Those commutes into the city can take as long as three hours. In Forsyth County, Ga., new schools and subdivisions are dotting the landscape as growth pushes north of Atlanta. The county led the state with 123 percent growth in the past decade. I wish the growing would stop before it gets bad. Frederick County, Md., where Urbana is located, grew 30 percent, faster than Baltimore County and two other Maryland counties closer to Washington.
People keep moving into the communities farther away from Denver.
Douglas County, to the south, grew 191 percent. Although Loveland, Colo., north of Denver, is not really thought to be a Denver suburb, resident Marie Renner pointed to signs that more people are willing to make the one-hour drive south every day. Loveland's population swelled by 36 percent. There's lots of sprawl. And then there's the traffic.
