Bentonville is now the 5th fastest growing city in the US and adding 10 people a day. And... there this 2045 projection

1 million by 2045.
Not a bad thing for SDC's back yard.
I will turn 82 in 2045, and I hope to be around to say, "I told you so."
There is no way this projection turns out to be true. There are too many people with big money in NWA to allow it.
It just doesn't make sense. You think someone with their 15 acre microranch is going to accept a 15 story apartment building next to them?
How are developers going to build on land where it is very difficult to build more densely without running afoul of environmental regulations, and especially not cheaply compared to slab-on-grade flatlands?
With the topography in NWA, how would that many people get transported around? Traffic is already insane. They're talking about working class people, so they have to get to work, get to stores, and get home.
It's not going to happen.
Anyone who speculates on housing based on this, probably "owns" a home on Indian Ridge.
