    Indirectly, yes. How is the infrastructure of your town/city maintained. Is it falling apart or is it in good condition. Do the richer neighbourhoods coincidentally see more city workers updating their plumbing while you sometimes have to flush twice to get it all down because of unmaintained pipes, and are therefore paying a higher water bill as a result?

    These are all political decisions.

      i have no direct say in any of that.

      especially as i don’t have the cash to say, tear down my building and rebuild an entirely new modern one with new plumbing.

        But that’s exactly the point. That would be what people who vote would look for in a local election. What’s this politicians stance on spending money on ageing infrastructure. (For example)

        We’re not saying its “progressive” or “conservative” just that everything is political at the end of that day.
