The growth isn't being managed well. Unless you're a developer, getting rich.
Speaking of the Gulf Coast of Florida, it's beyond out of control. A picture of, what used to be, one of my favorite places. Unchecked growth. And it went up instead of out.
They better dredge soon or that harbor will become a lake.
Florida seems to be doing fine with the growth. More money is being thrown around, more opportunities, and they're roads are trying so much better. I've noticed a huge difference in infrastructure improvements across the state in the last 10-15 years.

That is a bone of contention with the feds.

I'll give you that. They do a much better job of infrastructure there. But the growth is crazy along the Redneck Riviera.

Until just about 15 years ago, I-95 in Jacksonville still had a draw bridge over the St Johns. So all I-95 would come to a stop just because a guy wanted to go fishing. That place has come a long way.
Wonder if any of this growth will spill over into places like Marion, Williamsburg or Dillon Counties.....
Marion should be a candidate to get some spill over......

Other than Florence.. none of the others on this list surprise me in terms of population loss....even though Florence likely lost population because some people died and a few moved away after graduating from FMU . Sumter continues to be marginalized to some extent because of the "sins of its forefathers" and is bookended by Florence and Columbia. Most of the I-95 corridor in SC is a disappointment when compared to the states to the North and the South of us that share the roadway....

Wow.. not that's funny...the eastern seaboard comes to a halt because of Popeye.......
