Infer about state of gov't, don't bother finding anything out about it let alone get involved, then griping online? You probably deserve bad government.

6 months residency is more than enough time to become acclimated to the cities problems and be a champion of fiscally acceptable infrastructure solutions, right? No. It is not.

The author makes a very fair observation. Side note, the idea that some people "deserve bad government" is one if the single most ludicrous things i have ever read on HN

It's not. But it's more than enough time to start investigating local governance beyond "must be" statements if it is a thing you care about.
