You're leaving out the time variable. While it's true that tearing out
an entire backroad in a minimal amount of time would require such an
investment, it's not necessarily true if you simply allow the regional
domains the road crosses to do whatever they want with that region of
the road. Perhaps an equivalent amount of money/effort would be spent
when summed over all the little efforts, over the entire time (decades?
centuries?). Perhaps not. In any case, the larger governmental bodies
could simply relinquish their claims and let it go "fallow", as it were.
