That’s not necessarily so bad, but the privatization of roads is criminal.

There is a high-speed tollway in the Austin, TX area that opened to big publicity as a private/public deal. Now it has gone bankrupt in just a few years. However, these things keep being agreed to.

Toll roads fail because after they are paid off, the tax remains. Imagine after your last house paymemt, you still gots bills.

Scam.

Additional number of highway lanes fail because it creates incentive to build tall apartment buildings, clogging the new highway. Now instead of 4 clogged lanes you have 8.

Monopoly, you cannot win. The Government club, you ain’t in it.
