Mayor Williams knows this shit all too well, so from the start, he never intended to solve this problem legally, because it just can't be solved that way.
He can only turn to Lance for help.
Lance scratched his head, "This will make me offend a lot of people."
He pursed his lips; it's not that he can't do it, but it depends on whether the price is worth it.
If there's no revenue, just offending a whole city's worth of people, he wouldn't agree to it even if his relationship with Mayor Williams is good.
Just because the relationship is good doesn't mean he's his dad.
Mayor Williams also clearly understands this, even if Lance were his son, he might not be able to do that much for him, so everything ultimately comes down to raw benefits.
"Some of them are willing to relocate, but they're being hijacked by these people with ever-rising land prices, passively placed in opposition to us."
