@Liberty4Masses Yes I do. For one single man I agree. I never claimed that every remote village and every house needed a road attached to it. The point is we have homes and towns that are plenty big to warrant a legitimate need for a road, beyond just one man, yet it has no road. A clear demonstration that even is something is needed, critical, and life threatening to an entire large community they STILL will be incapable of properly organizing to the level of being able to build a national scale highway connection.
The argument is NOT "oh some remote villages will be without roads" the argument is that we can see that even when desperately needed people STILL will be incapable of building the roads. It disproves your assertion that if there is a need someone will voluntarily build it. They wont, even when the need is real, we have seen that.
@Liberty4Masses Well thats easy, it is the same answer we would use to ask ourselves when, exactly, is it justified for a government to invest money in a project, any project, vs leaving it to the individuals.
The answer to that is a simple one. Any time the project has an ROI for the **entire** populace that is higher than cost of said venture. So if the question becomes "do we build a road to some remote town" the government answers that question by considering the cost of the road and then the amount of money the economy would benefit from having people from those town have access to the rest of the world.
If there are enough people that the costs would be regained and then some by the tax payers as a whole, then that is the point when the road becomes justified.
@freemo you’re not getting the point then. You agree it would be silly for 1 person. What about 2? 10? What’s *your* number for the proper amount of people in a remote town before there absolutely must be a road?
