Since I used to work with a Realtor in the DC area who specialized in dealing with new homes builders and developers, I know all about marketing studies. Unfortunately, the way most areas are set up. the development gets to come in first before the infrastructure can catch up. Sometimes the infrastructure never does catch up. If you think that the Walmart, KMart, Sears, et al, high level executives care that you have to sit in traffic an extra 15 or 20 minutes getting around town cause of their "Big Box", I have a bridge to sell you. Or would you prefer some swamp land in Florida?? <:-)

<< nobody gives the Big Box people any credence for their studies of the area? It's always assumed that they want to put in a store that nobody will be able to get in and out of.>> When the second Super WalMart opened here it was on a two lane road. Since then it has become a 6 lane road because after WalMart opened a Tractor Supply, a strip mall, a hotel, 6 restaurants plus an apartment complex then opened in the area. A bank and a gas station plus two other buildings are being built in the area.
