I get that, but the very thing that makes it so easily disposed of is the thing
that makes it unsuitable for heavy use. Highways need to have a degree of
permanance if we are to run 18 wheelers over them. Having water soluable roads
in a semi-tropical environment is madness. What about the cost to the citizens
if they have to replace the roads on two instead of ten year cycles?
All it would take is a few years of overcommittment to spending and
underestimated receipts and the roads could be gone, or at least impassible.
It's a feel good solution to those that don't have to drive on the roads or pay
for them.
Sorry, but it's a case where the environmental whackos have, once again, pushed
their agenda through over common sense solutions that have been proven to work.
