In sheer numbers it looks like this
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state ... p-by-state

Here are the 10 states with the highest GDP:

California (3,120,386 million)
Texas (1,772,132 million)
New York (1,705,127 million)
Florida (1,111,614 million)
Illinois (875,671 million)
Pennsylvania (788,500 million)
Ohio (683,460 million)
Washington (632,013 million)
Georgia (627,667 million)
New Jersey (625,659 million)
I'm sorry i was the only one to be surprised that Florida is ranked in the bottom when you use this crazy "per capita" science.
Maybe, just for Florida, they need to do a separate per capita without the Cubans, Haitians and Puerto Ricans.
honestly, i think it certainly points out a problem.
And if the Cubans, Haitians and Puerto Ricans are legal?
i am assuming they are legal. you tell me what problem it points out?
I didn't say it did.

Puerto Ricans are natural born American citizens. As are folks born in Guam and the US Virgin Islands.

It's in their territorial constitution: to be a citizen of Puerto Rico, you must be an American first.

Despite the tourism and supporting facilities, Florida still remains a big agricultural state. We first in milk beef and diary in the South, tomatoes, watermelon, fern, celery, and even potatoes. Strawberries, too, and blueberries. And of course, various citrus. We also have a huge phosphate mining industry.

Unfortunately, quite a bit of that land has been converted over to growing concrete and cookie-cutter houses, or is in the process of it.

Same thing is happening up here, especially north of Toronto. Farm land is disappearing fast.

i got invited one time to a crazy golfing retreat at this estate owned by some paper company in north Florida. Near Jacksonville, or at least that's where we flew in and then drove quite a ways.

Yeah, that whole farmland to McMansions has been going on here for decades. Damn shame. Developers moving into pristine Texas Hill Country pisses me off to no end. McMansions pay top tax dollars. Farmland no so much.

I certainly saw it enough at the far west area of Houston, which used to be a yoooj rice growing area. Think Uncle Ben's corporate offices, right there in the middle of a large swampy region. Perfect for growing rice! Then slowly starting in the mid 70's, large tracts of that swampland was converted to housing and commercial space. And so what happened when a few good hurricanes moved thru, many of those houses flooded. Once the ground was dry, they were simple rebuild, again and again.

Same thing around Sugar Land, which used to host vast sugar plantations and pecan groves. Not no mo'...

When a I was in late Jr High/ early High School I lived in Alief- about 15 miles N of Sugar Land. Thriving Houston area town (Think Plano of Dallas). When I moved away because of Dad's work, the edge of Houston was 15 miles away and the town was vowing to never be swallowed up and incorporated by Houston. 2+ years later after I graduated from High School, I went to visit some old friends. Houston had overrun (and incorporated Alief) and was already 10 miles West. Wouldn't even think of visiting again today. Crime infested Shithole (the usual suspects). My Uncle still lives there and has been robbed twice in his front yard over the years.

i had to drive to houston the other day. I can't believe that Hempstead and Magnolia have been swallowed up. You don't know when you are even leaving houston and going through hempstead.

My sister lived in Spring way back. Moved farther out later passed Tomball out in the country somewhere. Got wind that Houston was going to plow an outer loop within a half mile of her place. She lives in Magnolia now. She can't escape the Houston sprawl.
