The state is transitioning from universal infrastructure to a sort of K-shaped approach.
-lexus lanes
-tesla tunnels
-private tuition rebates
-nissan stadium ---> luxury visitor dome
For now there's all this existing universal infrastructure but it's difficult to picture where we'll be in 25 years

Basically, the state of Tennessee's "solutions" for traffic congestion are a special lane on the interstate for rich people "Choice Lanes", and a special tunnel under the interstate for rich people.
