I'm not grasping what you mean by this sentence.... "Any locale that tries, artificially, to make itself more attractive than others will eventually suffer the pitfalls associated with that approach."
It means that by creating an environment that encourages too rapid growth you ultimately end up with what we are seeing; heavy traffic, poor state services, inadequate education funding, and eventually a crumbling infrastructure.
Just wait and see. This "cheap" place is already becoming more expensive. I spend $100 on toll roads for my monthly commuting. I have lived here since the 70's and it takes more than a bunch of stores and restaurants to have quality of life.
