theatre went in and highway being built ... good or bad?

[Jason Schmidt]

we are on the outskirts of houston and only a few minutes away from another small town. a large theatre went up a few blocks from us, and a toll road is being built through where we are at to where the small town is.

is this a good or bad thing for appreciation? I would assume a good thing, since it gives people easier access to the inner city, but would love to hear from a seasoned veteran on this!
