Yep. Main reason why the city never grows

What does this mean? We grew by 10k since the last census.

I don’t see that anywhere on the government census website. I see a decrease in population from 2020-2021 (not unusual with COVID).

There is really no argument to be had against the thought that this city is a bit resistant to development.

Not sure why this is upvoted. The 2021 number is only an estimate and also is only a decrease of about 700 people from 2020.

The city has also grown every census since 1990, when it had a population of 160,728.

As it should, I don’t disagree. I think it has potential to grow more than 1% each year lol
