Put moratorium on Southside building

Looking at the options that the city and county politicians are offering us for a connecting roadway from Whiskey Road to Silver Bluff would be so laughable if it wasn't so pathetically stupid.

These politicians who probably don't even live in the area could care less about the ramifications of their past poor judgment and its impact of the Southside. But who cares as long as their feed troughs are filled so they can make downtown the All American city?

After the bypass is cut and the value of the south Silver Bluff area is recognized by commercial organizations due to increased traffic flow the South Silver Bluff area will look just like the Whiskey Road dump. It's time for a moratorium on all building until these politicians can demonstrate that they can handle the mental load.

Can't they see how they are destroying the beauty of Aiken? Where's our county council when you need them? Pass a moratorium on this unbridled growth now!
