I'd keep you awake with my cars reving engine, but EV mode scares even me it's so quiet.
Of course you missed the point and used the opportunity to ride your hobby horse into the sunset.
City roads are a city responsibility. My hobby horse is a near intersection with too many lights, with the approach having warning signs and blinking lights. To me that's ordinary corruption where the contractor got money for unneeded crap. And that's not the only example.

I question that because the roads here are pristine compared to Indiana. No joke, Indianapolis has such a terrible pot hole problem that at times it's had to pay out damages to people's vehicles because they're that bad. I had to drive like I was drunk to avoid them where I lived. Amd their cheapest bidders using substandard asphalt means it breaks down and starts cracking sometimes before the new road is open.
The roads in Concord are horrible in places. The car shakes so badly we almost hit our heads on the roof in a couple of places and the roads are often broken up and headed toward gravel unless something is done soon. This report is a few years old but still very valid at least for Concord Concord Roads Ranked: See How They Compare To Rest Of Bay Area
The city of Concord's 716 miles of roads ranked in the "at-risk" category, according to the latest report on local road pavement conditions by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which oversees transportation planning for the nine-county Bay Area. Concord roads scored 59 out of a possible 100 points, down 1 point from last year.
Roads deemed "at-risk" — in the 50-59 range — may soon require major rehabilitation or reconstruction.
Off to Liverpool one for a bit of retail therapy.

You're in Canada, and from what I can tell, they don't even plow the streets in the winter or clear downed trees from the road after an ice storm.... what do you expect in the Great White North....

It's been awhile since I've complained of credit, but apparently we're obligated to buy a car every few years or get labeled a "first time buyer" even if it's really the third car you've bought.
This system is absolute garbage. Like how my credit has barely budged since last I checked (I'm at 644). So I'm still being punished because it took me a very long time to finally get a job (about two year if you count the entirety and not just when I lost the Dx Express).

And how the bank approved this when it's about a quarter of my regular employment checks. I'm gonna have to do rideshare to pay for it. Which sucks. But that's not the point. It's the fact the bank approved a loan that would make me car broke if I didn't have other avenues of income. They apparently needed the econ teacher I had in high school.

Between the payment and insurance getting a car, though very much needed, is basically like having a decent second job.
But at least when passengers on rideshare tell me I'm the best ever it turns into a very high rating and fists full of cash rather than human goat headbutting contests with certain managers.

My point is to mock government's wasteful
& even wrongful spending that ignores
necessary upkeep of infrastructure.
Now....go bark up someone else's tree.
