There's an X factor though. Which is, what will actually gain/lose votes. Also known as priority/secondary issues. They may decide 80% want A, but those 80% won't make decisions based on A.
To look at it from a marketing exec perspective, they made Blade Runner 2049. It was made due to strong nostalgia, it was extremely well received, and it bombed.
Bud Light dropped from being the top selling beer because a minority of people stopped buying it without as many new customers.
McDonald's has such a strong brand that they keep increasing their prices without losing too many customers.
Right they won't be perfect but I still think it would be worth a try. Approach government policy like a business would. What will attract people to the area that would make them pay taxes.
What would be so bad about government trying to give people what they want when they want it? People want clean water, so give them clean water. People don't want to spend a lot on housing so build more housing. Just treat government services as a value added.
I would much rather that compared to what we have now where some failure lawyer just decides what people need. And if you look at social issues I am completely right. If someone say at the marketing department at Walmart started bashing trans people they would be fired within minutes.
