Growth not always positive

Another study has arisen saying that Murrysville should grow.

Growth, for some reason, is worshiped by elected officials. If all growth and development in Murrysville were to cease, what would happen•

If growth were to continue, we know that result: congestion and another Monroeville. Growth is too often mixed with change that allows unattractive situations to exist while new is constructed. Change is usually good, but growth by comparison can be dangerous. This is a rural community that should not be forced to accommodate grand shopping malls just to please a few officials that see growth as the answer to everything.
