   I personally like it that way. They're projecting an increase of 2 million   
   in the next 10 or 20 years, I forget which, and some of us think we have   
   enough Yankees already. Let 'em come and visit the Super Bowl, All-Star   
   games, Masters Cup and TPC tourneys, museum and theater districts, shop in   
   the Galleria, and leave their money here - pays for all the new stadiums -   
   but then go on home. Our semi-tropical perfect climate for 9 months of the   
   year we can enjoy without any more crowds.
