    The US doesn’t really need more infrastructure. It needs to de-infrastructure. Fewer bridges, and roads. Create large national parks, where development is not allowed.

      I have some good news: those national parks were created over a century ago.

      The US doesn’t have a problem with having large tracts of undeveloped space.

        Would it make you feel better that the people running Arizona’s infrastructure are the worst shitheads I have ever dealt with in my career?

      L take. Especially in the western states where up to half of the states land is taken up by natl parks they have no governance over. Large tracts of land unable to be developed actually hurts making smaller more walkable neighborhoods, when you have to pack everyone in half the land the state should have.
