just annex the whole county
Costa over at Population Statistic notes another article about sprawl in Tampa. This one points to New Tampa, and discussions about widening Bruce B. Downs. The article notes that wider roads do not relieve congestion. We’ve been increasing the capacity of roads here forever, yet your commute is longer than ever. But take a look at the bigger picture, and you find that part of the appeal of moving to Tampa is being negated. Many folks come here because of lower taxes, including a fairly low property tax. What they don’t realize is that they are paying more in transportation costs. My opinion echos Costa’s, and I’m not so eloquent, so go read about it over there.
