[h=2]So many cars! So much has changed![/h]
ok I'm no public finance wizard......but I don't get it.
how could they ( or we) afford to build such great roads back in the day & have so little traffic (read tax base) to pay for it?
where as, we, and our incredibly large tax base, (taxed heavily on everything but the air we breathe)
Live with roads that stink and are getting worse.
Realitivly speaking, Is the cost of maintenance & improvements that much more than new construction?
( we are getting hit with a new $60.00 a year "road tax", which got me thinking about it)
