Municipal-level politics are hugely biased toward middle- and upper-class squeaky wheel homeowner type groups. You can do more or less whatever you want in commercial areas and poor neighbourhoods most of the time.

You can see a quantitative version of this with project funding. How much has HRM spent building ice surfaces during the past 10 years?
