How many golf courses and Rec centers were there back then? How many grocery stores? Maybe the infrastructure has lagged a bit, but probably not by a huge amount
By the numbers you have cited, 2875 vs. 3594 people per square mile, it appears there are 25% more people now per square mile. This is huge when you're looking at use of the recreational facilities, traffic on the roads, people at the restaurants, etc. Just sayin'.
