The Road To Sprawlville Encircles The US Southeast
We detour off the Internet superhighway and America's ever-expanding Interstate system in this the 58th chapter of our ongoing series "The Road to Sprawlville" to follow the Washington Post's jaw-dropping account of a multi-state planning and spending FUBAR.
The online title of the Post piece is Urban sprawl could devour Southeast region by 2060, research say.
Little wonder, as Atlanta has been the poster city for failed planning for years;
one website follows Atlanta's repetitive failures.
Even sportswriters have spotted the Atlanta region's destructive sprawl.
In fact, Atlanta sprawl helped a destructive, fatal freak tornado strike the city, experts say.

bit of a misnomer in the article: the title is more appropriately SUB-urban sprawl.
