Making this decision as a politician in this country is death to your career though; how could we incentivize our leaders to bite the hand that elects them?

If your local mayor decides to allow a tower block to be built next to your house, you might be pissed.

But if the president says 'we're gonna take away mayors powers to restrict housebuilding', you won't be pissed yet.... And when a builder comes along to build later it'll be too late.
