I doubt an engineer would build a bridge on the sand.

However, the state will build roads to the strangest places. If there are people living there, then they'll build roads to it.

They shouldn't base that on the wealth of those living there. They shouldn't discriminate against the rich, nor should they discriminate against the poor. Especially when they're talking about restoring a long-standing road; not building a new one.

Well, I don't know about in your neck of the woods but around here lots of people pay for private roads that only the owners use. Why should the taxpayer pay for a nice, paved road to someone's lake cottage?
