The "authoritays" don't give a rip about the people who get injured when riding a bicycle over this open gash in the pavement, nor do they care about the cost of the repairs to your vehicle.
They can shut the heck up.

“But he was then told by the authorities it wasn’t officially a pothole at all.”
It was filled with water, and was larger than 2 square feet in size, hence by law is a wetland under CA Code K691.4791. Penalty for disturbing a wetland is 50 years in prison and/or $6 million dollar fine.

If the picture is accurate (as opposed to a file photo) it is pretty clear it was a cut for utility work. But most of those have warning signs and are only there for a few days before the work is done and the patched instead of being left open for weeks.

If that ‘service trench’ was so very essential, the space should have been marked with a sign explaining this to the public. Arnold made a mistake, but so did the county in ignoring that area for a long time.
Some invisible bureaucrat is just in a snit because their negligence was called out.

The utility workers should be putting plywood over the hole, when they aren’t working on it so cars don’t lose their frames driving over it.

Some invisible bureaucrat is just in a snit because their negligence was called out.Got that one right! Better if they identify the bureaucrats and workers that tore up or allowed the road to be torn up without proper signage and then left abandoned. They should be disciplined or even fired.
Cheers to Arnold for caring enough to do something. Now let the city step up, thank him or at this point apologize, and do their part.

It was obviously a service cut, it seems that a celebrity ex-Governor could have called the city and the gas company and his call would have been received.

It's LA - any plywood placed over a hole will be removed to take its place in a fentanyl addict's stolen shopping cart.

If it wasn’t a pothole what was it ? A pink elephant?
These unresponsive bureaucraps need to be flushed off the taxpayers’ payroll

Generally they put a sheet of steel to drive over open street holes for ongoing roadwork.

In the 70’s Summit Rd. between Santa Clara and Santa Cruz in California was a heavily used road. The Summit Store put a pickle jar out for donations to fix the potholes. When enough money accumulated asphalt would be bought and placed by locals. The counties deemed it as illegal, done without permits,insurance etc. Has not gotten any better.
