- ghc 13y agoI know you're probably joking, but you're wrong about that. The Mayor's office of New Urban Mechanics (the most startup-like government office I've ever talked to), under the previous mayor, developed an app called Citizens' Connect, which allows citizens to quickly report and get the city to fix urban problems. In the case of potholes, it doesn't even necessarily require direct reporting, as at least one version of the pothole reporting app can use your phone's accelerometer to automatically report potholes as you drive.
