Book of the Week: “The Big Dig” isn’t actually a book; it’s a nine-part documentary podcast by GBH in Boston about one of the most ambitious—and vexed—public works projects in U.S. history. In the end, this tunnels-and-bridge project transformed Boston’s downtown, but few recognize its value today because of the Big Dig’s runaway costs. The podcast explains all. https://www.atlantaurbanist.com/book/the-big-dig/ #publicworks

“End socialism for private car storage”: How should we pay for street maintenance? An economist offers seven rules that could be summarized as two principles. First, let those who cause the costs bear them. Second, don’t neglect maintenance. Patching streets is a lot cheaper than rebuilding them. https://cityobservatory.org/how-should-portland-pay-for-streets-2026/ #publicworks #localgov

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
The desirable things which the individuals of a people can not do, or can not well do, for themselves, fall into two classes: those which have relation to wrongs, and those which have not. Each of these branch off into an infinite variety of subdivisions. The first — that in relation to wrongs — embraces all crimes, misdemeanors, and non-performance of contracts. The other embraces all which, in its nature, and without wrong, requires combined action, as public roads and highways, public schools, charities, pauperism, orphanage, estates of the deceased, and the machinery of government itself.
From this it appears that if all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
