In this segment, the speaker highlights a surge of new construction in Harrisburg, Cabarrus County, noting that the majority of available housing is newly built and increasingly expensive. He attributes rising prices to higher labor, material, and infrastructure costs, which in turn limit affordability for long‑time local families. The speaker warns that this dynamic is attracting out‑of‑state newcomers—particularly from California and New York—while displacing the children and grandchildren of native residents, and calls for a more balanced approach to development to preserve community continuity.
