Yes, and I have to have a truck because if I drove a normal car it would be int eh shop every week due to all the damage the government roads would cause to the suspension

The "who will build the roads" trope is common statement for people that support government largess, is ironically poor example of "good government" and completely ignores reality that in most area's the government does a VERY VERY VERY poor job at road maintenance while charging the citizens an obscene amount of money for that poor service.

If a private home owner assocation paid the amount of money most governments do per mile of private road they would be in the civil courts suing that contractor.

BTW many communities in the US do have private roads in them, maintained by the owners of the homes in those communities
