The cement ribbons absolutely help keep the asphalt together. I used to live in a town that had a lot of road with no curbing and the asphalt starts to break away at the edges. In this climate, with plants growing 11 months out of the the year versus 3 months, this could be an issue and will be in future. I have no problem with people making money. There would be no businesses without profit and the products we want would not exist without it. There are a great many issues south of 44 that do not attract me to buy there but from what I have heard, the bonds are sky high. Admittedly, I have not done the math, but a lot of unbuildable land means higher bonds I assume.
