> Indeed, in an urban setting, direct votes on everything would be
unworkable, and not particularly helpful. I've no interest or expertise in
where the next sewer line should go, and will happily leave those decisions
to those who know and care about such things.
And when the next sewer line or street rerouting entails your business or residence being relocated........The selective indifference problem is a pisser. ---
True enough. However a direct vote by all means maybe everyone else decides the sewer will be in your area and votes that way - and then you're screwed.
Also, who gets to vote? Here in L.A. County, which is physically larger than the State of Connecticut, should everyone in the county vote on a possible sewer near me, or just some people?
