Obviously, I can't speak for the paths down where you live. My experiences are from riding around here, as well as doing a number of multi-day trips where we rode around 150 miles in a couple of days and basically needed to go from A to B. In my experience, some paths are great, and some are horrible. Some also don't go where you need to go. I think things are getting better, but there still is a lot of room for improvement. The reality is that with some paths, you're better off than on them.
