Actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger took matters into his own hands when after the city did not repair a large pothole in his Los Angeles neighborhood.
The former Republican governor of California posted a video to social media of himself pouring concrete into the hole to fix it up.
“Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it,” Schwarzenegger wrote in the video caption. “I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go.”

The video shows a woman slowing her car down to thank him as he worked on filling the hole.
“You’re welcome,” the 75-year-old Hollywood star told the woman. “You have to do it yourself. This is crazy. For three weeks I’ve been waiting for this hole to be closed.”
Schwarzenegger’s spokesperson Daniel Ketchell said that neighborhood residents made repeated requests to fix that pothole and others, which are the result of winter storms, per Fox News.
Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass said at a press conference last week that the city is working diligently to address similar problems throughout the city.
“City workers are pulling out all the stops, but not to just prepare for every pothole that is reported, but also to be proactive,” Bass said. “That means driving around the city, throughout this district and all others, to assess the conditions of our streets and identify and repair the damage right away.”
An ABC News report from last week noted that the Bureau of Street Services received 19,279 requests since December to fix potholes throughout the city. Of those, they said to have repaired 17,132.

Bass made headlines in December while dealing with an entirely different issue in Los Angeles. The far-Left politician said she planned to eliminate homelessness by providing shelter for anyone living on the streets.
“No, these are not sweeps at all. This is getting people to move on their own, but then after the person leaves sanitation is absolutely going to have to be there,” she said of the plan. “No question about it. But this is not coercing people. This is not ticketing people or incarcerating people. This is moving people from tents to hotels or motels.”
