I don't think blaming the govt. is going to deal with the issue. Honestly, I don't know what the strategic answer is, given that urbanisation seems to inevitably lead to this problem; but I do know our govts. have a responsibility to the poor and oppressed and not to put economic growth first. As God's ordinance they accomplish much good, and we as Christians should be the first to recognise it. Their moral failings should be our major concern, not their fiscal policies.
