Looks like the trend of growth in the South and West continues to dominate. Not really surprising. Here in Canada growth is still strongest in Alberta & BC as well...

Yes. I put this post in the "United States" area because previous posts like this that I made elsewhere were moved into it. Very few people look at posts in this section. Someone else started a similar thread in the city discussions section and it has pages and pages of comments.

South and West getting all the growth here; it's true.
