Because government services are NOT profit or customer satisfaction driven........ MUP budgets will be slashed so that the budget can be divided amongst other branches of the same department or funneled into new/other department budgets.
This is how it has always worked. This is how/why governments continue to grow and increase taxes until... they topple under their own weight.
I think you misunderestimate the rationality behind government projects. While I agree that there is a lot of short-sightedness, self-interest, social-interest, etc. interfering with the effectiveness of government projects, probably at least partly due to intentional sabotage internally, there are legitimate, rational ideas and goals behind government projects, and connective MUP networks are rational to the extent they foster the ability of people/businesses to go beyond the automotive paradigm to explore more efficient forms of human-geography.
All you seem to want to do is project a situation in which all LCF infrastructure gains are halted and even destroyed in an effort to re-assert a monopoly for the automotive paradigm, but I think that is a product of some bias you seem to harbor against LCF.
