Governments should be working on multi-generational scales. Not "fads" of what people want because they saw it in a movie or they grew up with it.

replyIf the people disagree with you, then you're not talking about democracy, you're talking about "benevolent" authoritarianism ("we know what's good for you, and that's what you're going to get, like it or not").
Just be clear what you're really advocating for.
Since when is government a democracy? Roman times or something like that? Most? Some? Or at least a few government officials are elected. Pretty sure most are hired.
replyWhen you pan out, walkable neighborhoods are at the multi generational scale — car centric suburbia is the fad.
