Have you been to Europe? I just returned from Paris where it rained and hailed last week. The roads are pristine. Same in London.

Good luck getting Pennsylvanians to spend over £300 million per year, per city, on roads, like London does.

That should scale.

More serious, on topic reply:

The combination heat and humidity during Summer is the differentiating factor. Worse than London etc.

You can rebuild the road twice a year, still gonna crack.

It can be done was my point. Our taxes go elsewhere though.

Rebuild or patch potholes? It's been over 2 decades since I've been to Philly and Pittsburg, not sure how things are now. I lived in the tri-state area for 15 years until '05. Never saw anything approaching rebuilding, just mickey mouse patching (Brooklyn, NJ, Manhattan).
