    When it comes to infrastructure, I don’t particularly mind the government contracting out maintenance. What I mind is the infrastructure not being owned publicly.

      Hmm I have not personally seen that. Can you give me an example? The only thing I can think of is privately owned septic systems but I don’t think you meant that.

        My sewer system is, thankfully, still owned by the municipality, and I pay my bills to them directly.

        They sold off the water system to a French multi-national named Veolia for some reason, and I pay my bills to them now.
