There was a pressure at the municipal level that they had to do something in order to make the city more attractive. They did have a little more pressure than we could exert in North American cities in forcing the location, or relocation, or realignment of some of the major infrastructure items, such as the hospitals, senior citizens homes, and so on, in a way I don't think we've really tried to do.
La pression employée pour forcer l'aménagement, le déménagement ou la réorganisation de certaines des infrastructures majeures, comme les hôpitaux et les résidences pour personnes âgées, était un peu plus forte que ce qu'on pourrait exercer ici, ou que ce qu'on a essayé, je crois.
