People living along roads that get “improvements” see their property tax go up to cover the expense, but the people who actually use the damn things don’t have to spend a dime. It’s a no brainer that people choose to live in tax subsidy zones where everything is shiny and new and they can just use the new highway to commute to work anyway.

Meanwhile it’s an unavoidable tragedy when people inevitably get struck and killed by cars since we’ve taken away everything that makes being a human person with two legs worthwhile and given it to cars instead.
