In the city, poor planning, plus all of the inbred corruption of the city government, causes business and residents to flee in record numbers. In the suburbs, there are too many municipal governments, and each little area has its own little biases and quirks, and businesses will exploit them, often pitting one municipality against another so they could get their way. That's why you will get one town with a well-planned center, and another with sprawl all over the place. Top it off with all of the regressive taxes, and a state and federal government dominated by small-minded interests, and you have a recipe for the mess we have here today.So true.
So sad.
