Yes this. In places like Sacramento downtown, it is pothole patches over old pothole patches with many existing unpatched holes still around.
Really the streets needed to be fully reground and repaved about 30 years ago. There is of course no money for that and everyone knows it (the money is being spent on other 'more important' things in California which I leave as an exercise for the reader as to what those things are).
California is a large state. Is the state responsible for every paved surface? How about the counties, cities, or municipalities? Are the roads better in the deep red regions of California?
