Either, decision should be based on what the optimal approach should be in each circumstance
@B4GK74Y2wks2W
No, there is a massive shortfall of required infrastructure that still needs to be built
@B4BNS472wks2W
It's a zero sum game. Both should be prioritised.
@B4BN6QT2wks2W
Depends if the area that needs repair is what is going to be replaced
@B48WS3Z3wks3W
Yes, prioritise over new roads. But not at the expense of infrastructure that reduces car dependency
@B2QYN5X3mos3MO
Yes and No, the payment is some % amount and depending on the where and size. The time, yes.
@B2KYPZW3mos3MO
Government should balance both new investments with maintaining old investments.
@B2GPGNC3mos3MO
No, it is better to build new infrastructure to restart the life expectancy of said infrastructure than to extend an old one.
