That might be due to the lack of acumen and short-sightedness of those in control. That said if your taking these people on you also need to be able to sustain yourself and your family.

If whatever income you receive allows you to continue in a manner that improves the borough without depleting your standard of living and social standing, the greater chance you have of meeting your objectives. People will soon forget about these increases if they begin to see benefits.
