Dover, Delaware

This town scares me. It's exploding. I'll drive down a country road, one that used to be lined with corn and wheat as far as the eye can see, and notice that all of that agriculture has been replaced by houses. Homes. Hundreds of them, all freshly-built and occupied. Every one looks the same, an SUV in the driveway and a tiny porch built onto the back.

There are hundreds of neighborhoods like that. They're springing up like weeds all around this once-tiny town. People must be flocking to this place, but I cannot imagine why. The population is increasing, but there are no signs of growth anywhere else. No retail expansion. No capacity planning. They just finished rennovating the high school... but in two more years, they are going to need to build two more. It really is ridiculous.
