text: Is there a city in the U.S. that doesn't get complaints about potholes? I live in a town of about 5000 people; it's the seat of the county of 50,000. Except for bad weather, weekends and holidays there are crews repairing potholes daily.  My street - twelve homes - no outlet so minimal traffic, needs repairs four or five times a year.  I don't think we could afford to build a road that would withstand the daily temp fluctuation experienced in the high desert with its freeze-thaw cycle, so on this one I give the gov't a pass.
