If everyone quit bitching and started paying their road dues we could have some nicer roads.
If I were convinced that my road dues would be spent on roads (that I actually use), sure. History suggests that the "road dues" will be spent on lawsuits to decide who gets to control the money, or perhaps for road improvements that benefit "certain people" (not you).
No jobs? With an Internet connection you can route around the local economy.
Provided that you have the right skillset, and a remote employer.
In any case, I'm not convinced that "more roads for more cars to make more trips to town" is really the right answer ... but so long as we have cheap gas, everything will be made to fit the "more cars" solution.
the people who believe the rosy pictures painted by real estate agents and think they are moving to a suburbia that complain the loudest, and demand that ' we have to sue ' to get what they think they deserve.
Agree, but in my case, there was no real estate agent. I chose this life, the transition is just more difficult than anticipated, but I'm not giving up.
What I do want (again) is: some minimal infrastructure provided as a return on my investment, not "pay dues/taxes and hope for roads".
