We would basically have to first see a massive change in governance trends before this could be doable.

I guess you can wait until the economic ponzi game ends for those places and people abandon it:

• infrastructure decay, no repairs
• cars break down more, good luck paying for repairs
• speed drops necessarily
• no chance that fuel is decreasing in price, whether it’s fossil juice or whatever the electricity is coming from

As people give in* and leave, this decay accelerates as the measly taxes cover even less of the required maintenance.

The politics people are avoiding now will be orders of magnitude worse when it comes time to do bailouts.
