Hell come to Dallas, our roads in the city limits are horrrrible! Pot hole central here, had my first bent rim 3 weeks ago........ughh. I recently saw on the news that pot hole/road repair is not in the budget this year....go figure.

there are a ton of potholes in the north east because "they" would rather fix them once. at the end of the winter, instead of fixing every pothole as they turn up, they just go in and do them in great numbers at the end of the season. basically, a pothole that formed in december and a pothole formed in march are likely to be fixed at the same time.

it makes sense. if you have a leak in your ceiling are you going to recarpet your floor every time it rains, or are you gonna wait till you fix your roof?

However, its still annoying and dangerous and "they" should fix all open potholes at least once a month.

I lived in NE Ohio (Cleveland), and we had similar roads there: pot holes, rocks etc. I had to zig-zag around them. I decided to move to Georgia, where the roads are much better. I do not understand why municipalities do not spend some money to lay down decent asphalt. I know it cost money, but not doing anything make the area look like a 3rd world country - and it is one of the main reasons I left NE Ohio.

I'd hope the roads are better in Georgia than Ohio, as there arn't as many freeze/thaw cycles which kills the roads

I am just disappointed that the US government bullshits its citizens about war on crime/war on drugs/war on terror but there is no war on potholes! I want a fcking war on potholes!
