I havent really drivin around the San Jose area in a while, but I am still fairly familiar with all of the streets in Cali... Nor and So Cal. Am I missing something? They are saying Cali has the worst roads in America??

We even beat out NYC?

I certainly don't agree with that stat. I am frequent traveller in California and I always admire how good the roads are atleast in comparison to Chicago roads. Our roads here are far more need of repairs. During winter time, the snow plows just tear up the roads. Literally some potholes can swallow your wheels.

Maybe they should've compared by cities. I don't agree with the article either.

Perhaps SOME roads here are bad, but based on the size of the state and the number of roads, I think Cali's roads are just fine!! The writer MUST be jealous!!
