As far as growth in your community, do you think it will effect you & your families quality of life issues?

Question

Many Americans are complaining of high taxes, high traffic, overcrowded Schools, stores, and people in the business of building more homes, having the attitude that they need to make money. Many local Governments are allowing contractors to build over and above the densities of what is generally allowed by their local Comprehensive plans.
Many local citizens are blaming this over population in their area because of building codes, and what the local Governments are allowing to build in these areas. Many say my quality of life has gone down hill in the last few years because of so many people living in my community. This can be attributed to contractor greed, and local Governments are going around the will of existing residents who have said over and over, we don't want you to approve the incease in density which will result in additional housing in these planned developments.
What are your feelings on these facts, and are you experiencing the same problem in your community?

Answer 1

I agree with you. Greed is what is driving down our neighborhoods and communities. The people that give a 'care' cannot keep up with rebuilding the damage caused by the ones that do not give a 'care'. Developers make their money and pass some of it on to the City Council members and downhill from there. The neighborhoods are the ones left with people that don't care and won't help and wait on someone else to fix what they have destroyed - our schools, our parks, our streets, and houses everywhere. It seems the don't cares are winning out. Neighborhoods and gutters filled with litter and trash. Yards never cleaned or cut. Drug heads and loud music. What a shame.
