Have you considered the possibility that there are just a lot of people who want different things from each other and from you?

By the time you get to a group of citizens the size of San Francisco or Los Angeles, are you really going to benefit from me weighing in from Massachusetts, Anna weighing in from Rotterdam, or Jiang from Shanghai on what crime or homeless problems the city is facing or how tall buildings should be allowed to be in some part of the city? That’s not just a few wackos running for a local dog catcher position.
