That's enough for a Costco and a Trader Joe's!
I'll forgo both to keep the population much lower!

I think we are projected to have a pop'n around 125K at buildout. And we sure won't have much internal growth ... what with the fertility rate here ... so I think 125K is probably pretty realistic. I.e., Unless the developer keeps finding more property around here.
