title: In proj4string(shp) : CRS object has comment, which is lost in output
body: <p>Using the code below, I am trying to read a shapefile. This used to work properly but not with my recently upgraded R/Rstudio. I got this error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>In proj4string(shp) : CRS object has comment, which is lost in output</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I used devtools to install oldtmaptools that hosts the read_shape function. Is there any way to fix this?</p>
  <p>P.S: I know readOGR might be an alternative but for some reason, I prefer to use the read_shape function.</p>
  <pre><code># the shape file is downloadable from: https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2017/shp/
  usshapefile &lt;- &quot;cb_2017_us_state_500k.shp&quot;
  nhgeo &lt;- read_shape(file=usshapefile, as.sf = TRUE)
  </code></pre>
