You cannot compare term limiting the executive and term limiting the legislature.

You know what creates urgency among politicians? The desire to get reelected.

Politicians should concern themselves with providing effective leadership and sound policies not JUST thier reelection campaigns.

When someone doesn’t have to worry about getting re-elected more than just once, are they going to do what’s best for the people or what’s best to enrich themselves while in office?

No, that just creates holistically harmful policies that pander to a base at opportune times. Since everyone here seems to be part of that base, I'm not at all surprised at the state of the city.
