Politicians aren't about to admit that they don't want more housing as it puts strain on the infrastructure and it's just not sexy to spend money on infrastructure, not to mention it takes away from spending on their pet projects and eye candy that can get them re-elected.

@Ronald Starusnak can you let them pay you in caramels or hard candies?

Things like candy/cakes are utterly useless.

@McKinley Crowley - Ill be sending you a PM.
