No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Where the fuck do you live where a fifty mile radius is pothole-free? I'm ten minutes from poorly maintained Interstate Freeway, State Highway, and major local thoroughfares connecting transit hubs. The most important roads in the wealthiest part of the region (Seattle Metroplitan Area) are in disrepair, our bridges are falling apart, so are our ferries (surprisingly important infrastructure). We have two passenger train lines, one shares space with (and makes way for) every ounce of rail freight and the other is generally poorly managed (their brand-new escalators break constantly, among other issues) "On time" is not usually an accurate description of the service.
You're so clearly full of shit. The ferries alone. We aren't getting a new boat for several years and we've been on reduced service while they juggle ships around to different routes, and we're just hoping for no more crashes or breakdowns in the meantime. (There were at least three last year) The fleet is old, half the ferries have been in service for over 30 years.
WSDOT says over 210 bridges in the state are in "poor" condition (formerly "structurally deficient", thanks Highway Administration for rebranding the scary words away) 21 of those are in King County.
