How many people living on their rural property build their own roads to get there, as compared to relying on taxpayer subsidies?

Running a grader over their many-kilometer unsealed dirt road once a year after the wet season is how a lot of rural places do it.

If it's roads on/within their own property they do have to pay for it (I cannot speak globally, but in Australia). If it's on government land then of course it's govt cost and responsibility.

Trains are great for high density. They don't make sense to small towns or widely-dispersed populations - electric vehicles will always be needed and it's dumb to pretend one size fits all.
