…or make you go snowblind while you’re trying to drive down the street. Just the thought of Phoenix in July while walking on a completely white surface makes my eyes hurt.

I guess being only 160°F means the gray is working. I wonder how well it would do if it were painted white.
A single pothole in concrete is a very invasive fix with significant amount of debris, but asphalt can be almost infinitely recycled.
Replacing asphalt means eating up the debris and putting it right back in the ground. Replacing concrete means toting truck loads of the stuff _somewhere else_ to sit

Poor pets.
160'F is hot enough to boil an egg in under a couple of minutes.

Not the exact, perfect reuse of Asphalt but it does end up used as fill.
