nope, you are totally mistaken.  if you have any proof that the politicians are enriching their developer friends, then please provide the evidence.  if you don't have any evidence, then don't make such unfounded assertions.

also conservatives and repubs favor less government and less taxes - they simply don't care about the homeless and poor people, they don't believe in providing programs to help these people because it takes money and the conservatives don't want to pay for it.

I am not blaming you birds for or poor infrastructure, it is poor because as a government we don't have the resources; when fees and taxes are proposed to fund programs, everyone screams bloody murder, including democrats.  however, there are some people (mostly democrats) that are willing to help the less fortunate and have better infrastructure by paying more taxes.  this is what I am saying, we want better things, we must be willing to pay for it.  I am are you?
