> one of the reasons nice neighbourhoods aren't built is because it's so easy to make money... Neighbourhoods require infrastructure, which require a functioning government. Easy money will always be made one way or another - neighbourhood quality is a political problem. It's like creating new software vs maintaining software. Most people can only maintain, sort of. It takes a different breed to create and an exotic, rare breed to create well. I'm not surprised that most politicians are pouring money from one government program bucket into another. That's all most people can do, is maintain. I'm surprised there hasn't been a single political movement worth a shit within my lifetime.
