Concrete is a whole different animal and all of that is true, the real fix for all of this if the road is bad enough is to redo the entire thing, but considering these people are doing it themselves they’re probably using cold mix, which is exactly what it’s for to fill in potholes. Basically filling in potholes is a temporary fix, but more often than not it’s the only fix poor people get if they get any help at all. These people aren’t doing anything wrong from what I know and even if they were whatever damage is happening to the road is the cities fault anyways. Driving over potholes all the time fucks your car up and I’d personally rather give a shit about that than whatever problem the city would have with the small fixes people are doing, they just need to redo the road like they should be doing anyways
