As a resident of Georgia you can get screwed by the price of whatever the local government decides to build. One of the reasons I moved from my hometown was the idea of people who celebrated pine trees once a year planting expensive palm trees on the city square.Also the expensive pine cone fountain (which looked more like a pineapple) cost us more taxes for ammenities which few people voted. They hide these expenses in the city tax and sales tax.
