This crisis will not be the only one, many cities have kicked the can down the road on infrastructure while funding programs for enrichment and diversity for small segments of the population, ignoring the whole.

9 times out of 10. Said project usually involves gibs or a stupid beautification/landscaping Job. With the contract normally going to friends of whoever is in charge.
This is what happens when the City is run by idiot politicians whose only goal is to get to higher office, or maintain their current position with no thought of doing their real job, which is to SERVE the City.
Hey folks, when you elect people who look cute but have no brains, you get screwed.

But they have a beautiful fountain instead.
Meanwhile guys like this are using atmospheric water generators to provide water, and... No surprise.
