[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b] Immigrants and their children account for the growth, not births to the native population.[/b]  It would be pretty easy to stop or reduce "growth", but that wouldn't meet the economic needs of our overseers.[/quote]

This.

It's about cheap labor and votes for certain wealthy people.  That's why the growth is allowed unfettered.  [/quote]

It’s not cheap labor so much as it is tens of millions of fresh social security numbers that can rack up debt - rent, mortgage, car, credit cards, etc.[/quote]
