We used to call these axle breakers, and for the large ones, tank traps. The ones in TV are minor annoyances, I do not even avoid them, bump-bump, but they do detract from the area.

No evidence? Try going below 466 on Morse & near 466A southbound on Buena Vista.
It's not criticism of your beloved developer -- it's the county's responsibility.

Neither will last as long as a proper repave with asphalt.

Exactly. Go over by Morse Blvd near Mallory country club. There are tons of pot holes, especially in the roundabout right there. They are a hazard to people riding bicycles and motor cycles. Again, the roads are the responsibility of the country, and therefore no one is blaming the developer for the potholes. I am so sick of people being super sensitive as far as the developer goes, or just living in an alternate universe. Many posters have attested to the existence of potholes and their severity. They exist, they have been there for some time, should be better maintained, are a safety hazard. Period.
