Are there any cities where the citizens don’t think the city council, government, etc is all “incompetent”?
Like what is a city which is well functioning, where the citizens like the government?
- frosted-flakes 6y agoSome cities do have good governments and high popularity ratings, to the point where politicians get fairly re-elected for decades straight. Mississauga (part of the GTA) is apparently one of them, because Hazel Mccallion served as mayor for 36 years straight and only stopped because she was 93. I'm not exactly sure why she was so popular (I'm not from there), but her endorsement is still mayor 6 years later, so they must be doing something right.
- PoignardAzur 6y agoThe mayor of Paris (Anne Hidalgo) is relatively popular and respected by even her detractors. (not many members of the Socialist Party you can say that about these days)
- chubot 6y agoThat was my reaction on reading the parent comment too. However then I remembered that the mayor of Toronto was Rob Ford a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Ford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Ford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Rob_Ford_video_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Rob_Ford_video_sca... Boundaries have moved in recent years, but I think this behavior is still outside of normal for politicians.
