@wclifton968gameplaystutorials 2 года назад
The main problem is how new infrastructure is funded which is from a mixture of mostly the state and federal government and a small amount from the town/city which promotes a car-centric spread out suburban environment which puts city services in a rural environment with rural tax incomes promoting the city growth ponzi scheme which expects near constant economic growth while making taxpayers foot the bill whenever growth tumbles and cities go into decline. If the USA didn't build a car-centric urban environment with city services in a rural style suburban landscape since the 1930s-1950s then America wouldn't need a US$1.2trillion infrastructure bailout plan that was caused by the same 2 political parties over 5 decades ago and in some cases even the same politicians...

@@fortnitegamer-yp4hd On the other hand, density allows for a far more efficient spread of health and transportation resources. And that's not considering the indirect benefits, like increased physical activity or reduced energy consumption per household that allows government to better manage community resources. In comparison with most of the western world, America is pretty extreme in terms of the density of our cities. LAs don't exist outside of North America.

Also encouraging women to have more children and grow the population. The more people you have in your country the more money is being spent. Also encouraging people to start businesses and supporting them. It’s just that simple. If I were president that’s what I would do.

Omg this is so true. Literally in my hometown, they paved a brand new road only to immediately rip it up because electrical work needed to be done. So now a year on, what once was a new road is now a horrible road as there’s all these uneven sections where the road was dug up so lines could be laid. And now cuz everyone’s complained, they’re just gonna tear everything up and repave the road again

I'm disappointed with Hyperloop's inclusion in the bill because even though it's a tiny part of the spending, it will now be used a talking point by politicians opposing all infrastructure spending.

This is simply due to America’s urban planning and design. Trains are to transport masses of people from one dense place to another with everything in walking distance, American cities simply lack this as they are composed of 90% or more suburban areas.

I think that EEUU infrastructure plan should have be included in a change of urbanism conceptuallity. The model of planning cities (especially on the 20th century) is deeeply ineficient, where large extentions of infraestructure are used for low productive activities. So I think this budget shouldn't have being destinated to mantain the actual model, but to make it a lot more economically and embirormentaly eficient . I use to see "Not just bikes" chanel where he explains very deeply how this works and compare this with the dutch way to plan cities.

One nice thing would be to bring back things that other countries do so modernizing vending machines. To be more on par with countries who took the concept and made it essentially everything. That could be fitted into it including warmed-up food or vending machines that give you food and all you gotta do is warm it up in a microwave that's built into the machine.

1.2 Trillion actually falls short of what is really needed. The American Society of Civil Engineers do an annual report card on condition of our infrastructure and costs to repair or replace. It was over 4 Trillion a decade ago. Current amount is a start, we can pass additional spending bills in future.
