Every few months there is an article in the ABC about some missing infrastructure in the 'growth areas'. They never seem to address that we've knowingly grown populations in areas without infrastructure instead of growing populations in areas where there is already infrastructure.
We're building houses in the middle of nowhere and only later being surprised that these houses also need schools, trains, libraries, shops, cafes , roads and jobs.
We should be growing the areas that already have infrastructure
@jessta You can easily blame city councils and zoning boards who welcome development blindly, enthusiastically. Get the tax base, houses built and worry about the rest later. N of Ft Worth it was developed like this, a mess the last time we were there. 4 way stops everywhere on farm roads and such congestion. Virtually every great place in the country is guaranteed to be ruined by over developed. We’ve got to get the idea of endless expansion as a positive out of our noggins.
