2020-01-20 23:04:16 UTC  

private roads

2020-01-20 23:04:32 UTC  

Yeah the city roads are all private

2020-01-20 23:04:33 UTC  

WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS

2020-01-20 23:04:38 UTC  

All your highways are private

2020-01-20 23:04:39 UTC  

For sure

2020-01-20 23:04:40 UTC  

Lol

2020-01-20 23:04:42 UTC  

YEah

2020-01-20 23:04:45 UTC  

why not

2020-01-20 23:04:59 UTC  

You gonna pay the million per mile to pave it?

2020-01-20 23:05:05 UTC  

You must have a lot of money good sir

2020-01-20 23:05:32 UTC  

And when you have to throw your poop out the window cause there is no sewer

2020-01-20 23:05:37 UTC  

We can say thank you to no taxes

2020-01-20 23:05:39 UTC  

so if government didnt build roads you're saying we'd all just stop having roads?

2020-01-20 23:05:44 UTC  

Yes

2020-01-20 23:05:48 UTC  

Pretty much

2020-01-20 23:05:53 UTC  

They would be trails

2020-01-20 23:05:56 UTC  

Okay boomer

2020-01-20 23:05:59 UTC  

But no one would maintain them

2020-01-20 23:06:12 UTC  

Do you think road fairies exist who do work for free?

2020-01-20 23:06:41 UTC  

I literally budget and contract people to build roads as part of my job. Try me.

2020-01-20 23:07:57 UTC  

most communities aren't organized or together enough to take care of such things

2020-01-20 23:08:09 UTC  

No they aren't. Most don't have the money either

2020-01-20 23:08:16 UTC  

and those with more money who could contribute to such things wouldn't really have much incentive to give

2020-01-20 23:08:22 UTC  

And no one wants to pay more but everyone wants more

2020-01-20 23:08:33 UTC  

there would also be little regulation and a lot that can be taken advantage of

2020-01-20 23:08:36 UTC  

price wise

2020-01-20 23:08:58 UTC  

Why build a private road so everyone can use it? I mean it's in the name 'public' or 'private'

2020-01-20 23:09:15 UTC  

And how would you go about building a road on land that isn't yours?

2020-01-20 23:09:34 UTC  

Who is going to enforce this since there's no taxes and as such no police

2020-01-20 23:09:44 UTC  

then there is the issue of highways and such etc

2020-01-20 23:10:09 UTC  

large public works projects

2020-01-20 23:10:22 UTC  

Exactly. Is everyone going to build a private road to one place? Like how is that going to result in any organized community planning?

2020-01-20 23:10:27 UTC  

maintenance etc

2020-01-20 23:10:46 UTC  

A road grader costs 250k

2020-01-20 23:11:02 UTC  

One.

2020-01-20 23:11:07 UTC  

And they last four years tops

2020-01-20 23:11:11 UTC  

like cross over from a possibly well organized town into a not organized town and oops buddy you're catchin yourself in about 10+ more pot holes

2020-01-20 23:11:28 UTC  

no consistency is an issue

2020-01-20 23:11:42 UTC  

I have a community that is ripping up their paved roads to dirt cause pavement is too expensive

2020-01-20 23:11:49 UTC  

But gravel is expensive too
