Poor infrastructure hurts all residents

Re “County’s draft $7.15 billion budget for 2022-23 increases public safety spending” (May 6): It’s astounding to me that streets and roads get so little attention in the county’s proposed budget.

Just as with the city of San Diego, the county appears to do little about our crumbling infrastructure. While the focus seems to be almost exclusively on social services, the damage caused to cars by the bad roads and huge potholes hits all of us.

Administration after administration has let our infrastructure fall into its pitiful state. Now elected leaders are waiting for the federal infrastructure bill to bail them out.

These same politicians decry the imposition of the federal government’s restrictions on how they spend money from federal programs, when it only happens because they have failed in one of the three critical areas: public safety, infrastructure, public health.

How about an article on that? One that traces the abrogation of duty back

through to the administrations that began this shameful operating policy. Joe da Rosa Point Loma
