How much subsidies do public roads get?
Are they profitable?
- HillaryBriss 10y ago"Transportation officials have identified about $57 billion in repairs needed for state roads in the coming decade ..." https://calmatters.org/articles/long-neglected-road-maintenance-is-now-urgent-and-expensive/ https://calmatters.org/articles/long-neglected-road-maintena... But, though the dollar amounts are similar, this comparison is not direct, because the HSR would not cover anywhere near as many miles as all California state roads.
- spinlock 10y agoI would put the difference at military spending vs. everything else. The highway system was funded so that troops could be deployed quickly in the case we were attacked. You don't get that from HSR.
