Are any of the US citizens here concerned about the rapid population growth and urban sprawl that is happening in that country?

The US Census department estimates that the population is growing at 2.8 million a year and shows no sign of abaiting. Land is being chewed up at the rate of 9 sq miles every DAY.

Steve lives in Las Vegas which is estimated to grow from 2 million citizens to 4 million by 2025 tarmacing over countless acres of desert habitat and he seems happy with that because he can get a good price on his house when he moved a few years ago.

A look on Google Earth seems to show nothing but constant urban sprawl right the way down the eastern seaboard with eastern Massachussets looking like nothing more than a continuous suburb.

I am in Britain so I was wondering if anyone had the mood gauged over there.
