It would be interesting to do an audit departments like Planning, EcDev and Public Works and see how many bodies they've gone through over the past 30 years. My suspicion is that the results would be damning.

"Where is the political leadership to respond?" asks Spec editor Howard Elliott. "Historically, it’s been difficult to keep the spotlight of public attention on the story — it’s not sexy, and tends to get overshadowed by things such as, say, the threat of losing a football team over a stadium debate...But does the political and ethical will exist to deal with the crisis?.... Hello? That’s called the status quo, and it’s not working... Come to think of it, perhaps this problem is not that complex after all. It’s about quality of life, public safety, collective responsibility and public stewardship."
