Given that we really have no idea about any of the following:

1) How much water can the aquifer provide?
2) Where are we going to put any additional treated wastewater?
3) Where will we be sending the overflow from our garbage dumps?
4) How many prisoners or other non-productive residents can we support?
5) What solutions are available for the accommodating the increased traffic?
6) What provisions will be made regarding the displaced wildlife that will suffer a loss of habitat?

I haven't heard or seen anything from the pro economic development folks who believe that we should 'pack em in till they're tight' that might address these and other practical questions. I've lived in large cities in several parts of the country and I did not enjoy the experience. I was hoping this place was far enough away from growth that I could hide. WRONG!!! Until and unless we solve the practical problems of added growth, we should stop it where it is.
