Hi cquick lived in other large cities understand and accept the concept of traffic. Minneapolis traffic is heavy but they have the highway infrastructure to deal with it effectively

But traffic was not my main point. My point was that we moved here when the population was half of what it is now and at that time I was not as enthusiastic as some about growth which was measured by the number of new stores etc. So my implicit message to GG is watch what you wish for. Also consider that while TV population is 120,000 the community around it has also greatly expanded so that you have substantially more than 120,000 people using the roads in and around TV not to mention the stores, restaurants public squares, etc.

Naturally I accept these facts all I am dong is point them out or lamenting about the good old days back in 2006
