Most communities are quite poor.  Even my town (governed by a mayor and
counsil) is struggling.  Their solution is to raise taxes - perpetually? They
also lobby for federal/provincial monies, but it always seems like trying to
take food from a wolf.

Meanwhile, there are empty commercial spaces - unoccupied for years. No one
can afford to participate in the town rates for taxes.  The end result..
infrastructure costs are not acquired and the town plumbing/sewa
e/elctrical/streets all fall apart.

There should be a more fluid and evenly spread-out application of the monies
in gov't coffers for infrastructure repairs - no questions asked.
