The State, in it’s infinite wisdom requires California roads be built out of crappy materials. They can repave a road and, in short order, there will be potholes the size of garbage cans. The new paving materials peel off the older roadway underneath at an alarming rate.
Our roads here last a couple of years at best, not millennia.
Potholes are extortion.
Vote for taxes to fill the potholes.
But don’t fill them. Keep them for the next election.
