It would be nice to provide some assumptions about what is expected. (like how state efforts to reduce gas vehicles might impact planning decisions as we look that far ahead.)

Is there any modeling of the expected demographics related to the additional population expected? If they are mostly in their 50's +, I would consider different concepts than if it will be more uniform or maybe younger folks with kids/soon to have kids.

The only thing that seems certain is that by 2045 the baby boomer wave will be subsided. The big question in my mind is how is Social Security, Medicare(caid), and pensions going to be funded while we wait for that bulge to go away. Whatever happens, the outcomes around that funding will impact everyone in the system.

The more the expected situation can be laid out the more useful the projections of what needs to be done. Without that information, sounds like it will just be a wish list of things people want NOW placed twenty years in the future.
