California, on the other hand will see most of the new immigrants in a relatively (percentage-wise) small area of California. Los Angeles County will probably see the largest influx of the California counties. Texas has the jobs the new immigrants will need; California? Not so much.

I don't know enough about North Carolina to say much more. Bottom line: North Carolina, California, and Texas are the states to watch over the next ten years. North Carolina is under the radar. California will be the media darling, but Texas will have better growth over the next decade.

The other states? Louisiana, of course, is going to do very, very well. Oregon may be a positive surprise.

New York? Like the cover on Bloomberg Businessweek in which Taylor Swift is now THE music industry, NYC is New York. And the tea leaves suggest it will be a struggle for NYC.

Boston and New England? The anti-growth crowd in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts pretty much says it all. For all the driving I did in eastern Massachusetts over the past four years, I saw very little road construction. And there is no question that the roads in Massachusetts are in much worse shape than any in Texas. The "Big Dig" sucked up a lot of transportation money; and, the roads are simply much older in New England than in the southwest. New England and New York state only have to look at what Philadelphia is doing (reported earlier today).

A Note to the Granddaughters

It feels like Christmas holidays today. It's cold outside, and the forecast is for a very small bit of snow tonight. We have the heat on (something I rarely do) and the apartment is toasty warm. May is making chocolate chip cookies, and the younger granddaughter is working on her crafts. The older granddaughter is busy at her own house and did not come over, at least not yet. When she hears we have fresh chocolate chip cookies, she will probably come over.

Earlier today (and yesterday, for that matter) traffic was backed up about two miles on on the highway / exit ramp to the up-scale mall and Bass Outdoor World just northwest of where we live.

With a bit of snow tonight, it's going to feel a lot like Christmas.

And now, Sunday night football. I missed the NASCAR championship race; we don't get ESPN on our basic television plan and the neighborhood sports restaurant only shows NFL football on Sundays.

Sunday Night Football, Faith Hill Yes, I know: Carrie Underwood is now Ms SNF.
