Raheem,

The Atlanta Metro is growing faster when counting actual residents versus percentages.  Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Charlotte are as well.  I'm not overrating Atlanta or underrating Jacksonville at all.  The numbers speak for themselves.  This area is close to seeing a tipping point where a tru boom is emminent.  With the shipping hubs lining up, a steady population growth, and a relatively low cost of living (compared to most of the state), its only a matter of time.  But to say that this area is growing faster than Atlanta or Miami is a stretch.  Atlanta's urban project lists and investments alone outmatch the entire city of Jacksonville, and Miami beats us both.  Most city's have seen they're growth explosions around 1.5 million and the Jax area is just now hitting those numbers but is also setting setting up for something much greater than Miami and Atlanta could ever imagine.  The geography of this region is perfect for explosive and smart growth assuming we have the leaders to make it happen.
