I do wonder what would happen, if networks for water, waste, electricity or even streets would have to be build on a large scale in the political climate of the US today.
Implying the political climate has ever been any different.
Something something past, rose-tinted glasses.
Political climate is a function of the people in charge. People in charge, due the nature of power and its effects, are always the same. Therefore the political climate is always the same.
It depends on what you mean by large scale, but there is nothing unusual about a development with hundreds of new homes, with complete utilities (maybe even a small wastewater treatment system for the development).
