Why does Oakland County, one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, still have nearly 800 miles of unpaved gravel roads?
Oakland County is one of the wealthiest counties in the nation based on per capita income. This is unrelated to road funding. In fact, Michigan has been in the bottom 10 states in the nation in per capita state and local road funding since at least 1964. That means we earn more, on average, than most people in most other parts of the country, but we spend less on roads, on average, than most people in most parts of the country.
