Towns are sparks of light.   

Roads to Cities bloat and become oppressive.   

Roads to towns are slow for a moment but quickly return to freedom.   

Roads (streets) in Cities are torturously endless going to and returning from a destination on which the frenzied motorists lunge and parry at each other.   

Roads (streets) in a town present interesting snapshots of the simple but important lives of its citizens who may on occasion wave at you as you pass.   

Roads into and in cities are always in a state of disrepair and repairing.   

Roads into a town may be repaired in a reasonable amount of time and remain in good repair for years.   

Why do we build and repair roads into cities when all they are going to do is fill them and wear them out?   

Why do we allow our secondary roads to and through the beautiful part of our land to languish?   

One of the amazing phenomena of road construction is that we build multi-lane roads into a city until we must build a multi-lane by-pass to avoid the city.   

Why?   

If we did not build multi-lane roads, growth would not be so concentrated reducing the amount of traffic on a given stretch of road and thereby reducing the frequency and cost of repair.   

That would free up funds to keep the secondary roads to towns and the roads in those towns in good repair.
