The potholes around here are atrocious

There is no reason why one of the highest GDP urban areas in the world should have road quality this piss poor. I’m on my 3rd tire bubble in 2 months. This one I hit last night merging on 280 North from 101 North in SF. I wasn’t so lucky and it also bent my wheel. I do most of my driving at night so sometimes I can’t dodge or see the potholes in time. Lots of roads are in complete dilapidated condition. How bad do the roads need to get for people to start protesting?
