They don't bring their roads with them
In Jim Reed’s opinion piece, They don’t bring their roads with them, he discusses how Texas’s
population is growing at a rapid pace. Since our state has more than 1,000
people moving here daily, many people have started to notice the insane amount
of traffic that seems to increase by the minute. Because so many people are
coming to live here, figuring out how to manipulate the road ways to our
advantage is becoming increasingly difficult. Not only is it hard to build new
roads with so many people on the road, but the amount of money needed for
everything is a whole other issue. The roadways in Texas are very old and need
to be rebuilt to accommodate for the future. In this article, Reed is targeting
Texans as his audience. Reed wants to inform the reader on the future of their
state and what to expect in the new upcoming years with all the new residents. He
claims that with the amount of people coming in, dealing with building new
highways is going to be extremely difficult. Before it gets too late, our
communities need to work together in solving this problem. Funding towards
transportation need to largely increase and steps toward avoiding a bigger problem
in the future need to be taken. As a citizen of Texas, I have to agree with
Reed on this one. Every day I notice traffic getting worse and worse. As a San
Antonio native I can especially notice the difference when I go back to visit. In
order to solve this problem, our legislator needs to make a change quickly!
