I'm not sure how accurate this analysis is, but the free market gives us another answer to the author's options. Why just not build the roads and let people do it when they want and can afford it, without stealing money from everyone and redistributing? Subsidising roads cost is one of the worst thing the government did to the economy and the environment. I'd much rather live in a world where people have less mobility and there is less pollution, more local products, less cars and less asphalt.
