Not much will ever stand in the way of development.

Tampa grew very fast, and local government was very slow to react in regards to road expansion and schools. Now there are wicked traffic jams on major thoroughfares that are just now being widened, and a massive overcrowding problem with their schools.

If it all goes through the way it probably will, at least the local government didn't sit back and wait for the problem to get out of hand.

I would actually love to see it. Living in Knoxville it would really cut my travel time to the Smokies. Of course, it would cut everybody elses time, too, which would likely just increase traffic.
