I would imagine that as much as anything, the "planners" and mini-power-brokers in these townships that become suburbs are as motivated by greed as anyone else. Everyone's on the take. If it's not just an out an out bribe from a dago builder or trash hauler, it's the lure of the high revenue tax base that seduces these fcks into turning one meadow and cornfield after another into treeless subdivisions and traffic jams.
