I know this has nothing to do with the city workers, but why are they paving roads that are perfectly fine? Maybe they know something I don't but all these roads they are paving look very good to me and a waste of tax payer money.

Usually when someone has the road in front of their house paved they are happy, but that wasn't the case for me last month. I was actually pretty pissed off as a citizen that the road that I drive on every day that was in excellent condition was being re-paved.

Is their main goal just to make the workers busy? I really don't understand why they need to re-pave a perfectly fine road. What a waste.
I always envied the guy sitting in the lawn chair holding the 'slow down' sign at the start of construction zones.
