Heres a pro tip, any development will be sold off to wealthy chinese and indian investors who exist in the 10s of millions due to their sheer population size, literally none of the post 1965 development in the USA has gone to anything besides apartment buildings for wealthy chinese and indians to park their money at the expense of the tax payer in the USA.
