View submission: Improving walkability cost me an election

You did the right thing and we need more elected officials to do these long term things vs shirt term political wins. I would say this is a phenomenon in the United States, but human nature is short term. Voters are moved by short term narratives and are willing to ignore long term benefited if it means it’ll save 2 minutes on their Starbucks drive thru. Good job and sorry you lost. Looks like your town missed out!
