Increased land sales and development

[DTisme]

I know everyone here complains bout the transplants - I'm a transplant myself, came 8 years ago from Bay Area - but man, if you go to the mainland, there are tons of places I have lived where you will see MUCH more development and encroachment on rural land. When I go to where I grew up in the outlying DC suburbs of Maryland, I dont' recognize anything anymore. I can only tell from the street names and some few remaining buildings where I am. Once rural roads are now strewn with apartment complexes, etc. It's population. People just keep having babies, who have babies, who have babies. They all need places to live. So I am much more tolerant of development here, bc I've seen it on steroids.
