Well it sounds like in your story the people would have welcomed the developers. But now the council members and such can do this without your consent. Who's to say this power won't be abused?


We do welcome them... lol. We'll finally have a place to shop and our taxes will go down. The reason this won't go abused, is because as I said we don't have supervillains as mayor. Mayor Mike Smith, mayor of my town, will not spin around in his chair slowly and say: "It's time..." *Cue Dramatic Music* Storm troopers flood the streets. "EXIT YOUR HOMES AND GET ABOARD THE NEAREST CITIZEN RELOCATION SHUTTLE IMMEDIATELY. YOU MAY BRING ONE SUITCASE PER FAMILY." And then every house in the town is buldozed to create thousands of Jamba Juices for who? All the people are gone.

Like I said we don't tend to elect diabolical people. We may elect corrupt people or even bad people, but not diabolical people. This is not a blank check for every town council member to bulldoze the houses of the people they don't like. My house is in the middle of a subdivision. It's surrounded by residential zoning. It is ceratinly NOT for the good of the town to bulldoze it and make a commercial development. It would be against zoning ordinances.

Also as far as how they did it in my town. It's because the same few people ran every year. It's something like 4 people plus the mayor. Every election,
"Town Board Members (choose 4):"
Name
Name
Name
Name

No one else ever ran lol.
