For whom? Maybe people who enjoy traffic, sprawl, housing price spikes with accompanying tax spikes, needing to build more schools and roads, visiting team sports fans, and people who come to North TX and want to make it more like the place they came from.

For people who have to move, they may face uprooting kids from their schools and friends, lunemployed or underemployed trailing spouses, a teenager having to work their way into a school sports program, with more to prove than the ones who were in the program last year, and the PITA that moving is.

Wooahhh! Hold on your horses. Nothing to be that dramatic. Relocations generally come with very nice packages. They are better than lay offs, isn't it?
