If it is true it is going to make that area densely populated and very very busy. I cannot imagine that the roads are big enough to handle the volume of traffic this development could cause.
I see it this way.......any open land can and probably will be developed. Which is worse?.......residential or commercial development. Take your pick. This is the one and only reason hubby and I would never purchase any home with adjacent vacant land. We do not believe what anyone says about future development. This is why we purchased pre-owned in an already developed neighborhood.

As for the increased traffic.....infrastructure needs to keep up with the increase in population. I expect the developers to improve the infrastructure to accommodate the increase in traffic.
