it is NEVER ok to tell any human to move away if they are dis satisfied with a current ongoing situation .
It remains a viable option. People can fix the problem, tolerate the problem, or trade it in for a different problem. This problem is well-documented, and has existed for decades without any kind of permanent solution. Time and money spent arguing about the problem does nothing to solve the actual problem.
For now, it's something I can tolerate. Sure, I haven't lived here very long (by local standards), and I don't want to move, but if I survive the rat lungworm/geothermal plant/volcanic eruption/climate change/lack of local employment/etc, someday I might want to take ambulance rides, and if those aren't available due to the lack of pavement, I will be forced to move somewhere that supports my needs.
In this case, the suggestion "well you'd better move then" is hyperbolic, with an implicit ("or figure out how to fix the problem").
$500.00 sent to Road G in voluntary dues,for G rd exclusively - switched to Road F
1. Blatant misappropriation of specially earmarked funds is an excellent way to have your non-profit status revoked;
2. If I had $500 to spent on road maintenance, I would hire someone to do the work and/or do it myself instead of donating it to an organization that lacks transparency and accountability. (If the FTR weren't collected at the pump, I wouldn't pay it either.)
