Social media - Any qualified person who is capable and willing to do the hard work to make the city/province/country better has to contend with making 4-10x less than what they could make in the private sector and given the high profile subject themselves and their families to idiots occasionally showing up on their driveways at their homes, accosting them and potentially family members in public, and all the like for their efforts. Pre-social media it was probably a lot harder to figure out where people live, family connections, and so forth.
At the end of the day we now have leaders and politicians in all parties who look at the compensation and the consequences of the high profile nature of the job and still want to sign up for that. The last people you want running the country/province/city are those who want to seek attention and/or think the compensation is good on a relative basis to what else they could be doing with their lives.
