Municipal government rarely serves its citizens. Instead, it bows to the will of an entrenched bureaucracy which optimizes, above all else, the form of self-continuation requiring the lowest amount of effort possible. If you have ever dealt with city government in any capacity, you know how little power the elected representatives have when compared with the lifelong bureaucrats. Also, if you don’t think it’s a travesty when someone is forced out of their ancestral home because gentrification raises property taxes and they have a low income, you’re kind of heartless.
