If we leave it up to our politicians, we will not necessarily get the best answers for the whole community. We have enough examples of this that do not benefit the larger community.
Examples:
Damage to public school system by legislature
Drainage from Lake Okeechobee
Selling of city-owned electric plant to benefit the beach
I am certain I could come up with some other examples.
