I just drove from Cape May to Long Island and NJ roads were not even close to being as pot hole riddled as Ny’s. They have the same winters as here and the same tax burden but they get it done.
You also have mentioned all the jobs it would create, but think NOTHING of the thousands of jobs that were destroyed in one day. Hey, as long as it's not my family, they're expendable right? Growth is pain!!
!
I'd just like to point out, the future is coming whether we like it or not.
Type writers vs computers
Landline vs cellphones
film vs digital cameras
traveling by boat vs airplane
regular mail vs email
Horse buggy vs cars
Regular lightbulbs vs LED light bulbs.
So you definitely use a computer, email, and possibly a cell phone since you are on the forum. What about all those jobs that were lost? IE the operator that connected you to the number you were calling? Because they no longer paid for operators, cost dropped, your bills were lowered. You eventually spent your money to buy a new car, use gas that funded new roads to be built that created new jobs. Actually many.
You are too short sighted if you focus on jobs lost and actually believe Biden is doing this because he doesn't care. It is because he cares, he made it a mainstream focus of his first 100 days. It is a different means to the same goal. Sorry you disagree but mainly because you can't even acknowledge this is a possibility.

Cape may is GSP south, which is likely state funded. Interstates are partially federally funded. So I495 is partially funded by the gas tax but maintained by the State? Pretty sure that is how it works.

This! Yes!! Same with CT, and they have way worse winters than us. These people don't seem to get it.
You can nitpick what highway is used all you want ugggs. We have a beach home in southern NJ, which to which I have the privilege of using all different federal, state, county, and town roads. Roads are immaculate. There is no comparison. You clearly don't leave NY much, such a shame. To each their own.

I have traveled the world, Asia, Australia, Europe, Caribbean, South America and have seen how other worlds operate and have even better roads, transportation but they charge way higher taxes and vice versa, then compared it to NYC. Somebody pays to maintain it or doesn't.
I'm so upset and just need to vent..potholes hampered my vacation. I didn't make it but 3 exits on the LIE before a double blow out.
Poorly inflated tires, age of tire or bad suspension?
I can understand the front tire blowing out but the rear, as well? Says to me, either one of the three contributed to your issue and it could happen again regardless of the size of the pothole.
I have low profiles, 19's and 22's with 25 or 30 mm sidewalls. Never had a blow out or a tire issue, even though I travel at a fast rate of speed.

You must be the Cop who said "what pothole" when he pulled up on me and another person disabled by the same crater.
My car has 3000 miles on it and is brand new. I couldn't see the crater in the HOV lane and BLAM. Today was the first time back on the LIE in that car and I drove 45 MPH in the slow lane so I could avoid the potholes. It was stressful..
