Agreed. For example, near Charlotte. My dad lives there and they are building like crazy due to hyper grow. Problem is, the roads, sewer and water infrastructure can't handle all the new people. 20 years ago what was a 10 minute trip to the store can now be over an hour, due to massive traffic jams.

The developers are (probably) paying off politicians to get permits, but there is no money (due to low taxes) for the necessary projects.

EDIT: roads are being built, but slowly.
