I had to post the whole article...wow
Tallrick,

Gives us your view....

TALLAHASSEE – Imagine a sea of pavement devoid of green space spreading contiguously from Fort Myers to West Palm Beach. A landscape of endless urban jungle cramming an extra 9 million people into subdivisions clustered from Tampa through Daytona Beach.

If farmers sell off their fields to make way for planned communities, all the food would have to come from other countrys. And we know how much other countrys love us. I don't have a clue where the water will come from. But the bright side is we would have to add alot nuclear plants to power all this and that would mean Jobs.

I must agree, we are in for a rude wild ride... This is all about money, but not for the best interest of the state residents....

By 2060 the "big one" will have hit a major urban area and the nonsense will be delayed. History always repeats itself and you can also look forward to a worldwide plague to cut back on the population or another major war to thin out the growth. Who knows if someone it working on a "super virus" right now, waiting to turn it loose on some insanely populated, but isolated place (like Florida) . One way or another this stupid plan to trash the state should fail like all others in the past. But it's nice to know that a major university predicts the same conditions I have been getting sick thinking about.

I agree.
Certainly at this point in time, the largest landholders in Florida are pulling back on their development rather than the opposite.
The growth patterns that the study used are in flux right now.
