General Road and Highway Discussion

[SammyOES]

The fact is however, that this street is one of the best examples of corruption in the city.  

I think "corruption" is the wrong word. I think it could just be that local governments respond to people that show up, and the wealthy people generally show up more (for lots of reasons).

I've been in a lot of local government meetings where a delegation that almost certainly represents a minority view gets their way because they showed up. A lot of time I don't even know if its deeper than most humans don't like conflict and by appeasing the people that show up you avoid a direct conflict.

I'm not saying this is really any better than actual corruption. But its at least a more tractable problem then real corruption.
