Talk:Sun Belt

message: Two references to growing economic opportunities - but GDP rates do not show that Sun Belt states generally perform better than non-Sun Belt states, with States like Washington, North Dakota, etc., ranking as high or better.

message: How come Louisville, Kentucky be included in the sun belt while Nashville, Tennessee or Denver, Colorado get excluded? If any no one can explain this, I'll delete the Louisville link.
:I removed it. If nothing else, it is very far from the zone shown on the map. Pfly 10:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

message: User 208.81.184.4 recently reverted the list of cities from a compact table back to a list. Not that it matters a whole lot but I think the table is better simply because the list is long with lots of white space and scrolling down is a nuissance. It is frankly debatable whether listing out so many cities has real value but if this is going to be kept I think making it more compact is worthwhile.
Anyway, I'm not going to get into an edit war over it but if somebody else agrees with me feel free to put the table back in the way I had it.

thread_title:  Transient 

message: "Since Lyndon B. Johnson's election in 1964, every elected United States President, with the exception of Barack Obama from Illinois, has been from the Sun Belt. (Gerald Ford, who was from Michigan, served as President following Richard Nixon's resignation but was not elected as President, and lost to Georgia's Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election.)"
This seems to infer that the presidents were born in the sunbelt. But Ronald Reagan (Illinois), George H W Bush (Massachusetts), and George W Bush (Connecticut) were all born outside. I know thet Reagan and George W Bush were governers of sun belts states but I think this passage is still a bit missleading. 81.97.41.36 (talk) 20:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I slightly changed the wording of the sentence about people moving to the sun belt in the lede.
I thought that the copy edit was great, but it changed the sentence to say that retiring baby boomers move because of the milder climate, whereas before it said that population had increased because of moving baby boomers and the milder climate.
I don't really know which is more accurate, I was just trying to restore the previous meaning.  The result is admittedly a bit awkward.  AgnosticAphid talk 22:51, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

message: There is a reference to "immigrants, both documented and undocumented".  That is a euphemism.  Shouldn't it properly ready "both legal and illegal"?203.184.41.226 (talk) 03:46, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, my perhaps incorrect understanding is that overstaying your visa is not a crime in and of itself.  So, although I'm inclined to agree that "documented and undocumented" is a euphemism (certainly these immigrants have some kind of documents), "legal and illegal" is not much of an accurate substitute.

message: The infobox provides an exact population figure, supported by this citation. However, that link is just a collection of state populations and the figure in our article is therefore original research. My searches for a replacement ref are not going well. There's lots of stuff about population growth and stuff about individual city or state populations (example), but nothing to support the 144,460,016 figure.

message: I have removed the section "Major cities in not always included the Sun Belt" twice because it is unsourced and frankly makes no sense to me. It keeps being restored, so I thought maybe editors can discuss here why this section should be in the article and a citation for the content which appears to be original research.

message: The article linked to American crocodile states "The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is a species of crocodilian found in the Neotropics. It is the most widespread of the four extant species of crocodiles from the Americas, with populations present from South Florida and the coasts of Mexico to as far south as Peru and Venezuela."
