> In the American context, an extreme right-wing city government

My businesses is in Carmel, Indiana. It is the definition of far right wing republican. There are often races where the only candidates are Libertarian or Republican. Here’s what it looks like:

* Constant growth driven by tax incentives.

* More roundabouts per capita and a corresponding low injury accident rate

* Fantastic public parks and commons (that drive up real estate values)

* best or near best public school system

* consistently in the top 10 places to live in the US

It’s been this way for 20 years. The city is expensive to live in and safe, and public transportation is minimal.
