When you first build a road you don't need to do said maintenance. So as we expand the number of roads and convert them from gravel to concrete, you'll have more potholes. It's not clear it's any worse per-mile of concrete road than before. But even if it was "worse" we have significantly more road than say 30 years ago.
- mbg721 4y agoMaybe I'm zeroing in on a much shorter term; the potholes, winter reflectors, and other various road items are clearly worse than say, five years ago. 30 years, maybe not; expectations in the world of phone booths were way different.
