Paved roads distinguish modern civilization from third world hellholes. Such places have high rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from breathing clouds of filth kicked up by roadways 24/7. In rural parts of asia and africa you develop a cough after a while even if you don’t smoke.

B-b-but roads cost money! There are former state, city and county retirees at home waiting by the mailbox for their pension checks, don't you know! Have you no heart?!?

some of the more expensive land/old estates/horse farms etc in some states in northeast are dirt and gravel roads. they keep them that way so there is less traffic from all the congested paved roads of commuters. they are the ones that wash out after rains or snow and thaw.
