How about: - City Hall can simply bulldoze any and all buildings, from individual houses all the way up to universities, museums, zoos, airports, major historical monuments, nuclear reactors, and even City Hall itself, with no warning, for very little money, and with negligible ill effect on public opinion. - Major reshaping of the surrounding landscape is governed only by budget, not by environmental review, which is okay because it will never have any environmental impact. - All medium-sized towns feature monumental statues of the currently serving mayor. - A single mayor can, and frequently does, serve for centuries and centuries without ever seeking re-election. - Medicine, education, highways, airports, seaports, and even spaceports and nuclear reactors are municipal areas of jurisdiction.
