Luckily I don't think that will happen. I like the fact that it's quiet and you see few people, if any, walking around, arguing about parking spaces, or crowding up the buses. People move to the surburbs to get away from the noise, the crowds and the confusion. Its the most annoying thing: if what you are trying to escape finds you anyway.

It seems almost every week, members of various neighborhoods speak out in arms against condos, stadiums, and tall buildings that can turn a small unknown neighborhood into a mini midtown. Even in Manhattan do people protest the building of sky rises. Its just interesting to see how different communities take (further) urbanization.
