oh jesse, you missed my point. i wasnt arguing the road thing, that is clearly the decision of the residents and their best interests. i have no opinion either way.
the issue i questioned was the tourists/parttimers that want sp to be like the US in every way. i think you answered me anyhow by stating the roads are for residents, for i was lead to believe complaining tourists was a major reason in arguing for the roads, as much as the residents' needs.
whether it is gated communities with silly US rules, leashed dogs, or mud, or the guy who thought the expats there were losers, or who knows, next a dress code, assholes are assholes.
