> Drive from New Mexico, through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama to Florida sometime and compare the roads and bridges.

TBF it's much easier to maintain infrastructure in a mild climate.

Sorry, I should have been more clear: my point was to compare and contrast between the roads and bridges of those states.

There's significant quality differences between them that are noticable as soon as you drive across the state line.

I've done the drive many times, and it's always stood out to me.
