Yes, that's the problem we need to stop. Many states allow some roads
to be built, maintained, and owned by private companies.

Yes, the term for them is "Toll Road".

Since they are private, they don't have to adhere to current standards.

Locally, we just managed to get rid of one of those pieces of crap and
get it under state owenership.

That's probably the best you can do, as every one has individual needs and
wants. I "wanted" to be able to own my airplane by myself. (I fly 125-160
hours/year). I enjoyed the knowledge that no one else was flying it; and
however I left it -- that's how it would be when I came back to it. I was
fortunate enough to be able to arrange things so I could afford it, in
retirement.

Any RV (except the -12) will easily best that. Buy a used one for
less than the Mooney.

Hey he's retired . What's the rush to get there? The RV 12 will get
way better miles per gallon

The builder planned to fly it himself

necessities and in areas it does anyway; it usually does it less
efficiently than I could myself.

Nope you wouldn't. You would have to provide for security, roadways, mails=

etc. Open your eyes and realize how much you take for granted.

Yes, and all those would be more efficient than the gov't provided
services we have today. For what I pay in state taxes I could hire a
full time armed guard and a fireman to stand watch on my house 24x7.

Realy Let's see $10 an hour might get semi-competent workers. hardly
union wages but we'll work with it. 24x7 = 8 workers x 2040 hours a
year x $ 10 / hour = $163,200 that's only if nobody gets sick or takes
holidays. Are you going to give any training or benifits to these
workers?

I guess you don't like anything unless you are paying more for it with
the gov't running it. Maybe they'll start making McD's for you. You
can get a $20 Big Mac and feel better about it because it certified by
the US gov't. Think about the line at DMV, that will be the line for
your Big Mac.

So you insist on shallow thinking. Try again. Think of building codes, bank
insurance, weather observation, search and rescue. The list goes on and on
and you do own taxes for those services. Your business would not exist
without them. In other words, WAKE UP.

You are so naive. The gov't run schools have indoctrinated you so well
into thinking only the US gov't can provide these services. They
probably make you think the UL and the Insurance Highway Safety is a
gov't organization as well. There are certainly some areas where the
gov't is the best organization to take care of things. It makes up
about 10% of our civilian gov't today. 90% of it is waste that could
be done better by private industry.
