What about people with no children paying for schools? People without boats
paying for public boat ramps? Paying for government to insure people who live
of flood plains or barrier island? People who don't care for music paying for
summer concerts on the town common?

There's always someone who isn't going to like having their tax dollars spent
on something. It is effective robbery for them, even if there is a public
good in it somewhere.

Or do you want the EMTs to wait for the next tram,and then walk the rest of
the way to your home when you are in urgent need of medical care?
(carrying all their kit,what little they can.)

I don't think there is any shortage of roads in the US. Perhaps ones with
too many potholes, but ones that can be driven for public service if needed.
