My theory about municipal sclerosis is that it's just easier to credit claim with your constituents by opposing things than actually improving the services they use.
E.g. it's far simpler for LA council members to have a tantrum over the gondola than actually doing things for people without cars.

Can't wait for millions of people from around the world to fly into the worst cities in the history of human civilization. Wake up at the Executive Inn of Arlington, Texas and walk a half-mile down past the used car lots down this street with no sidewalk to arrive at the parking lot of AT&T Stadium.
