People often don’t act in their own best interest.

A lot of the sentiment that I’ve encountered living in Johnson’s district for the past few decades is that people want things to stay the way that they are.

I don’t think it’s stopping change or displacement in the area, it’s inevitable.

Eventually a reasonable person will run and take the seat from him, it just hasn’t happened yet.

I mean yes it is part of why he did a lot of those things?

Those sorts of improvements lead to an increase in property values which lead to increased costs of living for the people he represents. If those people stop living there he is less likely to get elected.

I’m not saying I agree with his policies.

I think there’s plenty of bad leadership here in the city, it’s unfair to give that title to Johnson so easily.
