Any other map nerds in the LR?

Are there any models that don't conclude there's gonna be a hell of a lot of people and no place to put them?

Developers will simply continue to encroach on swamp lands.

We're in the process of running the buildout analysis for Hillsborough County. The speculation is that there isn't enough vacant land within the urban service area to accommodate growth by 2045 (2+ million people). We're looking at redevelopment and intensification.

I am excited to learn of your work!

To chirp in on your project I'll say population forecasts are not handed down on a stone tablet they are trend based analysis with a fair amount of year to year wiggle. Paradoxically as a land plan fills up residential growth will slow and eventually the projections will respond to the trend and drop in a self-fulfilling kind of way. More importantly on the supply side I suspect there is plenty of numerical capacity should areas redevelop up to high densities as planned. For a local government it's just a matter of biting the bullet by limiting urban expansion and forcing the market toward the planning goals. In other words, the plan should drive the numbers as opposed to the numbers driving the plan.

Rant over. Good luck.

What see is the great Central Florida Faultline going up the center of the state and the great Lake City Mountain Range. That fault will rupture and bury us all.

Should be more concerned with the rapture than the rupture.
