Gears Grinding, Hammers Hammering, Horns Honking

The Source reports on the building boom and the noise that comes with it on St. John:

"David Holzman, who owns Innovative Builders on St. John, said Monday he expects the construction boom to continue for the next 10 to 15 years. He predicted that "hundreds if not thousands" of houses will be built in the next few years."

Thousands more? I would like to know how many homes are on St. John already. Thousands more doesn't seem quite doable anywhere in the near term. It would put a severe strain on the island's infrastructure and natural resources.

We are already hearing from some that there are too many rental villas - what happens to the vacation market with a flood of thousands of more places to stay?
