I am from Panambi, Rio Grande do Sul (the southern state of Brazil). A major concern in my city are the street potholes. There are many potholes and everyday the number of them just increase. They are caused by two major factors:
1) The low quality of the existing asphalt and the replacement asphalt (which is also of low quality and by this way cheaper than one of a high quality).
2) The constant water leaks caused by old water pipes across the city.
The solutions are easy ones. First of all, they need to replace the old water pipes by new ones (actually, already exists a project for this) and after, but just AFTER, they can replace the asphalt by one of a higher quality (that is more expensive, but in a long-term it pays itself).
