- nsokolsky 2y agoThat figure includes every single government-owned street, AFAIK. Total infrastructure costs are higher but don't seem that much higher than in Germany?
- verall 2y agoTxDOT does not maintain local or county roads which are a massive portion of cost in sprawl.
- nsokolsky 2y agoOK so what % of the GDP goes towards roads in Texas vs Germany?
- jaccarmac 2y agoTo add specifics: Dallas does not cover road maintenance with its budget and must sell bonds to cover the $10b in "deferred maintenance". https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2024/04/a-voters-guide-to-the-2024-dallas-bond-package/ https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2024/04/a-voters-guide...
