[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growth is coming, [b]because the US population is growing[/b], while many areas of the country are in terminal decline. This region is relatively wealthy/dynamic. So the only question is whether we have smart growth - investing in public transport, cycling infrastructure, preserving green space etc - or chaotic growth- with more congestion, overcrowding etc.[/quote] Because certain policymakers, who work just down the road, decided that their corporate donors needed more customers and cheaper labor. Immigrants and their children account for the growth, not births to the native population. It would be pretty easy to stop or reduce "growth", but that wouldn't meet the economic needs of our overseers.[/quote]
