I like to pretend that the city officials aren't just dumb and there's some sort of overarching method to their madness. Yeah, I did string together a bunch of stuff, but I like the idea of roving crackheads keeping people from leaving their fifteen minute cities and forcing them out of single family housing which is otherwise enormously popular.

All those commercial buildings downtown that have been emptied out will get converted into "safe" residential apartments and then the whole sunset and outlying areas can slowly get turned over to the roving crackheads attended to by legions of government employees with enormous pensions who make sure their open-air drug markets proceed in an orderly fashion while the normies get chased out of their nice single family houses into high security "sustainable" pods.
