My issue in my area is that they keep building new housing but no new developments to the road infrastructure. Traveling anywhere is a chore.
It used to be a semi-rural area but people from neighboring metropolitan areas started moving in and traffic is horrendous. They’ve started bringing up property values as well. Which has been nice for me since I now have a decent chunk of equity, but my house should not be worth anywhere near what it supposedly is now.
I’ll be able to work from home exclusively soon and I cannot wait. My morning commute is 40 minutes for a 15 mile journey.
It’s becoming horrendous in many areas where I live. Once what was 5 acre lots that were once a part of 60+ acre farm lots are now becoming high density townhomes and condos.
The roads in the area were built for lightly populated rural life and struggle to keep up with not only this new traffic from residential, they have added an industrial park to the mix and the large commercial truck traffic on these 2 lane roads adds to the fun. Then there is still the farm traffic.
The areas are no longer the sleepy parts of town our parents grew up in. They are in the way of the roads but not much else. This has been 20+ years in the making. I just wish the roads were upgraded along the way to match all the new developments.
All the fields around me are being bought by KENWORTH so they can park their fucking trucks for months on end.
Fields that once grew things now do nothing but provide storage space for massive pollution machines.
I can’t use my telescope at home anymore because the goddamn glare from their fucking lights just bounces off the gravel and concrete and makes light pollution worse than the entire city a few miles down the road. When the clouds are low I can walk around outside in the dead of night and read large print books, because the reflected light shining off the clouds.
