Again, you are missing the basic economics of building roadsWell Alaska isn't a good example at all because the majority of our rural folks don't use roads, they use airplanes.
However, it's actually cheaper to build a road in a rural area than an urban. The highway agency estimates a 2 lane undivided road carries a price tag of $2-3M per mile of new road in rural areas and $6M per mile in urban areas.
If we were to just as an example use Alaska property tax as a benchmark; the cheapest property tax in the state is roughly $650 a year on a 200kish home. (In anchorage it would be like $3.6k on the same home, mat su valley is $2.5k on the same home) That doesn't count muni gas taxes, sales taxes, etc. It's easily conceivable when adding up the resources that a small city could in fact afford to put in a road or bridge or power plant (and I know that for a fact because our bush towns do it often without much help from the state and typically zero help from the feds [who only maintain the 1.4k miles of hwy])
I don't think you know what you're talking about rightwinger
Yes, a road built in the boonies is cheaper to construct but it serves a relatively small number of cars
A road built in the city costs more but it will have tens of thousands more cars each day
