Possibly, but we cite as fact that imports stunt community growth. I don't think that has ever been proven in a way that cuts across cultures, geographies or the quality of the data being imported. People usually point to the TIGER import in the US. I don't think we can purely blame an import, there is much more going on than simply there was data already there.
I'd love to see a broader, academically sound study of this.
