Your answer, Steve
Steve Hymon blogs about the Mayor’s media event marking the one-millionth pothole filled during his administration, and asks:
I’m curious what readers think. Does it feel like 1 million potholes have been filled in L.A. since summer July 2005? Or do you believe the roads in Baghdad may be better?
Steve has obviously never toured America’s other major cities by motorcar.
In particular, Chicago’s potholes better resemble craters, and will eat your car. LA’s roads, by contrast, are impressively well-maintained for a big city—with the exception of Wilshire Boulevard, which has noticeably deteriorated in recent years.
Steve, take it from a driver who loves driving; it was the first thing I noticed when I moved here (incidentally, the second thing I noticed was how clean the streets and sidewalks were).
If you want to talk Baghdad, let’s talk DWP.
