a city government has hundreds (or thousands) of employees, systems of checks and balances, and hundreds of moving parts. They can't simply say "we'll just not do X for awhile to save money". It's not that simple.

To say "I can tighten my belt at home, why can't the city government?" is extraordinarily naive
