Rapid growth throughout Columbus brings both challenges and opportunities >> www.10tv.com/article/news/local/boomtown-ohio/columbus-ohio-fast-growing-city-us-boomtown/530-a22d398f-744a-4565-af48-e5a0823727c2
Add a rail system please. We can do it. I’m tired of only buses and cars to get around. If you’re going to talk about boom town- you have to talk about rail.
@@johndillinger8482we have the need we just can’t. Itd cost way too muchmuch, take way too long and it would suck if its treated anything like cota. Were better off without light rail until mike dewines corrupt ass is dealt with
I was born there and graduated from college in Columbus. I love the people there. My only concern is that it is becoming a suburban sprawl city. Intel and tech are actually taking over the farmland way outside the downtown. I just wish the development was more of a downtown thing like other renaissance cities are experiencing. For example Cleveland and Cincinnati are experiencing a major redevelopment of their urban core making them an exciting place to live. I hope the same for you Columbus!
Columbus is having much more of its urban redevelopment occurring in its neighborhoods adjacent to downtown. Which is just as dope as redeveloping downtown itself imho.
COTA will be a voting issue this coming November, pass the levy...transit has to have funding. All of the negative comments are people that grew up here with "little minds", and that doesn't offer anything possible toward POSITIVE growth for the educated population that took time out of their life to further their quality of life through EDUCATION!
@@dsdwtn5911 yes, the Morse Rd development model is in a dumpster with the rest of the Reagan-era sprawl development plans where it belongs. They were supposed to make 670 a full loop. That’ll never happen now either. All the energy is now going towards neighborhood redevelopment. Of course it’ll take longer for us than it did Austin, Charlotte and other places in large part bc of the weather but still. Wheels are in motion.
It’s not just about affordable housing. Affordable housing is expensive to built, yes you need affordable housing but the priority should be “attainable” housing. Build more housing = a stable market. Focus on just one type of housing that takes 1 a long time to build, 2 expensive to build =california. And last comment, affordable housing is for low income families and individuals not for middle class people who can afford market rate housing.
This area needs, needs, NEEDS, a better mass transit system. It is long overdue. We need an integrated system that works. Lines that run 24 hours, Lines that truly move people from one area to another quickly. Light rail is so needed. Columbus will not properly expand without proper transit.
Im a graduate of the University of Toledo. Had initially moved to Atlanta. It wasnt the City or Metro for me. Metropolitan Atlanta back in 1986 or 1987 had a Metropolitan population of 2.5. Million. Columbus now has a Metro Population 2.4 to 2.5 Million. It is now the "Boom" populpation that Metro Atlanta had when I was around 25 years old. Therefore, Ive whitnessed the GROWTH! It is becoming "The Future for Black America"!
If Columbus grows like Nashville or Austin ( lots of new skyscrapers, multiple international flights- as two examples), then maybe something exciting to talk about
@@DavidAlgoma I used to live there and still have property and family there. Growth is good bring new life to a community. If there isn’t growth then there is decline and then cites and towns become abandoned.
@@markwagner4909 I wonder if your family would paint as rosy a picture. I agree that without growth that towns die, but there's a reason DeWine sent 1.5 million there; the place is in crisis! God bless you and your family.
@@Acemechanicalservices Okay then if we have transparency for costs and funding then would you support it? Also you can put it on any of the 6 lane streets that cut up Columbus and just give it dedicated right of way like they're planning on doing with the buses but better because trains can add capacity much more easily than buses and can also be self-driving.
Columbus may currently have a leading high growth rate but it does not have the largest population gains in the nation. Google search showed Columbus metro with 950,000 residents in 1990 and 1,727,000 residents in 2024. Dallas Fort Worth had a much larger increase in population from 3,8 in 1990 to 8.4 million during this same time period. Austin metro had 465,290 in 1990 and 2,274,000 in 2024.
Does anyone really think Columbus is a Boomtown? Our amenities are 3rd or 4th rate. Can't see a million more people moving here. More likely, the metro population will stay the same, and we'll expand eastward with the new factories such as Intel, if that's what they really will be called.
its not.I lived in Atlanta during the boom there in the 80's. Now even the suburbs in Atlanta are a crime ridden shithole. The polticians running Columbus are outright crooks
@@1thetvzone you're in big trouble, because the constitution is for executives and ceos. Only Ceos can run cities and states, and city councils. We are not Romania or Vienna, with decent societies, fair liveable wages, and bans on profit gauging. We need to get out of the dream fog. America lied to people. Time for article 6
mayor says cant have people coming to work in columbus and cant afford housing when the fact show people coming to town to work high paying jobs makes it harder for everyone who doesn't have a high paying job. all the service folk your moving on out
Is blue collar manufacturing coming to Columbus soon; if not then there won’t be much job creation for the unemployed and the unskilled workers in the workforce.
Might as well, they’re worried about the Haitians in Springfield but nothing about everything and everyone else brought here for the job market?!!😂😂😂 Keep it up 😅
They'll probably work some of the construction jobs that enable the growth that local residents refuse to do, so don't worry your little head over it, m'kay?
If you don't know the History of Haiti, look it up! They were the first and only slave colony that revolted against their White Slave Owners. They are decent people! Only White Supremacists have negative opinions about immigration. If it were "white European immigrants Donald Trump wouldn't have made that statement we wouldn't be going through this shit. I challenge you, look up the history of slave trade.

Ohio needs a highspeed rail system between Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati -- and maybe Pittsburgh. 😂
And chicago through indy
Great Lakes/Midwest super region is going to be the place that everyone moves to when the gulf coast goes underwater.

Columbus isnt Atlanta.Columbus doesnt have the need for rail.

1:17 the Intel Project is stalled to 2026. And affordable houses need built. Don’t California our Columbus!!!
That will never happen! Think about the other industries in California that cause those issues.

Columbus has the worst of California and Mogadishu to compliment the jewish nest in Bexley.

So much growth that, I don't want to live here anymore. Pretty soon I wont be able to afford it anyway.

@@T-qn7qdhas the growth created problems for the local native population?
@@cjm8160 It has caused several problems.
Just got back from Austin after 10 years. Entirely new city. Its authenticity is being destroyed en masse.

Growth is always good

This is the dumbest comment I have ever seen. What an absolute moron.
Give me 80s early 90s cbus back plz
that Columbus was home but it gone...Columbus is moving up like Nashville and other cities, but ppl are moving outside the city.
Boom based on bullshit. You quality of life is under attack.
Yep. Noise pollution is a real threat to mental health . No one talks about that.
we need passenger rail so bad
very true but they make all the excuses of not having the money and people.
No one wants to ride the bus with Ginther's foster children. They won't want to ride the train with them, either.
And those people are the same reason walkable cities will never work here long-term.
No we don’t. Those projects always end up being fraudulent. How would that work anyway? Where are they going to put it?
@@Acemechanicalservices Okay then if we have transparency for costs and funding then would you support it?

What they now say is the metropolitan area is a bogus inclusion of far flung, completely rural, farm towns.
