      Too many new buildings of homes, shopping centers, condos and since Obummer happened NC has gone down hill. But now that we have republican leaders, hopefully we'll see major improvements. They have neglected our roads where I live so badly it is horrible driving on them. They have been too busy giving our money to wars and illegals to take care of our state. We recently got new pavement over existing torn up road. And only in certain places. But at least it's a start.
