Answer 1

Interstate highway maintenance may disappear if local taxes are eliminated because the funding for maintaining the highways comes from local taxes. Neighborhood trash pickup may also disappear as it is typically funded by local taxes. A regional military base, however, is typically funded by federal taxes and would not be directly affected by the elimination of local taxes. Grocery store parking lots are usually privately owned and maintained by the grocery store itself, so they would likely not be directly affected by the elimination of local taxes.
