When the kids move out of the house, they gotta move somewhere...
Farm towns get invaded by leftist yuppies all the time.
Small towns turn into big towns, and suddenly have crime and lousy schools to deal with.
Big towns turn into cities, creating ghettos and urban decadence existing side-by-side.
Where ever there is growth - taxes go up, culture is ruined, and values don't exist. And there is traffic. Lots and lots of traffic.
The same 69 percent would also vote to limit someone else's ability once they achieve "I've got mine" status.
Exactly. I have said that numerous times, and been called a communist in return. People can say what will, it does not affect me.
yep
That sums it up pretty well. ;)
The majority of pop. growth in the US is coming from immigration, predominantly illegal. Aside from illegal immigration, we have a fairly low birthrate, and in turn, a low pop. growth rate.
Fear not. The states in the Rust Belt are becoming depopulated and the land will be reverted back to nature.
"Sprawl" is simply a pejorative, Luddite term for growth. It's been going on since the seventeenth century, and since the seventeenth century the same people have been bemoaning the same phenomenon. The Iroquois, the Cheyenne, the Greens, the Enviros... stand in the way of the American Juggernaut and see what happens. That screaming you hear is simply the sound of the greatest democracy the world has ever seen being born and hitting its stride. In a mere moment of history, the Old World aristocracy is gone and self-determination arrives.
Where the heck do they get that statistic? Talk about hysterics!
You nailed it. The demands on our resources, social services, environment, and economy are being strained by legal and illegal immigration. If the Left was so concerned about the environment they'd stop immigration. But multicultural nirvana trumps all other values and goals.
STOP IMMIGRATION NOW!!!!
Spwawl is the term used for "I got mine", now screw you, and everyone who might come after you.
Duh. I'm sure the enviroweenies want me to stay at home with my parents. Then again, that's what most of them have been doing for years.
There it is! That's what it's all about! Control, control control! We should all have to ask the nice guvment where we can live! They're experts! We're stupid!
The only thing that I don't understand are the number of affluent young families that decide to move that far out, but then into one of those cookie-cutter "McMansion" deals. *Ugh*!
The problem is, everyone wants to live/work in certain regions of the country. All of the sprawl is concentrated in a few key areas that have registered continual economic growth.
BTW: People should have as many children as they can afford. I was heartened on recent trips to Utah and South Carolina to see several families with five kids, sometimes more. This contrasts with New York and Calipornia where the only folks with more than two kids are immigrants from the Middle East or Latin America.
