First, local towns / cities should be responsible for the problems they created. Before approving the development, make sure the infa structure is in place. This not only means sewer and water, but roads. In the past, cities and towns have considered the roads to be a state problem, even thought the problem was of their own making. Look at how many towns the DOT put in a bypass, and the local government filled it up with retail to increase the tax base. Asheboro is a prime example. As for interstate quality roads being built is less populated parts of the state, these folks also pay highway taxes. They are sick and tired of subsidising the metro areas. The Charlotte area got light rail by asking the legislator to enact a local sales tax. Do the same for the roads that are needed.
