Why Potholes Matter: A Walk Through Our Streets

A well-maintained street shows that someone cares, while a rough one feels abandoned. We dive into how the state of our streets sends strong messages about community and care. When you walk down a street that’s patched up and has working lights, you feel that someone’s looking out for the place. On the flip side, a neglected street tells you that no one’s paying attention. We discuss how these signals can be even louder than any policy, shaping how people perceive a neighborhood. Join us as we explore this idea and what it means for communities everywhere.
