Thank you for clarifying. I feel that going back to communities offers a much less easily corruptable support network. We probably would need something that would organise countrywide things like upkeep of highways, but having them as separate entities avoids handing over complete power to one entity.

There are great tools that blockchain technology is building to manage consensus and contract fulfillment that can actually make decentralized creation, ownership and maintenance of infrastructure possible. It won't be long before we have autonomous flying passenger drones though, which would rid the world of the need for most highways, roads, and bridges. I can't wait for that day, but maybe I'm being optimistic. There is a lot of money to be made on fossil fuels, asphalt, concrete, steel, and construction. And I don't think those corporations would let that entire industry fade easily.
