Yeah it's pretty frustrating. I get annoyed when there's some hit piece that's like "$pieceOfCrucialLifeImprovingInfrastructure to cost 10 million". So? shit costs money, some people spend that much on a fucking house + mortgage as private individuals. Meanwhile there's some slightly widen a road project next to it which will cost 2 billion and serve like optimistically 10 times as many people and have higher maintenance costs.
Shit like public transport, cycle ways, clean water in rural areas, healthcare etc get hit by this shit all the time and it's nonsense.
