We already know the state of the town – overcrowded, poorly planned (if at all), traffic nightmares, stoplights everywhere you go, cops looking to ticket at every turn, leading to people driving ridiculously slow, which leads to worse traffic, and the cycle spirals downward.
I suppose as long as leaders (elected and otherwise) remain in their roles, collecting their checks, what incentive do they have to do otherwise?
Used to be such a nice place to live. Unfortunately, quality of life gets worse and worse by the day. That’s the true state of the town.
