View From Lodi, CA: Sprawl: The Variable is Immigration
By Joe Guzzardi

Here’s a shocker about Lodi’s population culled from the U.S. Bureau of the Census recently released report, Annual Estimates for Incorporated Places, April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2004.

According to the data, during the period from July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004 Lodi added a mere 503 people as the city increased from 61,458 residents to 61, 961.

Similarly, Galtâ€â€

To look at a City like mexico city and the filth and corruption, overcrowding, pollution, and general nasty conditions, is to give the proponents of "High Density" housing, a name that is very fitting, highly dense, about the reasons for all the trouble involved with importing way too many people.

It is all being done for money. When the land is broken and we are overpopulated, it will be interesting to see people eating their bank accounts. The mindset that puts profits and thereby taxable monies, before practical choices in this economy called "capitalism"(subsidized all day with your money) is in fact a social disease. The proponents are like syphilis infected philanderers, they cannot stop doing it, and there is no one saavy, or strong enough, to hold their lusts in check.
We live in an economy that favors gluttony, at the expense of those who would be modest. cheers glenn

Our population growth is absolutely INSANE. THeres no other way to put it. We're adding 3 million people to the U.S. population every year, almost entirely because of recent immigrants and their endless offspring.

As for "urban sprawl" and the housing shortage/homeless crisis that hit California not so uncoincidentally at the exact same time as our runaway immigration, consider this: How long does it take somebody to get across our borders? Usually they can accomplish that within 24 hours. And how long does it take to build a home for that person? Usually it can take 6 months to a year.

Whats wrong with this picture?
