  I've driven cross country a bunch of times. I'd give the roads a lot better than a D. I have to wonder if this institute is biased in some way.

  That’s like your broker saying your investment strategy is D- because you don’t have enough money in his firms managed funds. The D- is a bogus rating meant to increase spending, not improve value. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2011/12/12/best-of-blog-asce-and-the-infrastructure-cult.html https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2011/12/12/best-of-blog-... https://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/03/20/is-the-asce-failing-to-tell-america-to-spend-wisely-on-infrastructure/ https://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/03/20/is-the-asce-failing-t...

    One of your sources is a decade older than the link, and the other is quoting a guy critiquing their methodology but "Marohn said he could be convinced that more spending is justified, but not before he sees a smarter analysis based on the return communities get on their investment." You probably could find better ones without much effort, as I also didnt use a ton to find mine in the first place - I was just referring to a document that was pulled up when the bridge collapsed in my home town. If you want to quibble about specifics sure, but that's different than the parent's "I dont know what the conversation is about"
