Give it up, you've proved wrong and out-argued.
I see you are from Tennessee.
I have never been there, but from what I have read, it must resemble in large part the sort of American I would like to see preserved.
If you want to see what I am talking about - visit Hudson COunty or Bergen County New Jersey, or the Charlotte - College Triangle Area of North Carolina, or New York Coty or Baltimore or Boston.
Image a landscape full of nothing but the same monotonous developments, raod way after roadway choaked with an endless stream of constant cars so thick none of them can move.
That's what uncontrolled development has created and its on its way to Tennessee.
