These people are clinically insane. $40,000/mile to make sure drivers are blinded? Ever drive a car with a white hood? All you can see is the blinding glare of the Sun.

If CA truly cared about the climate, they’d go back to dirt roads.

I like Tim Gunn. He’s immaculately dressed, but he’s not a snob. He’s a very, very nice man.

"...white roads..."


Road color is far more important than fixing, say, 12”-deep potholes that can cause trucks, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles to crash.

Why not just make the roads out of white(ish) concrete, the way TX and some other high-temp states do?

White streets? That’s Racist.

Blacktop is far more racially balanced. Leave things alone.

Ok. Why not also paint all non-caucasians white? That would certainly help.

"...slip n’ slide..."


The vendor indicates the coating is *not* slippery when wet.
I will believe that when I see it and experience it live someday.

WHITE streets? That smacks of microaggression to me.

So L.A.'s streets will now look indistinguishable from most of Florida's roads? Sprawling homeless camps, and THIS is what they choose to spend money on.
