The tendency for mayors in large cities to spearhead a flashy, big building project (stadiums, convention centers, etc.) at the taxpayer's expense, and often with rushed planning. Mostly motivated by wanting to out-do the previous mayor, it often is seen by most as misplacing funds that would be better invested in basic functions, like infrastructure, schools, and the like.
