Live Small: “How is our infrastructure doing?”

[“We are building roads today we will be unable to afford tomorrow.” June 1, 2011, G. Harrison]

Do we know whether we’re coming or going related to the current and future price tag on our lifestyle?

If we think extreme weather- and climate change-related expenses are climbing (extreme weather-related losses may outstrip GWP, Gross World Product, in our lifetimes), but feel safe and sound here in Deforest City, we should try to find real figures related to how much we have to pay for solid infrastructure in our city, our county, our province, our country.

And if we’re unable to keep up with ever-growing infrastructure costs, can we actually afford the lifestyle we’re building and enjoying?

Just the condition of roads in Deforest City make me have a few doubts.
