The economic incentives to build roads abound!
Every subdivision in Houston, Texas was built by private real estate developers. In each case, the streets were built by the property owner. In each case, under Texas law, the property association for the new subdivision was responsible for the upkeep of the streets, storm sewers, street signs, and street lights for one year. Then the city took over maintenance.
I've actually been involved in building streets in Friendswood, Texas. There is no magic or mystery to it. Streets get built where people want them to be, since they won't buy houses if they cannot get to their house by car. Obviously if the homeowner association can be responsible for the upkeep of the streets for one year, they can do the job for as many years as the street exists.
Free your mind!
A consummation devoutly to be wished. (Shakespeare)
