And some people claim that Induced Traffic is a myth. Only an idiot
would believe that when the irrefutable proof is right here, staring
us in the face:

The 210 has also become a magnet for commercial and housing
development. Fontana, for instance, has created what it calls the
"Miracle Mile" along the new stretch of freeway, consisting of car
dealerships, big-box centers and other retail businesses.
When the last 210 extension reached Fontana in 2002, it brought with
it a development boom. The freeway suddenly made the city more
attractive to developers because it made the commute into L.A. County
much faster. In June, the U.S. Census Bureau ranked Fontana as the
nation's 21st-fastest-growing city, with its population rising to
170,099 in July 2006, a 3.4% jump from the previous year.
Fontana Mayor Mark Nuaimi makes no apologies if his city's rise makes
traffic worse for his neighbors farther west.
"I don't feel bad. It's traffic from the region. The region is
growing," Nuaimi said. "With the 210 being completed into our
community, it has made Fontana a viable community for people who work
in Pasadena, who work in Glendora. They can now live in Fontana and
readily commute."
