This is why most things aren't put to a vote - most things would be voted down. The recent Olympics are one example, but it's largely true. Had they had a vote for the music center or the new library, would they have passed? If they had a vote for a stretch of highway, or a train #cough#lrt, would they pass?
The bottom line is that the majority of people don't use most things. And if you ask them to vote, they'll only vote for things that
they want. And then nothing gets built.
