Concrete streets
Asphalt streets

LA has both. And neither are getting fixed faster than they're breaking.

Lots of huge SUV’s/trucks and heavy EV’s in LA:

Think about how many F-350’s or U-Haul’s you see on the road. Not many. Now imagine all the Rivians and Cybertrucks are F-350’s or U-Haul trucks.

Now think about the handful of Hummer EV’s you see and how it’s nearly as heavy as a commercial truck but, being driven up and down the same roads daily.
