"Measures are being taken at the municipal level to address your concerns."

What UTTER nonsense.

What is being taken at the municipal level is WINDOW DRESSING aimed at getting the politicians in question re-elected.

It is RIDICULOUS for your group to pretend that the flood of overseas money is "outside the scope of" your project.

To the contrary, that flood of overseas money is RESPONSIBLE for the genesis of your project, a bit like the way that potting soil, a pot and some seeds are responsible for the genesis of a pot of garden flowers.

You are enabling a debilitating condition. What a ghoulish and maladaptive act. YOU should be the ones SEEKING A CURE, not enabling and normalizing a curable disease.
