Yet the population continues to demand more miles of roads than budgets could conceivably maintain. Framing this as a moral issue doesn't really make sense. If our goal is to fix potholes we can, but the bill for fixing all potholes would mean big changes to priorities and taxation. Whatever other factors may be involved it seems pretty clear that the US is going to be forced into a road diet at least in the short term.
