The state is not hugely efficient, but when it comes to these things, it's largely construction unions and the not-overtly-but-kinda-corrupt construction firms etc.. Doing any city work costs gazillions unfortunately.
But some forms of public transit (subways, maybe not buses) are as priceless as the highway system.
- pteredactyl 8y agoI don't think it'd make much a difference. But I didn't say take away all money from the state... Funny how that's the knee-jerk these days. From my experience Roads and subways are not being adequately maintained. At least in the big cities. But I do know every few years we pass a multi-billion dollar referendum for the BART that goes to... mostly pensions.
