Legneato blamed "the government" for the state of the city. I was only pointing out that the government is us. We elect them, they don't existing a vacuum.

Legneato blamed "the government" for the state of the city. I was only pointing out that the government is us. We elect them, they don't existing a vacuum. I never directly blamed the citizens, but they are the ones who live there, work there, and elect the government, so at least indirectly, they are to blame. It's a wealthy city - there's no reason (beyond apathy or greed) that the government can't implement policies that make the city a better place.
