The entire US is decades behind on infrastructure. This isn't just a PA thing.

That’s true but this is a PA sub. We also specifically vote for conservative politicians so the state is to blame as well.

Philly's been Democrat running for a long time and the infrastructure there is pretty bad too it's not a partisan position

The bulk of Democrats who win here are conservative. I didn’t specify political party on purpose. It’s a neoliberal politics/right wing America -in general problem. So yes it’s bipartisan because our politicians have no incentive to invest in longterm solutions.

Plus, doesn’t the city need state/federal funding to handle infrastructure?

I agree with that. As for the County's they are usually supposed to take care of their own infrastructure (see how roads can be paved in some county's regularly and others not). Major projects probably need additional resources, but should be by the town/city first before that.
