Development Boom In Southeast Florida Megalopolis
New York Times, April 21, 1973

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miami, April 21 - After a half century of doing everything under the sun to advertise it's natural charm summed up in the C'mon Down promotion campaign, the state of Florida is rapidly approaching the moment when it may have to tell outsiders to "Go Away!".

The nation's newest megalopolis - the sunny 100 mile stretch from Miami to Palm Beach - is nearing a crisis condition in urban ills created by a development boom.

Air and water pollution levels are rising...
Water sources are drying up...
State and local governemtns are losing the fight to provide services to a population that is growing by 3,000 to 4,000 new residents a day...

Exodus from North
It was no simple coincidence that within one week Dade county experienced a typhoid outbreak, a contaminated water scare, power failures...

"The exodus from the collapsed cities of the North keeps complicating the picture" said Arthur Marshall at the Urban Studies Center.

The move to Florida has been fueled by a number of factors:

- National prosperity and mobility have enabled millions to seek a warmer climate
- Early retirement plans have put affordability within the reach of millions of working class families
- The deterioration of living conditions in the Northeast metropolitan areas and concern over crime, racial tensions, have given impetus to the migration.

The picture postcard view of sub tropical leisure and tranquility has been blown away by the sight and sound of jackhammers of construction.

Governor Askew "The state of Florida is going to continue to grow because it's a desirable place to live and we have to accept that reality, however we need to do everything we cann to assure growth takes place in an orderly fashion."

The frantic rush of retirees and investors in recent years to South Florida has filled in the gaps that once existed between the major resorts along 100 miles of coastline.  Now Disneyworld and the devaluation of the dollar have contributed to the stampede, adding millions of visitors to the crush, visitors who might have gone elsewhere to vacation. 

Population in the state has more than tripled in the last 25 years to nearly eight million people with Southeast Florida accounting for over one third of that total.  Projections push the population to nearly 10 million by the turn of the century, but no one believes this will materialize because the region simply cannot possibly support that kind of population growth.
