If they can swallow smart cars, I’d be tempted to leave them heh.
I feel your pain though, I pay a large sum in property taxes (why are we paying tax on something we supposedly own?) and our roads are crap too.
I wish I had photos of old RT 40 to Cumberland.
Used to be the only way to get there, before I68 went in.
Not only were there potholes deep enough to break the front end off your bike, there were saplings growing on the center line.
In an odd, post-apocalyptic way, it was really cool to drive that road.
They’ve since “fixed” it, more or less, at least to the point where you don’t have to dodge shrubbery.
