It goes far beyond just roads. You can only blow so much air into the balloon before it pops. It sounds like pessimistic talk but it's the way things are with Charlotte. Article after article about the growth, feature stories on the news, even the Defend Charlotte series (which you can watch here Defend Charlotte Home (http://www.defendcharlotte.com/home.htm - broken link) ).

There better be better reasons to move here than overcrowding.

I wonder why business are still moving their headoffices there. My DH was transferred to a new place in Charlotte or we'd happily have stayed put

Doom and gloom reporting in... In my personal opinion it's going to get much worse before it gets better. We can tout sales and closings - we can even give specific cases as we do here, but that doesn't really mean anything. When you combine so many economic indicators going in the wrong direction everywhere with the powder keg that is the pending tax bomb here, it's not pretty under the surface.

You can give me a haircut, a shave, and put me in a nice suit. Yet, I'm still the pot belly guy who smokes/drinks and eats like crap - I just look good right now. =)
