Reminder that it’s not just paying for infrastructure; it’s the amount of force applied due to trucks and other heavy vehicles. Americans generally have heavier vehicles, which results in more potholes compared to places with more compact cars.
My city very much pays for pothole repair but the number of trucks and full size SUVs/vans are pretty high so we’ve got potholes o’ plenty. It mostly just means every other day this major street I live on seems to have a crew doing a repair.

Ride bikes, plant trees
That’ll help reduce asphalt repair schedules, convincing cities to do that is surprisingly much harder to do
