Has the city council or the mayor or whoever runs the city proposed something that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen? Like, say, letting all the villains loose in a walled-off part of the city?
Marevelous: So, a prison without guards? No. Because that would be stupid. And Mayor Blossom isn’t stupid. Mayor Blossom comes up with good villain management ideas like repurposing the old hospital campus as a supermax prison for supervillains with superpowers or that need particular one on one mental evaluation and help. Moving them to Barkham reduced recidivism rates AND break outs at the Pen, because they were able reallocate some of the money they were using on specialized security measures to rehabilitation programs. And because Barkham’s population is so much smaller, it’s easier to monitor them all AND give them individual psychiatric care, so there are way less incidents with them there then back when they went to the Pen with everyone else.
There’s a reason Mayor Blossom runs unopposed most of the time. Crime rate aside, there’s not enough unrest to unseat her. She does a good job. Sometimes someone proposes fiascos like the dance fight light poles, but even though it was obviously ridiculous, it wasn’t dangerously ridiculous. The elections got postponed because of the unresolved Nightmare Night… mayhem? And this this isn’t an endorsement. But crime rates aside, things are good and the other candidate is kind of an unqualified rampant disaster baby who has no place holding office.
Fillisecond: She’s not even running!
Marevelous: Or winning! I’m only in charge because no one but Zapp was even willing to be, and I’d never give him the satisfaction because I’m petty and vindictive. Like a certain other pony who is NOT RUNNING for mayor and who you definitely should not vote for, even as a write-in. You can replace half the city counsel and not much would change, but Mayor Blossom’s VERY beneficial to this city.
[The views of Mistress Marevelous are solely her own and this ask was in no way funded by Mayor Blossom’s campaign because she is not corrupt, which may be technically true of her opponent, but her opponent is also, technically, an unqualified rampant disaster baby who hates responsibility, so it’s Maretropolis’ call.]
