Agreed that the city planners and the developers took a little happy pill at some point and drastically overbuilt. However, (from what I’ve seen) there are a lot of Telecommuters, Sales Reps, etc in the combined cities. i.e. folks who can work pretty much anywhere within reason, who moved to the area to be able to get a lot of house for the money. Granted there is not a lot of direct employment in the area, but I don’t think it’s as traditionally tied anymore as it once was.
