Quote by: Domino  I guess it depends on how much you think should be done. I think we could get a pretty big majority to agree on the obvious stuff, like murder or rape.
Really though, I'd have to combine that with greatly increased local autonomy. I'd allow each municipality/county determine its own requirements for its local legislation, and allow them to take care of many more of their own problems, whether through taxation, or perhaps by forming a coop with neighboring localities. |
Before you make up you mind try attending some city hall meetings and in particular try to fight city hall about rent raises and so forth. I did. And I no longer have much respect for city governments, who seemed controlled by those who own businesses and support some shady ventures. The Landlords locally are the lawyers, doctors, judges, and the Walmart type CEOs. I attempted to fight this slum landlord in Norwalk California who was rasing rent twice a year and allowing the place to fall apart, the Landlord who owned the property was a local doctor, who allowed the kids swimming pools to turn green without cleaning them, and where fruit rats attack a baby with jelly on it's face while it lay in it's bedroom. The Landlord won and city hall said he had the right to raise the rent because he spent money to put new blacktop on the parking lot. Window dressing to get more renters.
Have a rent dispute with a landlord, forget going to court because the judges all own property for rent. Local politics are the most corupt ones in the spectrum.
