"Sitting on the dock of the Bay,"** watching the dock rot away.
Looking at the sunset from the mountain road closed due to washouts.
It is calming to be alone with nature, communing with the decaying splendor of once impressive infrastructure.
It would be amazing if we could all agree to maintain and add to our impressive infrastructure.
If you are tired of yelling at your congressperson about health care, consider asking your congressperson to pass a bill fixing, improving and constructing the infrastructure we need to conquer the challenges of the twenty first century.
Both country roads and city trains are falling into disrepair. LET US FIX OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.
Our young people need recreational facilities. LET US BUILD YOUTH CENTERS OF ARTS AND SPORTS.
Many government buildings have problems with rats. LET US FIX AND BUILD PUBLIC BUILDINGS WE CAN BRAG ABOUT.
Too many of our citizens sleep in the streets. LET US BUILD WELL DESIGNED HOUSING FOR OUR SICK AND OUR POOR.
Some of our infrastructure building should be over the top impressive. No one mentions normal railway stations, but Grand Central Station does not even need a city designation.
The Sydney Opera House is a great example of a building setting the tone for an entire country.
INVESTING IN OURSELVES IS A GOOD INVESTMENT.
