People could just buy EV SUVs and Pickup trucks so the degrading road infrastructure would be less of an issue.

Or they could order doordash once less a month and put that money towards the common good.

How does purchasing a biggy, heavier vehicle that damages the roads more quickly, fix our problems with degrading road infrastructure?

Big wheels roll over potholes better.

This is a very short sighted solution. We can’t just keep making bigger and bigger cars as infrastructure gets worse and worse.

Larger vehicles are more dangerous, less efficient, and damage roads more quickly
