Planting potholes…

Leave it to professional prankster Coby Persin to increase his YouTube viewership by  planting some  of the myriad potholes of New York City with flowers and shrubs and trees.   The politicians claim the weather is responsible for all the potholes,  but if they didn’t have so many people to pay off with repaving contracts, and so much graft and corruption in connection with same,  the potholes might occur less frequently and might well be addressed before spring and summer roll around.

I realize Persin considered this a prank,  but it was,  at least while the flora was in place,  an effective way to have traffic avoid the tire-busting holes while somewhat beautifying the signs of urban decay and inefficiency.
