Sprawl is the term used for "I got mine"

So what part of "mine" is so confusing? It is my town, and I expect new residents to assimilate- not take over the schools and push their new agenda all over. These are typically not people seeking refuge, they are wealthy folks invading places that were poor, and happy to be poor.

It's classism. The only way they can feel superior is by building mansions next to shacks and letting their kids out to prey on the neighborhood.

"Sprawl, defined as the unplanned, uncontrolled..."

I am a land developer, please tell me where I can build some unplanned, uncontrolled subdivisions, I've yet to find such a place.

"These are typically not people seeking refuge, they are wealthy folks invading places that were poor, and happy to be poor."

There's an idiotic statement. People moving to suburbs are represent all levels of the economic scale, including those on welfare. I develop affordable housing and homes for first-time buyers, in the suburbs. Oh, and bring me some statements from people who are "happy to be poor." That's a good one...

There is only one alternative to sprawl. Urban density, people living like rats in a cage.

Avoid injecting any common sense into this debate. You will be called a communist.
