I did not mean that Oregon was dense, rahter the Portland Metro Area, and in that I also did not mean we are NOW dense but that we have, politically, attempted to force ourselves into higher density for the last twenty years. We are now at the point that housing prices are kept artificially high by a growth boundary, and buildable land inside this boundary is becoming fast scarce. <br /> <br />This is especially true of industrial lands... as a rust belt state these are of high value to us.... course that may not be wise as in tough economic times at these, we are first down and last up, as builders of durable goods. <br /> <br />On Texas, I agree. I do not know why Oklahoma rated and Texas did not. Politics no doubt but IMHO Oklahoma, (where I have numeroud cousins,) does not have that much importance to the nation to have that kind of pull.
