Everyone would get every little thing they want, we would have ten indoor pools, ten dog parks, and enormous performance center and we would be changing the street signs from hind side too and back again and there would be discussions about painting murals inside the tunnels and having five star chefs at McDonalds and pay a thousand dollars a month in amenities. We would keep changing contracts on the roadside landscaping and soon the mulch would disappear and weeds appear and the roundabouts would be changed to signs that say, every man for himself. We would squabble over speed limits and age limits and fences.
HORRORS.

Thanks for reminding me! We just left a town like that, making many poor choices with our tax dollars.
