What do you think when Your city Grows? (neighborhood, prices)

[DLHROCKS]

What do you think when you see that your city is growing?
Are you:
1) Happy and proud that people continue to move to your great city. Happy of what more people can bring (more resturants, museums, more opportunity for city to become global, etc.)
OR
2) Mad. More people contributes to more congestion. More people could increase prices, or competition for desirable things (seats for a game, jobs). The city could fall behind what it can offer as population grows quicker than city can handle.
OR
3) Don't really care either way.


This is mostly geared towards people in big cities.

I used to be happy. Now I am mad. I do not like seeing graphic t wearing Californians in my BBQ spot. Please find something decent and not annoying to wear. We are not rolling in Amsterdam. I do not like the traffic nor the ideology new comers bring into my neighborhood/town. Inflation is also not cool. Did I mention the graphic t's?

They probably moved here from somewhere else and now have moved there. Its like we're playing hot potato with undesirable hipsters. LOL

I always think positively. Especially when people move into the city, although I dont get too excited when Sacramento sprawls more and more.

I also like to think positive on the matter. More new and interesting people to meet, more stores to choose from, and more new entertainment to be had. The things in a city that were there before it grew, you know, those things that made a town unique, like the downtown square, or the old ma and pa diner will always still be there to remind you what still makes your town yours and not the corporate giants that are building it up.
