Why do we still use concrete and asphalt for our roadways? Why have we not found a better material that is less prone to potholes and always feels smooth to drive on?

Yeah actually we have, if you take coral and grind it down and apply it in thin layers and compact it you get a gloriously strong roadway. But the cost both environmental and logistically are too great for most places.

Fun fact: The Enola Gay took off from a runway made entirely of coral, I believe it’s still there today.
