5. It's infrastructure

Being built on about a hundred years of outdated and unusable infrastructure and poor city planning, requiring billions of dollars to put in place a modern system. We can keep living in the past with ancient technology, or put in the hard work and substantial investment that would save us trillions in the long term and catch us up with the rest of the modern industrialized world. I prefer the latter.
