Yes - this is a concern because if we cannot look for the greater good/community as a whole, we are never going to get anything new in this town. We are shooting ourselves in the foot with this attitude. This is a sea change in attitude from years ago when people did look out for others and society/the city as a whole. Don't know when this all changed but this is going to be a bearcat to deal with down the road.
