[Vision2020] Unstable, Doomed Model Cannot Protect Our Quality of Life

[Tom Hansen]

I agree with you, Mr. Reynolds, to the extent that Mr. Holmquist's claim
concerning sustained growth within Moscow is independent from a potential
introduction of a major retail outlet to the area. 

I do have a question, however.  I will preface my question with a question.

How many Wal-Mart Supercenters are there in Boise (a city with a population
of 150,000+)?

My question:  Keeping in mind that there is a major Wal-Mart outlet in
Lewiston, just how much business does Wal-Mart anticipate generating from
the Moscow-Pullman community (combined population of approximately 50,000)
with TWO super centers no more than twelve miles apart?

Curiouser and curiouser . . .

The doomed descriptor is absolutely correct but the growth model cannot be 
"blamed" on an entity. The Growth model is a description of how our 
unbridled breeding is fast filling the earth.
