Let The Private Roads Begin...

[powerchuter]

So you think that the vast amount of the populace is ready for private roads?

I am simply saying that focus should be maintained on things where something will happen instead of worrying about items that won't happen for a long time.

One should focus on obtainable goals, but, maintain the debate on things like road privatization, because every time it comes up someone learns about the concept who has never heard of it. Also, by fleshing out the subject, a system of road privatization can be sculpted that covers all the 'what if's'.

I've started a private road that leads from the street to the garage.  I pay for it, I maintain it, I keep it clean, and I plow it...it's for my use so I pay for it...

The neighbors on our street are all going to get together and buy our street from the town...  Then we'll put all the care and maintenance out for bid...and we'll get a sweetheart of a deal on paving considering we'll all be "freshening up our personal "driveway streets" at the same time our main road is paved(the equipment is already there so the contractors can afford to give us a hell of a break!)...  Same with other care and maintenance also...  New businesses will start up to compete to provide these services to us and their competition will increase the quality and drive the prices down even further...

STB!

A 'working' example would go a long way towards expediting the concept.  What do you think, Chris?

I like it Lloyd I like it.

And in NH there are many private roads so people might be more open to it but these days... the fools idiots sheeple want the towns to plow their private roads.

And to think!  We can tout a net increase in miles of road due to including our driveways!

And if I pave my driveway my assessment will go up.....
