> we don't have any money for that
They always have the money. They just don't care about doing things properly. It simply isn't a priority for them.
Makes me feel good when someone comes and exploits their negligence. It's like divine retribution and they're doing god's work. They tempt fate and the gods punish them by making them pay more than they would have paid had they done things right. Amazing.
Except they don't pay, you and all the other citizens pay via taxes
They don't personally pay. But they still have to balance the budget, and the more that's spent to help with gentrification of the surrounding area (such as via nice football fields, good teachers/a good greatschools rating, well-kept grounds and events) can help lead to increased future funding and thus a bigger paycheck, at least within 5-25 years.
Except they don't pay themselves, that's why they don't care.
