No point that labels itself a troll can be called substantive

That doesn't even make sense. He's right across the river from some one of the fastest-growing areas of the country

Exercise for Kuciwalker:

As a percentage, how much has Maryland's population increased during Jaguar's lifetime?

Similarly, what is the percentage for Alberta?

[Kuciwalker]

right across the river

[Asher]

Is it Maryland right across the river?

[Kuciwalker]

Can you read?

Jaguar is right across the river from one of the fastest growing areas of the country.

i.e. the place across the river from Maryland is that fast-growing place.

i.e. Northern Virginia.

Which, since it's very close, he should be perfectly familiar with.

I can read, I'm just pointing out that it's not Maryland you are talking about while it was Maryland I was talking about.

And no, judging from the statistics on Wikipedia on the population growth of Virginia it doesn't classify as explosive growth either. It's growing at a good clip, yes. But Calgary's population has nearly doubled in my lifetime, and in the past three or four years it's been the fastest growing major city in North America. The kind of growth in Maryland, or even Northern Virginia, doesn't compete in terms of stress on the infrastructure.

Leave it to Kuciwalker to overanalyze an off-the-cuff swipe at the ****iness of Maryland.

Are you good at anything at all, Ben?

And no, judging from the statistics on Wikipedia

-1 for using wikipedia as a reliable source, when you can cite the official census data instead.

on the population growth of Virginia

-1 for deliberately obfuscating the stats. It's "Northern Virginia" not "Virginia" as a whole.

City!= Region.

doesn't compete in terms of stress on the infrastructure.

When you have ****ty infrastructure like Calgary it isn't hard to stress it.

What is that writing at bottom right?

EDIT: DC. Ok.

The data is identical and directly cited from the official census data.

-10 for your continual douchebaggery regarding wikipedia. This is casual discussion, I'm not wasting time dealing with PDFs and inconsistent poorly designed regional cites.

-1 for deliberately obfuscating the stats. It's "Northern Virginia" not "Virginia" as a whole.

"Northern Virginia" is not rigidly defined nor sourced in any census stats I found, nor do I care.

-10 for you not citing any evidence to the contrary and simply adding noise.

City!= Region.

-10 for you not realizing that it doesn't matter. Do you not think that Alberta's population also nearly doubled in my lifetime? More noise.

When you have ****ty infrastructure like Calgary it isn't hard to stress it.

It's not ****ty, it's just inadequate for the population. There's a lot of constraints I'm sure you're not aware of (the river, the Native Reserves being the big ones, labour shortages as well).

All in all, you're ****ing useless as usual.

[SlowwHand]

What labour shortages? Any manufacturing planning needed? I could be looking soon. Never know.

You didn't seem to be able to deduce that I was saying that you were wrong to only talk about Maryland.

Leave it to Asher to jump the gun without understanding the analysis

For the past several years there's been massive labour shortages in manual labour, anything construction-related, etc. Wendy's and McDonalds were offering $12-14 per hour at one point they were so desperate. As Jaguar said, construction is everywhere -- mostly private projects. Any infrastructure work the city is doing is costing a fortune and taking forever due to shortages.

Manufacturing is not big in Alberta, that's mostly Ontario's thing.
