Until that changes, expect more of the same.
Oh, I know. People want things that happen quickly. Finding real solutions takes time to not only conceive of, but also takes time to see real results. The best solutions involve a short-term, reactionary approach that fixes the immediate problem and funding to investigate and implement a longer term, more holistic and proactive approach to prevent a continuation. What our politicians tend to engage in, and all the voters seem to care about, is the short term. What gets them through the next election cycle? If the voters don't demand better then this is just going to continue.
