it would bankrupt the county to take over maintenance of the private subdivision roads
Yes and no. Remember who "funds" the County -- if all these "private" roads were upgraded to full-spec pavement, the taxpayers would go bankrupt, thereby destroying the economic base.
I suggest that every subdivision be forced to create a LID for road maintenance -- but leave it up to the subdivisions to define their desired level of "road". Many people (myself included) do not want, nor can they afford, full pavement.
