I used to think that was true, but Lincoln, one of the richest towns in the state has horrible roads, worse than what you have in your pictures. They just don't care. Most of the people have lived there for years, are proud of being frugal to the extreme, and don't want "outsiders" using their roads to begin with! That is one of the reasons I don't ride in one direction from my house because I have to go through Lincoln.
Littleton is even worse, although it is not in the financial category.
