Your city's worst infrastructure problem — and what candidates should do about it

Infrastructure is local. Your potholed street, your aging water main, your bridge that hasn't been inspected in 8 years—these aren't federal problems. They're city council problems. But cities are starved for funding. Gas taxes are inadequate. Property tax caps in some states (looking at you, California) strangle local budgets. Federal funding comes with red tape and decades of bureaucracy. What infrastructure failure affects YOUR daily life? Crumbling sidewalks? Non-existent transit? Schools falling apart? And what should your local candidates be proposing to fix it? Smart bond proposals? Public-private partnerships? Raising property taxes? Efficiency measures that cost nothing but political will? This thread is for documenting real local infrastructure failures and the realistic solutions candidates should champion.
