And you thought I was just whining about our streets.

Most of the roads that do get repaved only last a few years due to low bid skim coats, shoddy work and crappy materials.
i remember back in the old country, roadpaving contracts came with warranties
which means that if a road did not last, say 5 years, the company that got paid to pave them, now had to fix it for free

i would expect the same from any company i do business with, but i guess the government doesnt see it that way
