I'm glad for that too. The growth issue is more that a little troubling.
Thomas Beckett's post about the "Po Bronson" book got me to wondering if 
Developers are just trying to achieve a sense of self worth.
Developing a tract of land and putting, let's say, 50 houses, w/2 cars each 
alongside a country road that supported one house w/one-car (now multiply 
this...) and you've got an issue. All the good people who find work out of 
this system, contractors, carpenters, supplies manufacturers, dealers, 
etc., mom and dad who retired on the "$'s" from the sale of the tract in 
the first place, all are hard pressed to not do this. But now mom and dad, 
like everyone on the street, are in "break-riding" mode when they go back 
to visit the grand-kids at the tract.

The growth issue is very troubling, and mostly when it's seeming to arise 
from this achievement drive.
...nuf for now.
