@jay_peper @timrichards The fact that we don’t talk about the price we pay for streets — and the politicians don’t even know either — is not by accident

The normalisation of “free roads” is by design

Everything those people complain about free health care, originally applied to the road network. It was as recently as the 1910s that roads in towns did not join up, and you’d need a train to get across the country. “Normal” changed.
