This is my conversation with Diego Mendoza-Moyers about the critical demographic changes we’re seeing in El Paso, and the causes, consequences and some benefits of those changes. The crisis that we’re seeing in our major school districts from declining enrollment is in some ways an early warning system for other challenges we’ll face in coming years. Rapid or very rapid population growth defined El Paso for 75 years after the Great Depression. We’re essentially 13 years into our post-growth era. How we adapt to that reality will define El Paso for the next three or four generations.
