The people of the big cities will find that all those problems will go away after electing Republican mayors.
Yikes!
You have WAY to much faith in politicians.
Politician noun, ('bad word) - an elected official, usually who won on a campaign funded by a greedy corporation or other corrupt wealthy political figure(s), put in place to obey lobbyists paid by greedy corporations or other corrupt wealthy political figure(s).
On the local level, politicians can have a fairly significant impact. At the national level, they usually just mess things up. The less they do, the better it is for everyone.
But at the local level, Rudy Giuliani really did greatly improve NYC. As much as the left-wingers would like to decry, and deny it... you really can't. There were like 'no-mans lands' inside NYC before Rudy started reforming and improving the law enforcement.
