"But by providing car infrastructure, government enables economic development!"

"Yeah, that goes for train infrastructure too, you know."

Over here, government still provides the roads, but pulled back sharply on providing parking infrastructure. That's privatized. Good luck finding anything nearby for less than €20 per day.
