"Let's suppose you have a really ambitious goal in life - you want to kill your community! You want to drive away people, eliminate jobs, undermine businesses, and you won't quit until the whole place is in ruins. Here is the perfect manual, filled with proven ideas, that every town wrecker needs to make his dreams come true!" -- from publisher.
Don't have quality water -- Don't attract business -- Ignore your youth -- Deceive yourself about your real needs or values -- Shop elsewhere -- Don't paint -- Don't co-operate -- Live in the past -- Ignore your seniors -- Reject everything new -- Ignore outsiders -- Become complacent -- Don't take responsibility.
