To: Dog Gone; Dane
The Interstate Highway System would not be built in this day and age. All of the NIMBY's and enviro's would tie it up in legal challenges.
But I still can not figure out how Hawaii got Interstates and Alaska did not.
Dane, this is one of the few things that we agree on. Texas must fix its Interstates. The dims want to bust it up into "local control boards" Perry, while not the sharpest tool in the shed, promotes a centralized private plan. The foreign investors risk their capital. As opposed to politicians squandering taxpayer monies. Reference the Big Dig.

Such investment means pursuit of profit. Or control. Or both.

But I still can not figure out how Hawaii got Interstates and Alaska did not.I've read that certain roads in Alaska and Puerto Rico have interstate designations.
