Share this with every Royse City neighbor you know. Local elections are decided by very few votes โ and an informed voter is the most powerful vote of all.
I would not support blanket moratoriums, but I would support slowing or conditioning approvals when roads, water, and public services are clearly not keeping pace. That means tying development approvals to measurable infrastructure readiness vs projections or assumptions.
