the societal mechanisms that establish a self regulating population environment becomes obvious
Not so much "society" unless that construct is extended to include the anti-development attitude so prevalent in our lovely Planning Commission. From the same website:
However, many parts are still underdeveloped with no shopping centers or other public facilities nearby. That means that although these subdivisions are the size of small cities they do not look like a city at this point, and because some of the parcels are up to 3 acres, they probably never will.
Forcing all development into "commercial centers" (aka "Hilo") and then forcing everyone to sit in traffic on the single inadequate highway is an excellent formula for "more congestion of people clumped tighter together, not growth."
That said, the "anti-growth agenda" is definitely cheaper than retrofitting the proper level of infrastructure. It's going to be "hilarious" when HPP hits the wall. (Singling out HPP for obvious reasons: most lots, fastest growth.)
