For example, younger families would have more children than senior residents , therefore requiring more schools, classrooms, and buses.
..... A lot of factors would have to be analyzed to determine the optimal quality of life and the most efficient use of taxes. Growth for growth's sake might NOT be optimal.
And who is it that is paying to build those brand spankin' new schools, that will able to handle more than DOUBLE the # of students, right off 470?

Let's see, I knew it yesterday...
