Your street has potholes, right? You're not alone.

### Your Streets Are a Mess and We're All Talking About It

So look—we all got somethin' to complain about in this city, nah? But what's got everyone deadass pickin' up the phone these days ain't what you might think. Forget the rats for a sec. According to the latest 311 service request data, the number one issue for New Yorkers right now is "Street Condition / Pothole," with a whopping 4,640 requests. That’s more calls than for heat and hot water issues, which clocked in at 4,549 for entire buildings.

Think about that. People are more annoyed by the craters on their block than by freezing their behinds off in a drafty apartment. And illegal parking? Blocked hydrants? Still high, sure, but potholes are king. Makes you wonder about your morning commute, doesn't it? Try ridin' your bike on that mess, I dare ya.

Meanwhile, over in the lobbyist world, it's business as usual. Constantinople & Vallone Consulting LLC is out there workin' for ZB Pearl LLC and Green Empire Farms, Inc. through 2026. Salesforce, Inc. is still pushin' their agenda via Cojo Strategies LLC. Big money talkin', as always. But on the ground, New Yorkers just want to get to work without blowin' a tire.

We'll see if City Hall actually starts fillin' these things, or if we gotta start callin' 'em "New York's natural speed bumps." That's New York — if you can't keep up, take the bus.
