The roads in Florida are freaking fantastic and pristine almost everywhere. I moved to Seattle ~5 years ago and I still can't get over the fact that the roads are pot holed pieces of crap in a constant state of disrepair. We can't even get white divider lines painted reliably in the downtown core. I don't know where all the tax money goes.
However, the downside of those glorious Florida roads is that, well, you need them at all. Everything is sooooooo spread out and flat. I forget until I go back and visit just how far away everything is from everything else. Going to something "just up the road" is a 15-20 minute drive.
- jrs235 4y agoThe roads in Florida are nice because they don't go through the freeze thaw cycle in winter.

- pandaman 4y agoSo could it be the reason roads are nice in Florida is not the lack of winter freeze but the ability of its government to govern?
