The Karns community is sick and tired of all these new housing developments. We do not have the infrastructure to support the amount of houses and apartments that are being built with reckless abandon. Natural flood plains are being filled in causing Beaver Creek to have nowhere to flood to when we have torrential rains causing roads like Harrell, Beaver Ridge, Byington Solway, and West Emory to flood substantially. Our roads cannot handle the amount of traffic driving on them everyday and our traffic lights and patterns cannot support this volume either. I cannot turn left out of my father's neighborhood onto W Emory anymore and forget getting out of any business on Oak Ridge Highway at all without the help of a traffic light! Traffic backs up so badly in Karns that it has taken me as long as 45 minutes to make a 10 minute drive. Please stop this nonsensical housing. NO MORE HOUSATION WITHOUT PROPER REPRESENTATION! #1776
