A lot of city governments no longer really focus on the day-to-day living experience in their city. Instead, they focus on property value and the discovery of increasingly palatable ways to limit or justify raising property taxes in order to stay in power.
Big city government is almost entirely Democrat run. The primaries are everything. The voters in primaries are city union workers. The way to win in city primaries is to promise more money for less effort to them. That is the central issue of big city American politics - it’s just poorly run, very expensive, and operated to extract money from taxpayers to hand over to the unions
