With all due respect: Do you have examples of "well run" cities in other 
countries? (Although we should recognize that American cities must exist 
within the framework of American laws, constitution and history.)

My main point here is that your definition of "well run" may be overly 
idealistic. It may be no more realistic than the extreme left's visions 
of cities where police are unnecessary, poverty does not exist, 
everybody is vegan and rides bicycles... or whatever.

I've asked similar questions regarding national policies regarding 
taxation, etc. If you can't give examples of countries or cities that, 
in your view, do things properly, it may be that your standards are 
unrealistic.
