Smile RE: U.S. Population surpasses 300 million

How has population growth affected you and where you live?

The biggest concern is the infrastructure of our town/cities in Florida are not developed or improved to take the growth. Look at the areas that are overpopulated, the housing, roads, hospitals, public transportation; etc are not apart with the populace.

Another factor is our longevity, average life span and live expectancy in the United States have grown dramatically in this century, from about 47 years in 1900 to about 75 years in 1990. This advance is mostly due to improvements in sanitation, the discovery of antibiotics, and medical care. Now, as scientists make headway against chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, some think it can be extended even further. This drives the medical and insurance cost to the roof.
