So what happens is that you get packed in there, and then <br />you move the line to the west, and the result of that is a higher <br />density countywide and more population in the long run. He <br />believed the DCA originally said that if you can provide the <br />infrastructure to meet the needs of the growth, that is what the <br />goal is. One of the problem he has with the urban sprawl idea is <br />that you don't give any credit for the node concept. He <br />26 <br />® s M <br />
