Tell that to the cities who see their infrastructure fall apart after 20 years and can't finance rebuilding it stronger and cheaper.

How little infrastructure works they have if they had to pay for it to be 1000x overbuilt?

there probably is a middle ground. Just because i disagree with the rather radical opinion that claims it's most efficient to just barely fulfill minimum requirement and that throw-away & buy-new should be considered for civil engineering doesn't automatically mean i favor the radical extreme opposite opinion.

I am just stating the very obvious problem.

I think ultimately the problem is that infra is an investment in future growth, but the decision makers aren't accountable on failure.
