New Yuck isnt much better. Winter time freeze and thaw creates the worst potholes I've ever "slalom coursed" around.
People watched swamp people, and think, that's what Louisiana is like. Well, yes, we have a very large swamp, but we also have some decent size city's and towns. I live in a city of around 200,000 people. The metro is around 650,000 people. What amazes me, is when you cross the state line in any direction, just how much better the roads are. Texas, fine roads, Mississippi, fine roads, and Mississippi is a much poorer state than Louisiana is. Where does Mississippi get the tax money to keep up there roads, and why can't Louisiana do the same thing? My drive back and forth to work, is horrible. It's hard to get my truck to hold an alignment. There is no way to avoid the bad roads. There is no way around it, because all of the roads are like that, except for the new construction. It took about 3 years to inlarge the main road leading into my subdivision. They bought property to do this, in the 1960s. It only took 60 years to do the work. Then our mayor at the time, decides to make it a Boulevard, with left turn lanes, but not all roads have a turn lane. So now you have idiots that are in the left lane, stopping traffic, so they can turn left, where they are not supposed to.
