I used to complain about this sort of thing until I got into the business. Just got back from a meeting where the city is improving a section of roadway. The problem? The old roadway was built outside the purchased right-of-way.
The existing road is not breaking any laws. Because of its age it's considered a public road, it just goes over private property. So to make any improvements the city now has to purchase that property.

The transparency of this is refreshing.
