I dunno, maybe take their conservative advice and violently overthrow your government?

Real talk, you'll have a hell of a time arguing for the upgrades, but even so, I only suggest switching to bricks when the road needs to be resurfaced anyway. The road works well enough as-is, this is just an improvement.

Oh, the road needs resurfacing, most of them here do. Decades of conservative government will do that
