City staffer: “We can’t spend our way out of this crisis. We don’t have enough revenue. We’re going to need significantly more help from senior govts to achieve the targets.”

Spot the incongruence? Staffers need to get back to their jobs processing paper to avoid the huge backlog of housing supply waiting to be released. The private sector can (invest) spend the way out of the crisis, but staffers (drien by their unions) want to funnel the funds through their grossly inefficient hands.
