Ever wonder why there is a constant and frequent reconstruction of perfectly good concrete sidewalk and asphalt roadways around the city? Such reconstruction is rarely an upgrade, I.e. replacing non-absorbent/ porous material with one that is, or a pavement that is aesthetically elevating. Instead, they are typically replaced with another set of the same perfectly good concrete sidewalk and asphalt roadways.
Why is that?
Could it be that there are pre-approved budgets that needed to be spent? Could it be that these budget were part of an earmark that was never necessary in the first place? Could it be that such labour and expense is necessary to keep the folks in the construction employed? Who benefits from such practice? People, society, environment?
Could it be, could it be?
Perhaps all is with good intention.
Perhaps not.
