Yeah, because we had the amount of growth in the past and a quick visit is the same as living in the city and dealing with the frustration on a day-to-day basis...
I had a day-trip to Manhattan. Does that make me qualified to talk about their transportation system? Not a chance.

I agree 100%... but it's a little too late for that in the majority of cases.
We still need to fix the problems caused by the old decisions, and make "new road" decisions in an intelligent manner.
