I feel like that article has just strung together every negative complaint you can find on Reddit. With a few "but it's not all bad" anecdotes for some sort of balance. Personally I feel the larger problem is the mostly invisible city workers and non-profits that are constantly sidelined by the visible elected officials. There are a great many projects slowing making an impact. But they often lose funding or support once someone has finished using them for some Twitter/photo op. Pet projects are the norm, feels like no one wants to do the hard work to reform processes in place that allow for deadlock :(
