Rob Christensen gets it right on the anti-growthers in Cary.
If the Cary Town Council limits growth, that won’t stop the economic engine of the Research Triangle Park. It would just push more of the development into Apex, Holly Springs and Clayton — which means more cars traveling farther in their daily commute to RTP.
Which reminds me, people on the left and in the press are now explicitly saying they really think the alternative to “smart growth” is “dumb growth.” We’ve used the term before to question how governments can have better infrastructure by pushing the tax base into other areas.
