Description

While fuming over the state of California roads a few weeks ago on a harrowing drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco — I swore to look into why they were so bad. What I found shocked me to my pot-hole-rattled bones – California’s measured road quality had increased 53% since 2015. That’s weird. What’s weirder is that federal statistics claim 65% of California’s roads have disappeared. This set off alarms in my head as I wondered if road “quality” was increasing because of a conscious decision to measure less “bad” roadway to make the state’s roads seem better than they are. While 65% of the state's roads disappeared on paper, they certainly hadn't in reality.
