View submission: Improving walkability cost me an election
I always remember that Japanese leader that built flood protection for a town and was widely mocked by that town. Until decades later when they would have been wiped away if it wasn't for the flood protection.
Sadly when it deals with infrastructure, something you do now might not be felt for 10 years. But the election is in two. And as we've learned from the presidential election, you can't really persuade voters on complex issues.

That is an inspirational story. Weirdly, I just watched a documentary about that.
