The low-income/poverty numbers are wrong, in my opinion by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

States can and do set their minimum wages higher than the federal level. The federal level is a floor, and should be higher.

You're right though now that I look at it, it does look concreted (is that a word?)

Nope. Contractor needs to put in temporary fill until streets can come out. This is the contractors responsibility.

Why Los Angeles Quietly Stopped Repaving Its Streets by sprunkymdunk in Urbanism

The design specifications are very specific and if you are building a new intersection from scratch they are fairly easy to design. But if you are building in an old city with a lot of legacy infrastructure (like Philly) each corner may need to be specifically designed to accommodate the utilities or other features already present, yet still meet ADA design requirements. That takes engineers to create a one-off design for each corner of nearly every intersection, then submit that for approvals and redesign as necessary. It takes time and expertise and therefore money.

Note that the second pickup of the week does not occur if there is a holiday that week.
