My government doesn’t give a flying fuck about “good marketing”, they only care about money and power, which their corporate overlords are more than happy to provide in exchange for…(lots of) money and (real) power. We’ve been agitating for better pedestrian access in the city for years now and this is the bare minimum we got. We’re still raising hell about it
I don’t know how it is in never-colonized countries, but here, local bodies don’t get much by way of taxes and infrastructure spending is by state or national government since all income and business taxes go to them ala colonial administration. Locals don’t have leverage over infrastructure projects, and local body politicians have no pressure from locals over their handling of non-infrastructure funds.

Yeah but not spreading to also cover good marketing is like a bad example to increase money and power. Little investment, great profits.
But yo, keep up the good fight! The fact you don’t give up against all odds is inspiring. I wish you the best!!
