That is a question that you, as a community, need to ask.  

Are we willing to live in our community the way it is?   

What are you tolerating?   

What are the things that you pretend aren't really a problem or that you are avoiding addressing?   

When you really start to analyze why you do what you do, then you can change. However, if you just say "we are willing to live with it the way it is," then that is what you get.   

Maybe all of your community members do not feel the way your leaders feel. Maybe your leadership is fine with how it is but other people are not fine with how it is. Then you need new leadership or a way to work around the leaders.
