"Fix the damn roads" is one of the most out-of-touch slogans in #Michigan politics today and I wince every time I hear and see it.
I live in #Detroit and I cannot even get a damn bus to #Livonia because the City of Livonia was allowed, inexplicably under Michigan Law, to simply opt-out. 🤷♂️
@adamjcook Yeah. Every time I’m home from Oregon, I think: holy shit, Michigan has to be one of the most over-built states in terms of horizontal infrastructure in the country. It's astonishing to see the extensive road network and highways that crisscross the state, much of which is in disrepair. I don’t even think Portland has any significant stretch of 8 lane highways, but sure enough, Flint has a 10-laner. No wonder why they needed an emergency financial mamager, as did so many others.
