It IS a big problem, but shifting stuff around in a dense city is different from piling some dirt into a shape on the tundra.

- clarry 7y agoAnd yet the infrastructure cost of rural areas is regularly cited as a problem, and moving people into big dense cities is proposed as the solution.
- Turing_Machine 7y agoMost of the route is through extremely rugged mountainous terrain, not tundra, and developing a roadbed that can survive -70 F winters is a lot more involved than "piling dirt into a shape" I traveled it before was paved, and it was, and is, a true engineering marvel.
- jacobush 7y agoYes, I both unravelled my vast illiteracy on road engineering in general and understated a bit on purpose. My point was that there is not much existing infrastructure to take into account up there. Your point taken though.
