Everything may not be relative, but some things are. I'm not sure whether to be more surprised that Durham used to fix 90% of its potholes within 24 hours, or that the current sub-20% number shocks people. From what I remember of the north, the idea that any pothole would be fixed in 24 hours is a very odd idea.
Also, a moment of local pride: Durham has adopted a mascot for its road paving program. The picture's in the link above.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
