It's usually not federal money that pays for this stuff though (at least directly).

The argument is it could or should be. It has in the past.

I must of missed the actual argument because I can't find where it was made other than complaining about a 3% allocation which is explained due to the large state & city budgets for this type of thing.

If you ever own a condo, you will realize that an extremely large number of people won’t even vote to fund the infrastructure that supports their bedroom.

Infrastructure is theoretically already popular but most would put it off for a few extra dollars.
