Not THAT Shining Path, though there may be similarities. No, it is THIS Shining Path, the one hellbent on paving your slice of paradise. With the help of city bureaucrats of course. Oh, and the accelerant on this dumpster fire is your very own tax dollars.
But the money isn't the real problem. The fact that we hired an army of bureaucrats but not a single one with any relevant domain expertise for this issue or frankly any other--that is the real problem. It is the fact they hire single issue, dogmatic theocrats who see your world through the pinhole vision of their manifest destiny. They built their power and authority around nothing more that "paths are good, more paths are great" and anyone who challenges them is a heretic...an infidel. Even if what they do causes harm to you and yours. You must worship their golden calf even if you have tablets of your own. And you are powerless to resist because they are in an unholy alliance with the aforementioned army of bureaucrats who will overwhelm you with shear numbers.
This city was promoted on the promise that "we could do better ourselves." Do what exactly? Import outside agendas? Hire "better" (our just more?) consultants? We've certainly done the former but the latter has not served us well.
This is not the happy path we were promised.
