Will Lexington and Louisville be one City connected by several smaller suburban towns?
I think so
I think so
In 100 years...
- Thread starter bkingUK
- Start date
yes and Jerry Abramsons head in a jar will be mayor.
Most of the posters here will be dead by then.
I will be 156 years old. Probably too old to care.
I plan on living forever. So far, so good.
Yes, with ocean views. Enjoy.
It will be called Greater Frankfort.
It would take a significant population explosion for it to happen between Lex and Lou. Both could get much bigger and not risk becoming one.
By 2122 the US national debt will likely be $627 quadrillion.
We'll build a wall before we let any of that heathen Jefferson County scum intermingle and threaten our Fayette County purity.
Louisville already moving into Shelby County. Georgetowners already commuting to Lex. People from both commuting to Frankfort.
In the future, people will have penthouses on Kentucky River because it will be on the monorail line.

In 100 years I'd think there would be high speed trains where you could get to say Chicago from cincy/Lou in like an hour.
But then again it depends on who builds it. If it's the government forget it, they'll may have a quarter mile of track finished in a century

Louisville will be annexed to Indiana by then, thanks to the great Kentuckiana War of 2057. Indiana loses, so they have to take Louisville.
It will be much like the Dallas metroplex in the future. Our map will look like this:
This is simultaneously fascinating and sickening. The interest on the debt looks like it goes up about $1,000 every second.
Ahhhh yes the make believe debt that we’re never going to pay back to whatever magical entity will never demand it unless they want to go to war
Exactly. I used to worry about the "debt" (to the extent that I worry about anything I have absolutely zero control over), but haven't in years and years. That website is just kinda cool in how it lists all categories and keeps a running total of them.
I remember in the mid-late 80s a lot of pundits/politicians were apoplectic when the debt reached 4 trillion and they were claiming we were on the verge of financial ruin...of course nothing happened at all.
I have no idea who the hell we owe debt to, or how that entity would ever even approach collecting it. At this point it seems like a silly make believe number to get people upset about government waste. At the end of the day if there isn’t anyone that can collect it it’s not debt.
Agreed. It’s basically monetary fear porn.
I like both cities so I’ll plan on living in one of the nicer sections of Waddy.
I know, they’re all nice.

Keep talking like that and people might figure out it’s all ********.

Nail, you're going to be in for a surprise or two along the way.

Okay, then get the Guvmint to write every US citizen a check for a billion....no, a trillion dollars.
Do you not go to the Weather Channel app or website? If so you would know that we are all going to be dead from either global warming, global freezing, a comet hitting the earth, the earth's axis changing or some other catastrophe within the next 25 years.
