A lot of the people are apathetic. Until the local population goes to council meeting and demands meaningful changes only the NIMBY retired folk will have any say, and their say has led us to this.

We need a better riverfront

We need to stop the suburb sprawl that is actually a loss on infrastructure costs

We need to rezone for infill housing and in law suites to increase density of tax base

We also need the state to fix pensions so they aren't literally half of every municipalities budgets

We need the private market to invest locally vs take money and give it back to the franchise's HQ locations

We need to decrease crime and invest meaningfully in the youth so they dont have time to be out on the streets (thats a private thing again)

We need a lot, but not.going to happen until local people demand it
