The entire Silicon Valley boom, through today, is under 'high-investment'
> The cities (and state for that matter) were built from the ground up by the people, for the people. "High-investment" government only came much later.
Democratic government is "by the people, for the people";. That was Abraham Lincoln's original quote: "government of the people, by the people, for the people". It's the people making decisions and investing in their community, fairly and democratically, instead of an aristocracy / oligarchy of a few wealthy people making the decisions.
