I can vouch for this one. Went from near-daily ~3 drinks to maybe 3 drinks a week, if that. Never even want a drink; have to convince myself to have one, and even then, I don't usually finish it. I credit cannabis (partial credit to a psilocybin experience) for killing my alcohol habit
Love too see icons of revolution being coopted by forces of reaction because they aren't explicit in their call for revolution but instead represent an ill-defined concept of rebellion and liberation
Vehicles have gotten a lot heavier in the last decade. Plus those busses in the 2019 pic. Heavier vehicles wear down roads fast
It's also possible that around 2019 that street only got a slurry seal top coat, which buys a few years for the road's lifespan. Actually repaving a road is expensive, noisy, and disruptive, which is why it's only done every ~15 years.
Also, utilities (comm lines, water, electrical, sewage, gas, etc) are under roads. If the utility line goes bad and needs replacement, guess what? The road's getting dug up and the repair is gonna be just good enough for the inspector to sign off on it
But a little bit of poison disinfects my throat on the way down right?
