Concrete streets Asphalt streets LA has both. And neither are getting fixed faster than they're breaking. It's time for LA to take better care of our largest public asset: our streets.

The problems is you’re calling out a problem without providing a solution. We can’t debt fund that much repair. It has to be funded by deep budget cuts. The only viable solution to fix this problem is to end the homeless industrial complex subsidies & eliminate all NGO grants.

Asphalt in Ca is a racket betweenCalTrans & Fed gov & politicians. They keep repaving the same sections every year

The budgets aren’t tighter, they’re spending on bullshit is out of control

Well it’s a good thing taxes in California are low…

Asphalt sounds like a planned obsolescence scheme.

$1 mil total budget for concrete street repair. Also: concrete much better than asphalt for global warming issues. Make it make sense.

What is been done with all the gas tax and vehicle registration fees that should go to streets and road safety

Eagle Rock, NE L.A.

Dallas did the same. Now we literally asphalt over the concrete. All these big cities are run by the same morons. All democrats and liberals and all crooked.

They can’t even keep reservoirs filled. All those homeless people need to be housed. There’s not enough left for infrastructure.

Concrete is garbage, it ends up cracking and it isn’t easy to repair. Concrete freeways turn washboarded and need to ground smooth every 10 years which never happens. Fuck concrete for roads.

Concrete is colder and will save energy. The heat output of asphalt will offset the savings by a lot. It’s the main reason it gets so hot in the city these days. Think of asphalt as a heater in the full sun it will output 1000 watt of heat per square meter.

Need to take money from the police budget god damn

Oh, incremental weather. Yeah man, yeah

Don't forget the alleys! Another 1000 miles of failed alleys (not included in current PCI) with literally not one penny funded in the Mayor Bass' Budget.

Look the reality is the streets were never going to be maintained, the entire construct is completely unsustainable, there are no maintenance budgets that can ever match the construction budgets, there never will be

If only CA didn’t waste billions on fraud, waste, and abuse.

You're telling me Angelinos pay 73 cents to CA for every gallon of gas they buy on top of sales tax and property tax but the city can't find the money to cover the basics? Our Government is completely broken, out of control, and as corrupt as any African Country.

Good luck LA morons, you are being robbed by Democrats and black Somalis! No money for the streets 😂

LA, along with California in general, won’t keep up car infrastructure intentionally. We have high gas taxes, a new law outlawing the sale of gas cars, a new law outlawing most tires, ‘lane diets’, impossible to navigate parking restrictions, speed cameras, unfilled pot holes, etc, etc. it’s all intentional. They want you to stay in a small area and use public transport instead of personal cars

They dont plan for LA to be around much longer .

People vote for third world ambassadors but can’t understand the third world ramifications?

Save the concrete. Asphalt is cheap quality and a cause of the urban heat island effect.

Streets get overhauled every decade across sectors because the city's massive and maintenance happens sequentially. You'd know that if you'd spent 5 minutes at a council instead of posting online. Stop pretending you're identifying a problem, just mad your street isn't first.

A citizen of a totally asphalted country here, including highways: good luck

Are you not going to talk about the spandex bikers who pushed for expanded bike lanes if anything is paved and those laws ended up stamping real repaires. You guys are fucked when the bills come due

Cut all the fraud, homeless funding, and welfare and direct those funds towards infrastructure and you would have utopia within a few years

Why not use brick?

Concrete make lot more road noise, and rough to drive on. Asphalt is quite and easy to drive.

When the collapse of Rome started they say it was noticeable that roads and bridges were no longer being maintained. 🤷‍♂️

Streets in California are unbelievably fucked
