Comment on Road crews carry the world on their shoulders. They just aren't given enough to do what needs doing.

The roads are bad because sprawling road (read: car) infrastructure is unsustainable and bankrupts cities. What we need is economically sustainable micromobility and public transit infrastructure.

Building roads is only sexy every twenty years or so. Maintaining roads has never been sexy, to my knowledge.
Moving away from roads and cars almost entirely? I dunno how we get political will for that.

Well I can’t say building or maintaining roads gets me sexually aroused, but why is maintaining roads not “sexy”?

Politicians don’t campaign on maintainance of infrastructure, so it’s not sexy.
