San Diego city streets are in disrepair. A new city survey released in early January downgraded San Diego's overall "pavement rating" from satisfactory to fair. And as the city works to dig itself out from the negative rating, taxpayers continue to foot the bill to pay for the damages to vehicles from hitting thousands of potholes citywide. CBS 8 obtained data that the city of San Diego paid out more in pothole-related damages last year than it had over the course of the past five years. City data shows the city paid $409,145 last year to drivers who submitted legal claims to get reimbursed for damages to their cars, whether that meant near tires, rims, or axles.
