The vast majority of roads in cities are public property, not private. You’re making a disingenuous argument using your small town as an example.

Maybe govt owning transport infrastructure is not working or is not affordable. We grow up with what is around us, and that is what we know.

The Walmart parking lot is private and not paid by my taxes. There are other solutions, and some lead to more private property with allowances for public use.

If a coffee shop wants parking, maybe they should have their own parking spots rather than relying on govt to pave and maintain the spots on the street.
