Actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has taken matters into his own hands and fixed a pothole near his home in Brentwood. In a video posted to his Twitter account, Schwarzenegger is seen dumping a bag of Quikrete asphalt repair mix into the hole before his team shovels it into place. The video has since been viewed over 10 million times. While Schwarzenegger had filed a complaint using the city's 311 system, he decided to take matters into his own hands after three weeks of waiting for the hole to be fixed. City officials have stated that the damage Schwarzenegger fixed wasn't actually a pothole, but rather a service trench related to active permitted work by a utility company. However, Schwarzenegger and his team did fill a separate opening, which was a pothole.
Potholes are a major problem in Los Angeles, with thousands opening up after intense rainstorms in recent weeks. Mayor Karen Bass and other city officials have acknowledged the issue and have said that street crews are working to fill in the potholes as quickly as possible. Schwarzenegger's video has drawn attention to the problem and has served as an example of how individuals can take action to fix the issue instead of just complaining about it.
Schwarzenegger's actions have been praised by many on social media, with some calling him a hero and others saying he should run for office again. However, some have also pointed out that fixing potholes is the responsibility of the city and that individuals should not have to take matters into their own hands. Despite this, Schwarzenegger's video has served as a reminder that individuals can make a difference in their communities by taking action instead of just complaining.
It remains unclear whether Schwarzenegger plans to continue fixing potholes in his neighborhood or if he will leave it to the city to address the issue. However, his actions have drawn attention to the problem and have inspired others to take action as well. With the issue of potholes continuing to plague Los Angeles, it is clear that more needs to be done to address the problem and prevent future damage to roads and vehicles.
