Not only do General Prediction Markets (GPM's) solve the
question of "What are the better 'public investments' to do?"...
as determined by the actual public, instead of by tyrannies
of (laughable "democratic") central authorities (which history
has proven always care more about themselves than the human
condition)... GPM's are also strictly better than "crowdfunding".
This is because fraudulent countless crowdfund recipients will
always popup to defraud the crowd at will, enabled by the fact
that the contracts of the fraudulent crowdfund proposer are
by nature setup as award-before-delivery mode, and even
worse, in a many-losses-sent-to-one-walkaway-scammer
payout mode. Whereas GPM's use award-upon-delivery to specification
mode, from whatever inputs back the trusted-by-history-of-example
payors (which predictors are free to choose from and predict or not),
to the claimant payee upon completion. Of course such payee will
need to have built up or secured via other methods the means
to complete the work (herein "The Roads", or whatever meter
or pothole of them) in order to claim the prediction and thus
earn the reward. However, even that can be parceled out
by the GPM's as piecewise rewards toward any larger goal...
anyone who can earn the smallest of monetary units by their human
labor, can spend that into claiming the next larger prediction, thus
also remaining consistent with fundamentals of economics.
Note also that GPM's rapidly advance human capabilities and
drive public costs lower by being claimed by the first competitor
that can arise do it profitably. No resources are wasted by any party,
and crony favoritism, roads and bridges to nowhere, etc, are all driven out.
Crowdfunds and Governments simply cannot match the performance
of GPM's in these regards. Yes, silly tycoons will fund art deco roads
to nowhere, but that is at their own loss and that of their investors, not
lossed forced upon and extracted from the public through inflation and
theft as all Govts immorally and criminally do today. Given the abject,
guaranteed, inefficient, oppressive, corrupt, and ruinous failure of all
Govt in history to do any such works...

GPM's should be explored, developed, and operated to
"Build the Roads", "Get to Mars", "Cure Cancer",
"Fusion Power", "Charity", etc... whatever humanity feels
needs done.

You might find the results to be pleasantly surprising.
