4. It would be an exciting thing to see a community development project

actually put together by the community.

Such a thing would not be possible where I live. Too many landowners and developers have had a taste of rogue government and they won't give up the advantages they cultivated through their personal relationships. And the people...well. It's 90% white and mostly Republican. Guvmint can't tell them what to do, which is why everything around here is the result of one manipulation after another. The shrewd ones expect to be "induced", and if they aren't, they get insulted. Everyone else is fed misinformation to achieve the objective. Sometimes that means demonizing people who stand in their way. And that kind of thing never disappears.

No one provides the facts accurately. It's all about motivating people through hate and fear.
