Boom-chica-boom - The Pulitzer Prize-winning LA Times announces the local angle on census data: Boom! Counties throughout southern CA are growing, and the illustration used to demonstrate just how much helps to put things in perspective. While there is massive growth in places like Houston and Loudon County, VA, the growth in the Southland over the last three years is "akin to scattering the entire population of San Francisco and Marin counties among communities from Ventura south to San Ysidro." Hmm...no wonder traffic is so bad.
